In the meantime.
While the Top 10 competition was being held in the Red Moon Arena, several veterans were yawning at the border of the Longjiang Base City.
They had long grown tired of looking at the same desolate scene in their field of vision every day.
Occasionally, some small beasts would jump out and chase each other, which was actually a form of "entertainment" for them.
While they were on duty, all of a sudden, the ground began to tremble.
The veterans were startled. The laziness and carelessness on their faces disappeared. Their eyes glowed as they tried to locate the source of the sound.
The trembling sound was getting closer and closer. Soon, they saw a figure over a dozen meters long running toward them from the end of the wasteland.
One of the veterans looked over with a pair of binoculars and saw that it was a ninth-rank dragon!
It was a fully grown one!
While he was still in shock, he noticed that there were several people sitting on the dragon's head.
Since there were people, it meant that the dragon was not an untamed beast.
While the veterans were still in shock, a man jumped out from behind them. It was their officer.
"Get ready to open the door and welcome the guest," the officer said at once.
The veterans came back to their senses. It seemed that their superiors already knew who the guest was. The guest must be a big shot.
Soon, the dragon arrived at the defense line.
All the soldiers stationed there went to the defense line. The stone door made of deep-sea steel was slowly pushed open. All the soldiers lined up to welcome the guest. In addition, the few officers stationed here, including a general, all came outside the defensive line and stood on the ground, waiting.
The dragon slowed down and stopped in front of the officers.
Of the four people sitting on the dragon's head, an old man and a middle-aged man jumped down. However, they slowed down when they were about to land and landed gently on the ground.
This caused the pupils of the officers to shrink slightly. Only the general's expression remained the same, with a slight smile on his face.
"Thank you for your trouble," the old man said with a smile.
"Don't mention it. Our mayor has prepared a banquet for you," the general said with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at the other two people still sitting on the dragon's head.
Both of them were young girls, but one of them was clearly a maid. She knelt behind the other girl with a respectful expression.
As for the young girl sitting at the very front of the dragon beast's head, she was wearing a bright red dress with flowing ribbons. Her appearance was exquisite and beautiful, but her eyes were extremely indifferent, without any expression. She was looking at Yuan Fang, as if she was in a trance, and did not even look in their direction.
The general curled his lips but didn't show any dissatisfaction. He had learned about the girl's identity. She was used to seeing titled battle pet warriors. It was normal that she didn't pay any attention to him.
He sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he still put on a smile and said to the two in front of him, "Please, the two of you. The car has already been prepared for you."
The old man nodded and said, "Thank you, General. But my family's young miss is carsick. Let's go in directly."
Carsick?
The general was stunned and speechless. What kind of lousy excuse is this? If you don't want to come down, just say so.
But the general didn't call the old man out. "Once we enter the city, it will be inconvenient for the dragon to walk around. How about this? You can take my battle pet."
The old man frowned. He thought about it and looked at the girl in the sky. "My lady, what do you think?"
The girl looked away from the distance and looked down at the general. After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay."
Seeing the young girl agree, the old man heaved a sigh of relief and nodded to the general.
The general curled his lips. He was unhappy. Not everyone could get a ride on his beloved battle pet. Now, he had to ask for the girl's permission and look at her face when he invited her to take his battle pet.
Even though he was unhappy, he didn't show it. He summoned his battle pet, a ninth-rank Storm Hawk, a pet of the wind family with a violent temperament.
As soon as the Storm Hawk came out, it flapped its wings, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The girl glanced at him and jumped onto the Storm Goshawk's back.
The general was startled by the girl. He hurried to comfort his Storm Hawk, in case the Storm Hawk mistook her for an enemy and attacked her.
However, his telepathic message was still a step too late. The Storm Goshawk had already sensed the girl's intentions when she jumped over, and it was instantly enraged.
The moment the girl fell, it condensed a strong wind element all over its body, wanting to tear the girl on its back to shreds.
"Stop!"
All of a sudden, the girl raised her hand, touched the Storm Hawk's back, and said one word.
