"It's my turn."
Su Lingyue stood up at once. She was nervous.
"One pass is enough. Leave some room for others," Su Ping said.
Su Lingyue produced a forced smile. Su Ping seemed to have more confidence in her than she did in herself.
"I understand."
"Just use your Phantom Flame Beast for now. Don't use your full strength unless it's absolutely necessary," Su Ping reminded her.
Su Lingyue nodded. She knew how to hide her strength.
Fei Yanbo heard Su Ping's words and couldn't help but cast a glance at the girl. Su Ping seemed to be very confident that the girl would be qualified. But no matter how Fei Yanbo saw it, the girl was merely at the fourth rank.
Even if Su Ping had a powerful battle pet that was two ranks higher than him, a sixth-rank battle pet, he might not be able to pass the test. After all, there were a large number of Phantom Bee Beasts and other participants. They might come up with some dirty tricks.
Luo Fengtian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and sized up his sister.
It was said that like father, like son. He wondered how his sister would perform with such a big brother.
The girl with a ponytail sitting next to Luo Fengtian raised her eyebrows when she noticed that Luo Fengtian was paying attention to her sister. A glint of anger flashed past her eyes but it disappeared in a second. She was still as indifferent as ever, but the coldness on her face had deepened.
"Good luck!"
Fei Yanbo smiled.
For the sake of Su Ping, the other students cheered her on.
Su Lingyue took a deep breath and thanked them. Then, she went to the stage.
Su Ping glanced at the other seats on the stage, trying to see if there were any other family members. That was the only thing he cared about. Otherwise, he would have gone back to his store to take a nap.
Soon, Su Lingyue arrived. People from the other staging areas went down as well. When the time came, they all went into the seal.
Su Lingyue looked around. Only when she was standing in the middle of the stage did she realize how big the venue was. She was like a grain of sand, insignificant.
As the others continued to summon the Phantom Flame Beast, Su Lingyue opened up a space and let out the Phantom Flame Beast.
As soon as the Phantom Flame Beast jumped out, it was frightened by the large number of people around. The Phantom Flame Beast crouched on Su Lingyue's shoulder and looked around vigilantly.
Su Lingyue found a place where the crowd was less crowded and kept an eye out for other participants.
…
"Is that Su Lingyue?"
"Hmph, it's her. She's just like the information."
"Look at her immature appearance. She's clearly a virgin. Let's go. We'll take advantage of the chaos in the swarm to get rid of her."
Among the participants, three young men with outstanding temperaments were gathered together. They were searching for Su Lingyue in the crowd. Immediately, they moved closer to her.
"Once we get rid of her, how can that lousy store compete with us? When we return to the family, Uncle Liu Yuan and the others will thank us. We can also show our faces to the family head. We can be considered to have made a great contribution to the family."
"The people in the slums are all trash. Look around, they are all weaklings. Choosing to participate in the competition here was the right choice."
"Keep your voice down. Don't let her hear you."
The three of them walked together with their pets as cover. They slowly moved closer to the girl who was standing at the edge of the seal.
The others saw that the three of them seemed to be on the same side. They cursed and stayed far away from them. In the preliminaries, if they could get into the same group as their friends, they would be able to cooperate with each other. The chances of them getting a pass would be greatly increased.
However, the list was random. It was all up to luck to meet a friend.
The three of them had obviously walked through eight lifetimes of dogshit luck.
That was what everyone was thinking.
Soon, the test began.
Buzzing!
All of a sudden, the Phantom Bees hovering above the seal shrieked and swooped down. Countless poisonous stingers were thrown out like arrows. The black spots were like raindrops that swept over the participants.
Many participants put up astral shields or used their pets to protect themselves.
"Use the Demonic Flames!" Su Lingyue commanded the Phantom Flame Beast at once. At the same time, she also put up an astral shield to protect herself.
The Phantom Flame Beast jumped up from Su Lingyue's shoulder and expanded in the air. On its back, which was like a black cat, were two small and short wings. As the Phantom Flame Beast's body expanded, the wings were flapping.
The Phantom Flame Beast's belly swelled up. As if inhaling, the Phantom Flame Beast breathed out the poisonous stingers.
A puff of black flames swept over. That was the Demonic Flames, the flames used by pets of the demon family. The Demonic Flames were more lethal than regular flames and elemental flames.
The poisonous needles that were flying toward the Phantom Flame Beast were instantly burned by the flames. The poisonous liquid on the needles evaporated, and the tips of the poisonous needles were also burned dry. They landed on the Phantom Flame Beast's fur and fell off without causing any damage.
