"Feel free to ask them if there's anything you don't understand."
Consul Xue gave a brief explanation and then closed the door of a cabin.
Lou Lanlin glanced at Su Ping and snorted. She waved her hand and summoned a small gray beast from the contract space. She held the beast in her arms and said, "Little Dot, we are going out to play today. Haven't you always wanted to come out? Are you excited?"
The little beast had soft thorns all over its body, but those thorns were curved. They weren't prickly; on the contrary, they felt comfortable to the touch. The little beast looked at Su Ping with vigilance. It sensed a strange and dangerous aura coming from Su Ping. That aura made the little beast feel as if it had met its natural enemy.
"Ignore him." Lou Lanlin snorted and went to the lounge with the little beast.
Su Ping ignored her and asked a Star Lord who was serving him, "Is there a training room here?"
The Star Lord had a weird expression. He was about to answer when he thought of something and shook his head. "No."
"No?" Su Ping was suspicious. His intuition told him that the man was lying.
"No!" The Star Lord quickly shook his head firmly.
Su Ping looked at him for a moment and had to give up. He went to the lounge, only to see Lou Lanlin throw herself on a couch and feed her pet.
Su Ping immediately thought of the Little Skeleton and his other pets. The Little Skeleton appeared next to him and looked at Su Ping in confusion.
Su Ping touched its smooth head. It was completely bald; it was as cold and comfortable as a pebble.
The Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound were too large; they might affect the spaceship if they were summoned. Su Ping rummaged through the cabinets and found a few bags of jerky. He clapped his hands and opened the bags. Su Ping took out two pieces of jerky and gave them to the Little Skeleton.
There was a little oil and salt on the surface of the jerky, and it was filled with the fragrance of seasoning. It looked very delicious.
It was obvious that it was the first time the little skeleton had eaten such a snack. He picked it up and looked around. Then, under Su Ping's signal, he carefully put it into his mouth and chewed slowly. As he chewed, bits of meat fell from his chin. Loulan Lin was speechless.
"Do skeletons eat like this?" Lou Lanlin couldn't help but ask.
Su Ping didn't seem to notice. "Yes."
"… Can it be absorbed if I eat it like this?"
"Why do we need to absorb this kind of junk food? Just try it," Su Ping said casually.
Loulan Lin was speechless. She refused to admit defeat and said, "But it doesn't even have a tongue. How can it taste anything?"
"Just because you can't, doesn't mean it can't. Little skeleton, is it tasty?"
The Little Skeleton looked at Su Ping and seemed to be thinking. Then, he nodded.
"… You're threatening your pet." Loulan Lin felt indignant for the Little Skeleton.
Su Ping picked up the Little Skeleton. He didn't want to talk to Loulan Lin. He picked up the meat on the ground and said, "It is junk food but it is still dragon meat. Don't waste it."
The Little Skeleton understood. It nodded and threw the meat into its mouth again. This time, the Little Skeleton released a black mist that melted and absorbed the meat. None of it spilled out.
"This is an advanced pet snack. How can you say it's junk food?" Loulan Lin felt that Su Ping was more extravagant than she was. She snorted. "Your pet can be a mukbang player. You can eat whatever you want!"
"That's a good idea."
Loulan Lin was just saying it casually but Su Ping did have an idea. The Little Skeleton couldn't speak yet because it didn't know many people. It would be nice to let the Little Skeleton play on its own while he cultivated.
After all, the Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound should have their own lives.
Apart from fighting in the cultivation sites, the Little Skeleton should be on standby in the contract space. Life shouldn't be so boring.
Going out to date and having fun was a form of enjoyment.
"Master's battle pets, Senior Yan, are already able to teach and answer questions for Master. Senior Yan is very experienced and he travels a lot. He doesn't just stay by Master's side; he also stays in Master's contract space."
"Xue's battle pets can drive spaceships and I think they have many other life skills. They are all independent. Apart from the fact that they have different bloodlines, they can live a good life in the human world."
Su Ping felt that he had to teach the Little Skeleton and the other battle pets some life skills from time to time. However, that wasn't included in the system's instruction. But he had an expert in that area in his store, Joanna.
