"You're going to challenge the Divine Lord Rank, and you want me to go with you?"
Elder Yan, who was reading an ancient book in the courtyard, looked at Su Ping in surprise. He had been letting Su Ping grow freely in the past few years. After all, he had trained Su Ping for the Star State; all he needed to do was accumulate energy. He could sense that Su Ping was making progress every day.
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded with a different expression.
Elder Yan was stunned to see Su Ping's expression. His eyes widened as he asked in shock, "Are you telling me that you're confident of challenging the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank?"
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded again.
"…"
Elder Yan was lost for words. After a moment of silence, he said with a bitter smile, "I thought it would take you ten years, but it's only been three …"
He didn't know what to say.
Su Ping had risen to the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank after only three years in the Celestial Court. That wasn't just a leap; it was horrifying!
Even Elder Yan was shocked. It was not hard to imagine that the entire universe would be shocked if the news got out!
"Are you confident?" asked Elder Yan.
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded.
Elder Yan was helpless. He knew that he had asked for nothing. Su Ping wouldn't have been so serious if he wasn't confident. Even if he failed this time, he was very close to succeeding. He believed that he would succeed soon.
"Do you really plan to leave this place after you succeed?" asked Elder Yan.
Su Ping nodded. "Thank you for taking care of me in the past three years. Please let me know if you need anything in the future."
"I didn't take care of you. I was just following my master's orders." Elder Yan transferred the favor to his master. Once a genius like Su Ping truly rose, such a favor would be of some use. He wouldn't have cared if it were someone else's favor; it wouldn't have mattered if it were someone else.
"It's been three years … Time flies." Elder Yan had mixed feelings. Normal geniuses would make rapid progress in the early stages, but they would gradually settle down after they reached the Star State and the Star Lord State. It would take them decades or even a hundred years to make any major changes. However, Su Ping was still cultivating at the same speed. That was unbelievable.
"I haven't been paying attention to your peers, but I think you're the one who has made the most progress. You were the best in the Fate State before; you're probably the best in the Star State now. I hope that you'll reach the top of the Divine Lord Rank in the future!" said Elder Yan had high hopes for Su Ping..
Su Ping nodded.
The two of them then went to the virtual arena.
As soon as he arrived, he ran into a familiar person who seemed to be about to leave the city.
"Humph!"
When Su Ping saw Diaz, Diaz saw Su Ping too. He and Su Ping had been recruited by Supreme God at the same time. They were known as the Twin Stars and had become the subject of discussion and comparison. Many people in the Celestial Court discussed which of them had greater potential in the future, but in the end, they all favored Su Ping.
After all, he was the champion of the universe, and it was said that he had an unknown constitution. Everybody was looking forward to it.
By the way, Su Ping's constitution had been confirmed by the experts of the Federation and was officially recorded in the Federation's Illustrated Handbook of Constitutions. The nine divine constitutions of the universe had become ten!
The whole Celestial Court was seething with excitement. It wasn't hard to imagine how shocked the rest of the universe would be!
The nine divine constitutions had stood at the top of the pyramid of constitutions in the universe for more than a hundred thousand years. Now, one of them had been added, and it was Su Ping. Also, Su Ping was the champion of the Universe Geniuses' Contest, which made him very popular in the universe.
However, all information about Su Ping had been blocked; he was in seclusion in the Celestial Court. Nobody knew what was going on with Su Ping.
"Do you want to spar with me when you have time?" Diaz had been holding back his anger at Su Ping. He said, "I've condensed a small world and reached the seventieth place on the Divine Lord Rank. I'm completely different from three years ago!"
Su Ping had a weird expression. Elder Yan was also stunned for a moment, then said in amusement, "Didn't my old friend tell you about Su Ping's current situation?"
Diaz was also guided by a Divine Lord's battle pet. Similarly, the Divine Lord also had a Star State training program.
Diaz had obviously completed all kinds of training in the past three years. He had also condensed a small world, so it was already quite impressive for him to reach the seventieth place in three years.
Unfortunately, Elder Yan felt sorry for Diaz after seeing the monster Su Ping's performance.
Both of them had a top constitution, but the guy's aptitude in other aspects was obviously much lower.
It wasn't that Diaz was bad; Su Ping's progress was simply too fast. Elder Yan had heard from Divine Lord that Su Ping seemed to be practicing tough techniques. That was why Divine Lord didn't teach Su Ping any techniques, but only taught him a secret technique called "Thousand Rain."
"Huh?"
