Chapter 45 The tiger may be dead, but its might remains! A man who never hides his talents!
By the time they returned to the city lord's mansion, it was already dark.
Su Lin went to wash up first.
After three days in the wild, he felt like he was about to stink.
Both the Fiery Python and the Armored Shield Turtle have been returned to the pet space.
On the one hand, large pets are prohibited from entering the city, and on the other hand, with Lin Xiong in charge, Su Lin doesn't need to worry about safety issues at all.
Of course, during this time, Su Lin also replenished the remaining evolution points of the Xuanjia Shield Turtle, which then entered its evolution state.
It only takes an hour for it to evolve to Rank B!
Su Lin was really looking forward to seeing what kind of incredible changes its attributes would undergo!
After washing up.
I changed into a new outfit.
Su Lin arrived at the hall.
"Uncle Lin."
"Yes, please sit down."
Lin Xiong sat in the main seat, drinking tea. When he saw Su Lin come over, he put down his teacup.
"You know my temper; I don't like nagging. Tell me, what's going on with you? How can an E-rank Beastmaster be so incredibly powerful?"
Su Lin was not surprised by Lin Xiong's straightforward approach.
Over the years, the other party has long regarded her as family, so of course she wouldn't beat around the bush when facing the children.
Lin Xiong is also someone Su Lin can trust.
"Uncle Lin, don't ask me for details, I can't explain it either. In short, the profession I awakened comes with a talent ability that allows my contracted pets to evolve."
"What? Evolution?!"
Lin Xiong suddenly stood up!
His previous air of expertise vanished instantly, and his breathing became visibly faster.
"Are you serious?!"
Why would I lie to you?
Su Lin knew that evolution was something that could be kept secret for a while, but not forever, so it was better to come clean sooner rather than later.
Therefore, he said without hesitation:
"My two pet beasts evolved from an E-rank fire serpent and an E-rank sea turtle."
"Moreover, based on my observations, they are different from their regular counterparts after evolution; they seem to be stronger."
"What's the highest level they can evolve to?"
"We don't know yet, but I estimate... at least S-rank?"
"Evolved from E-rank... to S-rank?!"
Lin Xiong stared in astonishment, his eyes widening. He remained frozen for a full two seconds before letting out a wry smile and sitting down again.
"You little rascal, you really gave me a huge scare!"
shocked!
Lord Lin, who was fearless, was truly terrified at this moment!
Even a fool knows how terrifying it is to be able to evolve a beast!
Although under normal circumstances, pets can also evolve through later training.
But that requires extremely demanding conditions and massive resources!
Any pet is lucky to evolve once in its lifetime, it is extremely rare to evolve twice, and it is practically nonexistent to evolve three times!
And Su Lin... in just three days, he evolved one of his two E-rank beast pets into a C-rank and the other into a B-rank.
What does this mean?
This is too fast!
This is absolutely incredible!
If this matter gets out, Su Lin will definitely become the target of public criticism and be targeted by countless forces!
If it were an ordinary person, the final outcome would definitely be extremely tragic!
"Uncle Lin, are you alright?"
Su Lin understood this as well, which is why he brought it up, partly to get Lin Xiong to help him withstand the pressure.
But now, judging from Lin Xiong's performance, is he also unable to withstand it?
That would be a bit troublesome.
"Ah Lin, I know what you're thinking."
"You can tell Uncle Lin such a big secret so openly. It seems you really consider me one of your own. Uncle Lin is very gratified. All these years of raising you have not been in vain."
Although Lin Xiong was a military general, he was not a clueless fool who knew nothing. He saw through Su Lin's thoughts at a glance.
He shook his head, calmed himself down, and said with a wry smile:
"To be honest, when you took that blow from me, I knew you had a big secret, but I never imagined it would be this terrifying!"
"If it's just these two pet beasts, no matter how overpowered they are at this stage, I can handle it. If they insist that I got them, no one can do anything about it."
"But evolution... that can't be hidden..."
"Uncle Lin, what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin's heart sank, and he frowned, saying:
"Does this mean... I should hide and wait until I'm strong enough before showing myself?"
"Nonsense! What kind of talk is that!"
Lin Xiong's eyes widened, and without the slightest hesitation, he rejected the proposal on the spot.
"Even if I, your Uncle Lin, can't handle it, I won't let you act like a coward!"
"My Lin family... no, including your Su family, we don't have that kind of cowardly habit; we're all people who never hide our talents!!"
