Su Ping was not in the mood to argue with her. He hung up his coat, sat down on the couch in the living room, and poured himself a glass of water.
"Hmm."
As soon as the water was poured, a slim hand reached over and drank it up. Who else could it be but Su Lingyue?
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows when she saw Su Ping looking at her. She meant, "You have a problem with that?"
Su Ping darted a look at the Phantom Flame Beast that was looking at her with ill intentions. He believed that he should be more generous as a human being. So, he didn't argue with her. He took another glass and poured himself another glass of water.
Su Lingyue snorted. She threw herself on the other side of the couch and stretched herself. "Someone is quite smart today. Good, good. You are worth teaching."
Su Ping ignored her. He began to size up the Phantom Flame Beast in her arms.
Soon, a piece of information popped up in his mind:
Phantom Flame Beast
Property: Pet of the demon family
Rank: Upper position of the third rank
Combat Strength: 4.6
Aptitude: Below average
Abilities Mastered: Phantom Flame Strike, Hell Fire Breath, Heart of Fire, Spirit Pierce, Phantom Roar
Su Ping raised his eyebrows after reading the information.
Below average aptitude?
That was not good enough …
At the very least, the Lightning Rats he trained could be considered below average. But this one was …
Su Lingyue noticed Su Ping's look. She glared at him. "What are you looking at? My Snowball is an excellent Phantom Flame Beast. It is almost invincible at the same rank. Even if it runs into a pet of the fourth rank, hmm, I don't know yet who will win!"
"Hmm."
Su Ping didn't say anything.
This Phantom Flame Beast was at the upper position of the third rank but its combat strength was 4.6. According to the system's interpretation, its actual combat strength was at the intermediate position of the fourth rank!
It was outstanding that the Phantom Flame Beast could fight above its rank.
But that was all.
The Lightning Rat he trained was at the upper position of the first rank and its combat strength was 3.6!
If the Lightning Rat could reach the third rank, it would be able to exert combat strength at the fifth or sixth rank. That would be horrifying!
However, even such a talented Lightning Rat could only be considered below average in the eyes of the system.
From Su Ping's perspective, this Phantom Flame Beast still had a long way to go. It did not need to be outstanding, but it should at least be average.
"Hmm? What are you sneering at? "Su Lingyue frowned and glared at Su Ping.
Su Ping was a little speechless. "Can't you make people laugh?"
"But you're sneering."
"…"
"Alright, alright. What are you guys arguing about? Come and eat." Li Qingru passed by with the reheated dishes and said to the siblings, "Come and eat. Don't watch TV here."
Su Ping didn't want to waste any more time on her. He went to wash his hands and eat.
The dinner was very sumptuous. There was fish soup, braised pork, stir-fried pork with tofu, and several vegetables. Su Ping had a great appetite. He washed his hands and immediately sat down to eat.
Su Lingyue came to the table with Snowball in her arms.
Li Qingru served Su Lingyue a bowl of rice and sat down. "How was the competition today? Did you pass?"
Su Lingyue picked up her chopsticks and smiled. She said calmly, "Today was only the preliminary round. It was a piece of cake for me. Besides, my opponent was just a new student in my class. It wasn't much of a challenge. It only took me one morning to earn enough points to advance to the next round. What a pity …"
"What's a pity?" Li Qingru was worried.
"It's a pity that I couldn't compete with the seniors from the third years. Otherwise, I would have been able to win a place in the finals." Su Lingyue looked regretful.
"Eh-hem!" Su Ping almost choked. He coughed.
Su Lingyue cast him a sidelong glance. "No one is going to fight with you. Aren't you afraid of choking?"
Su Ping had to take two sips of the fish soup to calm himself down. He ignored Su Lingyue and went back to eating.
Li Qingru was relieved to hear Su Lingyue's words. She said grumpily, "You've just been admitted to the Star Dragon Academy. It's not easy for you to stand out among the new students. Don't always compare yourself with the seniors. You'll tire yourself out."
"Yes, you're right, mom." Su Lingyue nodded. She was grinning from ear to ear.
Su Ping coughed again.
Su Lingyue glared at him with murderous intent.
Su Ping didn't have to look up to know that she was glaring at him …
"You must be tired today. Eat more." Li Qingru put some meat in Su Lingyue's bowl.
"Yes, mom, eat some too." Su Lingyue grinned.
Su Ping finished his food quickly and went on to the second bowl.
"Speaking of which, something strange happened during the competition today. You won't believe it if I tell you." Su Lingyue suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Qingru was surprised. "What strange thing?"
"There was a senior girl who seemed to be one of the most popular people in the academy. Today, she used a Lightning Rat. I thought she was being silly, but guess what? Her Lightning Rat won two rounds in a row, against the Dragon Hound and the Stone Rhino! "Su Lingyue's eyes glowed with excitement.
"Lightning Rat?" Su Ping's ears perked up.
Li Qingru was dumbfounded. "It defeated the Dragon Hound and the Stone Rhino? You must be mistaken. Was it a Thunder Rat? No, not even a Thunder Rat could have done that … "
Li Qingru was a regular trainer and she was familiar with pets. She knew it was impossible!
Seeing Li Qingru's puzzled look, Su Lingyue didn't keep her in suspense. "Don't be surprised. This Lightning Rat has learned two advanced skills. One is the seventh-rank 'Thunder Slash' and the other is' Thunder Shadow Image '! Relying on these two advanced skills, the Lightning Rat defeated the Dragon Hound easily. The Stone Rhino failed to protect its master and was defeated as well! "
Su Ping was stunned.
Thunder Slash?
Thunder Shadow Image?
Was it really the Lightning Rat he had trained?
No way …
All of a sudden, Su Ping remembered the appearance of the Lightning Rat's master. The Lightning Rat was young, about the same age as Su Lingyue. That being the case, the Lightning Rat could be a student.
More importantly, Su Ping believed that apart from the Lightning Rat he had trained, there couldn't be another Lightning Rat that was as horrifying as the one he had trained. Also, both Lightning Rats had the same abilities.
"What a small world …"
Su Ping mumbled to himself with a forced smile.
He didn't know that the Lightning Rat's master was from the same academy as Su Lingyue.
"Two advanced skills?" Li Qingru was taken aback. "This Lightning Rat is so talented."
"That's right. Everyone was scared." Su Lingyue agreed. "The Lightning Rat's master is a genius. There aren't many people that I admire. That senior is one of them."
Su Ping turned his attention back to Su Lingyue. If she knew that the Lightning Rat was trained by her brother, would she still have this attitude?
But that was just a thought. She wouldn't believe him even if he said it out loud. Instead, she would mock him.
After dinner, Su Ping and Su Lingyue went their separate ways.
Su Ping went upstairs after taking a shower. He thought that he would be energetic at night since he had slept in the afternoon. However, as soon as he lay down, he felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.
The next morning.
Su Ping had just woken up when he saw another ghost face in front of him. Since he was mentally prepared the day before, he was only startled for a moment before he came back to his senses. He threw a grumpy glance at Su Lingyue who was sneering outside the door and went downstairs.
After breakfast, Su Ping and Su Lingyue went their separate ways. One to the academy and the other to the store.
After a night of rest, Su Ping was full of energy and motivation. He decided that he would go and gather food that day to earn energy points as soon as possible!
At the store, Su Ping fed the Moon Chasing Hound the same dog food as before. Then, he closed the door and said to himself, "Cultivation Plane Window."
Soon, a plane window appeared.
