The headquarter of the Trainers Association was located in the Holy Light District.
That was the most prosperous area. Every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. Those who lived there were either rich or powerful.
Along the way, Su Ping saw many luxury cars parked by the roadside. Some people dressed in fancy clothes were accompanied by rare Astral Pets that were worth millions.
After an hour and a half in the car, Su Ping finally arrived at the headquarter of the Trainers Association.
As soon as he got out of the car, Su Ping noticed that the area outside the headquarter was bustling with noise and excitement. Many people were waiting in line to get in.
Standing in front of those people was a magnificent gate that was dozens of meters tall. The words "Headquarters of the Breeders' Association" were written on the gate. Over a hundred rare Astral Pets were engraved on the stone pillars on both sides of the gate. The engravings were so lifelike that Su Ping felt as if he were being stared at by so many beasts.
What caught Su Ping's attention was a huge tiger carved from stone that was sitting next to the gate. The tiger's fur was as black as fire and its eyes were glowing. Even though it was made of stone, it was quite lifelike. Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
That seemed to be a beast king!
Su Ping went through the memories in his head but couldn't find a Beast King. However, he had seen tens of thousands of Beast Kings, and he could tell that the statue had to belong to a Beast King because of the transcendent aura he sensed!
Su Ping looked away after a while. Even if it were a real beast king, there was nothing to be alarmed about.
Su Ping looked at the people in front of him and walked over. He picked a line and stood in the back.
"That's the Pillar of Beasts. It's so magnificent!"
"Look, that's the Silvermoon Hound. So is my pet!"
"Yingying, your Silvermoon Hound is an advanced rare pet. Of course, it's on the Pillar of Beasts."
There were three men and two women in the line next to her. They seemed to be from the same base city and they were all excited.
"I feel like those Astral Pets are alive. They are so real!"
"No wonder this is the headquarter of the Trainers Association. It's even more magnificent than the government!"
"This time, we must pass. We must all pass and go back together."
They were all excited. One of them, a young man in his late twenties, said with a smile, "Yingying, you have to do your best. If you can pass the sixth rank, you will have unlimited potential at your age. Maybe you will be favored by the headquarters of the Trainers Association. If you can apply to stay here, you will be able to become a master trainer!"
"That's right, that's right. Yingying, we'll be depending on you in the future."
The others also said with a smile, looking at one of the girls with admiration.
Hearing their words, the other people in the front and back of the group couldn't help but raise their eyebrows slightly. They were somewhat surprised and astonished. This girl called Yingying looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was actually able to pass the sixth rank?
If he could pass, he would be considered a genius even in the Holy Light Base City!
"Big Brother Lin, don't say that. I'm not confident." The girl called Yingying was fair and delicate. Her skin was smooth and creamy. She could feel the gazes from people around her. She lowered her head and said in an introverted manner.
The young man didn't think it was a big deal when he saw how shy she was. "You're too modest. If I were you, I would have bragged about it. Look around. Everyone here is my age. Some of them are your age but they don't have the guts to come to the headquarter to take the test. I heard that there are fewer people taking the second or third rank here than the seventh or eighth rank."
Yue Yingying looked around and saw Su Ping standing in the group. He seemed to be about the same age as her. Yue Yingying blushed and looked away.
The young man noticed that as well. He darted a look at Su Ping. He felt that he had been slapped in the face. He asked Su Ping, "Hey, buddy, which rank are you here for?"
Su Ping heard their conversation. He darted a glance at the young man but didn't want to talk to him. He felt that the young man was childish and senseless.
Since Su Ping didn't answer him, the young man pulled a long face. "I'm asking you a question. Didn't you hear me?"
The others hurried to stop the young man. After all, they were in the Holy Light Base City and they were outside the headquarter of the Trainers Association. They didn't have the courage to make a scene.
The young man was infuriated by Su Ping's indifference. After some thought, he suppressed his anger and snorted. "Hey, kid. What are you doing here?"
"Big Brother Lin, let it go."
"Yes. It would be bad if the guards are alerted."
The others tried to mediate the situation. They stood between the young man and Su Ping, fearing that they would start a fight.
…
Over a dozen minutes later, it was Su Ping's turn.
"Are you here for the test? Which rank?" the guard asked casually. He was about to register Su Ping.
Su Ping shook his head. "I'm here for a trainer's conference. I lost my invitation on my way here."
"A conference?"
