Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 466

Chapter 466 Instant KO

Su Ping responded with a friendly smile.

The judge approached them and sent the two beasts into the ring, waiting for the result of the battle.

“The Ice Scythe didn’t evolve…”

“Right. Things are not looking good for him.”

“I don’t quite understand his training methods. I wonder what he did.”

Next to the stage, Hu Jiutong and Old Cao were disappointed to see that the Ice Scythe didn’t evolve. As far as they could tell, the result of that battle had already been determined.

The Ice Scythe was much too weak when compared to the Flaming Spirit Dragon. For starters, the Ice Scythe was born to be inferior to the Flaming Spirit Dragon. Apart from evolution, there was no other way they could think of to ensure that the Ice Scythe could win against the Flaming Spirit Dragon, unless Xu Yang would have remained idle during that half an hour.

But of course, he had indeed done something.

On the stage.

Having received Su Ping and Xu Yang’s agreement, the judge unleashed the two trained beasts, letting the fight begin.

Roar!

The shackles over the Flaming Spirit Dragon were removed and its violent nature was put into full play. The loud roar echoed in the entire stadium.

Even the audience was getting goosebumps after hearing that roar. Everyone was able to tell how cruel the dragon was, just from that roar.

The Flaming Spirit Dragon was ill-tempered!

The Ice Scythe was not immune to the dragon’s roar. It had come to a stop.

The audience heaved a sigh.

The Ice Scythe was at a disadvantage to begin with, and it had just lost a perfect chance to make the first attack. That made its winning all the more unlikely.

Whoosh!

After the roar, heavy fire burst out from the Flaming Spirit Dragon. The flames filled the ring and the temperature was rising sharply.

The high temperature was even more harmful to a beast of the water family. Even breathing in the hot air would burn the latter’s lungs. Whoosh!

Roaring Dragon Flame was unleashed. The flames formed a saber that was aimed at cutting at the Ice Scythe’s head.

The Ice Scythe was stopped by the dragon’s roar. The Ice Scythe recovered from the shock the second that the flame saber was going to land on its head.

Then

Whoosh!

The Ice Scythe disappeared on the spot!

“Huh?”

“What?!”

Hu Jiutong and everyone else had thought that they didn’t have to see the end of the battle to know the result. They all stood up in surprise after seeing the Ice Scythe disappear. When could the Ice Scythe move so quickly?! The Ice Scythe didn’t vanish. It just dashed away quickly enough and avoided the cut!

Only those at the eight-rank could have a good enough vision to see that movement. The others merely saw a blur!

Bang!

The Ice Scythe reached the Flaming Spirit Dragon within the blink of an eye. How fast!

Caught off guard, the Flaming Spirit Dragon was a bit frightened.

The Ice Scythe began to wield its sharp limbs. The two massive limbs that functioned as scythes reached the Flaming Spirit Dragon. Startled, the Flaming Spirit Dragon activated its flame armor to fend off the cut. Still, the very next second, everyone witnessed how the dragon was thrown into the seal!

Bang!!

The dragon was more than seven meters tall. The strong impact flung it off the ground and into the seal which was shaking.

Two streams of blood were spewing out of the dragon’s chest, as the dragon slowly slid from the seal to the ground. The dragon’s body twitched slightly, and the flames on its body quickly disappeared. The dragon was barely breathing.

Instant KO!

A hush fell in the huge stadium. Hu Jiutong and the other top trainers stood aghast. No one could believe what they had just witnessed.

Standing outside the seal, Xu Yang had a dull look on his face. It happened so fast that he didn’t have time to process it all. The Flaming Spirit Dragon had gained the upper hand. How could it have been defeated the next second?!

How?!

And what’s with the Ice Scythe’s speed?

Not even a seventh-rank beast of the wind family could have done that!

That was too fast!

Also, one had to take note of that outburst of strength. It was true that the Ice Scythe was born with enough strength but it could never compare with a dragon of the same rank.

However, just then, the Flaming Spirit Dragon had smashed into the seal due to the attack!

A perfect silence prevailed. The judge broke the ice after a moment passed. The Ice Scythe was about to land another strike. Hurriedly, the judge dashed into the seal and stopped the beast.

Phew!

The audience burst into loud shouts.

That was impressive! The Ice Scythe had not only won, it had won in quite a stunning way!

The Ice Scythe had been affected by the dragon’s roar and even so, with its overwhelming strength and speed, the Ice Scythe rose triumphantly!

Was that even an Ice Scythe?

Some people were even feeling an urge to have an Ice Scythe of their own. What they had just witnessed was proof that with the right way of training, an Ice Scythe could beat a dragon!

The pets of the demon family were not the only ones able to defeat dragons! “Thanks.”

Su Ping cupped his fists. He turned to Zhong Lingtong who had been completely stunned by the fight and asked, “Come here. Are you willing to take me as your teacher?”

Zhong Lingtong came back to her senses. She had a feeling that all the light in the world was covering Su Ping. How glamorous he looked.

Her heart was pounding. “Yes!” she said in a hurry.

Su Ping nodded. “Come with me.”

With that said, he stepped down from the stage.

At the front row.

The other top trainers were staring at Su Ping in a daze.

Not only had the Ice Scythe turned the situation around, but it had also crushed the dragon. Su Ping’s opponent was Xu Yang who was acknowledged as the King of Fire, a trainer who was most proficient in training beasts, especially dragons, of the fire family!

And Su Ping had won!

No one else thought that a similar feat could be achieved.

That is, unless they chose a beast of the family they were most familiar with.

“Brother Su, did you strengthen the beast’s limbs?” After Su Ping took a seat, Hu Jiutong could no longer hold back his curiosity.

“Sort of.”

Su Ping nodded.

“And speed?”

“Sure.”

“Anything else?” “Nah.”

No one could find other words to say in reply.

Improving the beast’s strength and speed was a basic skill, and yet, to be able to do what Su Ping had done within such a short time was unusual!

Besides, Su Ping had not used the thunder-related training method that, according to the Vice Chairman, could make a beast evolve. That was to say, Su Ping was holding back!

He…

The other top trainers looked at each other, full of complicated feelings. This top trainer who came from another base city is a freak…

Xu Yang had also returned to his seat, clearly frustrated. That was a minor battle but he had lost to Su Ping when he used his most proficient skill. That was disappointing.

Zhong Lingtong quietly stood behind Su Ping. She was even afraid to take a look around. She could tell that the top trainer that she chose was a little bit stronger than the other top trainers, which was much to her delight.

Of course, Muliu Tusu and Yu Yundan could ascertain the same thing. They could sense the difference between this new top trainer and the others.

“Brother Su, you are a man of mystery!”

“Impressive.”

“I heard that Brother Su is from Longjiang Base City. When time permits, I will visit the Longjiang Base City. I’m eager to find out more about the base city that Brother Su is from.”

After seeing that battle, the top trainers had officially accepted Su Ping as one of them.

Su Ping had won them over with his strength.

Su Ping replied to their encouraging words with a smile; he took the chance to introduce them to Zhong Lingtong as well.
