Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 488

Chapter 488 The Average Are not Entitled to Meet My Pets!

Everyone was too stunned to speak… Venerable the Blade and the others gazed at him in horrified disbelief. It was against everyone’s expectations that Su Ping would jump onto the stage and say those crazy words! He was challenging everyone in the stadium! Of course, many were there for the championship but no one would be so wild as to shout it out in public. After all, there could be other old, senior battle pet warriors who had been long retired from the society. No one could have the absolute confidence to win against everyone present! The final match would be one with a great bloodshed! The beast king pet and the legendary skill would not be obtained easily. Either one of the two items would make a group of people contend, with their heads cracked and bleeding!

But, at this moment, Su Ping was standing above the stage, claiming that he was going to be the champion!

How arrogant and how eager he was to take the road to ruin!

After a short moment of silence, the judge came back to his senses. Angrily, he said, “Sir, this is the Supremacy League. I understand that you want to win first place but we have our rules and I believe you’re also a man of high status. What is your number? Our staff members will call you when it is your turn.” Su Ping turned around. He gave a sharp look at the judge. “I know that this is the Supremacy League!” Su Ping said solemnly, “And I do know that you have your rules. But at the end of the day, the rule is that you’re going to pick out a champion in a fair way!”

Su Ping glanced at the crowd and cast a final look at the place where the titled battle pet warriors were gathered. “I am going to get first place! As for second place, third, and so on and so forth, you do whatever you want to do. I’m in a hurry. I will leave as soon as I win the championship!”

Wild!

All the people at the stadium had lost the ability to talk.

Leaving as soon as he wins the championship?

In a hurry?

Who the heck do you think you are? So many VIPs are sitting here, waiting and you say you’re in a hurry?! The judge’s face became clouded. “Bro, you’re making trouble here. I will escort you off the stage if you don’t go off right this second!” The judge unleashed his astral powers. He was at the peak of the titled rank! He was a member of the Free Trade Organization, the sponsor of the League and the provider of the venue. Given his status as a member, this man was representing them as the judge. Su Ping pulled a long face. He looked into the judge’s eyes. “I have said my piece. I am taking the championship today. I don’t care if a legendary battle pet warrior is here!” “I will be your first challenger!” “Oh, I’ll deal with you, sure.” The judge flew into a rage. He unleashed more astral powers. It was as if there were a huge mountain growing out from behind him. He was going to overwhelm Su Ping. Su Ping was about to make a move when someone near the stage shouted, “We don’t need Senior Yan to deal with this punk. I will teach you a lesson!”

Hardly had this man’s voice faded away-a man had landed on the stage. It was a tall and strong man. He stood on the stage, sturdy like an iron tower. Taller than Su Ping, he was able to look down on the latter. “Hey dude, I see that you’re also a titled battle pet warrior. Where are you from? Tell me your name and your title. I, the Ice King, will not beat up anyone that doesn’t have a title!” “You want to challenge me?” Su Ping squinted. “You are too weak for that!”

He then ignored the tall and strong guy whose face had changed color. Su Ping looked over the man’s shoulder and shouted toward the seating area where the titled battle pet warriors were gathered. “Is there anyone at the peak of the titled rank? Anyone below that position shall not come here and waste my time!”

How arrogant! Silence prevailed.

No one had ever seen anyone act so arrogantly!

Those who weren’t at the peak of the titled rank are not to step on the stage? That sentence had enraged every titled battle pet warrior who was not at the peak!

“Punk, you are courting death!!” The strong man titled Ice King was fuming at his mouth. He turned to the judge. “Senior Yan, please step back. I will deal with this punk!” “Yes, Senior Yan, let him!” “Where is this guy from? He doesn’t know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!”

“Ice King, spare him a breath so that I may punch him to death!”

Many titled battle pet warriors growled.

Those who weren’t at the peak of the titled rank were not qualified to come up to the stage?

Had this guy never heard about people fighting others above their own ranks?

Many of the titled battle pet warriors, although not at the peak, had the strength of that position! Su Ping had belittled all of them!

That was outrageous!

Su Ping had made the public angry. The judge darted a cold glare at Su Ping. He would save other participants when they were about to lose. But Su Ping, hmm, he swore that he wouldn’t bat an eye, even if Su Ping was dying right under his nose!

They were at the Aurora Base City!

That was a place under the control of the Free Trade Organization!

No one cared where Su Ping was from. Anyone who wanted to make trouble there would be courting death! “Sure!”

The judge nodded. “You both know the rules, right? No one can beat the other to death on purpose!” With that said, he said to the working staff, “Activate the seal!” The Ice King grinned hideously and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t do that on purpose!” I wouldn’t do it on purpose… but I’ll kill this punk! This punk humiliated me in public. No one shall disgrace a titled battle pet warrior!