Su Lingyue was relieved.
She told the Phantom Flame Beast to stay in front of her and wait for the Phantom Bee to come closer so that she could capture it.
The Phantom Bees were too fast. She couldn't tell which Phantom Bee was carrying the entry pass, so she had no choice but to find a few more.
…
At the staging area.
"Your sister is good. She can control this fifth-rank pet of the demon family so easily." Fei Yanbo had sharp eyes. He could tell the rank of the Phantom Flame Beast right away. He turned to Su Ping with a smile as Su Lingyue fended off the Phantom Bee's first round of attacks.
Su Ping replied with a noncommittal smile.
While Charcoal was a bad-tempered pet of the demon family, it had been trained by Fei Yanbo since it was a child. They had developed a deep bond. Even at the sixth-rank, Charcoal was still easy to control.
At the same time, the Phantom Bees dashed into the crowd. The wind blades were waving around, injuring many participants.
Su Lingyue stared at several Phantom Bees, waiting for them to come closer. She was about to tell the Phantom Flame Beast to take action when all of a sudden, she felt a chill on her back. She turned pale.
Bang!
The astral shield on her was shattered.
When she turned around, she saw a ferocious beast claw coming at her. It was so fast that she didn't have time to react. With a bang, she was hit. The claw swallowed her and she smashed into the seal.
The Phantom Flame Beast that was about to attack the Phantom Bees was stunned by this sudden attack. However, when it saw Su Lingyue being knocked away, the Phantom Flame Beast's eyes turned as red as blood all of a sudden!
Roar!
The Phantom Flame Beast's body expanded several times, revealing its true form. Raging flames were burning around the Phantom Flame Beast and it was emitting a strong killing intent. The seven or eight Phantom Bees that were about to pounce on the Phantom Flame Beast were scared away.
"What?"
The three young men standing behind the ferocious pet that was attacking Su Lingyue were surprised by the Phantom Flame Beast's killing intent. They didn't know that a fifth-rank Phantom Flame Beast could be so intimidating.
"Guaranteed championship? That's all there is to it. Take care of this thing," the young man in the middle said coldly.
The other two nodded. They summoned their pets to attack the Phantom Flame Beast as well.
Soon, they saw that the Phantom Flame Beast was just standing there in a daze. The Phantom Flame Beast was torn into pieces by their pets.
"What? It looks so intimidating but it is so weak …" The young man in the middle sneered. But the smile froze on his face. He was covered in cold sweat. He remembered the Phantom Flame Beast's must-have skill, Incubus!
Bang!
He felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was clear and deep. The pain went straight to the depth of his soul!
The Phantom Flame Beast that was torn into pieces was right in front of him. He didn't know when, but the Phantom Flame Beast was right in front of him. The Phantom Flame Beast's red eyes made his hair stand on end!
What a horrifying killing intent!
Bang!
Blood spilled out from the young man's shoulder. His arms were torn apart.
Next to him, the other two young men were knocked away almost at the same time. The Phantom Flame Beast was attacking the three young men and their pets at a speed much faster than a fifth-rank beast.
They couldn't fight back at all!
There was no room for them to fight back!
At the staging area.
Fei Yanbo and the others could not believe what they had just seen.
It never occurred to them that Su Lingyue would be attacked. What was more surprising was that the Phantom Flame Beast, which had been behaving normally, could be so horrifying. The Phantom Flame Beast was not at the fifth-rank. It was at the peak of the sixth-rank!
Su Ping cast a glance at the three people who had attacked Su Lingyue. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes. Clearly, there were other people around Su Lingyue who were easier to bully. But the three of them had targeted Su Lingyue. They were so vicious that they wanted to kill her. This was not a simple competition.
Killing intent was rising in Su Ping's heart. He wanted to know which family those three people were from.
As for Su Lingyue who had been knocked away, Su Ping could tell that she was fine after one look. After all, she was wearing the Water Armor that he had given her. It could protect her from all elemental and physical attacks below the eighth-rank.
As for the three people, Su Ping could tell right away that they were all at the fifth-rank. Their pets were at the sixth-rank as well. If they were from the major families, then they must be marginal disciples.
At the moment, the infuriated Phantom Flame Beast was beating the three young men's pets to the brink of death. Some of the pets' limbs were broken and they were disabled. Su Ping would have to spend a lot of money to heal them.
Su Ping was not worried about the Phantom Flame Beast's strength. After all, the Phantom Flame Beast had been trained in his store.
