Thinking of Su Ping's question, the boy answered respectfully, "Mr. Su, there was an exchange match with the Berserking Blade Academy today. But it's over now. There will be several more matches tomorrow and they will be the finale.
Ye Hao, the third-year champion of our academy, will be there as well. Mr. Su, if you're interested, you can go and have a look tomorrow. "
Su Ping thought to himself that it was indeed an exchange match. But he found it strange that the match was over. It was over. Why hadn't anyone come to the store yet?
"Nothing else?" Su Ping asked.
"Nothing else."
Su Ping frowned. Since he couldn't get any more information out of the boy, he let him go.
Around eight or nine o 'clock in the evening, many students came and took away all the pets that had been trained in the store to make room for the training. Some chose to continue the training and some left with their pets to raise money.
After ten o 'clock, very few people came to the store.
Su Ping waited until half past ten. Still, there were no customers. He added a new batch of pets to the dummy training and then closed the store and went home.
At home, Su Lingyue was alone in the living room. Her mother was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's mom?"
"You came back too late. Mom couldn't stay up any longer. I told her to go to bed."
Su Lingyue saw Su Ping and stopped cultivating. She darted a glance at him and said, "The food is in the kitchen. Just put it in the microwave and spin it."
Su Ping nodded and went to wash his hands to heat up the food.
He had left a lot of food for the day. When he sat down at the table, Su Lingyue came over with a glass of water and sat down.
"Is your Inferno Dragon … still there?" Su Lingyue asked.
Su Ping looked up and darted a glance at her. "What? Do you want to see it?"
At first, Su Lingyue was interested. However, the question angered her. "What's there to see? I don't care. It's just an Inferno Dragon. I've seen pictures of it on the Internet." Su Lingyue was speechless.
Su Ping curled his lips slightly but did not refute.
Su Lingyue rolled her eyes and asked Su Ping, "Do you know that there's an exchange match at the academy today?"
Su Ping nodded and continued eating.
"I'll be participating in the match tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to come and watch?" Su Lingyue asked casually.
Su Ping was stunned and asked curiously, "Aren't you in the first year?"
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows. "So what? I'm the champion!"
"Oh, is that considered a coaching competition?"
"… It's a friendly match, a duel! What director?! "
"Oh."
Su Lingyue snorted angrily and went upstairs.
Su Ping suddenly thought of something and called out, "Wait!"
"What?" Su Lingyue turned around angrily.
Su Ping ignored her attitude and beckoned, "Come here."
Su Lingyue frowned. Although she was not happy with Su Ping's attitude, she still walked over unwillingly and said bluntly, "Out with it."
"Can't you be a good girl?"
Su Ping didn't like this sister of his, but he didn't want to argue with her. He summoned astral powers and the transparent "Primordial Water Armor" covering his body gradually shrank and turned into a translucent ball of water.
Su Lingyue stared at this strange scene with her eyes wide open. "What is this?"
"It's a protective suit." Su Ping casually said and handed the item to her. "I'll lend it to you for a while and you can return it to me tomorrow."
He had redeemed the Primordial Water Armor with his merit points when he was exploring the unexplored land. It could withstand physical and energy attacks below the eighth-rank and could be considered a powerful protective suit. It was a pity that he had been in the store all day long and hadn't been able to realize the true value of the armor.
"Is this a protective suit?" Su Lingyue was surprised. That spinning translucent ball of water was a protective suit?
But she did see the ball of water condensing around Su Ping's body.
"Where did you get this?" Su Lingyue couldn't help but ask curiously.
Su Ping answered grumpily, "Don't ask so many questions. Give it to me if you don't need it."
Su Lingyue didn't care about Su Ping's attitude. The brother and sister were used to each other's harsh words. She smiled and said, "Since you're so sincere about lending it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it!"
"Just for one day," Su Ping said casually.
"Hmm, as if I care."
Despite her words, Su Lingyue didn't give it back to Su Ping. She had never seen anything like this before and she wanted to study it.
Su Lingyue looked at the armor for a while but still couldn't figure it out. In the end, she asked Su Ping proudly, "How do I use this?"
Su Ping darted her a look and told her how to use the armor.
Su Lingyue tried to use astral powers at once. Soon, the translucent water armor turned into liquid and seeped into her sleeves through her fingers, covering her entire body.
At first, the armor was cold but soon, Su Lingyue's body temperature warmed up the thin armor.
Su Lingyue shuddered. She was surprised to find that the armor was very light. It covered her entire body but didn't feel heavy. It was very breathable, just like her skin. If she didn't pay attention to it, she would have forgotten about it.
Su Ping was relieved to see that she had put the armor on. He had beaten up those students from other schools but the exchange match was still going on. He was worried that those students would vent their anger on the other students. That was why he had lent her his armor.
"Okay, go to bed."
Su Ping finished his meal, got up, and went upstairs.
Su Lingyue was still trying to get a feel for the mystical item. She was surprised to hear that. She wanted to ask why he was lending it to her, but the words were on the tip of her tongue. She swallowed them back.
