Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 1049

Once he arrived at the Celestial Court, Su Ping was shocked at the splendors he saw again.

The court shined as brilliantly as the sun in the middle of space, driving all cold and darkness away. Many planets and celestial bodies surrounded the Celestial Court, yet they were much smaller in comparison.

That was the place where the Celestial experts lived—the strongest beings in the entire universe.

Su Ping saw that the Dark Dragon Hound and his other pets were curiously sniffing out everything they saw on the street, so he quickly called out to them. “Stop running about. Dark Dragon Hound, I’m speaking to you!”

The two sides of the streets were filled with stores and supermarkets that were famous across the universe. Their owners were at least lords of planetary systems.

The stores located in prosperous regions were even related to Ascendants one way or another.

“Humph. Where is this bumpkin from?”

A noise whooshed above Su Ping’s head. He then saw a young man driving a magnetic levitation car with two beautiful girls on the backseat. The man laughed in disdain when he flew past Su Ping.

The latter raised his eyebrows and said, “Kid, who are you talking about?”

“You!”

The young driver didn’t expect that Su Ping would dare argue with him. However, he didn’t have the time to make a case out of it. He replied with a cold smile, and then drove his car to enter the magnetic levitation channel up above.

However, an energy wave rushed over exactly at that moment.

The young man was greatly surprised, and so were the two girls on the backseat. They looked back, only to see a scorching cannonball darting towards the car.

The young man changed his expression, and hurriedly punched to defend. His attack contained the power of strange laws that would melt the fiery cannonball.

However, there was a sharp law of ripping imbued in the cannonball, which allowed it to penetrate his fist aura and hit the car.

Boom, the car was hit and blown up on the spot.

The car remains had been attracted to Su Ping before they hit the ground. Then, they were obliterated into ashes without making a sound.

“You!”

The three people in the car flew out and stood in midair. The young man was deeply infuriated after seeing his car destroyed. He glared at Su Ping who was at ground level.

Is the man out of his mind?

He dared to blow my car up just because I called him bumpkin?

Does he not know where he is? This isn’t the barbaric planet he grew up on; it’s the Celestial Court!

“You should’ve known better than being mean.”

Su Ping snorted. He certainly wouldn’t let anyone yell at him, at least not in his master’s territory.

“Kid, do you know who I am?”

The young man sullenly stared at Su Ping, who was a complete idiot in his eyes!

“I don’t care who you are. Do you know who I am?” Su Ping asked back in disdain.

“What a bumpkin Star Lord. I don’t know which planetary system you lord over, but I’ll have you know… We’re from the Divine Dome Academy. Have you heard of it?” asked the young man, holding back his fury.

“The Divine Dome Academy?”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He felt he had heard about it somewhere before, but it didn’t leave a deep impression on him.

“That’s right. The Divine Dome Academy, only the greatest cultivation land in the entire universe!”

The young man coldly looked down at Su Ping, as if he were already a dead man. “Our principal has a Celestial State cultivation. All our teachers are Ascendants! Now, do you realize the stupid thing you’ve done?”

Su Ping was enlightened. So, the Divine Dome Academy was the school that his master asked him to go to when he became a Star Lord.

He remembered that one of the rewards after he won the Universe Geniuses’ Contest was the admission to the academy as a special student.

For the admittance to be treated as a reward suggested that the place was truly extraordinary.

Su Ping’s surprise grew. Their principal was in the Celestial State and their teachers were in the Ascendant State. Such a faculty was truly terrifying; no wonder it was called the best school in the universe!

However, I was only admitted as a special student because I won the championship. Those guys seem downright useless. How did they get admitted? Su Ping was puzzled.

“Kneel before me and say a hundred times that you’re a bumpkin. If you do that, I may consider saying something nice on your behalf when the inspectors come. Or, just prepare to die if you don’t!”

The young man was intending to insult Su Ping brutally. Even if the latter truly fell on his knees and did as told, he would still have the guy executed later.

After a momentary lapse, Su Ping smiled and said, “I suggest you get down here right now. I don’t like talking to others while keeping my head raised. It’ll give me a sore neck.”

“You’re asking to be killed!”

The young man was furious; the impudent fellow still acted arrogantly, even after learning the name of their academy. Are all the bumpkins who have cultivated in far-flung areas really this ignorant?

The two girls who traveled with him also frowned.

The Divine Dome Academy was a holy land to them. In fact, not just them, the students in the entire academy had been cultivating there as if in pilgrimage. They were in awe whenever the name of their academy was mentioned.

Whoosh!

Five men quickly rushed over at that time. They turned out to be five Star Lords!

They all wore golden armor, like the guards next to a supreme-ruler, holding golden spears. They looked rather intimidating.

“Waves of laws have been detected…”

A middle-aged man among the golden armored guards looked at the place where the aura of laws lingered. He glanced over, immediately noticing Su Ping and the young man currently fighting.

