Chapter 763: Pet Robbery
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The God of Lightning’s Law was the third law that Su Ping had grasped.
Su Ping was quite excited; spending those eighty million energy points was definitely worth it. Not many people in the Fate State could’ve done that.
Right when Su Ping intended to test the new ability in a cultivation site—someone suddenly smashed the door.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and spread out his senses.
The shop would block the other people’s probing, but not Su Ping’s perception.
He saw a young man wearing a bloodstained armor outside the shop. He was wounded, and was knocking at the door anxiously.
“Huh?”
Su Ping quickly recognized him; it was one of the two young men who had rented the Little Skeleton earlier.
He quickly changed his expression and searched for the Little Skeleton, only to find that the young man didn’t have it.
Shua!
Su Ping rose quickly and rushed to open the door.
Abbott, the young man outside, was quite shocked. He was about to talk after seeing Su Ping open the shop, only to find that the boss’ eyes were even more cold and horrifying than those of the wild Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on the Rumbling Thunder Continent.
“B—Boss, not good! Someone took the pet you rented us!” said Abbott quickly after overcoming his momentary shock.
“Someone robbed you? Where?”
Su Ping looked at Abbott with eyes that were as sharp as sabers.
Abbott didn’t dare to look Su Ping in the eye. He was quite shocked; he detected that Su Ping was an Ocean State warrior, but was still awed by him, even though the former had explored and hunted on many planets.
“Outside the city.”
Abbott focused on the matter at hand and quickly said, “We were on our way back to return your pet; our captain even planned to come and thank you in person. But then we came across a bunch of people on the outskirts… They found that your pet was extraordinary after checking it with some sort of device, then forcefully took it from us.”
Noticing that Su Ping was becoming grimmer by the second, he quickly added, “We tried to stop them; this is why I have all these wounds. But they had two Fate State experts. Our captain was unable to beat them…”
“Outside the city…”
Su Ping’s eyes were cold as he thought. He closed his eyes, choosing not to yell at the guy.
Soon after, he managed to vaguely locate the Little Skeleton through their bond. Judging from the power of the link, it was indeed in the suburbs.
“Lead the way!” said Su Ping coldly.
In the meantime, he summoned the Dark Dragon Hound, the Inferno Dragon and other pets from the nursing pens and then sent them to his contract space.
Abbott was stunned. He quickly said, “Two of them are Fate State warriors. Do you want to ask someone for help? If we go there alone…”
“I asked you to lead the way!” Lightning glowed in Su Ping’s eyes, which were strong enough to pierced through the mind.
Abbott was so intimidated that his heart raced beyond control. There was disbelief in his eyes, thinking that Su Ping wasn’t an Ocean State but an actual Fate State expert!
The daunting aura made him tremble and all his pores were constricted.
He would not dare infuriate Su Ping, so he quickly nodded and ran off.
Su Ping closed the door and looked at the Lightning Rat underneath the statue. Seeing that it was looking at him, he said, “Watch over the shop for me.”
The Lightning Rat tilted its head in confusion and watched Su Ping walk away. There was deep thoughtfulness in its tiny eyes.
…
In the suburbs of Woffett City—
The scenery wasn’t bad; it had green forests and fresh air everywhere.
“This way…”
Abbott led the way. He used his special movement technique and flew like an agile bird.
He looked back and his eyeballs almost popped out. He found that Su Ping was only a few meters behind him while moving in a rock steady manner. It wasn’t any body movement technique, just the boost of astral power!
How could he be so fast without using any body movement technique?
Abbott was appalled. What is this man’s cultivation?
“Here we are.”
Su Ping’s eyes were deep and cold. He could already sense with clarity where the Little Skeleton was; the distance between them was within the enforced summoning range.
Without hesitation, Su Ping summoned the pet via the contract!
But very soon, the power of summoning failed and disappeared.
Su Ping’s face had a slight change of expression. It meant that the Little Skeleton was either fighting, or was being detained by something.
A Fate State battle pet warrior should be no match for him. Su Ping’s face became darker and darker. The clarity of their bond improved as he got closer; he sensed the Little Skeleton was somewhat anxious, but then it gradually calmed down after detecting him.
“Don’t be scared. I’m on my way.” Su Ping sent a telepathic message via the contract.
He looked at Abbott, who was at the moment flying up and down like a bee, and simply dashed forward while grabbing the latter by the shoulder.
