Chapter 766: Ryan’s Fury
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Ping didn’t waste any time after collecting the items they left. He called Joanna and picked several pets to train. Then, he entered the Demigod Burial with his own pets.
He passed knowledge to the Little Skeleton first.
The Little Skeleton had been rented earlier on; he had only passed knowledge to the Dark Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon. He could also teach them another law since he had also perceived the God of Lightning’s Law.
Very soon, all the three laws were transferred to the Little Skeleton’s head.
Property: Pet of the demon family
Level: Upper position of the ninth rank
Combat Strength: 183.2
Aptitude: Ultra-low level
Talent Skills: Low-Level Agility Talent, Low-Level Strength Talent, Mid-Level Acceleration Talent
Bloodline Skills: Bone Demon, Eternal Revenant, Descent of the Bone King
Laws under control: Annihilation, Boom, God of Lightning
Skills: Regeneration, Undead Enslaving, Advanced Saberplay, Puppetry, Door to the Netherworld, Nightmare Space, Bone Proclivity…
183 points of combat ability?
Su Ping was quite surprised.
Not only had its combat ability surpassed the hundred mark, it was almost doubled its previous reading!
The lowest combat ability of the Star State was a hundred points, while that of a Star Lord was a thousand points!
The Little Skeleton had only grasped three more laws and two more talents, and yet, the resulting combat ability soared dramatically. If it mastered more laws, wouldn’t it become as strong as a Star Lord?
There was also the matter of the skeleton’s body, which was extremely weak and was holding it back.
If it were in the Ocean State… Its combat ability would’ve probably risen above two hundred points!
It’s only in the upper position of the ninth rank but is already as strong as a Star State beast. Still, its aptitude is only considered ultra-low? Su Ping’s eyes flashed, feeling the harshness of the system again.
However—considering the Little Skeleton’s new combat ability—it could have escaped on its own if it were put in a cage again.
The cage was indeed special and was able to even confine peak Fate State beasts, but was still vulnerable in front of the power of laws!
Su Ping taught the God of Lightning’s Law to the Dark Dragon Hound, the Inferno Dragon and the Purple Python while petting the Little Skeleton.
The Dark Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon’s combat ability had been increased by sixty points, which gave Su Ping a deeper understanding of the power of laws.
One law could increase combat abilities by sixty points.
He hadn’t tested whether a better law could lead to a higher increase in combat ability, but his guess was that it would.
He also realized that the further addition of laws would expand the increase of combat ability.
For instance, their combat ability might be increased by seventy or even eighty points if they grasped a fourth law!
After all, one more law would translate to double combat ability. If the new law worked with or even combined with the old laws, the power they could unleash wouldn’t simply be that of them combined!
I could finish the professional training immediately if I impart knowledge to the pets being trained… Su Ping thought quickly. However, it wasn’t easy for him to figure out the laws, and he would rather not teach them to the customers’ pets easily.
It has an ultra-high aptitude, yet it still fails to make it into the Chaos Multiverse Ranking…
Su Ping looked at the Purple Python’s aptitude and found they had risen from ultra-middle to ultra-high, and that its combat ability had been increased by forty points.
Su Ping wasn’t sure what to make of that.
As it turned out, the bottleneck to overcome the decimal point behind 99 would produce twenty points of combat ability!
That was not what he hoped for, at all!
Su Ping shook his head, unwilling to stay any longer. He chose a dangerous place just like before, leading the Little Skeleton as well as a few customers’ pets there.
He fought his way through the dangerous site.
Su Ping had taken frequent action during training, as the place had plenty of Star State beasts. Even God Warriors could perish there.
Su Ping fought the Star State beasts with the God of Lightning’s Law.
It was quite a mysterious law; it could both heal his wounds with the power of lightning and completely obliterate its objective.
Life and death circulated in the law. In addition, it could strengthen Su Ping by almost fifty percent, which was a horrifying boost.
However, Su Ping’s longevity would be reduced when he tapped into the boosted state. He would also be massively burdened and might suffer injuries if he stayed in that state for too long.
My combat ability seems to be higher than the Little Skeleton’s, but I’m not as good in the self-protection department. That fella is almost invulnerable. It actually reincarnates faster after mastering the law of annihilation…
Su Ping had a better understanding of himself after using the Star State beasts as sparring partners.
He was able to handle the enemies the Little Skeleton had trouble dealing with, although he had to try his best.
His combat ability would soar to a higher level if he chose to merge with the skeleton. He would become even stronger if he merged with the Dark Dragon Hound or the Inferno Dragon again, and would easily kill enemies that could have worn the Little Skeleton out.
Su Ping tried to adapt the three laws to his sword technique during battle; the attack would be more powerful than anyone could imagine if he managed to compress and fuse the three laws in one move!
Soon, the training for the first batch of pets was completed. Su Ping returned to his shop and selected a second batch before he started training again.
Fighting and training again and again…
Su Ping and his pets became stronger and stronger; they also grew increasingly familiar with laws.
The battles in that dangerous place attracted the attention of many forces in the Demigod Burial. They learned that a certain guy was causing trouble in various high risk areas.
But then they heard he was related to the War Goddess, so he didn’t dare to pry further.
…
At the same time.
When Su Ping killed Randall—in Rhea’s Central Continent, splendid and beautiful buildings stretched from the foot of a lofty mountain, reaching all the way to the top.
That was where the Ryan family was located.
There was a magnificent gate hundreds of meters tall at the foot of the mountain, with the name “Ryan” engraved on top of it in the most intimidating way.
A piece of shocking news had just disturbed the leadership of the family just then.
“The sixth prince is dead!”
“Prince Randall’s astral thought has just disappeared!”
“What happened? Who did it?”
“Randall… died?”
