"The most important thing is to have a steady mind!
"As long as you're thick-skinned enough, no one can hurt you.
"If you lose your temper over such a trivial matter, won't you be led by the nose by others in the future?"
Su Ping pretended to be calm and collected as he lectured Su Lingyue. At the same time, he half-opened one of his eyes and cast a sidelong glance at the seemingly smart but actually simple-minded girl. "Go back and get some rest. If you're really angry, go and train.
Turn your anger into motivation. You can turn other people's attacks into nutrients for your improvement. Go ahead. "
"Hmm, nice words!"
Su Lingyue was not in the mood to listen to Su Ping's sarcastic remarks since she couldn't find any comfort or help from him. She turned around and left.
She didn't like what Su Ping had said but she knew that there was no other way. Arguing and explaining would only make the rumors worse. Only when she won the championship could all the rumors and slander be put to rest.
Su Ping looked away after Su Lingyue left the store. This was a test for Su Lingyue. She had to make it through on her own. As a powerful warrior, apart from strength, she had to have the mentality of a powerful warrior. Otherwise, she would be nothing more than a pile of mud after a setback.
Su Ping closed the door and went back to the test room. He told the Dark Dragon Hound that was resting on the ground to continue the training.
Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, there were only a few regular customers.
Su Ping immersed himself in cultivation and asked Tang Ruyan to take care of the registration. The pets that needed training could be done by the dummy. There was no need for professional training.
The night passed.
The next day, Su Ping took Su Lingyue out in person to the venue in case she was attacked on the way.
"Drive slowly. Be careful."
Under their mother's guidance, the siblings went to the venue.
That day was the second day of the selection at the branch venues. According to the schedule, the day before was the preliminary round and the day before was the official competition. Everyone would have a chance to go on stage by themselves.
Besides, there would be audience members in the venue today.
Last night, the names of the finalists had been announced in each branch arena.
There were a total of twelve branch arenas, and each branch arena had around seven to eight thousand participants!
As for the two slums' branch arenas, the number of people who had been selected exceeded five digits, amounting to more than ten thousand!
According to the screening test, the average probability of passing was almost one in ten, or even lower. This meant that there were at least one hundred thousand people participating in the two branch venues in the slums!
Now that the preliminary stage was over, the second stage of the branch arena would be held today. It would last for five days, and only a hundred spots would be left in the end!
This was a one-in-a-hundred advancement!
These 100 people would be selected from the branch venue. They would represent the area where the branch venue was located and head to the final venue of the preliminaries in the base city to compete for the championship!
…
There were still many people on the road today, even more than yesterday.
By the time Su Ping and Su Lingyue arrived at the venue, there was already a sea of people outside. Like before, Su Ping took Su Lingyue over the crowd and into the stadium.
Inside the stadium, there was also a sea of people cheering and cheering.
The waiting area from the day before was filled with audience members today. Since it was an open competition, they had let the audience in and they could make money from the ticket sales.
The huge stage from the day before was no longer there. Instead, there were eight small arenas. One could tell at first glance that these arenas were temporarily built by pets of the stone family. Although they were called small arenas, they were not small at all. They were as big as several basketball courts when it came to individual arenas.
Su Lingyue tugged at Su Ping's sleeve and said, "That's the waiting area for our contestants."
Su Ping took a look and took her there.
There were several areas for the audience. The waiting area for the contestants was actually the VIP seats in the front row. It was close to the stage and the contestants could get on the stage quickly.
Outside the contestants' seating area, there were iron railings and guards in bodyguard uniforms standing guard.
Su Lingyue was stopped by the guards. She had to show her badge at once before she could get in. As for Su Ping, he was stopped outside the waiting area.
Su Ping didn't make things difficult for the two guards. He knew that he would be able to get into the waiting area if he used Astral Telekinesis and pretended to be a titled battle pet warrior. That being said, he didn't want to attract too much attention.
"Be careful." Su Ping reminded her. He would stay behind and make sure that no one would be able to attack Su Lingyue from the waiting area. As for the stage, he would have to leave it to Su Lingyue.
"Yes." Su Lingyue nodded. She knew that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She could not afford to fall here.
Su Lingyue didn't go far. She found a place nearby and sat down.
Su Ping was about to find a place nearby when he noticed that the seats near the waiting area were all taken.
He looked around and was about to leave when he saw that there were no empty seats.
"Mr. Su?"
All of a sudden, someone called him in surprise.
Su Ping was surprised. He turned around. It was Fei Yanbo whom he had met the day before.
They ran into each other again today!
"Mr. Su, come here. There's a seat here." Fei Yanbo waved at Su Ping and patted a young man's shoulder. "Get up. Make some space for us."
The young man was about 15 or 16 years old. He was not happy about it but he moved his butt out of the way.
Su Ping walked over. He would feel safer if he was closer to Su Lingyue. In case the Liu family was really bold enough to send some gangsters to attack Su Lingyue, he would be able to intervene in time.
Fei Yanbo moved his butt out of the way as well. A beautiful woman who he didn't know was frowning.
"It's not a big place. Don't mind it," Fei Yanbo said with a smile.
"It's okay." Su Ping sat down in the middle. His impression of Fei Yanbo had improved. He made some small talk. "Are you here to watch the match as well?"
Fei Yanbo smiled. "Fengtian and the others are right over there." He gestured with his lips.
Su Ping looked over. He saw Luo Fengtian and the others who had been selected the day before. They seemed to be much more comfortable away from Fei Yanbo. They were sitting together, talking and laughing. They were full of youthful vigor.
Su Ping was moved by the atmosphere on campus. He wanted to be a student again and go back to school. But he was old. He would never be able to experience the naivety and innocence on campus.
"Mr. Su, we are destined to meet," Fei Yanbo said with a smile.
Su Ping smiled as well. The venue was spacious and there were several areas. It was fate that they could run into each other.
Su Ping looked at the young man whose butt was half occupied by him and who seemed to be hostile. He asked Fei Yanbo, "Is Devour … your son?"
"Yes, he is my youngest son." Fei Yanbo smiled and said to the young man, "Fei-er, call me uncle. You have to learn from him. He is young but he is a titled battle pet warrior."