She had maxed out her life skills, including illustration, tea making, bartending, and so on. She had maxed out all the skills that aristocrats could use.
The image of the Little Skeleton, the Dark Dragon Hound and the Dark Dragon Hound tasting wine gracefully made Su Ping feel strange.
"In the future, when you're not cultivating, you must enjoy your life. I will help you cultivate your interests!" Su Ping said in his mind.
Those words could be directly transmitted to the pet's mind, even if the pet was in the contract space.
"Woof?" The Little Skeleton barked in confusion.
After feeding the Little Skeleton jerky, Su Ping told the Little Skeleton to rest in the cabin.
Since Su Ping said that it could rest, the Little Skeleton looked around. After confirming that there were no threats, the Little Skeleton fell to the ground, motionless.
The little beast in Lou Lanlin's arms was so scared that its quills stood up. It stared at the Little Skeleton on the ground and squeaked every now and then, as if to say, "I have seen through your disguise!"
The Little Skeleton's head was tilted to the side. Its eye sockets were empty. It didn't pay any attention to the squeak.
Lou Lanlin could tell that the Little Skeleton's energy was stable, but the Little Skeleton's behavior was strange. "Your pet …"
"It's resting." Su Ping didn't know what to say. He had thought that the Little Skeleton would wander around outside. It turned out that the Little Skeleton was a homebody.
Lou Lanlin didn't say anything else. She had gone with Su Ping because her family wanted her to give an answer.
She didn't have much contact with Su Ping, so she didn't want to give an answer so easily. She had thought that she could go to the Celestial Palace and see where that Celestial lived. However, Su Ping didn't plan to go back, which was a pity.
"What? There is a virtual machine here. Great. Let's play. "Lou Lanlin was pleasantly surprised to see two small machines.
Su Ping nodded. "Sure."
Since he had nothing better to do, it wouldn't be a bad idea to find a place to practice his secret technique.
The two of them went to the virtual machine. Lou Lanlin said to Su Ping excitedly, "Since you're as strong as the top ten on the Divine Lord Rank, I won't bully you if we set your level to the Star State, right?"
"Sure."
Su Ping didn't mind.
The two of them could choose to set their level in the virtual game. That way, their level would be the same when they entered the virtual arena.
"Do you want to record your battle pet?" asked Lou Lanlin.
"No need for mine. You can do whatever you want," said Su Ping.
"Are you underestimating me?" Lou Lanlin was angry. She wouldn't be calculative in other aspects, but she would never admit defeat when it came to combat!
She didn't choose to record her battle pet; she quickly put on the sensor helmet.
"Let's begin!"
Eager to fight, she entered the virtual arena.
Su Ping closed his eyes and sank his consciousness, as if he had entered a tunnel of light. Soon, cheers burst out around him. He found himself in a vast battlefield, surrounded by a sea of people who were all virtual spectators. The atmosphere was quite lively.
"Bring it on!"
Lou Lanlin appeared in front of him. She was wearing a tight suit and looked valiant, completely different from her usual elegant princess image. She looked like a Valkyrie who had put on armor and was about to charge on the battlefield.
Su Ping lowered his head and looked at himself. He was in white casual clothes, without any armor or weapon. There were different armor styles and weapons to choose from in the weapon and equipment management section. All of them were of the same strength. Of course, there were also equipment that was of the same strength but looked fancier. But … he had to pay for it.
Su Ping picked a random longsword and slashed at Lou Lanlin.
"You!"
Lou Lanlin didn't expect that Su Ping would attack without any warning. She hurried to dodge and put on a serious and cold expression. She had never admitted defeat on the battlefield. She focused her mind and took a deep breath, treating it as a real battle. Subconsciously, she kept telling herself that she would die if she failed!
"Die!"
Lou Lanlin moved quickly like a phantom. The laws of wind surrounded her and she was as fast as a shadow.
Su Ping subconsciously tried to knock her away with the power of the small world, but he couldn't sense the small world. At the same time, a notification popped up in his head. Due to the limitation of his level, he couldn't use the power beyond the Star State.
So, this is how virtual battles work … Su Ping understood. He dodged Lou Lanlin's sword easily. I can only use the power of laws. Let's try this.
