Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 1052
Chapter 1052: One Swing of the Sword
“Senior brothers and sister, please forgive me.”
Su Ping cupped his hands at his five senior brothers and sister.
As for Diaz, he purposefully avoided looking at him.
Diaz was so infuriated by Su Ping’s attitude he almost wanted to tackle and beat the latter hard. However, he also knew he would most likely be the one getting beat up in a one-on-one duel.
The other five disciples didn’t say anything else, seeing Su Ping acting that boldly. They would merely be carrying out their master’s orders, even though it seemed unfair.
“Just get ready.”
Shen Huang raised his hand and waved it, causing an opening in space. The opening was quickly extended, as if multiple layers had been broken. It went straight into a deeper space.
Then, a small world appeared in the cracked void, which turned out to be a vast, ancient arena. There were huge swamps and forests, as well as chaotic energy that could be absorbed.
Two of the five disciples flew in first; the other three glanced at Su Ping and followed the others.
“Humph, just wait for my beating!” Diaz glared at Su Ping and also flashed into the world. He had already come up with a plan, capitalizing on the opportunity to give Su Ping a few punches.
Su Ping didn’t wait too long; he also stepped into the world.
“You’re not allowed to use your pets in this battle,” said Shen Huang. He planned to measure his disciples’ personal combat ability. Although pets were also part of a battle pet warrior’s strength, they couldn’t be used under special circumstances.
The small arena was closed after Su Ping stepped in.
Creating a world by simply raising his head… Is this what Celestial experts are capable of?
Su Ping stepped into the arena and examined the auras given by the systematic laws around him; he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The place was obviously too small to be his master’s small world; the latter had simply established a world with a mere thought!
“Junior brother, let’s fight first,” said the young seventh spot holder on the Divine Lord Rank who had challenged Su Ping earlier.
“Senior brother, after you.”
Su Ping didn’t say anything else, because speaking more would only make him sound more arrogant—might as well convince everyone with strength alone.
Diaz and the others didn’t move; they obviously trusted the young man’s combat ability. After all, he couldn’t have risen to the Divine Lord Rank’s seventh place with his tongue.
Bang!
The young man suddenly took out a spear, then dashed towards Su Ping like a dragon.
“Good movement technique!”
The man was tall and sharp, and yet unpredictable. He approached Su Ping at a high speed, crossing a long distance with every step!
He approached Su Ping in the mere blink of an eye. An oval illusion reflecting his small world appeared in front of the spear, and an overwhelming rush of faith power surged out, adding a dazzling brilliance to the spear.
“Freeze!”
Su Ping raised his hand, activating the path of time and space. Everything around him quickly slowed down until it was frozen. Even the dust that had been raised was solidified in midair too.
However, the young man was completely unaffected by the freezing wave. Rather, he suddenly accelerated, while a gray and black tornado was unleashed from his spear!
“Law of destruction. Not bad.”
There was admiration in Su Ping’s eyes; the guy’s law of destruction had been perfected, and it was being used to break the space-time confinement. He could barely be restricted by any laws in the world!
That was how powerful the law of destruction was!
However, Su Ping could do that too.
The space and time that had been destroyed were being regenerated and spread toward the young man again!
“Double covering!” Su Ping whispered.
Above the law of time and space—which was being regenerated with the law of vitality—another law of time and space was performed. The young man was then immediately slowed down and almost frozen.
The latter roared when he almost stopped moving, and the scorching sun at the tip of his spear burst out. The reflection of his small world exploded; the horrifying destruction law tore apart the dual spaces. Then, he quickly stabbed at Su Ping, like a bloody shark that had just crawled out of furious tides.
Su Ping raised his hand and knocked the unstoppable spear away with the speed of a phantom.
The young man moved dozens of meters back with the counterforce and breathed heavily, before he looked back at Su Ping in shock. That was a close one. He was almost frozen by Su Ping’s law of time and space. Su Ping could have instantly killed him if he was indeed frozen!
The young man gazed at Su Ping and spoke solemnly. “Your law of vitality has already been perfected!”
Their master had taught them the basics of said law. However, they would still need talent and opportunities in order to gain a deeper understanding.
He had been focusing on the law of destruction, and therefore his grasp on the vitality lawwas not complete yet. However, Su Ping had fully mastered both laws!
A single competition round had already made obvious which of the two was stronger. The young man had a grim visage. He had been a disciple for more than two thousand years, and yet his new junior brother had already surpassed him?
Most importantly, Su Ping was merely a Star State warrior!
“This guy…”
At the rear—Diaz changed his expression too when he saw the scene unfold; the guy had become even more unbelievable. Even his senior brother, the seventh place holder of the Divine Lord Rank, had been pushed back by one attack. He couldn’t have beaten the guy either.
