Chapter 186

The middle-aged man with the whiskers was surprised.

He didn't know that they had killed a lot of beasts, and most of them were at the seventh or eighth rank.

The bearded middle-aged man's complexion slightly changed when he saw a few demonic beast materials that were emitting energy fluctuations. These materials were all from Rank Nine demonic beasts. Among them, there were a few breast-sized scales that looked familiar to him.

"Those are from a Scale Bone Beast at the intermediate position of the ninth-rank." A middle-aged man at the titled rank walked over.

The Scale Bone Beast was not weak among the ninth-rank beasts. It had a middle-rank bloodline. Judging from the size of the scales, the Scale Bone Beast was an adult and at its prime. How could this team have abilities at the intermediate position of the ninth-rank?

The materials and energy crystals attracted the attention of the other titled battle pet warriors. They gathered around to see what was going on.

The middle-aged man with the whiskers turned pale when he heard what the titled battle pet warrior said. A beast at the intermediate position of the ninth-rank. Even if he were to face it alone, he wouldn't be able to defeat it. It was obvious that the team leader and the two master battle pet warriors that had died in the team were all powerful.

"Hey, buddy, can I take a look at your backpack?" A titled battle pet warrior asked Su Ping with a smile.

He had sensed some energy fluctuations from Su Ping's backpack. Those energy fluctuations were different from other things, which piqued his interest.

Su Ping took out his backpack and poured out the contents.

Apart from food and other miscellaneous items, there were some scattered energy crystals, some beast materials, the Astral Spirit Fruit, and the Soul Lamp.

The titled battle pet warriors glanced over and automatically skipped over the energy crystals and beast materials. Those items were precious but they were used to seeing them. Instead, the Astral Spirit Fruit and the Soul Lamp caught their attention.

"That fruit … I think I've seen it somewhere."

A titled battle pet warrior with a scratch on his face said.

A voluptuous woman suddenly moved her eyes away from the fruit and said to Su Ping, "Hey, buddy, this fruit seems delicious. Are you interested in selling it to me?"

Su Ping raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest. "What are you going to use to buy it?"

"What do you want? Money? Or treasures? "The woman seemed to be interested in selling the fruit to Su Ping. She couldn't help but smile.

Su Ping asked with a smile, "How much is it?"

"How about a million?" the woman asked casually.

Su Ping grinned. "I can think about it if you add three zeros at the end."

"Three zeros?" The smile in the woman's eyes disappeared. A glint of coldness flashed across her face. "Buddy, it's just a fruit. I just want to try it. A million is not a low price. Don't miss this chance."

The others sneered at Su Ping's words. They thought Su Ping was crazy about money. He didn't even know what kind of fruit it was. Even the rarest fruits could be sold for over a hundred million.

Su Ping didn't know if the woman was playing dumb or if she really didn't know. He was not in the mood to think about it. Later, when he handed the fruit over to the machine, all the information in the database would be compared. He would be able to tell what the fruit was. "This is the Astral Spirit Fruit. I don't know if you've heard about it. Anyone below the ninth rank can directly advance by one rank!

"The effect is the best for those at the upper position of the ninth rank. The fruit can directly reach the peak of the titled rank. Do you think one billion is expensive?"

"Astral Spirit Fruit?!"

"That thing?!"

The titled battle pet warriors turned pale as soon as Su Ping mentioned "Astral Spirit Fruit."

There was not a single moment that they didn't want to improve their strength. Naturally, they knew about the famous Astral Spirit Fruit. However, the fruit was extremely rare and could only be found in some unknown areas in space fractures. It could only be found by luck.

They didn't know that the fruit in front of them was that mysterious and rare Astral Spirit Fruit!

The woman who made the offer was angry. She didn't expect that Su Ping would know about this fruit.

"This is the Astral Spirit Fruit. Tsk, tsk …"

The titled battle pet warriors were envious. That was a piece of treasure that could improve their strength by a small margin. At their rank, to improve their strength by a small margin would not only require years of hard work, but also some treasures that contained energy. Only in this way could they achieve such a feat.

"It seems that Lady Feng has recognized this fruit. No wonder she is willing to spend one million on it." A man with a crew cut mocked her. She wanted to buy the Astral Spirit Fruit with one million? If it weren't for the fact that she had recognized it and sold it, she would have suffered a huge loss.

The woman called Lady Feng snorted. "If I had recognized it, I would have offered one hundred million directly."

When the others heard this, they all chuckled in their hearts. Directly bidding a hundred million, wasn't that the same as giving away three hundred taels of silver? Even the person who said it didn't believe it himself.

"Buddy, I'll take this fruit."

An elegant titled battle pet warrior who had been silent all this time said with a smile, "We'll do as you said. One billion."

The others darted a look at him, but they weren't surprised.

"Brother Shuhai, you're so generous. You're willing to pay one billion just like that. If it were me, I would be reluctant."

"I don't mind giving this fruit to Brother Shuhai. Brother Shuhai, you can reach the upper position of the titled rank after taking this fruit. Maybe you can catch up with Venerable the Blade after a few more years of cultivation."

"Don't. You can't say that," the elegant man said at once.

He turned to Su Ping with a smile. "My name is Qin Shuhai. You must be from the Longjiang Base City, right? What a coincidence. I'm also from the Longjiang Base City. We're from the same hometown."

"Qin Shuhai …"

Luo Guxue, Ye Chenshan, and the others turned pale when they heard the name.

Ye Chenshan asked in a low voice, "Are you the 'Mad Poet' from the Qin Family?"

"You're flattering me." Qin Shuhai smiled.

Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan looked at each other. Luo Guxue said, "Mr. Qin, Qin Yuanfeng and I are from the same school. I often heard Mr. Yuanfeng talk about you. He said that you're the person he respects the most."

Qin Shuhai looked at her in surprise. Then, he smiled. "I didn't know that we were related. Yuanfeng is of the same generation as me. It's just that he's not as talented. But he's working hard. I believe he's about to become a titled battle pet warrior."

Luo Guxue was speechless. Qin Yuanfeng was a man of virtue and prestige at the academy. He was admired by many students. She didn't expect that Qin Shuhai would say that he was not as talented. The other students would be dumbfounded if they heard that.

"Mr. Yuanfeng should be here soon. He's here as well. Have you met him?" Luo Guxue asked.

Qin Shuhai shook his head. "I have to stay here to guard the security check. But since he's here, I'll be able to meet him when he comes out from the Mysterious Realm."

"Sure." Luo Guxue nodded.

Compared to Qin Shuhai, she was a junior, both in terms of age and strength.

The others were helpless to see that Qin Shuhai was catching up with Su Ping and the others. They knew that they wouldn't be able to fight for Qin Shuhai even if they wanted to.

Qin Shuhai asked Luo Guxue, "Who's in charge here? Since this thing has been revealed, I suggest you sell it. After all, this is an extremely rare artifact. Even if I get it, I have to use it immediately. Otherwise, some people will probably covet it."

Luo Guxue understood that. She wasn't afraid of being stolen, but she was afraid of being coveted.

"It's all thanks to Mentor Su that I was able to obtain this item. I'll leave it to Mentor Su to decide."

Luo Guxue turned around and looked at Su Ping with respect. Compared to the respect she had for Qin Shuhai, she also admired Su Ping. After all, Su Ping had reached the titled rank at such a young age. His future potential would not be any worse than Qin Shuhai's.

Qin Shuhai was surprised by Luo Guxue's words and the look in her eyes. He followed her gaze and realized that the Mr. Su she was talking about was Su Ping, the youngest of the team.

The one in charge here was the one with the weakest aura and the youngest?
