Astral Pet Store (WN)

Su Ping went across the street to find Qin Shuhai in order to get Qin Duhuang’s contact information.

Qin Shuhai and the other titled battle pet warriors of the Qin family felt extremely flattered because of Su Ping’s arrival. One of the titled battle pet warriors stepped forward and offered his phone to make the call.

“Qin.”

Su Ping took over the man’s phone and went straight to the point, “It’s me, Su Ping. I want to ask you about something.” “Mr. Su?”

Qin Duhuang had recognized Su Ping’s voice before he introduced himself. Su Ping’s call surprised him. “Yes, what is it?”

Qin Duhuang was speaking with the utmost respect.

He was there when Su Ping challenged the Tower and managed to leave in one piece after killing legendary battle pet warriors who were stationed there. Su Ping was also the one who had sold the beast king to him; he still believed that the beast king was more like a gift because no one would have sold a beast king at such a cheap price.

“Nothing. I’m just asking about the Tower and the beast strikes,” Su Ping said.

Qin Shuhai didn’t give him enough details; Su Ping hoped Qin Duhuang could paint a clearer picture for him.

“The Tower…” Qin Duhuang said, “I didn’t pay much attention to the Tower but I think they’re doing something recently. They sent out legendary battle pet warriors as reinforcements to the base cities. I heard they were organizing some base cities to prepare defense lines against the wild beats. The Longjiang Base City will be part of the defense line at the southeast.”

“A defense line?”

Su Ping frowned. The wild beast strikes were more serious than he had originally thought.

“Have you heard anything about the four Heavenly Kings?” Su Ping asked.

Compared to the other wild beasts, the four Heavenly Kings were more threatening!

After all, the weakest of the four—the Otherworld Heavenly King—was at the Fate State. The other three would only be more intimidating!

“I heard that people have found traces of the ‘Seven Sins Heavenly King’ in the Nordic Continent; the other three Heavenly Kings have yet to make an appearance, but I suppose they’re going to come out sooner or later. The four Heavenly Kings have to be behind the recent strikes. I think they might be working together!” Qin Duhuang voiced his concerns.

The four Heavenly Kings were four beast kings that were the rulers of all wild beasts on the Blue Planet. The four were endowed with a high intelligence.

People could work together and so could wild beasts.

Since the strikes around the world were large in scale, the four Heavenly Kings had most likely startled an alliance.

“Anything going on in the Deep Caves?” Su Ping asked.

“How did you know?” Qin Duhuang was surprised by Su Ping’s conjecture. “The Deep Caves at the Nordic Continent have been compromised. The legendary battle pet warriors posted there were routed, and wild beasts were able to come out!”

Su Ping felt his mind weighed down by anxiety. The Deep Caves was the source of the problem!

“I wonder if we’ll have a situation similar to that of the Deep Caves here…” Qin Duhuang expressed his worry and heaved a sigh. He thought that was the most likely scenario; it would mean that the future for the human race was worrisome!

Su Ping said nothing for a few seconds. Eventually, he said, “I have to go out for a bit. I will trust that you’ll safeguard Longjiang. I have a batch of new beast kings in my store and they are good. Come and check them out when you’re free. I will finish the transaction when I come back.”

“New beast kings?” Qin Duhuang was panting. “Mr. Su, were you out and about hunting beast kings?”

Qin Shuhai and the other titled battle pet warriors stared at Su Ping in astonishment.

More beast kings?

How come Su Ping was able to get his hands on beast kings all the time?! They were longing to get beast kings of themselves.

Being titled battle pet warriors, they could sign contracts with Ocean State beast kings!

If Su Ping could sell them some, they would be able to challenge the legendary rank creatures!

“That’s all.”

Su Ping hung up the call.

“Mr. Su…” an aged titled battle pet warrior asked Su Ping as soon as the call ended, “Can we buy the beast kings as well?”

The other titled battle pet warriors only showed their eagerness with their eyes, afraid of bothering Su Ping if they asked him the same question.

Su Ping didn’t want to say no to those people, but he had to. “No. I can only sell those beast kings to legendary battle pet warriors. You wouldn’t be able to sign the contracts, even if I was able to sell the beast kings to you.” “Only legendary battle pet warriors?” They were stunned.

That is to say, those beast kings were at the Void State?!

They had gained a better understanding ever since Qin Duhuang reached the legendary rank; it was an educational experience for the whole family.

A beast king of the Void State… was even more powerful than Qin Duhuang!

But Su Ping was going to sell those beast kings…

Su Ping never ceased to stun them.

Su Ping decided to find a way to comfort them, “I may sell beast kings that are even more powerful than those ones in the future.

“So, if you want to buy the beast kings, work hard and cultivate. Try to reach the legendary rank and then you can buy the beast kings.” The titled battle pet warriors wondered if they should say yes or no. Cultivate? Reach the legendary rank?!

