Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 745

Su Ping quickly flew into the base riding the Inferno Dragon.

There were rules in the base, but flying was not banned. Su Ping recalled the Inferno Dragon and let the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons stay flying up above.

After all, they were so enormous that they would fill up half of the base if all of them landed.

“Wait here. I’ll get the paperwork done,” instructed Su Ping.

The ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons stayed in the sky obediently.

Su Ping landed and went to the island’s departure office. He said, “I’d like to leave for the island.”

“Just you alone? Or have you caught any beasts?” The young female receptionist behind the counter glanced at Su Ping.

Su Ping replied, “I captured ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons. Do they have to take a separate flight?”

“?”

The receptionist was obviously stunned. After confirming that he wasn’t joking, she asked with widened eyes, “Ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons? A-Are you serious?”

“Do I seem to be kidding?” snapped Su Ping angrily.

The receptionist quickly changed her expression and said with a smile, “Sir, what are the levels of the ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons you caught? If they’re below the Ocean State, the shipment cost will be ten million each. If they’re in the Ocean State or above, the cost will be fifty million.”

“Above,” said Su Ping briefly, while he secretly complained in his heart.

I have to pay five hundred million to leave the island? Fifty million each?

If he weren’t only talking to a minor receptionist who wouldn’t dare to fool him… he would have suspected that he was being ripped off!

The receptionist was clearly shocked. Ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons above the Ocean State? The local dragon hunters had hardly made such great achievements!

“In-In that case, you only need to pay a hundred billion to head to the island.” The receptionist became respectful and spoke with alluring eyes.

Any man able to hunt ten Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons was too powerful for a receptionist such as her, even though she was from the Ryan family.

“Sure.”

Su Ping transferred the money quickly, not wanting to waste any more of his time.

He followed the receptionist’s instructions and completed the procedure to leave the island .

“Take this piece of paper and the beasts you’ve caught to the departure square over there. Someone will be with you shortly to help with the boarding,” said the receptionist with a charming smile.

Su Ping nodded.

Su Ping returned to the place where the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons were, carrying the certificate imprinted with the Ryan family emblem.

He found that there were a lot of dragon hunters in the sky when he returned.

“All of them were hunted. There’s no contract aura in them!”

“They’re all wild!”

The dragon hunters observed the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons with obvious greed in their eyes.

Every Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon could be sold for at least a billion. Those at the Void State could even be sold for three and even four billion.

The Fate State dragons were worth ten or twenty billion!

The battle pet warrior profession was a costly one. The pets, their training, and the top secret techniques were all expensive!

It was exactly because of the huge expenses that many people had been developing desolate planets as planet pioneers or hunting rare pets for money.

“We’ll take these two Fate State dragons.”

One of the squads suddenly stood out; it was a seven-member group. Their leader, a middle-aged man, emitted a powerful aura. He was obviously a Fate State warrior.

Three vortices surfaced above his head; the aura of Fate State pets was spread out.

Ocean State beasts and above were hardly able to defeat battle pet warriors of the same level!

This was because battle pet warriors were able to merge with their pets, thereby doubling their combat abilities, and would also have the help of other pets. A Fate State battle pet warrior could have five Fate State battle pets!

Those from the major families would even have pets on par with their level, and they purchased equipment for all the pets to increase their combat ability!

All of this, together with their secret techniques, made them much stronger than the beasts that fought on their own!

The other people who saw the Fate State middle-aged man noticed who he was and their expressions changed.

“Carlson, they have an owner,” said an old man, who was the captain of the Golden Flag Dragon Hunters that had just returned.

The middle-aged Carlson chuckled and said, “Are you blind? These Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons have no contracts nor chains. They’re ownerless. They can be claimed by whoever subdues them!”

The others who heard this also had glowing eyes.

Even though they were slightly awed by Su Ping who had tamed ten dragons, he was working on his own anyway. So, they could compete for the dragons’ ownership. It might be a dangerous thing to do, but it was still much safer than searching for the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons in the woods.

At this moment, an indifferent voice said, “Is that so? Who wants to claim the pets that I’ve caught?”

Everybody was slightly alarmed. They turned their heads, only to see that a black-haired young man holding departure papers was approaching with a cold face.

The owner is here!

Everyone observed Su Ping cautiously.

The middle-aged man knew that a conflict with Su Ping was inevitable. He fearlessly chuckled while he looked at Su Ping. “Brother, it was quite skillful of you, catching this many Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons in one go; this makes me think that it was an easy thing for you. Still it would be inconvenient for you to leave with all of them. Why don’t you give me two of them?”

Su Ping almost felt like laughing after hearing such a proposal.

