Chapter 310

The next day.

The Elite League had officially begun.

Su Ping had to go out that day to take Su Lingyue to the venue. He had no choice but to appoint Joanna as the "acting store manager." Of course, this was just a verbal authorization. The system hadn't verified it yet.

Joanna's only role was to open the door and receive the customers who came to pick up their pets and return them. She could also receive some customers who came to train their pets and act as a cashier.

After all, that was what an employee of the store was supposed to do. It was just that Su Ping had taken on all those jobs himself.

Now that Joanna was here, Su Ping could leave the store even if he had to. The store could still operate. However, if he wanted to train pets, he would have to open up the cultivation sites himself. That was the core secret of the store.

Soon, Su Ping drove Su Lingyue to the venue uptown.

That venue was built in the Kings District.

Just by the name, one could tell that this district was not to be messed with. The Kings District was the economic link of the uptown area. It was the most prosperous district, apart from the first district where the government officials lived.

Every inch of land here was worth its weight in gold. Rich businessmen were everywhere. A few random attacks could kill a bunch of rich people.

The city was strictly controlled and under surveillance. Now that they had won the title of the venue for the venue, the economy of the store would increase.

A large number of cars were congested on the streets of the Kings District. Traffic jams were common here. After all, every rich family had a car, and more than one. The civilians who lived and worked there were all petty bourgeoisie. It was easy for them to buy a low-level car. Besides, the lower their social status was, the more they liked to drive.

Even if it was only 200 meters away from home, they would want to drive to buy groceries.

Now that there were more contestants and people rushing to this place, the traffic jam on the road was even more serious.

"There are many more people today than yesterday."

Su Ping drove the chariot past a road with fewer cars. He shook his head as he looked at the motionless cars on the side of the road.

"More than yesterday? You were here yesterday? "Su Lingyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was surprised.

"Yes."

Su Ping stepped on the gas and sped up.

Some of the cars on the side of the road were angrily honking their horns, while others craned their necks to look out the windows.

"Are you guys going or not?"

"What are you waiting for? Damn it. Did some female driver stall the car again?"

"Honey, why don't you go to the side road? There are no cars there!"

"That's a special shortcut for explorers and the big shots. Cars with ordinary license plates like ours will be kicked off immediately and our licenses will be revoked forever."

"No way. Why can pioneers use it? They are just killing some demonic beasts outside. What's the big deal?" "That's right.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer."

…

Soon, Su Ping arrived at the main venue along the highway.

It had to be said that it was worthy of being the main venue of the Uptown area. Outside the venue was a large area filled with people. In this area, there were many amusement facilities, as well as some large high-definition screens. One could watch the live broadcast of the battles in the arena from outside the venue.

Su Lingyue had thought that she had been through a lot. But at this moment, she suddenly felt nervous.

She looked up and saw a crowd of people. She became nervous at the thought that all those people would be able to see her fight when she went on stage. They would be able to see all the details and flaws.

Su Ping didn't say anything to comfort her. He told her to adjust herself.

"This way."

He took Su Lingyue to the passageway for participants. There were fewer people there.

The one guarding the passageway was an advanced battle pet warrior. He was young and vigorous. One look and Su Ping could tell that he was not to be messed with.

After checking Su Lingyue's ID, the two of them were allowed to go in.

"Do you know the rules of today's selection?" Su Ping asked as they walked through the passageway.

Su Lingyue nodded. "First, we'll have to pass a score test. The top 1000 will be selected and the other 400 will be eliminated. Then, the real selection will begin. The first round will be a match, similar to the preliminary round."

Su Ping nodded. It seemed that she had done her homework.

"You have to pay attention to the score test before the match," Su Ping said, "This is the only place where the Liu family can play tricks."

The score test wouldn't be held in front of the audience. It would be conducted by professionals and machines.

That would make it easy for shady dealings to occur.

Su Lingyue's eyes glinted. Only then did she remember that she had to be on guard against other people's dirty tricks.

"Got it. I will be careful."

Su Ping nodded to her. Before he came, he had given her the Soul Lamp he got from the dragon scale land. The Soul Lamp could protect her from spiritual attacks.

He had a better substitute. He didn't need the Soul Lamp. He could give it to her just in case.

…

There was a test room in front of the passageway.

All the participants who came in through the passageway would pass the test in the test room.

They had fought hard to make it to the Top 100 from the branch venues. However, in the test room, once their score was out of the top 1000, they would be eliminated and their names would be removed from the list.

Therefore, for most people, making it to the Top 100 from the branch venues would be the highlight of their lives.

"Unauthorized personnel, please do not enter."

The guard in front of the test room stopped Su Ping in his way.

