This was a small wolf cub.
It didn't come as a surprise to Su Ping.
The Wood Heart was primarily cultivated with the Lin Wolf as its main pet.
However, Su Ping's brow quickly furrowed. He could tell at a glance that this small wolf cub didn't seem to be an ordinary Lin Wolf.
The Lin Wolf is a pet with a racial potential reaching the Elite Rank.
On Blue Star, the classification of pets, Beastmasters, and resources is based on Common, Elite, Commander, Monarch, Emperor, Saint, Legend, and Mythical Ranks.
Each pet also has corresponding evolution methods and channels that have already been discovered by Beastmasters.
Generally speaking, if a pet hasn't evolved, its detected racial potential is the highest limit it can reach.
In other words, under normal circumstances, if there isn't a way or resources to complete a pet's evolution, the natural growth limit of a Lin Wolf is the Elite Rank.
However, the world is vast and full of wonders, so some relatively rare situations naturally occur.
That is Bloodline mutation.
Generally, Lin Wolf cubs have mostly grayish-yellow fur, and only after entering their growth period or even adulthood does their fur turn greenish, becoming a bluish-green color.
But this cub, lying in the automatic feeder, was completely different.
Its entire body was emerald green, and at first glance, it didn't even look like a living creature, but rather an sculpted artwork made of jade.
Its round, pitch-black eyes looked at Su Ping, who appeared outside the box to observe it, and it let out 'ying ying ying' sounds.
Su Ping immediately chuckled, then directly called his old man.
"Hello, Su Ping? You're home?" His old man, Su An Yong's, hearty voice came through.
"Yeah, what's going on with this little wolf?"
Su Ping didn't ask what his old man was thinking, just leaving this cultivation base to him, nor did he care about him leaving without a word to find him a stepmother.
After so many years, he had long gotten used to his old man.
"Hehe, how could your old man trick my son? This little wolf's Bloodline has mutated.
The Wood-attribute Bloodlinein its body has been purified, and it now has a Poison attribute.
If it's cultivated in this direction, it might possess both Wood and Poison attributes in the future.
Someone offered twelve million, but your old man didn't sell it.
How could I sell it?
My good son is undergoing BeastmasterAwakening and is just missing his first contracted pet.
How could a mere ten million buy a father's doting affection..."
Su Ping directly hung up the phone, but his eyes had already brightened.
A mutated Poison-attribute Lin Wolf? This was truly interesting.
Although Poison-attribute pets are not as rare and precious as Mental, Space, or Time-attribute pets, they are definitely considered uncommon.
His old man was actually reliable for once, which was rare!
Thinking of this, Su Ping didn't hesitate.
Most of his graduating classmates had already completed their first pet contract by this time, but he had been hesitating.
Lin Wolves were creatures he had been familiar with since childhood. A mutated Poison-attribute Lin Wolf was undoubtedly an excellent choice.
The Soul contract slowly connected with the cub in front of him.
The little wolf, clearly only recently born, showed no resistance whatsoever.
In less than ten minutes, Su Ping opened his eyes and looked at the little fellow in front of him.
At the same time, inside the constant temperature box, through the glass cover, the little fellow also opened its eyes and looked at Su Ping.
The moment their gazes met, an indescribable sense of closeness seemed to come from their Souls.
The Soul contract connection itself is the closest relationship.
And the moment Su Ping established a contract with the little wolf in front of him, the wolf's body visibly strengthened a little.
This is the bond and connection between a Beastmaster and a pet.
A Beastmaster's Mental Energy can provide feedback for a pet's improvement and growth, and a pet's Realm Breakthrough and improvement will also raise the Beastmaster's Realmthrough the Soul connection.
The two are truly complementary.
Su Ping directly reached out and took the little wolf out of the constant temperature box.
The emerald green wolf's body was extremely soft, but it didn't have the warmth of a living creature; instead, it felt a bit cool.
"Looking at your body, I'll call you Xiao Qing."
Su Ping wasn't good at naming things.
His pet was unique to him, and whatever name it had was just a code name.
Evidently, the little wolf in his arms was also indifferent to names. It opened its mouth, which still carried the scent of milk, as if to respond to Su Ping's words:
"Awoo... woo woo woo..."
The howl from its Bloodline sounded a bit strange because its voice hadn't fully
developed yet.
Su Ping smiled slightly.
However, at this moment, he suddenly froze.
In his mind, the Myriad Spirits Codex, which had shown no changes since his Awakening, slowly opened for the first time without his control.
Amidst the rustling sound of pages turning, it quickly locked onto a specific spot!
The creature in this image was none other than a fully grown, perfectly standard Lin Wolf.
At the same time, a line of text appeared before Su Ping's eyes on the Myriad Spirits Codex.
[Illustrated Handbook 'Lin Wolf' lit up. Current Illustrated Handbook Rank: 1. Obtained Origin reward: Eye of Truth]
[Eye of Truth (Beastmaster Ability): Can use Mental Energy to discern the specific Rank, skills, and race of pets and Vicious Beasts, etc.]
Huh?!
Su Ping hadn't even reacted when he felt an inexplicable surge of information directly instill into his mind from the Myriad Spirits Codex.
The next moment, Su Ping felt a line of text appear on Xiao Qing, who was in his arms:
[Mutated Lin Wolf (Contracted)]
[Attributes: Wood, Poison]
[Current Rank: Common First-Rank]
[Racial Potential: Elite Tenth-Rank]
[Skills: Sunlight Absorption (Beginner)]
Eye of Truth?
Isn't this a talent ability that can be Awakened after a Beastmaster's Awakening?
But the problem is, every Beastmasteronly gets one chance to Awaken their own talent ability!
Wasn't his talent 'Pet Home'?
Su Ping wasn't surprised that the Lin Wolf's illustration lit up due to the contract, but he was utterly shocked by the reward after it lit up.
Although the Eye of Truth isn't a Heaven-Defying Beastmaster talent.
In fact, it, along with Mind Communication and Rapid Recovery, are known as the most common Beastmaster talents, with nearly fifty percent of Beastmaster talents being these three.
But no matter how common it was, this was a freebie!
Beastmaster talents are genuine abilities that have no acquisition channels.
Su Ping had originally imagined that the rewards from the Myriad Spirits Codexwould at most be some special resources, or perhaps some special pet evolution plans, or something else.
But he truly hadn't expected that the reward for this first illumination would give him such a big surprise.
Thinking of this, Su Ping, while stroking Xiao Qing in his arms, eagerly looked at the illuminated 'Lin Wolf' illustration.