The other four disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, not expecting Su Ping’s performance to be that shocking. No wonder he dared to look down at them.
At this moment, Shen Huang’s voice echoed. “You’d better attack together.” He was obviously smiling.
The grand senior seemed to have realized something, and didn’t want the others to duel with him, which would have been pointless.
The disciples’ faces changed upon hearing their master’s order, and they stopped hesitating. Having no time to consider shame, all of them unleashed their strength and charged at Su Ping.
“Brat, I have to punch your face!”
Diaz followed him closely. He concentrated his strength on his right fist, determined to bash Su Ping’s arrogant face and let him have a taste of his strength.
The reflections of their small worlds were also manifested as they attacked. A huge pressure enshrouded Su Ping in an instant; he would have fallen on his knees and begged for mercy if he were a normal Star Lord.
Su Ping no longer held back upon seeing the joint attack. The reflection of his small world slowly appeared; a gray and desolate halo appeared behind his head with such an intimidating aura that it resisted all the pressure.
The aura’s power increased as the halo revolved. An exuberant power surged out of the halo, which was like a furnace in Su Ping’s body; he became much more intimidating, seemingly turning into a giant.
“Break!”
Su Ping stepped up, with light darting out of his eyes.
Although he was only making use of his first small world, he was able to burst out fifty percent of his strength with God’s Arrival. After a boom, Su Ping swung his sword and cut the void apart. The terrifying sword aura turned into a dark crescent moon. The senior brother leading the charge was greatly shocked by the aura; he quickly stopped pressing forward and started defending himself.
However, his expression changed again when he touched the sword aura, and quickly stepped back.
His sword aura pressed forward, forcing all the five disciples to stop.
He pushed all of them back with one attack!
Everyone was currently looking at Su Ping in shock and disbelief.
Diaz was equally overwhelmed with disbelief; he had already released the Reincarnation Divine Constitution, with ancient secret patterns surfacing on his skin, plus an unusual power wandering inside his body. He was also enhanced with supreme laws, including vitality and chaos. Although those laws had yet to be fully mastered, they enhanced him with their corresponding features.
Once his Reincarnation Divine Constitution was fully developed, he would naturally grasp the supreme laws, and combine them with the features of his divine constitution!
That was exactly why the top ten constitutions of the universe were horrifying. Even those in the Ascendant State craved for them but couldn’t get them!
Nevertheless, Diaz found it impossible to resist Su Ping’s attack, even though he was trying his best.
Intimidating!
His hands were numb because of the hit.
The aura of laws in the attack made him find it hard to believe. He had detected all of the four supreme laws; all of them had been fully mastered!
“A perfected small world…” whispered the young man who had been pushed back by Su Ping. He wore a troubled expression, feeling deeply frustrated.
He had always been considered an unparalleled genius. He reached the Ocean State when he was six years old, and arrived at the peak of the Fate State when he was nine. He had held back his realm for ten years to participate in the Universe Geniuses’ Contest, just to polish himself further!
He gave an outstanding performance in the Universe Geniuses’ Contest when he was nineteen, all thanks to his ten years of hard work and self-suppression. The entire universe learned his name!
He was the champion that year.
Then, Shen Huang admitted him as a disciple, and he had cultivated there ever since.
He stepped into the Star State when he was twenty. Then, he continued with studies of secret techniques and laws, until he naturally advanced into the Star Lord State with plenty of knowledge.
After that, he followed with faith power absorption from all over, analyzing laws on a deeper level, and getting a better grasp of laws.
He also pursued real and complete laws, as he wanted to create his own path based on laws, and then enter the Ascendant State.
He searched and studied for two thousand years. His improvement wasn’t as significant as before, but he had been making constant progress, never hitting the bottleneck.
He also felt that he had already found his direction to enter the Ascendant State. Maybe he would solve the puzzle in a thousand years.
However…
How long had it been since Su Ping finished the contest?
And yet, he had already gotten a full grasp of the four supreme laws, even though he was only in the Star State?
The young man suddenly felt that his two thousand years of hard work were like a joke. He was on the verge of collapsing.
The other disciples also wore conflicting expressions; none of them was weak, and they could tell how talented Su Ping was. No wonder he had the audacity to challenge all of them, and their master allowed it. He was truly strong.
They knew that only half of the Divine Lord Ranks’ top warriors in the twelve star zones had fully grasped the four supreme laws.
Therefore, Su Ping was strong enough to be ranked among the top ten warriors of the Divine Lord Rank of the entire universe!
The most horrifying fact was that Su Ping was still in the Star State at the moment!
He would be no different from Star Lords whose small worlds had been perfected when he entered the Star Lord realm.. Considering the talent he had shown, maybe he could grow to become the strongest Star Lord in the universe!