He turned around and stood with his sword in hand. He quietly looked at Lou Lanlin, who had turned around to attack again.
Seeing that her probing attack had been easily dodged, Lou Lanlin unleashed her full strength. Intense sword intent spread out from her body and sword shadows appeared around her. Some invisible sword shadows were hidden among them. As she attacked, the sword shadows turned into a storm and swept toward Su Ping.
However, the next moment, Su Ping suddenly disappeared in front of her.
With a bang, the sword shadows in the sky collapsed. Then, the arena in front of Lou Lanlin's eyes collapsed into virtual data. She was back in her cabin.
"How …"
Lou Lanlin's pupils contracted. She felt the pain before the battle ended. A sharp blade had cut off her neck. It seemed to have happened in real life. It was quite frightening.
She looked at Su Ping who had taken off his sensor helmet and breathed heavily. She gritted her teeth and asked, "How did you do that?"
"The law of time." Su Ping glanced at her and said, "I only wanted to test it, but you didn't feel it at all. Have you not grasped the law of time?"
"The law of time …" Lou Lanlin swallowed. It was one of the four supreme laws. How could it be easy to grasp? She suddenly understood why Su Ping could compete with the top ten of the Divine Lord Rank when he was only in the Star State. If he had grasped the law of time and a powerful small world, she might not have been able to defeat him.
"Can you not use the law of time? Let's try again?" Lou Lanlin gritted her teeth, unwilling to give up. However, she felt that her face was burning when she said that. It was supposed to be a battle between Star Lords, and Su Ping had to break his own weapon. It wouldn't have been honorable even if he won.
"Sure." Su Ping didn't say anything else. He simply agreed.
Lou Lanlin was surprised. She darted a look at Su Ping. All of a sudden, she realized that this young man wasn't such a mean person.
"Okay, let's try again." Lou Lanlin took a deep breath and calmed down before she knew it.
Su Ping nodded.
The two of them entered the virtual arena again. To be honest, the battle had ended too quickly, and Su Ping wasn't satisfied yet. He wanted to try something else.
She hasn't grasped the law of time. She probably hasn't grasped the laws of destruction, life, and chaos, either. So, it seems that I have to use other laws to end the battle, Su Ping thought.
Very soon, the battle resumed. Su Ping pulled back and forth with the laws of fire, lightning, and other laws. While dodging and counterattacking, he also tried to perform some of the moves that he had created by fusing the laws he had conceived.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a sword aura that contained the characteristics of the fusion of seven laws split the virtual arena. Lou Lanlin, who was at the end of the sword aura, trembled and fell straight down with obvious cracks on her body.
Lou Lanlin looked at Su Ping on the other side and said excitedly, "What's that move? I can't resist it with the power of laws. I have laws that have reached the Dao-Level!"
"It's just a small trick." Su Ping looked at her weirdly. "Did you really use your full strength? Why don't you adjust your level to the Star Lord State? "
"You …"
Lou Lanlin almost fainted from anger.
What do you mean? Do you think I'm too weak?
"No, let's do it again!" Lou Lanlin gritted her teeth. Even though there was a huge gap between her and Su Ping, she had been defeated in one move every time. None of her attacks could even touch Su Ping. She didn't believe that there was such a huge gap between them!
Soon after, the two of them appeared in the virtual arena again.
Lou Lanlin angrily turned off the special effect and chose to close the environment.
The virtual cheers sounded noisy to her ears. Somehow, Lou Lanlin was infuriated by the sight of Su Ping, who wasn't even wearing any armor. He was wearing a white shirt and holding an ordinary-looking sword.
"Kill him!"
Loulan Lin attacked again. Her movement technique was like a shadow. She used the most powerful secret technique of the Loulan Family. Many precepts were like flowers in her hand. She spread them all over the battle arena.
Dazzling Secret Skills were unleashed continuously.
Su Ping was like a small boat in the middle of an ocean. The tsunami was raging around him, but he was always swaying with the waves; he wasn't touched at all.
Half a minute later, a sword aura was launched.
In the cabin — Lou Lanlin raised her head with an awful expression.
