Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 691
Chapter 691 Contention
Fist of Exorcist! The second level!
Boom!!
A golden virtual fist appeared in front of him, shining in all radiance. Behind him, there was a faint illusion depicting a primitive and majestic figure, also raising an arm.
The hand overlapped with the golden virtual fist. It was as if the majestic creature were the one moving the fist!
Bang. It was like a nuclear bomb set off within the seal; everyone felt they had lost their hearing. After that moment of quietness, a loud noise resounded. The virtual golden fist swallowed the ray of sword light. The seal began to swell!
Ye Wuxiu, the lady and the old man who were sustaining the seal were transfixed. They unleashed more astral powers to strengthen the seal but their foreheads were sweating.
Bang. The seal cracked. Some of the energy seeped out from the seal, spreading a burst of heat.
The other legendary battle pet warriors were alerted; they hurried to set up shields to protect themselves.
However, the titled battle pet warriors no longer had enough time to react. They were terrified upon realizing this.
Right when they were going to fall victim to that surge of energy… The energy suddenly vanished. That was a scene beyond everyone’s understanding
Once the blast of energy vanished, the onlookers were able to see what was happening inside the seal. They saw that the middle-aged man’s armor was cracked. His arm was trembling and veins were popping out.
On the other hand, Su Ping was standing on the staircase, smiling quietly, as if nothing had happened.
The contest was over!
Just one look was enough to tell who was the winner.
The legendary battle pet warriors felt their hearts were racing. Even they had felt that the violent energy could have swallowed them.
The middle-aged man in the black armor was a captain appointed to the Flame Field in the Deep Caves, and he was one step away from reaching the Fate State. He used his best skill but he lost. It was beyond comprehension!
“That was a terrifying punch!”
“I felt as if some ancient creature was throwing that punch!” “That is unbelievable. That strength is close… to the Fate State!”
The legendary battle pet warriors discussed, still stunned. Never had they imagined there would be such a man above ground!
As far as they could tell, a person like that would only be second to the Tower Master!
While mingling in the crowd, Li Yuanfeng was also staring at Su Ping with open astonishment. He knew that his younger brother was powerful, but he only believed that Su Ping’s strength came from his strange and powerful battle pets, especially the white skeleton. Only then did he learn that Su Ping himself was just as intimidating!
Li Yuanfeng flashed a brilliant smile after the initial moment of surprise. It was a great thing that Su Ping was so powerful!
It was proof that he had made the right friend and he had gone to the right place!
“That guy…”
The lady who was sustaining the seal waved her hand. She felt she had consumed a large amount of astral powers. She gazed at Su Ping with a grave look. She, too, was a captain and she wasn’t any weaker than that middle-aged man in black armor. Three legendary battle pet warriors were keeping that seal together and the seal cracked. The energy that caused such an impact had to be above the Void State!
The old man sized up Su Ping solemnly.
In the meantime, the titled battle pet warriors were still frozen on the spot. They had never seen legendary battle pet warriors fighting but they all felt death was at hand the moment the energy escaped the seal.
A legendary battle pet warrior!
That escaped energy was enough to kill us all!
This store… is run by such a legendary battle pet warrior!
The four who had bought pet food from Su Ping were ghastly pale and weak in the knees. If it weren’t for the fact that the years of experience had helped them control certain muscles, they would have wet their pants.
They could not believe they had been arguing with a legendary battle pet warrior moments before… Alas, staying alive was such a happy thing!
Amid everyone’s gazes, Su Ping said smilingly, “Thanks.”
The middle-aged man in the black armor slowly sheathed his sword. He exhaled and said, “Thank you. Brother Li was right… Brother Su, you are better than me. No wonder you were able to get out of the Deep Caves twice…”
He was convinced.
One bout and he knew how terrifying Su Ping was.
He felt it stronger than anyone else present. Just then, when the virtual golden fist was in front of his face, he felt as if all of his belongings were gone; the only thing left in the entire universe was him and the fist. When compared to that fist, he was like an ant that could be crushed.
He knew that Su Ping had not exerted his full strength.
Su Ping smiled. He didn’t try to fake any modesty. They had to face a grave crisis; playing humble was pointless at the moment.
“I am Xiang Fengran and they call me Black Lunatic. Brother Su, we’ll be fighting alongside each other if you’re okay with it,” said the armored middle-aged man, being unrestrained and frank. He had his concerns so he had to test Su Ping.
All his worries were dispelled after that test. He was fully convinced.
Su Ping was qualified to join them.
Of course, he wouldn’t have paid any attention to him if Su Ping wasn’t up to par.
After Xiang Fengran’s remark, the lady smiled and said, “My name’s Xue Yunzhen. As for my title, I’ve long forgotten. If you want, you can call me Sister Xue; either big sister or small sister would do.”
The old man darted her a glance and said to Su Ping with a chuckle, “Brother Su, you can just call her Xue the Tigress. I am Jing Shen and they call me the Crater. You can call me that as
well.”
Xue Yunzhen rolled her eyes. “Get lost.”
Ye Wuxiu smiled and said, “I don’t need to introduce myself, right?”.
“He is called Surprise Package. You don’t know that nickname, do you?” The old man named Jing Shen laughed. What an old man child.