Su Ping looked at the test room. He was hesitating.

Su Lingyue could tell what Su Ping was thinking. She didn't want him to get into trouble because of her. She grinned. "It's okay. I will take care of it myself!"

She clenched her fists and tried to act cute.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. It was rare to see this girl acting cute.

At the same time, he felt he saw a glimmer of hope …

"Sure. Be careful. Use the dragon directly," Su Ping said.

His words made the guard who stopped him raise his eyebrows.

Su Lingyue nodded.

"I will wait for you. We will enter the venue together." With that said, Su Ping turned around and left.

Su Lingyue waited until Su Ping was some distance away. Then, she took a deep breath and stepped into the test room.

There was a passageway leading to the underground. The light was dim. Su Lingyue became nervous. Su Lingyue went down the spiral passageway. She saw dozens of people gathered in the light. They were all young, but they were four or five years older than her. Most of them were in their twenties.

"Are they all participants?" Su Lingyue had an idea. She went to the back of the crowd.

Those people were all waiting in line. There was an advanced battle pet warrior guarding the entrance. Every now and then, he would receive a message from his earpiece, telling the people in front of him to go in one by one.

Everyone was waiting to go in and take the test.

Su Lingyue went to the back of the crowd.

Boom!

Not long afterward, there was a sudden noise from underground. It seemed to be an earthquake.

Many of the contestants were shocked. Star Shields and Energy Armors immediately appeared on the bodies of more than ten of them with fierce auras.

The guards at the entrance were also shocked. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Is this … a test?"

"What a loud noise. My god. Can't the shock absorption of the test be reduced?"

"Who is being tested?"

"Monsters …"

"I think it's … someone from the Qin family?"

The participants were discussing in a low voice. All of them were surprised.

Standing in the crowd, Su Lingyue felt the pressure. After all, she had been recommended by Su Ping to be the champion. Strictly speaking, everyone there was her opponent.

But for some reason, she felt like she was a lamb in a pack of wolves at this moment. Everyone around her was at a higher realm than her.

"I am fierce, very, very fierce …" Su Lingyue tried to cheer herself up.

"Little girl, what did you say?" A strong young man looked at her.

Su Lingyue was startled. She waved her hand at once. "No, no, nothing."

Soon, the people in front of her finished their tests. It was Su Lingyue's turn. Behind her, dozens of participants were waiting in line.

"Go in," one of the guards said after checking Su Lingyue's ID.

Su Lingyue worked up her courage and entered the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was an underground battleground.

Outside the battleground was a seal with thick cables around it. Outside the seal were more than a dozen workers and complicated machines. In the middle of the battleground was a cyborg battle pet.

Battle pet mechanization was a concept the federation had proposed a long time ago. Compared to the primitive way of training battle pets, battle pet mechanization could greatly improve the strength of battle pets within a short period of time, regardless of bloodline.

However, for some reason, battle pet mechanization wasn't popularized. Battle pet mechanization was only used in the military and in some special experiments.

At the moment, this cyborg battle pet was equipped with sophisticated machines that could calculate the speed of its attacks, the strength of the attacks, the concentration of the opponent's energy, and so on.

With the help of the machines, this cyborg battle pet could accurately collect a lot of data about its opponent.

In some interstellar explorations, cyborg battle pets would be used. The cyborg battle pets were equivalent to mechanical soldiers that were used to explore dangerous areas.

It was the first time that Su Lingyue had seen a cyborg battle pet. She was surprised. She had read about it in textbooks but it was far from her daily life so she didn't pay much attention to it.

A middle-aged man in a black suit and a tall hat said to Su Lingyue, "Go in and summon your battle pet. Stay in there for one minute. You can admit defeat if you want, but that will disqualify you directly."

The barrier on the battlefield also opened up slightly, revealing a blue-scaled passage.

Su Lingyue took a deep breath and stepped into the battleground.

Without any hesitation, she summoned the Moonfrost Dragon and the Phantom Flame Beast.

The staff were surprised to see the Moonfrost Dragon. Then, they knew that the girl would pass the test for sure.

"Begin!"

As the staff announced, the energy tubes on the cyborg battle pet were all loosened. The cyborg battle pet was a seventh-rank Electric Flame Tiger, a rare dual-attribute pet. It was one of the stronger seventh-rank pets.

Su Lingyue didn't show any mercy. She told the Moonfrost Dragon to attack.

Ten seconds later, the battle was over.

It wasn't because Su Lingyue had surrendered. It was because the staff had stopped the battle in time.

If they hadn't stopped the battle, this cyborg battle pet that had been modified at a high price would have been destroyed.