Whoosh!
Flash!
Su Ping tore space open and flashed to appear tens of thousands of meters away.
He then flashed consecutively after that.
Abbott was both shocked and frightened. No wonder Su Ping had dared to go there with him in tow, without worrying about whether it was a trap. As it turned out, the boss was hiding his cultivation and was at the Fate State. Why else would he be bold enough to go there on his own to fight two Fate State experts?
…
In an empty forest—
Several pits near the forest had been destroyed. Rock spikes and ash from fires could be found on the ground.
“Tsk, tsk. Based on the readings, this little is very likely a Class A pet if assessed. It might even be a super rare Class S pet!”
There was a young man in the field, standing next to a cage imprisoning a white skeleton.
That cage was surrounded by runes and would unleash flames when the skeleton touched it; its fingers would be burned.
The flames were quite unusual. They burned the fingers even though they weren’t inflammable. The skeleton would then have to break its fingers to isolate and evade the flames.
Fortunately, broken bones could be regenerated at the cost of some of its energy.
“It’s merely in the advanced phase of the ninth rank, and yet it has such extraordinary energy waves. It’s unbelievable. This is definitely a super rare pet on the market.”
A young girl exclaimed, “If it’s improved and reaches the Ocean State, it’ll probably win a good prize in the Universal Pet Contest.”
“Hehe. Let’s assess it later and find out more about its bloodline. It would be a gift for you, Ms. Denise, if it has good upper limits,” said the young man.
He was a handsome, purple haired man.
The girl named Denise rolled her eyes and chuckled and said, “Would you really surrender this pet to me if it was indeed a rare pet with a Star State bloodline?”
The young man replied, with affection in his eyes, “Of course. A minor pet can’t compare to you, Ms. Denise.”
Denise covered her mouth and giggled after hearing his response.
Once he saw she was giggling, the young man narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man on his opposite side, before he said casually, “Get the hell out of here while I’m not in the mood for killing.”
A brawny middle-aged man begged on the opposite side, “Prince Randall, this isn’t our pet; we only rented it. If you’re interested in one of our own, we would happily hand it over to you. But we really can’t give you this one…”
Two Fate State pets stood behind him; he was also in fusion mode, with purple tattoos on his face and hands in the shape of claws. He was unleashing a daunting Fate State aura.
However, he could only implore at this moment.
“Idiot!”
The young man said coldly, “If it’s not yours, why are you still badgering me? This pet is lucky to be appreciated by Ms. Denise; it will make greater achievements with her. It would be a waste if it remained as a cheap pet for rent for the rest of its life.”
“Prince Randall, we won’t be able to explain the matter to the owner if we give the pet to you,” said an old man who had turned into an eagle; he stood next to the middle-aged man.
“Huh? Who are you? Do you think you deserve to talk to me?” said the young man with aggression on his face, “There’s nothing I can’t take on this planet. Uncle Lei, take their heads and feed them to my tiger!”
“Yes, sir,”
An old man answered casually and stepped out.
He instantly unleashed the horrifying scent of a peak Fate State warrior. Behind it, an enormous Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon stepped out and merged with him.
“Lightning Constitution: Extreme Flash!”
The old man mumbled with lightning surfacing on his body and enveloping it with armor.
Everybody who was standing on the old man’s opposite side looked appalled when they saw the change. They didn’t expect that a servant of the Ryan family could be that strong!
In the next moment, the old man dashed over and approached the brawny middle-aged man, almost in the blink of an eye.
“Secret Technique: Rumbling Thunder Punch!”
The old man suddenly extended his fist where thousands of brilliant lightning bolts were gathered as if lightning charges were attracted from the void. He pushed them out like a dazzling ball.
The brawny middle-aged man’s face changed as he unleashed his astral power to resist.
Time seemed to have slowed down at the critical moment, then someone made a sudden appearance right above the old man.
The old man’s pupils were slightly constricted; he then turned his head to look up.
What he saw was nothing but a quickly-expanding shoe.
After a loud bam, the shoe kissed the old man’s face. In the next moment, his neck was broken, making a noisy crack, and his body rushed to the ground, causing an earthquake in the woods!
A gigantic crater appeared after the attack. The old man—who had shown a lightning constitution and used a powerful fusion technique—had already fallen apart, his brains flowing everywhere.
In front of his corpse stood a man with black hair and black eyes who was releasing a daunting killing intent.