Su Ping gave a soft smile. He found those people were quite friendly, and they never assumed any airs. “I am Su Ping. Call me the Store Owner Su if you want. This is my pet store.”
“Store Owner Su?”
The legendary battle pet warriors looked into the store and their looks lingered on the dragon statues. Jing Shen exclaimed, “Mr. Su, you must have commissioned a master to carve the statues; they are so lifelike. I think the dragons depicted must be at the Fate State…”
Just looking at the statues had left an impression on Jing Shen. It would have been intimidating if the dragons were there in the flesh.
“Huh, bad eyes. Those dragons are at the Star Rank,” the system mumbled unhappily.
Su Ping smiled. “Just some small trinkets. Guys, you have just come out from the underground. I have some battle pets on sale. I wonder if you’re interested.”
“Really?”
Xiang Fengran raised his eyebrows. “Brother Su, we have been fighting in the Deep Caves and we’ve changed our battle pets many times. The ones we have now are the best of the best. We wouldn’t go for any common battle pets, not even beast kings.”
“You lunatic, don’t talk if you don’t even know. Mr. Su means well, let’s at least take a look,” Xue Yunzhen said grumpily.
Xiang Fengran shrugged. He didn’t care; he wasn’t interested.
Ye Wuxiu smiled. “Brother Su, we will have a look then. We have some people who still have a few vacant spots.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as he finished talking, two people arrived. It was Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin. Venerable the Blade and Wu Guansheng had gone back to their respective defense lines; Wu Guansheng went to the Sheng-Long Defense Line, and Venerable the Blade to the Xing-Jing Defense Line.
“Huh?”
Ye Wuxiu and the others realized that the two were at the legendary rank.
How come such a small base city houses this many legendary battle pet warriors?
While they were still wondering, Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin approached the crowd. Both were surprised to see that large number of legendary battle pet warriors. They had been informed that many people of legendary rank were headed to Longjiang, but they had taken the information as a joke.
“Mr. Su, these people are…?” Qin Duhuang asked with respect.
He could feel that those people had an overwhelming aura.
“They are legendary battle pet warriors stationed in the Deep Caves, my friends,” Su Ping introduced.
Qin Duhuang was relieved. He had thought that they were people from the Tower. They are stationed underground… Filled with deep esteem, Qin Duhuang saluted them, “I am Qin Duhuang and I have just reached the legendary rank. I haven’t had the chance to visit you in the Deep Caves… It is an honor to meet you here.”
“You are all heroes. Such a pleasure to meet you,” Zhou Tianlin jumped in.
Xiang Fengran didn’t pay much attention to the two new legendary battle pet warriors. “Brother Su, you said you have battle pets on sale. Show us the goods. We’ll talk business afterwards.”
Su Ping nodded. He still had seven Void State battle pets in the store; there would be enough for them to pick from.
“This is a Water Swallowing Snake.”
A swirl opened up and from it came out a blue snake that was over a dozen meters long; the snake was in its tiny form but its energy was anything but.
“Huh?”
“Void State?”
“Wait, the late stage of the Void State…”
Xue Yunzhen, Xiang, and all the others were surprised as soon as the Water Swallowing Snake came out. It’s a Void State beast!This is the battle pet that Su Ping was talking about?!
He’s selling Void State pets?!
We wouldn’t even see such beast kings often while in the Deep Caves!
Xue Yunzhen had also said that the battle pet was at the late Void State!
“System, is there any way to show up its information?” Su Ping asked. He didn’t want to read the details himself.
The system answered, “There is nothing that the system cannot do as long as you give me energy points. One thousand energy points per time!”
Fishing in troubled waters!
Su Ping was pouting, but one thousand energy points were nothing for him. He allowed the system to do the display report since he didn’t want to waste time reading.
-1000
A virtual frame appeared to display the information right after the points were deducted.
Still, two bloodline skills couldn’t be seen. This would only be available to the person who buys the battle pet.
After all, if all details and trump cards were made public, anyone who didn’t buy the battle pet would know it well enough to find countermeasures and target it. “So many beast king skills…” “Wow…”
The legendary battle pet warriors were wide-eyed. That Water Swallowing Snake had over a hundred skills and they were only able to recognize some that were dozens in number. One had to consider that massive power of understanding!
“The best of the best!” Xiang Fengran murmured. He took a deep breath and said at once. “Brother Su, how much? I want it!”
Xue Yunzhen and Ye Wuxiu came back to their senses. While Ye Wuxiu was hesitating, Xue Yunzhen did not. She immediately said, “Do you know anything about ‘ladies first’? I want this one. Mr. Su, I can give you any artifacts or skills you want for this battle pet!”
Xiang Fengran wasn’t happy. “I called dibs!”
“So what? I was just lost in thought and I didn’t say it aloud. Be a gentleman. Do you know nothing about humility?” Xue Yunzhen refuted.
Xiang Fengran was livid with rage.
Ye Wuxiu turned to Su Ping and said, “Brother Su, I have one empty spot and my skills are a perfect fit with the battle pet. I promise that the battle pet will be able to realize its full potential if you sell it to me. It’ll help me be more helpful during the strike.
“What do you want? I think I can get it for you; treasures or materials, you name it.”