Diaz was stunned for a moment. He suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw Elder Yan's expression. He frowned and asked, "His current situation? What's going on? Can he already defeat a Star Lord ranked seventieth on the Divine Lord Rank with ease? "
Elder Yan didn't want to discourage Diaz, so he said, "That's not wrong. All in all, there's still a huge gap between the two of you. You're no match for him. There's no need for such a competition."
No need?
Diaz was stunned. He would've burst into fury if someone else had said that.
That was the most insulting thing to say, right?
However, it was Elder Yan who said that. He could only accept it. He was also disappointed. Was Su Ping ahead of him again?
He had mixed feelings and was unwilling to give up. He had the urge to continue the fight, but in the end, he managed to hold back.
Elder Yan's attitude made him realize the answer. However, he really didn't want to give up!
He had tried hard enough, but he was still inferior to Su Ping!
He had never experienced such a feeling before he met Su Ping. He had always been the one who left other people in the dust, and nobody could catch up to him.
But now, it was the other way around.
Su Ping looked at Diaz's constipated face and felt touched. He said, "I'm leaving the Celestial Court soon. Let's meet again if fate wills it. You're welcome to visit my shop if you're free."
With that, he waved his hand and left with Elder Yan.
Diaz was stunned. Su Ping was leaving the Celestial Court?
The environment here was so comfortable, and the people were nice, but Su Ping wanted to leave?
Suddenly, he had a dull feeling, but in the deepest part of his heart, there was a faint trace of joy.
If Su Ping left, he wouldn't be able to find such a comfortable environment in the outside world. So … Could he take the opportunity to catch up with him?
He shook off the thought as soon as it occurred to him. He was angry that he had such an embarrassing thought!
He shook his head in annoyance and returned to his palace.
"What's wrong?"
An old man with white hair and a youthful face was surprised to see him return in annoyance. It wasn't surprising that he failed to challenge the Divine Lord Rank.
"That guy's leaving."
Diaz said gloomily.
The old man was stunned. He asked in confusion, "That guy … Are you talking about Su Ping's little disciple?"
"Who else could it be?" Diaz was upset. Who else was worth his attention except for Su Ping?
"Where is he going? Didn't the master say that he'll only be allowed to leave the Celestial Court after he's strong enough to defeat the top ten on the Divine Lord Rank? "asked the old man in confusion.
Diaz shuddered. He abruptly raised his head and asked in disbelief, "W-What did you say?"
He even forgot to address the old man as "senior" for a moment.
The old man came back to his senses after seeing his shocked reaction. He recalled the conversation he had with Elder Yan half a year ago and was shocked. Could it be that his little disciple was already capable of …
…
Inside the arena.
Elder Yan helped Su Ping complete the appointment, and Su Ping entered the virtual battlefield skillfully. Opposite him was the black-robed woman.
In the past three years, Su Ping had often come here to spar with her and steal the path of destruction from her.
Su Ping couldn't help but sigh when he saw her again.
"Thank you for the past three years. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to meet you in reality," Su Ping said softly to the black-robed woman across from him.
The black-robed woman was expressionless. She had only left a string of battle data without any communication.
Soon, the battle began.
Su Ping took a deep breath. He had fought such battles many times, and he intended to end it in his true form this time.
Bang!
The dazzling sword aura illuminated the entire world at the speed of light, but it was then extinguished.
The black-robed woman's chest had been pierced. Then, her entire body collapsed and disappeared.
Su Ping returned to the arena and took off his helmet.
Elder Yan was stunned. "Why is it out? Is there something wrong with the device?"
"It's over," said Su Ping calmly.
Elder Yan's eyes almost popped out. He asked in shock, "It's over? How long has it been? You've been in there for less than thirty seconds, haven't you? "
"This is the result of the battle. The device can't be wrong." Su Ping pointed at the monitor in front of him. A flame burned on it, and the word "victory" slowly appeared.
Elder Yan was speechless for a long time.
He had thought that Su Ping was only confident in defeating his opponent, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly. Although he didn't see the whole process, he could tell that it was a crushing victory.
It meant that Su Ping had a chance to defeat his opponent and leave the Celestial Court even earlier!
"What's the highest rank you can defeat right now?" Elder Yan suddenly asked.
He stared at Su Ping's eyes without blinking, as if he cared more about it than Su Ping did.
Su Ping, however, slightly shook his head and said, "I haven't tried."
"You haven't?" Elder Yan was stunned and unconvinced. "Why not? Aren't you curious about the uniqueness of the higher-ranked people? Why haven't you tried?"
"I've challenged every one of the top ten, but that was two years ago. I couldn't defeat them back then, so I just wanted to see what was special about them. But I haven't tried now," explained Su Ping.