“Indeed, it wasn’t hard for me to catch them, but…” Su Ping sneered and looked at him. “Who do you think you are? Why should I give anything to you?”

Carlson became gloomy. He replied, “Brother, you don’t look very familiar to me. It’s better to make friends instead of foes when you’re not on your home turf.”

“Do you think a piece of garbage deserves to be my friend?” Su Ping moved closer and declared, “Get the hell out of here before I do anything to you!”

“You’re asking to be killed!”

Carlson was quite grim and angry. He was a Fate State warrior, yet Su Ping showed no respect for him at all.

Boom!

He was about to merge with his pet—

He had noticed that Su Ping wasn’t easy to deal with. At least, he couldn’t tell his true level.

As for the Ocean State he had perceived… It was definitely a disguise!

Roar!!

There was a behemoth right behind him, covered in black fog as it crawled out of the vortex; it reeked of blood and rotten fish.

It then roared and moved towards Carlson’s body, ready to merge with him.

“You think you’re strong enough to fight me? Die!”

Su Ping coldly pointed his finger.

Divine light surrounded his fingertip. A stream of highly compressed sword aura burst out in the blink of an eye, darting out of the secondary space with unstoppable momentum!

“Space Confinement!”

“Purple Glorious Secret…”

Carlson’s pupils were contracted when he noticed the sword aura shot by Su Ping. His abundant battle experience gave him a bad feeling.

He quickly froze the surrounding space to weaken the sword aura, while he performed his own battle technique as a countermeasure.

However, while he was still preparing his secret technique, the space he had frozen to slow down Su Ping’s attack was torn apart as if made of paper.

The sword aura made contact and Carlson’s head exploded, blood splashing everywhere.

The behemoth that was about to enter his body as a fog returned to its original form, as the fusion had been disrupted!

It was impossible for the fusion to proceed since its master was already dead. The contract between them had also been annulled!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Only one second had passed from the moment when Su Ping pointed at Carlson and when the latter’s head exploded.

Everybody was shocked to hear the sound of the explosion. They looked at the source, only to find that Carlson’s head was gone. They were too astounded for words.

An instant kill!

Carlson, a mid Fate State warrior, had been killed by Su Ping with a finger attack!

“That—That was the power of laws…” The old man among the Golden Flag Dragon Hunters narrowed his eyes in shock. Even though Su Ping’s sword aura was gone, the power of laws still lingered in the air. Only Fate State warriors could have perceived that!

“The power of laws… Could he be…?”

The other dragon hunters also looked at Su Ping, both awed and fearful.

To kill a Fate State warrior with the power of laws before he could merge with his pet was probably something that only the Star State experts were capable of!

Suddenly, the old man among the Golden Flag Dragon Hunters fell to his knees.

“It’s an honor to meet you, senior! Apologies for the offense!”

Even though they didn’t do anything, the very fact that they were in the vicinity was an indication of their malicious purposes.

Hilariously enough, they had been planning to rob a Star State expert who could’ve easily razed the entire base to the ground!

Even the Ryan family, the rulers of the planet, would have to courteously welcome Star State experts whenever they paid a visit!

After all, it was always better to have a friend than a foe.

After hearing the old man, the other Fate State warriors began to sweat profusely. All of them followed suit, immediately kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

Once the Fate State hunters knelt, their teammates standing behind them came back to their senses and paled as they quickly imitated the gesture.

It was horrifying; Carlson had been killed with one finger! That was beyond their imagination!

Everybody was regretting their stupidity. How could someone able to catch ten powerful Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons be ordinary?

Still, they didn’t see it coming; the man was a Star State bigshot who mastered the power of laws!

These kinds of people were normally lords ruling over planets!

Everybody was on their knees, while Su Ping was the only one standing, making him look even more magnificent. He coldly glanced at the other battle pet warriors, choosing not to say a word. Then, he spoke to the Fate State Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon telepathically, “Come with me.”

The ten dragons were just as shocked after seeing Su Ping’s attack, becoming further discouraged from resisting. All of them flew obediently after him.

When Su Ping was walking away, the explorers who were kneeling in his path slid to the sides while still on their knees, not daring to block him.

Once Su Ping had taken the dragons to the departure square with his hands on his back… all the people present finally felt that their bodies were no longer as numb as before. Their backs were covered in cold sweat.

“No wonder he didn’t use contracts or chains…”

“He doesn’t need any chains. I wouldn’t have resisted either if I were one of the dragons…”

“So horrifying! Is that what the Star State experts are capable of? Killing a Fate State warrior was no different from killing an ant for him…”

Everybody stole looks toward the way Su Ping took to leave, still soaked in cold sweat. Then, they quickly dispersed, not daring to stay too long.