“There’s no need to activate the seal. I… Said… Don’t waste my time!!” Su Ping also flew into a rage. As he stared at the ferocious face of the Ice King, Su Ping mobilized astral powers to his hand!

The Chaotic Star Chart spun! The cores in his cells were spinning rapidly. Astral powers surged out! After the Heaven’s Test, his astral powers were lightweight but powerful!

Star Prism!

Bang!

Su Ping stepped forward. That stomp stirred up the dust. Next, Su Ping propelled himself forward!

The stage trembled. He moved about with lightning speed, bolts of lightning surrounding his feet!

In an instant, Su Ping reached the Ice King. The Ice King could not believe it! It was happening too fast! Su Ping was so fast that his eyes and his consciousness had not been able to catch up to his speed!

As Su Ping reappeared, all the Ice King could see was a pair of eyes that were like those of a wolf!

Astral shield!!

Death was coming. His instinct pulled the Ice King from a daze that lasted for less than 0.1 seconds. Astral powers surged within him as many astral shields appeared. At the same time, he began to use one of the ice skills he had learned.

Cold air burst out from him. The temperature was dropping drastically! The air froze. There was an ice wall with many harsh spikes! “F**k off!!” Su Ping bellowed.

He punched. Bang!! The ice wall cracked and the many astral shields behind the ice wall fell into pieces. One had to admit that the dancing pieces in the air were quite stunning.

Ice King was unable to see what had happened. His back was hunched as he flew backward toward the place where the titled battle pet warriors were seated.

Whoosh!

Two titled battle pet warriors flew over to catch the Ice King

However, the huge impact smashed away the two as well. They fell in the seating section. Several seats were broken as they landed, ending up in an embarrassing position. The two who went up to help were at the upper position of the titled rank. They hurried to stand and tried to help Ice King to his feet. The rest who had not made a move to catch Ice King could not imagine how strong the impact was!

The two darted a look at Ice King, only to see that he was out like a light!

One punch astounded everyone! The Ice King was punched off from the stage?! Ice King was not at the peak of the titled rank, but he was at the intermediate position and his unique skills had made him famous. However, Su Ping had defeated him within one instant! Many people decided that they had to take Su Ping seriously. The judge called Senior Yan was standing in a daze. It never occurred to him that Su Ping would win!

“Anyone else?” Su Ping put down his hand. “I’m in a hurry. Come on and make it quick!” Su Ping’s voice was the only sound that echoed in the stadium.

Insane!

Insane!

The battle pet warriors who were there just to watch the competitions were stunned speechless.

One punch to defeat a titled battle pet warrior. Where was that guy from? After a short moment of silence, Su Ping heard a cold voice coming from downstage, “Don’t be so ridiculous. Try me!”

A man who was a little bit over thirty flew to the stage. He was carrying a special spear with a thick handle that had a dragon image engraving. “It’s Venerable the Spear!”

“He’s here.”

Many people recognized that man. In the entire Subcontinent District, there was only this one spear and its master was Venerable the Spear who was at the upper position of the titled rank!

Once, with one move, he slew a beast at the peak of the ninth-rank. He made a name after that!

That was how he got his title!

Su Ping looked at the man. A glint of coldness flashed past his eyes. “I said, only those at the peak of the titled rank are entitled to come up here!”

Whoosh!

Bolts of lightning were circulating his feet. He stepped forward in the air as if he were standing on solid ground. People could even see the air caving in!

With a bang, the stage shook, and a deep footprint appeared. In the meantime, Su Ping had approached Venerable the Spear!

Venerable the Spear didn’t expect that Su Ping would resort to action so quickly. Of course, Venerable the Spear would not pull his punches; he drew his spear, and opened up three swirls behind him!

Roar!

Roar!!

Two angry bellows dashed out from two of those swirls. The two were quite violent pets. One was a dragon at the ninth-rank, a Flame Armor Dragon! The other one was a demon pet that looked like a huge octopus with countless black tentacles.

The two pets struggled out from the swirls, making threatening cries.

The third pet, on the other hand, was a dainty thing with its body almost transparent; there was a puff of wind surrounding it. As soon as it came out, the pet cast a ring on Venerable the Spear. As this happened, the other two pets were transferring their energy to Venerable the Spear. Everything happened within the blink of an eye. The more powerful the battle pet warrior was, the quicker the summoning would be. The well-trained pets would be ready to unleash their skills the moment they came out from the swirl.

Phew!

Venerable the Spear’s dark hair danced. In an instant, his strength had increased to the peak of the titled rank!

A beam of light burst out from his spear. He eyed Su Ping sharply. Su Ping had already reached him by then. He ignored the spear and looked right into Venerable the Spear’s eyes. “Piss off!!”

He hurled his fist once more!

“Courting death!!” Venerable the Spear was full of wrath. He had never been so angry before. Even titled battle pet warriors at the peak would treat him nicely, at the very least in public occasions.