Under her slender palm, there seemed to be a shockwave that suddenly spread out.
The Storm Hawk's feathers trembled. The ground under its feet seemed to be shaking as well.
Immediately after that, the wind that was gathering around the Storm Hawk suddenly slowed down and gradually faded away until it was completely gone.
The general narrowed his eyes.
She suppressed the Storm Hawk's killing intent?!
He was shocked. His Tempest Goshawk was a fully matured Level Nine, which was three levels lower than the girl's. How could it be suppressed by her?!
But the old man and the middle-aged man seemed to be used to this. They didn't seem to be surprised. They darted a glance at the shocked general and smiled.
At the same time, the maid on the dragon's back had also jumped onto the Storm Hawk.
The old man raised his hand and grabbed the huge dragon beast. He said to the general, "General, let's go."
The general came back to his senses and his expression changed. His eyes were filled with fear. These were the monsters from those places?!
He finally understood that it wasn't because the girl had seen too many titled battle pet warriors that she didn't care. It was because the girl herself was likely to be as strong as a titled battle pet warrior!
The general calmed himself down. He knew that he had made a fool of himself. He smiled in embarrassment and didn't put on airs. He hopped onto the Storm Hawk with the old man and the middle-aged man.
"Keep an eye on this place. I will be back soon after I see the guests off."
Before taking off, the general said to the officers and soldiers.
Everyone saluted and said yes.
…
The Top 10 matches were over.
The sixth to the tenth places were announced.
Ye Hao was in the eighth place and Su Yanying was in the ninth place.
The one at the bottom was a battle pet warrior who had studied in the academy. It was said that he had obtained a high degree.
The seventh place was an explorer who had studied in an academy.
The sixth place was the future family head of the Zhou family.
While he was not as strong as Su Lingyue and Xu Kuang, the future family head of the Zhou family was able to easily defeat the others. He had shown his overwhelming strength all the way.
His battle pet's level, his fighting skills, his command, and his strategy were all extraordinary.
Many people could tell that the future family head of the Zhou family hadn't used his full strength. Otherwise, he would have been able to make it to the Top 5.
When the Top 10 matches were over and the dust settled, it was already night time.
Su Ping went back with Su Lingyue after the matches. He also said goodbye to Ye Hao and Su Yanying.
So far, Ye Hao and Su Yanying's matches had come to an end. They had nothing to do with the rest of the matches. They could relax and watch the matches.
"Mr. Su, I'll go to your store tomorrow," Ye Hao said to Su Ping.
What happened with Xu Kuang had upset him. Money? More money? Ye Hao was from the Ye family. While he was not a core member, he was still a direct descendant of the family. Since he had made it to the Top 10, he had performed exceptionally well. The family would give him a lot of resources. He would never be short of money.
"Yes. Anytime." Su Ping nodded. He didn't think too much about it.
Su Yanying forced a bitter smile. She knew that Ye Hao was going against Xu Kuang.
That being said, the thought that she could become stronger by spending money in Su Ping's store made her anxious.
She was born in the shantytown area. While she was from a well-off family, she was not as rich as those people. She had to rely on herself.
…
It was past ten o 'clock at night when Su Ping got home.
Su Ping was thinking about the Heaven's Test in the Demigod Burial. He went back to the store after a few bites of dinner. He didn't give his mother a chance to say more. Before he left, he told Su Lingyue to have a good rest at home. The real tough matches would begin the next day. There would be several matches and each opponent would be more powerful than the previous ones.
He could win, but he couldn't underestimate his opponents just because he was sure to win. That was a bad habit.
Su Lingyue nodded and didn't say anything back. When it came to cultivation and battle pets, she had always listened to Su Ping.
Su Ping left Su Lingyue at home to enjoy his mother's compliments. He went back to the store and closed the door. The first thing he did was to check the pets of the customers that day.
Su Ping picked two pets that he wanted to train professionally. He called Joanna and left for the Demigod Burial.