…
…
The next day, Su Ping and Su Lingyue went their separate ways after breakfast as usual. They didn't have much to say to each other.
Su Ping went to the store and saw several students waiting by the door. He went to open the door.
The old customers of the Phoenix Peak Academy came to pick up their pets. They thanked Su Ping again and again after seeing the pets' amazing changes. Then, they hurried back to the academy.
Tang Lang was the last one in line. He looked at Su Ping in confusion and asked, "Sir, why are they calling you Mr. Su? Are you a teacher?"
Su Ping answered, "Are you still training the Wing Beast today?"
Tang Lang nodded and looked at Su Ping in surprise. "You're a teacher? How is that possible? You're about my age, aren't you? "
Su Ping glared at him and said grumpily, "What's wrong with your eyes? Am I as old as you? I'm an 18-year-old handsome boy."
Tang Lang was stunned and almost vomited blood. He was only twenty-one years old. Was that considered old?
However, he was surprised by Su Ping's age. Only 18? He looked at Su Ping's appearance. Indeed, he was very young. The contours of his cheeks were not fully formed yet.
"Ha, ha." Tang Lang forced a smile.
Su Ping said, "Give me the money. One hundred thousand."
Tang Lang's face twitched but he paid Su Ping without hesitation. After Su Ping's training, his Wing Beast was almost as strong as his most powerful pet. It was definitely worth the money.
Considering the booming business of Su Ping's store, Tang Lang had planned to bring the news of Su Ping's store back to the academy. However, he didn't do that.
It was better to have fun alone than to have fun with others.
He wished that he could keep Su Ping as his sugar baby so that he could serve him alone.
He planned to report Su Ping's store to the teachers in the academy after he had trained Su Ping's store to a certain degree. By then, even if other people learned about it and went to Su Ping's store for training, it would be difficult for them to catch up with him.
Su Ping took the money. After Tang Lang left, he took the Wing Beast into the pet room and threw it into the training space. Then, he activated the dummy training. He sat in the store for a while longer. When no more customers came, he closed the door and went to the dragon king's heritage ground to continue his training.
Su Ping didn't take any Force Pellets but his astral powers had been increasing rapidly. He was about to reach the upper position of the fourth rank from the intermediate position.
At noon, Su Ping finished his lunch. He didn't see many customers in the store. He remembered what Su Lingyue and Dong Mingsong had said the night before. He heaved a sigh. He had to drop by and take a look.
He closed the store, bought some things from a cheap supermarket on the street, and rode to the academy.
Half an hour later, Su Ping arrived at the academy. The floor that was broken the day before had been repaired. Students of famous schools were agile.
Su Ping entered the academy and contacted Dong Mingsong. "I'm here. Where are they?"
It was noisy on the other side of the phone. Dong Mingsong's voice was loud and forceful. He didn't sound very pleasant. "We're at the No.1 Battle Stadium. Come over directly. It's the finals."
"Finals?"
Su Ping was surprised. The finals were coming so soon?
Didn't Su Lingyue say that she would participate in the competition in the afternoon? Why would she participate in the finals?
Or, had she already competed?
With doubts in mind, Su Ping sped up.
Su Ping soon found the No.1 Battle Stadium.
The No.1 Battle Stadium was the largest one. It was like a huge stadium that could accommodate a hundred thousand people.
Su Ping arrived at the No.1 Battle Stadium. The usually lively Battle Stadium seemed to be quiet.
The last time he was there, he could hear cheers from afar. But this time, there were no cheers. Only the sounds of fighting could be heard.
Su Ping locked his bike and went in.
The guards at the door didn't dare to stop Su Ping at all.
Su Ping entered the stadium and saw that it was packed with people. Almost all the seats were taken.
However, the atmosphere in the stadium was heavy. No one was cheering.
Su Ping looked down at the stage. He saw the ferocious Black Pit Dragon flapping its wings and stepping on another dragon's neck with its claws. The dragon was roaring threateningly.
The dragon that was being stepped on was Ye Hao's Thunder Basilisk.
Su Ping didn't expect that it would be the finals. By the looks of it, Ye Hao had lost.
Su Ping wasn't surprised by Ye Hao's defeat. After all, the Black Pit Dragon was of a higher rank than Ye Hao's Thunder Basilisk. The Black Pit Dragon had won in every aspect!
"Hey, has Su Lingyue's match started?" Su Ping asked a boy next to him.
The boy was focused on the stage. He glanced at Su Ping and then looked back at the stage. He sounded sad and angry. "Su Lingyue's match is over. So are the others. Damn it!"
Su Ping was surprised. "So, did she win or lose?"
"Win?" The boy turned around and glared at Su Ping. "How? They all lost. The Berserking Blade Academy is too cruel!"
After he vented his anger at Su Ping, he suddenly realized that Su Ping looked familiar. But he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Su Ping didn't expect that the match was already over and they had lost.
He patted the boy's shoulder and didn't say anything else. He took a look at the stage and soon found Su Lingyue's class. But he didn't see Su Lingyue among the many people in that class.
He thought that with the protection of the Water Armor, she should be fine.
But he was still worried. He hurried over.
