Qin Erlong's eyes kept flashing.
He saw the whole scene in that picture.
He heard the sword soul formed by the Holy Spirit-level resource soul seed and the Holy Spirit resource of the sword intent origin.
They also heard Su Ping's resolute refusal without the slightest hesitation.
A paper doll that looks like it's at most an elite or even ordinary level.
A sword spirit whose exact potential is unknown, but is certainly unimaginable.
These two people, if they looked at each other, would know which answer to choose, but Su Ping, that kid, resolutely rejected them.
However, Qin Erlong showed no anger or regret whatsoever.
Instead, he laughed.
This is what a beast tamer should be like!
If a beast tamer can betray even their own pet for the lure of power and resources, then what can't they betray?
Even if a beast tamer is exceptionally talented, who would dare to place a bet on such a master?
At this moment, Qin Erlong truly felt a different kind of appreciation for this young boy, aside from Su Ping's talent and his relationship with his granddaughter.
Bang!
Space shattered.
Almost immediately, Su Ping, who had disappeared from the view of the UFO, appeared beside Qin Erlong.
Su Ping had some abrasions on his body, caused by the aftershocks and the initial blast of air.
Qin Erlong sat on a small stool, smiling as he watched Su Ping emerge in a disheveled state.
"Tsk tsk, it seems your confidence is a bit off!"
Su Ping gave a bitter smile; he truly hadn't expected the final outcome to be like this.
And that spirit of the secret realm, why didn't you just talk things out? What's the point of attacking like that?
He quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to Qin Erlong before him:
"It was my carelessness. Thank you so much, Elder Qin, for saving my life."
"Even if you're refusing, you could at least be evasive. Why be so blunt?"
Qin Erlong continued with a smile.
Su Ping, however, was taken aback:
"Mr. Qin, you saw it?"
Qin Erlong nodded.
Su Ping grinned, then with a thought, the somewhat bewildered little paper doll Qianyi reappeared.
They seemed somewhat confused as to why their master had returned from their 'home'.
Su Ping tapped the little paper figure's head with his finger:
"If I don't say it directly, I'm afraid the little guy will be sad when he finds out later."
Qin Erlong's smiling expression faltered for a moment as he looked at the strange paper figure of a swordsman, then smiled slightly:
"Interesting. Compared to that so-called sword spirit, I'm more interested in whether you can cultivate an unprecedented origami figure."
Su Ping's smile widened: "I will try my best. As long as Elder Qin doesn't blame me for being foolish."
Qin Erlong nodded:
"You know it's stupid, huh? But even though it's stupid, it's amazing."
Su Ping didn't say anything; he didn't seem to think anything of it.
The next second, Dong Muyun's figure appeared not far in front of them.
At the same time, ripples appeared on the vortex gate of that secret realm.
Su Ping's heart tightened.
Dong Muyun's narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Su Ping:
"No wonder you wanted to cooperate with me. So that's what you were planning?"
Su Ping chuckled dryly. It was indeed a little embarrassing to have his scheme exposed by the person involved.
Su Ping pretended not to hear and quickly patted Lao Sha's head:
"Old Sha, take the kids back to rest first."
Old Sha nodded. At this moment, Old Sha was also extremely tired. It was clear that although the skill formula for absorbing sunlight was powerful, it could not make it a true perpetual motion machine. The energy under the sun was inexhaustible, but the body and mind would be affected to some extent.
The wolf pack was released, including Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing's gaze was somewhat resentful because she hadn't really participated in this wolf pack battle.
After all, metal-type sword-type pets, along with earth-type pets, are considered the most effective counters to poison-type pets.
Qin Erlong quickly helped Su Ping change the subject:
"Su Ping, when did you cultivate this Ten Thousand Wood Wolf? It's a brand new evolved form of the Forest Wolf. If Old Liu knew about it, he'd probably be ecstatic."
Um?!
This time it was Dong Muyun's turn to be stunned. Of course, she saw the strange, evolved form of the forest wolf that resembled a Qilin.
But she really didn't expect that thing was evolved from a forest wolf.
But the Wolf of Ten Thousand Trees? Never heard of it!
Su Ping ignored the suspicious Dong Muyun:
"It was completed a few days ago, and I was lucky. But as a brand new evolved form of the Forest Wolf, the Thousand Wood Wolf's performance is indeed up to standard!"