“Retrieve the footage.”

A video clip was instantly displayed in front of the middle-aged man. It was exactly the scene that happened a minute earlier, when Su Ping raised his hand and blew up the young man’s vehicle.

Once he had a grasp onthe situation, the senior looked at Su Ping and was about to scold him, but then found that Su Ping was somehow familiar. He narrowed his eyes and observed him more carefully. His pupils contracted in an instant.

Whoosh!

He shivered and quickly moved to Su Ping’s front.

Such action made the young man sneer. “Humph. Kid, you’re screwed now!” He didn’t expect the patrolmen of the Celestial Court to be that efficient and decisive. Truly deserving of a place where Lord Supreme lived.

However, the next moment, his eyes almost popped out.

He saw the armored senior press his hand against his chest and bow, then respectfully say, “Young master, you’re back!”

“Young master?”

Su Ping was also surprised by the way the middle-aged man addressed him. Lord Supreme was his master, but the man was calling him as if the Celestial were his father.

“Did they disturb you?” The middle-aged man raised his head, still as respectful as before.

Once it was clear that he had been recognized, Su Ping nodded and said, “Exactly. That guy called me bumpkin. What do you think we should do about it?”

“Anyone who dares insult Lord Supreme’s disciple shall be executed without mercy!”

The middle-aged man immediately stood straight. Eyes cold, he emitted a strong killing aura. His golden armor also glowed brilliantly. His four teammates’ armor was also glimmering; it seemed that they were interconnected as an array.

Su Ping clapped his hands and said, “Well said. He thinks he can do anything since he’s a student of the Divine Dome Academy. He should be executed!”

“Exactly… Wait, what?”

The middle-aged man was about to echo what Su Ping said, but then caught that detail and stiffened, dazed for a moment.

He looked at the three people who were already astounded in the sky. He felt that his own expression couldn’t have been much different from theirs.

That youngster is a student of the Divine Dome

Since he had been working in the veritable power center of the Golden Star Zone, he naturally knew of the best academy in the universe.

The students in that academy were either top geniuses or people with powerful backgrounds. Who would dare to mess with them?

Seeing that the man was stiff as a block, Su Ping nudged him with his elbow. “What’s the matter?”

The middle-aged man snapped out of his stupor and changed his expression. Although Su Ping also had a respectful identity, the senior would not dare kill that young man just because of an oral argument.

It would have been fine to take action to kill that young man if he were some Mr. Nobody.

“Well, young master, since he’s from the Divine Dome Academy, why not be the bigger man here? We can have him apologize, or compensate in other ways. If we kill him, then I’m afraid…” The middle-aged man hesitated. He would have no choice but to carry out the order if Su Ping insisted.

After all, it was Lord Supreme’s territory, and his disciple couldn’t be insulted by an outsider!

Lord Supreme’s reputation would be tarnished if the news were to spread!

Out of the senior’s expectation, Su Ping readily agreed with his proposal. “That works too.

“Just have him say aloud that he’s a bumpkin for a thousand times. Then I’ll forgive him,” said Su Ping straight off.

“That’s acceptable.” The golden-armored senior immediately nodded and agreed.

The young man snapped out his shock after hearing that. He almost vomited blood due to anger.

This bumpkin is Lord Supreme’s disciple?

He had indeed heard that—while most of Lord Supreme’s disciples were in the Ascendant State—some of the recently recruited disciples from the last thousand years were still Star Lords.

No wonder the guy was bold enough to blow up his beloved car, and remained unfazed by the patrolmen.

The young man felt utterly frustrated since he had pissed off a local boss. He wondered why this particular disciple of Lord Supreme didn’t look the part. In fact, the man looked like a bumpkin who had never been to a city. Is he OK in the head?

“There’s no way that I, Bu Wanli, will ever apologize!” The young man gnashed his teeth. “I admit I insulted you first. However, you destroyed my car, almost hurt me and my junior sisters. We’re even!”

“See? He refuses to apologize,” Su Ping complained to the senior patrolman.

The latter was lost for words. He gritted his teeth and stepped up, before he roared, “This is the Celestial Court, not the Divine Dome Academy! You insulted our young master and refused to apologize. I have the right to arrest you!”

“Don’t you dare!”

The young man glared at him, but didn’t try to vent his fury on a mere guard. He then said to Su Ping, “Let’s just take one step back, the both of us. I won’t ask you to compensate for my car, and you shouldn’t make me apologize. See you later!”

Seeing that it was impossible to count on the middle-aged man, Su Ping stopped wasting his time. He immediately ordered, “Little Skeleton, Inferno Dragon, take him down!”

The black-haired boy who stood next to Su Ping instantly stepped up.

The innocent-looking young man dropped his innocent smile; his aura seemed to have changed completely. He turned from childish and naive to cold and intimidating. There was no one who would even dare look him in the eye..