The spear trembled. He became one with the spear. The beam of light from the spear spun as it approached Su Ping! Many titled battle pet warriors who were near the stage turned pale from fright. “That is Dragon Slayer!”

“Venerable the Spear is aiming to take his life!”

Many people had recognized that Venerable the Spear was using the skill that had once earned him the title, the skill with which he had killed a dragon at the peak of the ninth-rank!

People were unaware of the actual name of the skill but they had come up with a name themselves. It never occurred to anyone that they would witness the usage of that skill right then and there, on that stage! Senior Yan was turning pale as well. Out of instinct, he wanted to stop that move, but he hesitated and stopped before he took any action.

Su Ping threw a punch simultaneously!

“Fist of Exorcist!”

Killing intent spread out from Su Ping’s eyes.

He could feel that his opponent was aiming to kill him. Su Ping’s original idea was to knock this opponent out, but at this moment, he had lost his temper! Come on!

Bang!! The fist and the spear clashed. A loud noise was heard, caused by the collision of their astral powers! The next thing that people saw was Venerable the Spear flying backward. The integration of Venerable the Spear and his weapon had been broken. He was flying toward the seats at a speed faster than when he flew to the stage!

Only this time, no one went to help him. With a bang and a tremor, Venerable the Spear landed on the ground. Fortunately, he landed on a place with empty seats. The seats were smashed into a mess, scattering around a pit that had just appeared. Inside the pit was Venerable the Spear; the spear fell next to him.

People took a closer look at the spear, which appalled them. The spearhead was broken!!

The handle was bent!

The spear was Venerable the Spear’s life. Many people understood that he had spent a lot of money and invested a large number of rare materials to have the spear cast. One could imagine how strong it was since it could pierce through a dragon at the peak of the ninth-rank!

But the spearhead had been broken that day!

As for Venerable the Spear, many titled battle pet warriors could tell that while he was still alive, he was barely breathing!

Horrifying!

In a fit of terror, people turned around and looked at the young man standing in the air above the stage. The young man was still arrogant and people realized he had a right to be that way!

Whoosh!

Su Ping slowly landed on the stage. “The average titled battle pet warriors are not entitled to see my pets just yet. I said, those who are not at the peak shall not come up here and waste my time!”

His voice was heard by everyone, echoing in the stadium.

Many people had just noticed that Su Ping had yet to summon his pets! He relied on his physical strength, instantly defeating Venerable the Spear! Terrifying! Some at the peak of the titled rank had already noticed it. The moment Venerable the Spear was defeated, they began to take Su Ping more seriously. On the stage, Senior Yan was frozen on the spot. He looked awful. He thought he should say something but could not ascertain what to say. It was too late to stop Su Ping. Before the two fights, he could have gotten Su Ping off the stage, accusing him of disturbing the match. However, Su Ping had made it clear that his strength was indeed at the peak of the titled rank.

The highest rank and position below the legendary rank! Those at the peak of the titled rank were the ones likely to win the championship. There were differences between those battle pet warriors, of course. They would have to excel in their usage of skills, pets, treasures, and experience. The judge could no longer find a reason to get rid of Su Ping.

After a short moment of silence, people broke into commotion. Some people in the audience would point at the stage and whisper to each other.

Anyone would welcome good drama. Many in the audience turned to the titled battle pet warriors, wondering if anyone would challenge the young man again.

As for the rules? The most important rule was to fight for first place. Since someone was defending the ring at the moment, it was a saving time tactic. He would become the champion unless someone was able to defeat him! Next to the stage, the titled battle pet warriors looked at each other speechlessly. Those who had just reached the titled rank or even those at the upper position were too afraid to stand up. They were angry at Su Ping but they knew that they were too weak to confront him. Venerable the Spear was powerful enough. Other titled battle pet warriors could defeat Venerable the Spear but no one would have done that so effortlessly! The most intimidating thing was that Su Ping never summoned his battle pets! He didn’t borrow his pets’ energy! That was the most threatening thing about Su

Ping.

The new titled battle pet warriors turned to those at the peak of the titled rank.

Only those people could fight the lunatic on the stage.

The Tang family. Tang Mingqing as well as the other Tang family elders were staring blankly at the stage. It was against anyone’s expectation that the competition would turn out like this. Su Ping had engaged in wild talk. Furthermore, for two times in a row, he had marveled everyone present. “He… is crazy…” Tang Mingqing produced a forced smile.

He had witnessed how insane Su Ping was in the store. In this world, Su Ping had to be the only one who would dare to provoke the Tang family and the Star Organization at the same time. The other elders were scared. They had heard from Tang Mingqing how frightening Su Ping was. It turned out that the young man was not only powerful but also mentally unstable.

He who went up to the stage to challenge everyone was not arrogant, but deranged! Sitting between them was Tang Ruyu. She stared at the young man who was looking down on everyone. For the first time, there was a glint of surprise in her eyes, that were always void of all feelings.