A completely new evolved form of the Forest Wolf?!
Holy crap?
Dong Muyun was truly stunned this time. At this moment, she finally understood why Miss Qin, who was destined to be high above everyone else from birth, would fall for such a brat who was two or three years younger than her.
Let alone Qin Xiaoxue, she reckoned that if she were a few years younger, she probably wouldn't be able to hold back either.
Of course, it doesn't seem like it's impossible now?
What a high-potential, high-quality stock this is!
How could someone so young be able to develop an advanced evolution of the forest wolf?
It is still such a powerful evolved form.
Dong Muyun pursed her lips, then suddenly gritted her teeth, and a sword-shaped pendant appeared in her hand. She looked at Su Ping:
"Su Ping, I saw what just happened. The inheritance of that sword soul is of no use to me. My Tianyun Group has no intention of developing sword-type pets. So, I'll return this so-called inheritance of the Fengdu Sword King to you."
The pendant was thrown over, but Su Ping froze on the spot. He had already given up hope on this so-called inheritance.
After all, he couldn't give up on the little paper doll's situation. He never expected that this woman would pull such a stunt.
Qin Erlong, on the other hand, looked at Dong Muyun with some wariness. This woman didn't look like a good person!
Are you suggesting I try to steal his grandson-in-law?
No, Qin Erlong made up his mind. This brat was a blockhead, but he couldn't continue to sit idly by and ignore his own granddaughter.
We need to take the initiative, otherwise, this high-quality prospective son-in-law might be snatched up by someone else!
Seeing Su Ping's stunned expression, Dong Muyun smiled:
"However, our previous contract stipulated that I wanted 24-hour exploration of this secret realm. But now that the secret realm has collapsed, it is naturally impossible to explore. According to the contract, if the exploration time is not met, our corresponding reward will be reduced accordingly!"
At this point, looking at the helpless and indignant Su Ping, Dong Muyun shrugged:
"So, according to the rules, the mechanical core is gone. You can have these few hours at Yuntian Resort."
The matter of the Left and Right Secret Realms has been resolved, and Dong Muyun's curiosity has been satisfied.
There was naturally no reason to continue.
Whether those instruments and buildings are demolished or relocated, their value will decrease; it's a matter of going with the flow!
No! My mechanical sports car!
Su Ping groaned inwardly, but his face remained impassive.
After all, it was clearly written in the contract.
Moreover, he had just taken advantage of someone else. If Dong Muyun had to say, this trip to the secret realm was truly a case of getting nothing at all.
Su Ping glanced at Dong Muyun, and this time spoke with utmost seriousness:
"No matter what, I owe you a favor!"
Having received the answer he wanted, Dong Muyun's face lit up with a warm smile.
He waved his hand and soared into the sky in the already twilight.
Qin Erlong glanced warily at the woman's departing figure.
She's not much less attractive than my granddaughter, and her background isn't bad either. Most importantly, she has the advantage of being close to the source, while my granddaughter is far away in Shanghai.
This looks dangerous no matter how you look at it.
So, Qin Erlong turned to look at Su Ping:
"Su Ping, have you been in contact with Xiaoxue recently?"
Su Ping's face stiffened, and he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly:
"We've been researching these 'Wolves of Ten Thousand Trees' lately, you know..."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just asking. You young people should interact more! Alright, I've spent a whole day here, so I'll be going now. Remember, keep in touch!"
Su Ping, with a helpless and wry smile, saw Lao Qin off to the car.
Even on the way, the president of the Beast Tamer Association of Jianghai Province didn't forget to tell himself to communicate more with Qin Xiaoxue.
Sighing and shaking his head, Su Ping didn't waste any time. Instead, he sprinted towards the bank of the Lingxi River at top speed, calling out to Da Zhuang instead of Lao Sha!
Because he had one last thing to do, to give it a try.
However, he was somewhat unsure about this matter!
After breaking through to the elite level, Su Ping awakened the Beast Taming Space characteristic, which is spatial absorption.
Su Ping didn't even dare to tell outsiders about this rather special and rare spatial characteristic.
Because the effect is too unique.
Drawing upon the essence of the secret realm to enhance one's own beast-taming abilities seems utterly evil.