Su Ping was talking as if reaching the legendary rank was as easy as drinking water.

But that’s the legendary rank, for crying out loud!

So many talented titled battle pet warriors were stuck there, never able to reach the legendary rank!

Su Ping didn’t waste another second after he left the Qin family.

He had to go and find the Little Skeleton as soon as possible. The good thing was that Su Ping was currently able to tell that the Little Skeleton’s life was not in danger, all thanks to their bond established through the contract.

Even in the deep caves, the Little Skeleton had still managed to stay safe.

Whoosh!

Su Ping summoned the Inferno Dragon and sat on its back, then commanded it to fly toward the base city at the heart of the Subcontinent District.

He used the Agility buff on the Inferno Dragon. The beast pet instantly vanished in the sky above the Longjiang Base City.

Su Ping saw many beasts as they made their way through the wild terrains.

Those wild beasts were walking around and some of them were organized in small packs.

When compared with the past, the wild beasts had indeed become more active. Those wild beasts would have never left the barren areas before.

After all, the wild beasts could get very territorial. In a similar vein, humans wouldn’t leave their base cities for no reason.

Su Ping kept on frowning as they traveled.

The birds were being scared away by the Inferno Dragon’s energy.

Even the usual ninth-rank beasts would shudder with fear in front of the Inferno Dragon, let alone the birds.

That trip to the Golden Crows’ star had bettered the Inferno Dragon as well. After all, it was thanks to the dragon’s protection to fend off the heat that Su Ping became able to focus his mind solely on cultivation.

Longyang Base City.

A magnificent wall covered the base city’s perimeter. There were many battle pet warriors in golden armor flying around in the sky.

Several titled battle pet warriors stood out.

Whoosh!

A dragon was approaching the base city.

Su Ping stood on the back of the Inferno Dragon. His clothes fluttered and the wind was blowing his hair back.

He stood on the dragon and he gazed at the ground.

“Who goes there!”

The titled battle pet warriors flew toward the overwhelming dragon. Even though they felt pressured, the critical times dictated that they would have to face all dangers. “Su Ping from Longjiang!” Su Ping shouted.

A titled battle pet warrior seemed to be surprised. “You?”

Su Ping frowned. He didn’t recognize the man.

Soon, he remembered that last time he visited the Longyang Base City with Mo Fengping, that middle-aged man who was deliberately trying to create difficulties for him.

“You know him?” another titled battle pet warrior asked the middle-aged man.

“No, but I think he’s related to the Valiant Academy.”

The middle-aged man then snorted at Su Ping. “This is the Longyang Base City. Anyone below the legendary rank is not allowed to fly without permission. There are several legendary battle pet warriors here, so flying is strictly prohibited; do not disturb them. Get down and put away your battle pet. You will walk from here.”

“Can legendary battle pet warriors fly?” Su Ping asked coldly. “Of course…” someone else answered.

“That’ll do then,” Su Ping cut that man off and told the Inferno Dragon to fly onward. “Stop!”

Several men moved to stop him. The middle-aged man bellowed, “Didn’t you hear me? Are you fooling yourself, thinking that you’re a legendary battle pet warrior?”

“I am not, but I’ve killed some. Does that count?” Su Ping asked.

“You killed some? Are you kidding me…?”

The middle-aged man sneered. Before he was able to continue ridiculing him, the Inferno Dragon stepped in.

Roar!!!

That roar echoed in a large area that even went beyond the walls.

The titled battle pet warriors who were obstructing the dragon were dumbstruck, as if they had been exposed to a violent storm.

Two of them were trembling; they had even soaked their pants.

The titled battle pet warrior who had just teased Su Ping was the most scared of them all. He opened his eyes wide as if he had seen the most horrifying things.

“How dare you stop my master?” The Inferno Dragon’s deep and sonorous voice echoed in the air.

The titled battle pet warriors finally came back to their senses. They felt their blood was freezing

This dragon is terrifying!

It can talk!

Whoosh!

The Inferno Dragon flapped its wings and directly flew over the obstructing people.

If it weren’t for the contract and Su Ping’s order of not hurting people for no reason, the Inferno Dragon would have killed those titled battle pet warriors with its roar alone.

“That, that…”

“Su Ping from Longjiang? I think there’s a terrifying guy in the Longjiang Base City. What’s his name again…” “I think Su something, right?” The titled battle pet warriors looked at each other in fright.

The middle-aged man who had teased Su Ping turned pale and could not stop shaking.

Soon, Su Ping arrived at the Valiant Academy.

Whoosh!

The Inferno Dragon extended its wings and cast a huge shadow over the campus.

Su Ping was trying to search for Yun Wanli. He then found something interesting: there were two more legendary battle pet warriors standing next to Yun Wanli!