The guards were stunned. Brother Lin and the others, who were about to turn up, stared at Su Ping in bewilderment. He's so young and he's here for the conference?
The guard looked up. He was about to put on a respectful smile when he saw Su Ping's young face, but the smile disappeared. The guard grumbled, "We do have an exchange meeting to hold, but this one is for master trainers. All the participants are eighth-rank master trainers. Young man, this is not the exchange meeting you were talking about, is it?"
"Yes." Su Ping nodded.
The Breeders' Association thought highly of him, inviting him directly to the master trainers' conference.
Su Ping's admission rendered the guard speechless. Big Brother Lin and the others breathed in relief. At the same time, they gave Su Ping strange looks.
"Are you here on your own or with your parents?" the guard asked with a frown.
"On my own."
"On your own?"
The guard lost his last bit of patience. "Are you sure what you are talking about? This is not a place for jokes. You'd better leave at once!"
"Hmm."
Big Brother Lin couldn't help but sneer at Su Ping. Su Ping was courting death by showing off.
Su Ping frowned. He was the one who had burned the invitation. If he had known it would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have acted so quickly.
He thought for a moment and said, "Although I lost my invitation, you should have my name here. You can go and verify it."
The guard didn't expect Su Ping to be so enthusiastic. He pulled a long face. "You said you're here for the master trainers' conference. Do you have a master trainer's certificate?"
Su Ping knew what the guard meant. "No. I didn't pass the exam. But if you go and check, you will see my name on the list."
"How can you participate if you didn't pass the exam?" the guard couldn't help but ask.
Su Ping realized that the guard had misunderstood him. "When I said I didn't pass the exam, I meant I didn't pass the exam. I didn't mean I didn't pass the exam!"
"…"
The guard blinked. Soon, he pulled a long face. "I'm not in the mood to joke with you. You don't sound like you're from Holy Light Base City, do you?"
"What?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "What does this have to do with the base city?"
"Of course!"
The guard snorted. "In Holy Light Base City, we have seen master trainers as old as you. But in other base cities, hmm, I have never seen one!
You don't have a master trainer's certificate or an invitation. If you continue to make trouble here, I will arrest you. I don't want to ruin your life because of your young age. If you make trouble here, you will be blacklisted by the Association. You will have no future! "
"…" Su Ping didn't know what to say. "You can go and check. You will be able to prove my identity."
"Do you really want to make trouble?" The guard was angry.
"What's going on?"
Right then, Su Ping heard a deep voice. Three people came over, two men and one woman. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. Next to him was a young man and a young woman. They were in their twenties.
"Go back and prepare the materials. You can broaden your horizons at this conference," the middle-aged man said to the young man and woman.
"Yes, sir."
The young man and the young woman nodded with respect. They were delighted to be able to participate in the master trainer's conference.
"Okay, go," the middle-aged man said. Then, he walked toward the gate.
The young man and the young woman followed their teacher. They looked at the people waiting in line.
"What's going on?" The middle-aged man frowned.
The guard was startled to see the middle-aged man. Together with the other guards, he bowed at once. "Master Shi, nice to meet you."
Master trainer?
The people waiting in line were taken aback. This middle-aged man was a master trainer?
Brother Lin and the others were just as surprised. They quickly stood up straight.
The middle-aged man waved his hand. "There are so many people waiting in line. Be efficient. Don't waste their time."
The guard who was talking to Su Ping felt his heart skip a beat. He cursed Su Ping in his mind. "Master Shi, it's not that I'm not efficient. This young man is looking for trouble. He said that he was here for the master trainer's conference and he had an invitation. I asked him if he had a master trainer certificate and he said that he didn't pass the test. I …"
He wanted to say that it was too difficult for him!
The middle-aged man stared at Su Ping in surprise. When he saw Su Ping's young face, the middle-aged man frowned. "Young man, this is not a place for you to make trouble. Don't ruin your life."
"I'm not here to make trouble. I have an invitation. You can go and check it out. My name is Su Ping."
Su Ping said helplessly.
The middle-aged man frowned. He was about to say something else when he noticed that the name sounded familiar.
Over the past few days, the Vice Chairman had been talking about a special trainer in a base city. His name seemed to be Su Ping …
The middle-aged man looked at Su Ping up and down. Was it this guy? He was so young. Did he have the same name?
"Are you sure?" Shi Haochi asked again.
Su Ping nodded.
"Okay. Come with me." Shi Haochi pulled a serious face. "But if you're not, you'd better think about the consequences!"