However, it's obviously unrealistic to expect Su Ping to resist trying it.
So, after everyone left, Su Ping quickly returned to the banks of the Lingxi River.
The shattered spatial vortex made Su Ping somewhat nervous.
Because he could sense that to activate the spatial absorption effect, he needed to get infinitely close to the secret realm.
Furthermore, there cannot be any pets in the secret realm that are stronger than one's own level.
It can be said that the conditions for activation are extremely demanding.
Whether it can still be activated under such circumstances is unknown.
Su Ping reached out his hand directly, which meant he directly touched the weak connection of the spatial ripple.
Then, he felt as if an invisible tentacle was extending from his beast-taming space, connecting with the broken world before him through Su Ping's hand.
At this moment, his beast-taming space was like a feast for the eyes.
It pierced into this broken world with a single tendril.
With the shattering of the secret realm, countless of the original commanding swords were eliminated, and the few remaining ones were also annihilated by the spatial collapse.
This is a secret world on the verge of collapse.
Su Ping also seized the last chance to draw upon the spatial energy.
A secret realm left behind by an emperor-level beast tamer.
Although there are no resources left, this world itself is already extremely precious!
Su Ping felt as if a very special power had been injected into his beast-taming space.
This power made his beast-taming space seem like a hungry baby, desperately absorbing nutrients.
At the original boundary of the Beast Taming Space, the previously stable space began to ripple again. Then, the space, which was already larger than that of an ordinary elite Beast Tamer, slowly extended outward once more.
However, the small area that was expanded was clearly different from the previous lush green terrain.
The ground was pitch black, with a texture somewhere between metal and rock.
Clearly, it's somewhat similar to the situation in the secret realm.
Before Su Ping could even fully sense it, the expansion of the Beast Taming Space caused his spiritual energy, which had been boiling over just two days prior, to surge again.
Before Su Ping could react, his newly broken-through realm was pushed to the next level!
Elite Tier 2!
Su Ping slowly opened his eyes.
The shattered vortex gate of the secret realm has vanished without a trace.
The tentacle that had connected to the shattered secret realm through its own medium had also vanished without a trace.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, Su Ping integrated his consciousness into the Beast Taming Space.
But they saw that their original three-bedroom, one-living-room space had been expanded to include '25 rooms'.
At the same time, its own spatial characteristics also provided feedback after Su Ping's consciousness appeared:
[The spatial absorption realm grants some of the realm's inherent characteristics; however, absorbing too little essence results in no additional improvement.]
[You can continue to absorb from similar secret realms, or obtain corresponding resources and treasures to improve the essence of this secret realm into your own spatial characteristics.]
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Of course, he hadn't expected to gain any terrifying improvement through a single spatial absorption.
After all, my level of understanding is too low.
Unfortunately, if this space hadn't been shattered, I could have waited a bit longer and absorbed the energy when my cultivation level was higher.
Shaking his head, Su Ping, not wanting to be dissatisfied, let out a breath and returned to his house to look at the legacy left by the Fengdu Sword King in the space of the sword-shaped pendant.
He wasn't just talking; if he has the ability and opportunity in the future, he will still try his best to fulfill the last wish of the Fengdu Sword King and see if he can create the so-called Sword Soul according to his ideas.
Meanwhile, back home, Qin Erlong finally couldn't resist.
The 'UFO' pet has saved the footage of Su Ping's 'live stream' of the secret realm.
After watching the video over and over again, especially the outrageous behavior of the 'Wolf of Ten Thousand Trees', Qin Erlong finally couldn't resist and sent it to the authority in this field: his own family member.
Then, not long after, his phone was connected.
Sure enough, the voice on the other end of the phone, without any preamble, went straight to the point and asked:
"Qin Erlong, where did you get this wolf from?"
Chapter 114 The Sword King's Legacy! Absorbing from the Secret Realm!
Qin Erlong's eyes kept flashing.
He saw the whole scene in that picture.
He heard the sword soul formed by the Holy Spirit-level resource soul seed and the Holy Spirit resource of the sword intent origin.
They also heard Su Ping's resolute refusal without the slightest hesitation.

At the same time, ripples appeared on the vortex gate of that secret realm.

"No wonder you wanted to cooperate with me. So that's what you were planning?"