The family leaders were shocked and infuriated. Randall’s father—the second son of the family’s patriarch—was grieving.
He had two sons; the other son had limited talents and was destined to serve the family as a mediocre administrator.
Randall, however, had extraordinary potential!
He had been born with a high-rated constitution. He was very smart too, and was quick to grasp the sophisticated secret techniques.
He became an advanced battle pet warrior at the age of nine!
He reached the ninth rank when he was twelve!
He stepped into the Ocean State at seventeen, then mastered multiple powerful secret techniques. He had also begun to unravel the mysteries of space; he could even fight some Void State warriors without using his pets!
He had reached the age of twenty-three. He was able to deal with advanced Void State warriors and escape from those in the Fate State if he brought out his pets!
One could say that the future was nothing but promising. It was even likely he would reach the limits of the Fate State before becoming a hundred years old!
If he would have been fortunate enough, there were also chances for him to become a Star State expert!
And yet, such a seeded family descendant had died?
“Who did it? Have you found out where it happened?”
“We’ve tracked him down by checking the expense records on his account. Something happened to him near Woffett City.”
“Woffett City? On our very own planet?”
“I can’t believe it!”
“Who’s bold enough to kill our man on our very planet?”
Everybody was incensed when they found out he had died on that planet.
It was their own territory!
It was as if a stranger would have broken into their home and killed their child!
How could they calm down?
“Get the surveillance footage from the satellites starting with the day before the accident. Investigate and find out where the accident happened, and who was so audacious to do it!” declared Krayt who was responsible for the family’s daily dealings.
He was also a firstborn son from the Ryan family, Randall’s uncle!
The news spread within the Ryan family like a tornado, shocking everyone. Randall, who had been a dazzling star of the family, had died on Rhea. How was that possible?
Some people in the family gloated, some were ashamed, and some were worried that it was part of a plot against the Ryans.
No more than ten minutes passed; a video clip was delivered to the family leaders.
The evidence was part of a satellite feed. It was focused on the suburbs of Woffett after adjusting the zoom.
Randall was right there, accompanied by an elegant woman and several guards.
The video showed how Randall had a conflict with someone and fought over a pet. Undoubtedly, he had easily snatched the pet. Then, they talked…
Soon, unexpected changes happened in the latter half of the video!
Uncle Lei was next to Randall; he attacked, only to be stomped upon and killed by a stranger who had just emerged out of nowhere!
What happened next infuriated every person who watched the video.
Not only did the young man in the video execute Uncle Lei, but he also shattered Randall to pieces, not even minding to leave his body intact. Even the Star State secret treasure the family had prepared for Randall had failed to help him escape!
“It’s the power of laws!”
“He slashed the titanium cage open with his finger!”
“He doesn’t look like a local from this planet. He’s a foreigner!”
“I can’t tell which planet he’s from. Was he attracted to the Torrent of Thunderous Dragons? Or maybe the upcoming Pet Contest?”
“Find him right now!”
A muscular man growled with deep sorrow, “I’ll cut him into ten thousand pieces! I’ll enslave everybody who is related to him by blood for the rest of their lives!”
He roared aggressively like a wounded beast.
Krayt grimly asked someone to search for the young man.
He watched the video and frowned. “Judging from the situation, the pet nabbed by Randall must belong to this black-haired youngster who’s clearly a Star State expert. Randall must’ve warned him of his backing, yet the guy still attacked him. I wonder where he’s from.”
“He’s at the Star State… We’ll have to invite our father’s friends to help, won’t we?”
“Have you noticed the girl next to Randall? She doesn’t seem simple either. I heard that Randall had been dating a student of the Hugh Mia Academy. Is this true?”
“Could she be the student?”
“Well…”
The other family members were shocked by the speculations being passed around.
The woman had also been brutally killed in the video.
If she was a student of such a prestigious academy, would the man act that ferociously?
He dared to kill a student of the Hugh Mia Academy? Is he not afraid of being hunted in Silvy?
More importantly, he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to!
Even though Star State experts could drift in space, the Federation had advanced technologies that could scan every part of the universe except in dangerous sectors.
The results were soon delivered.
The black-haired young man in the video had been identified!
The technicians found the suspect lived in Woffett after making use of facial recognition and the big data system. It just so happened that he also owned a shop there!
Then, just after killing Randall, he simply returned to his shop and hadn’t gone out ever since!
What…?
Krayt and the others present looked at each other with shock and suspicion on their faces.
Is the man arrogant, or plain fearless?
Everyone knew that Rhea was the Ryans territory; their leader was a Star State expert who had plenty of friends and connections. Quite a few of them were staying in their estate!
The guy didn’t run off after murdering a man from the family. Is he waiting to be killed?
“It’s great that we’ve found him. I’m going to kill him!” Randall’s father, Raymond, let out a furious roar with bloodshot eyes. “Even if he’s a Star State expert, so what? We’ll ask our father to mince him to pieces. Our father loved Randall the most…”
Everybody looked at him with fluctuating expressions.
“I’ll report this matter to our father. Still, he’s a Star State expert who dares to stay after killing someone from the Hugh Mia Academy. We’d better find out more information about him first. If he’s just being cocky… we’ll make him pay a price he can’t afford!” announced Krayt coldly.
It was a promise of sorts to avenge his brother Raymond.
After all, they belonged to a big family that had stood the test of time for a thousand years and had plenty of members. Enraged as he might have been, Krayt had bot dared to take reckless actions.
It was rather perplexing to see how arrogant and fearless their enemy was behaving!
“He will have to give us an explanation, even if he comes from a powerful background!”
“Men of the Ryan family can’t die for nothing on our own territory. Nobody will respect us anymore if we don’t do something!”
The other people also showed a grim attitude.