"That……"
Su Lin scratched his head, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
"Alright, look at you, already at your wit's end?"
Lin Xiong laughed heartily and winked, "Don't worry, I've thought of a great idea!"
"Do you have a solution?"
"Of course!"
Lin Xiong didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:
"Your ability is truly extraordinary. I, your Uncle Lin, certainly couldn't handle it, but there are others who can!"
"Who?"
"Your mom!"
"Uncle Lin, are you insulting me?"
"..."
Lin Xiong was both amused and exasperated: "You brat, when did I insult you? I was talking about my sister-in-law, your mother, Xiao Ruoyun, the Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao!"
"She's an extremely rare SS-rank top-tier Beastmaster. It's perfectly reasonable that your talent is inherited from her!"
"this……"
Su Lin asked in confusion, "But isn't my mother dead?"
"..."
Lin Xiong found these words extremely awkward.
But now is not the time to dwell on that.
Su Lin's evolutionary ability is a huge problem that must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely cause a major disaster later!
He patiently explained:
"Never mind whether they're dead or not, anyway, your parents were the strongest members of the Demon Suppression Army's pioneering regiment back in the day, seventh-level Emperor Realm experts!"
"Do you know what people called them back then? The Twin Pillars of the Demon-Suppressing Army!"
"This husband-and-wife team cleared 172 dungeons without a single failure!"
"Seven SSS-level dungeon resource points were discovered and developed, and one eighth-level Saint Realm BOSS and dozens of seventh-level Emperor Realm BOSSes were slain!"
"With such illustrious military achievements, if one cannot say that one's merits are unparalleled and one's bravery surpasses that of the entire army, then one is certainly second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others!"
At this point, Lin Xiong paused, then added, "By the way, do you know who that person is?"
Su Lin quickly shook his head.
To be honest, even Lin Xiong himself didn't know what he was talking about.
Over the years, whether to take care of his feelings or for some other reason, Lin Xiong has almost never mentioned his parents' deeds.
The limited information Su Lin had came from textbooks...
"Do you know which town the Demon-Suppressing Army is referring to?"
Lin Xiong asked again.
"A town of suppression?"
Su Lin gave a tentative answer.
"wrong!"
Lin Xiong spoke decisively, his expression filled with admiration and awe:
"It's Zhen, the 'Zhen' in 'Zhenshan' (meaning 'to suppress mountains'). Su Zhenshan! The founder of the Demon Suppression Army, and the first commander of the Demon Suppression Army!"
"Back then, on the very first day the game was released, he awakened in a desperate situation. As a civilian, he killed the first D-rank BOSS, formed the first civilian awakened soldier squad, and later reorganized it into the Demon Suppression Army!"
"Throughout his life, he participated in three battles to defend against the 'Beast Tide,' slaying one Ninth-Rank Divine Realm BOSS, five Eighth-Rank Saint Realm BOSSes, and countless other BOSSes of varying sizes. If he hadn't disliked empty fame, he would probably have been ennobled and appointed as a general long ago, and be enshrined in the Temple of Martial Arts!"
"He is the true soul of the Demon Suppression Army. Even in the current Demon Suppression Army, there are countless disciples and former associates of his. If it weren't for that accident, he would probably be a pillar of the nation by now!"
It's clear that Lin Xiong holds Su Zhenshan in high esteem.
And Su Lin...
"Uncle Lin, I learned about these things when I was in elementary school. Besides, isn't this my grandfather?"
"yes!"
Lin Xiong nodded: "I'm talking about your grandfather!"
"You're still young and inexperienced; you don't understand the saying 'Even a dead tiger retains its power'!"
"With a grandfather like that and parents like that, what's wrong with being a little awesome? What's wrong with being a little defying the heavens?"
"On the contrary, it would be strange if you were a good-for-nothing, wouldn't it?"
Lin Xiong suddenly stood up, his spirit soaring to the heavens:
"Lin'er, listen to your uncle, don't keep anything from me!"
"If you have the ability, show it! If you have the skill, display it! As long as you don't commit a heinous crime that angers both heaven and man, whoever disagrees with you, just say one word: fight!"
"Who asked you? Just one sentence: My mother is Xiao Ruoyun, my father is Su Lingtian, and my grandfather is Su Zhenshan!"
"Back then, the things they did caused were truly astonishing and earth-shattering!"
"If anyone has any doubts about you, let them go down and ask these three!"
