"Bang!"
On the stage, the enraged Phantom Flame Beast spat out a mouthful of flames and smashed one of the young men away.
That young man's chest had been burned into a bloody mess. He was barely breathing and lying on the ground. It just so happened that the Phantom Bees were attracted by the smell of blood. The Phantom Bees pounced on the young man and wielded several blades of wind.
With a crack, the young man was unable to fight back. His neck was cut off and his body was cut open. He died on the spot!
The other two young men turned pale with fright. They turned around and ran away at once.
The Phantom Flame Beast was about to go after them when it received a call. The red and ferocious look in its eyes faded away. The Phantom Flame Beast opened its black and white eyes and turned around. Tears welled up in the Phantom Flame Beast's eyes when it saw the girl standing up again.
Meow!
The Phantom Flame Beast almost flew over. Its body shrank and it bumped into the girl's arms.
Su Lingyue hugged the Phantom Flame Beast. She could feel the excitement, anxiety, and fear in the Phantom Flame Beast's consciousness. She was touched. This was the bond of a pet, the only companion she could rely on in a battle.
She held the Phantom Flame Beast and kissed its fur, not caring about the blood and dirt on its fur.
When she heard the buzzing sound again, she looked up again. The two young men who were running away had disappeared into the crowd. Su Lingyue turned pale when she saw the headless body on the ground. The Phantom Bees had killed the young man but she was the one who had killed him. She had indirectly killed the young man.
She had been trained in the barren area and had seen blood and tears. Even so, she still found it hard to describe how she felt when someone died because of her.
"He only has himself to blame." She comforted herself inwardly. Then, she shifted her gaze and looked at the countdown on the big screen outside the barrier. When she saw that there was not much time left, she immediately ordered the Phantom Flame Beast to capture the Phantom Bees.
Meow!
The Phantom Flame Beast acted like a good boy. It flapped its short wings and flew toward the Phantom Bees that were dancing in the air.
Su Lingyue watched as the Phantom Bees were captured by the Phantom Bees. All of a sudden, she felt a chill on her back. She touched her back and realized that she had been sneakily attacked. Her clothes had been torn open.
Thinking about the sneak attack, she felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't help but look at the waiting area. If she didn't borrow his Water Armor, perhaps the one lying on the ground right now would be her …
For the first time, she deeply felt that human life was so worthless. These people wanted to take her life!
…
After the countdown ended, the barrier was opened. The medical team formed by the Adorkable Grasses quickly entered the arena and carried out the contestants who could still be treated. The staff in charge of the arena went forward to verify the contestants who had obtained the entry pass.
Without a doubt, Su Lingyue had made it to the next round.
She listened to Su Ping and only took one entry pass.
Looking at her torn clothes, the staff asked if she needed treatment. Su Lingyue shook her head and thanked the staff with a smile.
Su Lingyue went back to the staging area with the other contestants after her name was entered into the list of candidates.
"Miss Su, no wonder you're Mr. Su's sister. You live up to your reputation!"
As soon as Su Lingyue came back, Fei Yanbo praised her with a smile. He was flattering her a little. Of course, the one he was flattering was the one next to him.
Seeing that their teacher had taken the lead, the other students hurried to compliment Su Lingyue with flattering smiles. The one who had defeated Su Lingyue at the exchange match felt embarrassed. After all, back then, he had defeated this girl with ease. If he were to compliment her, it would seem that he was not saying what he meant …
That being said, Su Lingyue's Phantom Flame Beast's performance was indeed impressive. It was not inferior to their pets at all. As the saying went, a scholar who had been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. He humbly complimented Su Lingyue.
Luo Fengtian gazed at Su Lingyue. He was as calm as ever and said nothing.
The girl with a ponytail sitting next to Luo Fengtian looked at Su Lingyue up and down with interest. Su Lingyue was two years younger than her. That being said, the Phantom Flame Beast was close to the seventh-rank when it was enraged.
Su Lingyue was quite impressive to be able to control such a pet when she was at the fourth rank.
Su Lingyue thanked them with a smile. She turned to look at Su Ping, only to find that there was no trace of a smile on Su Ping's face. Instead, there was coldness and displeasure. Su Lingyue had known Su Ping for many years. At this moment, she could tell that Su Ping was targeting her.
She bit her lips and slowly sat down next to Su Ping. "Thank you for the combat suit …"
Su Ping asked coldly, "Why didn't you kill all of them?"
"Eh?" Su Lingyue was surprised. That was what Su Ping cared about.
