Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 442
Chapter 442 Awe-inspiring
The person who was frozen on the spot was Lin Feng. Together with Yue Yingying and his other friends, he was waiting in line to get their tests.
The guard was treating that young man nicely. Lin Feng and his friends immediately recognized that it was the same young man who was creating trouble earlier, later entering the premises with a master trainer.
Is he holding… a master trainer medal?
Lin Feng and his friends were all struck dumb with astonishment. Is that guy truly a master trainer?
Yue Yingying stood aghast. That guy was of her age; she was still struggling to pass the test for the sixth rank when that guy had already become a master trainer!
While they were still processing their shock, Su Ping had noticed the sensation stirred up by the guard’s words. With a frown, Su Ping hurried away. He went to the path set ‘for authorized people only’ and entered the test center.
It was a long while after Su Ping left when Lin Feng and his friends came back to their senses. They looked at each other and then darted Lin Feng a glance.
Lin Feng was embarrassed and his cheeks were burning up. As they made their way to that place, he had been ranting non-stop about how that guy was doomed.
However, it turned out that the guy was able to enter, and he was holding a master trainer medal. The guard showed the guy into the building with respect.
Whether the master trainer medal belonged to the guy or not, it was inconsequential. The fact that the guy had remained safe and sound was enough proof that something was going on that Lin Feng was not aware of.
Lin Feng wouldn’t possibly be so crazy as to think that the master trainer had been fooled by the guy. After all, a master trainer was not an idiot that could be easily deceived by a kid.
“Oh, crud. That punk is not going to remember me, is he?” Lin Feng was on tenterhooks. He was not in the mood to respond to the cruel looks of his friends.
At the test center.
Su Ping walked through a long corridor.
To his left was a gate. At the entrance of that gate was a board with the words “First-rank Trainer” written on it. That was the location for tests of first-rank trainers.
To his right was the gate leading to the location for tests of second-rank trainers.
He went on. The left gate led to the third-rank’s test and to the right was the one for the fourth-rank.
The intervals between gates were long. Su Ping kept going. When he was about to arrive at the gate leading to the test location for the third rank, propelled by his curiosity, Su Ping shot a glance inside. It was a long and dim pathway. Su Ping went in. At the end of the path was a thick iron door by which stood a guard wearing silver soft armor. “Are you here for the test?” asked the guard.
“Nah. Just wandering around.” “Wandering around?”
The guard clearly didn’t buy that.
Su Ping didn’t pry anymore since the inside was guarded. He went back to where he came from.
He continued his walk down the corridor.
Su Ping noticed that there were more people gathered in the paths leading to the test locations of the fourth, fifth, and sixth ranks. Many people were standing in a line, which was particularly true for the test of the fifth rank. Dozens were waiting to get the test.
Su Ping went on. He was no longer seeing more gates. He turned the corner at the end of the corridor. Soon, he arrived at an open space.
Connected to the spacious lobby were several new paths.
Su Ping saw some ripples of astral powers on the walls of the paths, which was an indication of seals.
Su Ping looked around. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from one of the paths. It seemed that someone was performing a test.
Intrigued, Su Ping went over. At the end of the path was also a heavy metal door but there was no guard present. Su Ping went over and gently pushed the door. Without a lock, the door opened a crack.
Su Ping pushed the door wide open.
Roar!!
He heard a bellow that was like a tiger or a lion’s howl. But Su Ping recognized right away that the beast was a dragon!
Still, the dragon didn’t seem to be among the powerful ones.
Su Ping took a glance around. It was a spacious room, or, to be more exact, a plaza. a dragon was prostrated at the center of the room, which was seven to eight meters tall. It was the Carrion Dark Dragon!
It was a beast with an eighth-rank bloodline!
Although, technically, it did not belong to the pure-blood dragon family. The Carrion Dark Dragon was a result of combining dragons with demons. Carrion Dark Dragons were usually considered a subspecies of dragons as well as a demon.
Judging by the size and look of that Carrion Dark Dragon, Su Ping decided that this one was at around the seventh-rank and had just reached adulthood.
But, since the Carrion Dark Dragon had an eighth-rank bloodline and had some demonic bloodline mixed in, the Carrion Dark Dragon was incredibly cruel and brutal, even more so than the average dragons!
At the moment, standing in front of the Carrion Dark Dragon was a girl in a white dress. She was putting her hand on the forehead of the Carrion Dark Dragon. There was a blue glow coming off from her palm. It seemed like the color of astral powers but darker. The glow flickered and the hue around the glow changed. Su Ping believed the girl was trying to gain control of the Carrion Dark Dragon.
Sweat oozed out from the girl’s forehead. She was struggling “Come on!” another girl said. She was also very young-looking. The second girl was a brunette. The short hair gave her quite the clean and neat look. She was clenching her fists, wishing she could lend her strength to the girl wearing the white dress.
However, as the brunette uttered the words “come on,” the prostrating Carrion Dark Dragon was stimulated. The beast’s eyes reddened as it let out a sonorous roar. This was not just a shout of protest. The Carrion Dark Dragon was trying to overwhelm the girl in the white dress!
The dragon’s roar made the girl feel dizzy. She lost control of the Carrion Dark Dragon and was forced to the side.
The majestic Carrion Dark Dragon raised its head. It was still a dragon; to be forced to lie down was an insult!
“Oh crap!” the short-haired girl shouted in surprise. She hurried over to help the girl in the white dress.
“I’ve failed again.”
Thanks to the brunette, the girl in the white dress was unharmed, though she turned pale. Frustrated, she darted a glance at the enraged Carrion Dark Dragon.
Roar!
The Carrion Dark Dragon was still roaring angrily. The last bit of sanity remaining in its brain prevented the beast from going after the two girls. That was, because the Carrion Dark Dragon could still pick up an uncomfortable feeling from the two girls. Soon, the Carrion Dark Dragon found its prey and changed direction.
The two girls were not scared, although the Carrion Dark Dragon was getting away. They were about to stop the beast when they noticed that it was running toward the door. Before they knew it, the door had opened and a young man was standing there!
The two girls were scared by this turn of events.
The Carrion Dark Dragon was too fast!
They didn’t have enough time to stop it!
“Run!” the brunette shouted at Su Ping.
“Yes?”
Su Ping stared at the Carrion Dark Dragon that was dashing toward him. He pulled a long face once he realized the dragon was seized by rage. A gust of cold and violent energy burst out from him. He eyed the Carrion Dark Dragon as if it were nothing more than a puny insect. Indeed, to him, the Carrion Dark Dragon was nothing to be afraid of. Even if it were at the peak of the eighth rank, he could have smashed the beast to pieces!
Hiss!
The almost completely deranged Carrion Dark Dragon suddenly felt the surge of killing intent. The short human being was producing this weird feeling. Suddenly, the dragon seemed to be able to see many demons and devils flying over from the back of the human being
The demons and devils were very powerful and intimidating. That was a kind of strength that the Carrion Dark Dragon would never understand or imagine, one that could shatter the earth and heaven alike.
The next second, the Carrion Dark Dragon stopped in its tracks. The redness in its eyes receded as it stared at the short human being in fear.
The demon’s bloodline in the Carrion Dark Dragon told it that the young man was generating that fatal danger and the smell of death that the Carrion Dark Dragon was more than familiar with.
It could hardly imagine how many killings the young man would have had to go through to exhibit this smell of death. The Carrion Dark Dragon couldn’t stop shaking. Then, the poor beast slowly got down to its knees in front of the human being and put its huge head on the ground. The Carrion Dark Dragon wrapped its rotten wings around its head, shuddering in fear.
