Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 112
Chapter 112: End of the Lesson
A miniature fire tornado appeared in front of Su Ping, from which the small Inferno Dragon jumped out.
The creature had grown bigger, thanks to the energy absorbed in a nursing pen for a few days. Though it was still a baby by dragon normal standards. Its scales had hardened up quite a bit. At the moment, common swords and blades were no longer enough to harm it.
Its appearance once again silenced the onlooking students as they immediately recognized this popular yet rare Astral Pet.
As one of the best dragon-type pets, an Inferno Dragon was known to become at least ten times deadlier than a Silver-Winged Dragon upon reaching maturity. Rich families might be able to afford a Silver-Winged Dragon if they found someone selling one with enough luck, yet Inferno Dragons weren’t something that could be bought with money. There probably wasn’t another one in the entire Longjiang City.
Su Ping’s Inferno Dragon was clearly still a kid, although being a kid meant being even more valuable because it had unlimited potential. With enough training done, it would soon become the king of all ninth-rank Astral Pets.
It was a priceless treasure.
Compared to the students, the adults around the stage were more surprised by the fact that Su Ping possessed such an awesome pet. Telling from their experience, they knew Su Ping was going to become a titled battle pet warrior at this rate with the help of that dragon.
A titled battle pet warrior was an extremely rare privilege in this world. Su Ping basically booked a place!
Meanwhile, Su Lingyue just found another confusing question hitting her mind: where the heck did Su Ping find something so expensive?
Su Ping was already calling the Inferno Dragon back. He didn’t want all the students to get further distracted from the lecture. He had been hired as a teacher after all. As a citizen, it would be a lofty achievement to help the city develop several brilliant battle pet warriors.
The students were obviously disappointed by his action. Most of the time, they could only see such exquisite pets in books and TV shows.
“Let’s begin the lesson.” Su Ping tried maintaining a neutral tone. “Raise your hand before speaking in case you have something to ask about the lesson. Anyone who keeps getting distracted won’t be able to attend my future classes.”
The students immediately went silent. They would no longer disrespect Su Ping just because he seemed to be of a similar age. Owning an Inferno Dragon alone meant Su Ping was not someone they could hope to surpass in their entire lives.
With no more interruptions, Su Ping was going to follow his original schedule. First, he would teach everyone how to survive better in an area full of Undead creatures. The next part was about using Undead-type pets with more efficiency. As for the last part, which was how to better confront other battle pet warriors who used Undead-type pets, he would probably have to leave it for the next class.
“As I said, once you graduate, you’ll be sent to certain sections full of corpses of either men or beasts. These places are loved by Undead spirits. Not to mention that there are space ruptures full of Undead-types. Now, I’m going to show you several common threats you’ll run into.”
In great detail, Su Ping revealed all the experiences he learned when exploring the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. Still, he omitted those exceptionally deadly existences because these students probably weren’t going to see something of such caliber.
When he had to teach them pet skills used by Undead-type pets, he summoned Little Skeleton again to demonstrate and make the job easier. When the students watched Little Skeleton use Puppet, Darkness Blinding, Rotting Flesh and some other exclusive Undead moves, they were again astounded by Little Skeleton’s endowment.
At one point, Su Ping asked that skeptical student to join him and use a pet to show the effects of Little Skeleton’s skills.
The man had no choice but to comply while trying not to cry in public.
An hour elapsed soon enough, marking the end of the special lesson. While most students wondered where Su Ping learned all that valuable wisdom, they also felt glad that they did learn many interesting and useful topics about the Undead.
Without being asked, everyone stood up and applauded. Now they had enough reason to respect Su Ping from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Luo Guxue found the lesson to be extremely rewarding, even though the teacher was unbelievably younger than her.
“My word… He’s such a promising young man, isn’t he?” Dong Mingsong exclaimed backstage.
“Yeah.” Feng Yanjing nodded with an odd look. “I was nothing like him at that age…”
As all the students evacuated through the main entrance; Su Ping left with the vice principal through the back door, followed by Luo Guxue and Feng Yanjing.
There were a lot of students who failed to attend the lesson waiting outside, who quickly found someone among the retreating crowd to ask about what had happened just then.
As the champion of the school tournament, Ye Hao had been occupying a vacant spot all to himself outside the venue. When he saw the attendees coming out, he went ahead and directly dragged one of them out.
“A new teacher was giving a lesson in there, right? Who is he, and what did he show you?” Ye Hao’s voice sounded neutral but commanding.
The student he pulled away from the others was just the man who “helped” Su Ping demonstrate Little Skeleton’s skills on the stage. He lowered his head politely when he saw Ye Hao talking to him.
“Mister Ye, um, good to see you.”
“Answer me.”
Both embarrassed and a bit afraid, this student explained everything he saw.
“An Inferno Dragon?” Ye Hao’s pupil’s constricted upon hearing that name.
He had always thought that his Thunder Basilisk was the best among the best if all the students in the academy compared their pets. And yet… an Inferno Dragon was on a whole different level. If a Thunder Basilisk was to confront an Inferno Dragon when both of them reached adulthood, the former would just escape with its tail between its legs.
Ye Hao scowled and walked away.
Within hours, the names of an outstanding skeleton pet and an Inferno Dragon reached every corner of the academy.