Fei Yanbo and the other students were surprised. The smiles disappeared from their faces. They could tell that Su Ping was angry and they all knew the reason. They didn't continue to praise the girl.
"Well …" Su Lingyue didn't know how to explain. She didn't know that this would anger Su Ping.
She tried to figure out what she was thinking. She couldn't bear to do it? She was angry about the sneak attack. But she couldn't kill anyone in a fit of rage. She didn't think it was necessary …
"Without the combat suit, you would have been the one dead."
Su Ping didn't have a cheeky smile on his face. He stared at her coldly. "If you were dead, who would seek justice for you? It's wrong to hurt others, but it's even worse to allow others to hurt you! You're lucky that you're still alive. But you won't be so lucky a second time! "
Su Lingyue blushed at being scolded in public. She was about to argue with Su Ping when she saw the cold look in his eyes. She swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
She was stunned.
For the first time, she realized that this frivolous guy had such a sharp and terrifying look in his eyes!
His gaze was so sharp that it was as if he had killed someone and tasted their blood!
His look was even colder and sharper than the old pioneers and warriors she had met in the barren area!
How come …
She was confused. As far as she could remember, Su Ping had become stronger but he spent most of his time in the store. He was lazy and careless all day long. He didn't look like a powerful warrior at all. But at this moment, she realized that wasn't the case.
It seemed that … he had never been serious.
Su Ping looked at her coldly. The sharpness in his eyes faded away, replaced by calmness and indifference. "The ones who attacked you are most likely competitors of the store. Their goal isn't just to devour you, but also me. Once you die in the preliminaries, the store's reputation will plummet. They will take advantage of the situation to strike. If I'm as weak as they think, they will wipe us all out. After us, it will be mom and dad, all of them!"
He said it casually and calmly.
Su Lingyue was stunned.
Her expression changed again and again. She didn't think that deeply before. She just couldn't bear to see Su Ping die.
But after hearing what Su Ping said, she realized how foolish she had been to be soft-hearted!
She would have hurt Su Ping and her family!
She bit her lips slightly. Invading her family was something she would never forgive.
"I know I'm wrong …"
She lowered her head and bit her lips. She wasn't just saying those words to Su Ping, but also to herself deep in her heart.
Su Ping looked at her. The coldness in his eyes was gone. He had to push her. She would have to step out of the ivory tower and step into society on her own. She would have to fall many times before she could grow up.
In the cultivation sites, even a wild beast would know how to ambush and take revenge, not to mention how treacherous people were.
Su Ping had suffered losses before. He knew that a dead worm would not fall down. He had to grind its bones and scatter its ashes.
"Let's go. Let's go and find out who is behind them." Su Ping stood up. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes. His previous words were not only meant to intimidate Su Lingyue and to encourage her to grow up. Half of it was true.
If they wanted to compete in business, then they would compete in business.
If they wanted to compete in pet training, then they would compete in pet training.
He could understand the competition between peers. No one was right and no one was wrong. It was all about benefits.
But since they weren't going to compete in a formal way, he was curious to see how powerful those people were!
Su Lingyue stood up at once after hearing Su Ping's words. Her attitude was completely different from before.
Fei Yanbo couldn't help but cast a glance at Su Ping. He didn't know that apart from his talent, this young man was also so ruthless. He was a fierce and ambitious person.
The other students kept quiet out of fear. Su Ping had left a deep impression on them, especially when they were fighting at the gate of Fengshan University. They had never seen anything like this in their lives.
He was definitely a freak.
Those guys were unlucky to sneak up on this guy's sister.
They felt sorry for the two lucky survivors. At the same time, they were curious about the store that Su Ping had mentioned. They didn't think that a talented person like Su Ping would have anything to do with a store. Shouldn't people like Su Ping cultivate in seclusion?
"Mr. Su, I'll go with you." Fei Yanbo stood up. He wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Su Ping. After all, his students had finished the preliminaries. There was nothing more to watch.
Su Ping didn't say no. He let them go.
Su Ping and Su Lingyue walked down the corridor to the stage.
Fei Yanbo stood up. Luo Fengtian said, "Sir, I'll go with you."
The girl with the ponytail stood up as well. "Mr. Fei, I want to go with you."
"Sir, let's go."
Fei Yanbo looked at them and frowned. He had no choice but to say, "Just watch. Don't talk."
Luo Fengtian nodded.
The other students were relieved since Fei Yanbo had acquiesced. They were curious about the relationship between those who had offended Su Ping and Su Ping.
