"Sure."
Su Ping nodded.
He would have asked the headquarters of the Trainers Association what they were up to if they couldn't verify his name.
The guards, Brother Lin, Yue Yingying, and the others were surprised to hear Shi Haochi's words. They didn't expect that the master trainer would actually take Su Ping inside.
Wasn't this just a joke?
How could a master trainer in his twenties do that?!
The onlookers finally came back to their senses after they saw the serious look on Shi Haochi's face. Many people gave Shi Haochi a sympathetic look. This young man was too young and foolish. He had angered the master trainer. Once the master trainer brought him in for verification, there would be no way for him to defend himself. Not even kneeling down and kowtowing would work.
The older ones heaved a sigh and shook their heads.
The young man who called Su Ping "Brother Lin" was gloating when he came back to his senses. That's what you get for showing off. Now that you've pissed off the master trainer, you're going to suffer!
"Sir?"
The young man and the young woman were surprised. They didn't expect that their teacher would argue with someone like that. It would be better to just scold him and drive him away.
"Go back and prepare the materials. You, come with me." Shi Haochi didn't explain. He reminded his two favorite students again. Then, he called out to Su Ping and left.
Su Ping calmly followed him.
Lin Feng sneered at Su Ping since he didn't change his expression. "He's still pretending to be a big shot. He came here to make fun of the master trainer. He will be blacklisted by the Trainers Association forever.
"He deserves it. Ignorance is a sin. Does he really think that everyone will spoil him?"
"I didn't know that I could meet such a weirdo here. I thought those weirdos in the news don't exist in real life."
"You're wrong. There are more weirdos in real life than in the news!"
The onlookers were discussing. Some of them felt sorry for Su Ping and some were gloating over his misfortune.
…
Su Ping followed Shi Haochi and met many trainers along the way. They all knew Shi Haochi and would greet him.
Soon, Su Ping followed him to a manor-like villa. Shi Haochi glanced at Su Ping. Despite his young age, Su Ping was not nervous at all. Shi Haochi's eyes flashed as he said, "Wait here. I'll go ask."
"Alright."
Su Ping nodded.
After Shi Haochi left, Su Ping looked around the hall. Many trainers were going in and out. Four master battle pet warriors were guarding the door.
Su Ping didn't stand there like a fool. He went to the rest area and sat down on a coffee chair, waiting quietly.
Shi Haochi didn't have to wait for long. In less than ten minutes, Shi Haochi came down the stairs in a hurry. Shi Haochi looked around and was relieved to see Su Ping in the lounge. "Which base city are you from?" Shi Haochi asked in surprise.
Su Ping knew that Shi Haochi was trying to verify his identity. "Longjiang Base City."
Shi Haochi's heart skipped a beat. "Did you open your own training center or are you working for another store?"
"Pixie Pet Store. I'm the owner of that store."
Shi Haochi was stunned.
He had just gone upstairs and asked the Vice Chairman. The Vice Chairman had sent him the name and information of the person who had invited him.
At the moment, the information he heard from Su Ping was exactly the same as what he had heard!
His name, background, and even the store he worked for were all the same!
Was this young man really the trainer they had invited?!
"I heard that there's a Moonfrost Dragon whose strength has been greatly enhanced. Are you the one who trained it?" Shi Haochi couldn't help but ask again. Su Ping was so young that he couldn't help but find it hard to believe.
It was the first time he had seen such a young master trainer!
Not even in the Holy Light Base City, where he was born, a holy place for trainers, had a master trainer under the age of twenty!
"Yes, that's me." Su Ping nodded.
Su Ping's frank answer made Shi Haochi tremble. Shi Haochi couldn't tell if he was trembling out of excitement or shock. He had seen a video that the Vice Chairman had given him before.
It was a clip of a battle. He didn't know where the video came from, but it wasn't fake. The Moonfrost Dragon in the video had scared him out of his wits.
Based on his years of experience as a trainer, Su Ping was certain that the Moonfrost Dragon had just reached adulthood, judging from the Moonfrost Dragon's appearance, body size, and the number of teeth!
The Moonfrost Dragon should be at the seventh rank!
The Moonfrost Dragon had just reached the seventh rank!
That being said, the Moonfrost Dragon was as strong as a ninth-rank battle pet. Even among the ninth-rank battle pets, the Moonfrost Dragon was among the best!
That kind of increase in strength was unbelievable!
Even though the dragon bloodline and the unknown elements had played a part, the Moonfrost Dragon was still astounding.
Shi Haochi even suspected that not even the top master trainers could have done that!
"How, how did you train the Moonfrost Dragon?" Shi Haochi couldn't help but ask.
Su Ping answered, "Just some random training. There's no coincidence. I just 'practice'!"
Shi Haochi realized that Su Ping didn't want to go into details. Of course, apart from beginners, some master trainers had their own unique training methods. It was already rude of Shi Haochi to ask such a question out of the blue. Shi Haochi was relieved that Su Ping didn't mind.
"Sorry for my rudeness. Mr. Su, what is your rank?" Shi Haochi apologized and asked another question.
Su Ping didn't know what to say. Why this question again?
"I don't know. I'm at the elementary level. I've never taken the test. I don't know what rank I can get if I stay here." Su Ping didn't want to lie.
"Mr. Su, you must be kidding. If you trained the Moonfrost Dragon, you must be a master trainer. How can you be at the elementary level?" Shi Haochi forced a bitter smile. No wonder the headquarters would invite Su Ping to the master trainers' conference. They must be trying to recruit such a unique talent.
Devour!
"Is that so? A master trainer, then."
Su Ping nodded. After all, Shi Haochi was a master trainer. He had to be telling the truth.
"Mr. Su, you're a promising young man. Where did you learn from?" Shi Haochi was envious. A master trainer in his twenties was bound to become a top trainer in the future. There was even a chance that he could become a Holy Spirit Trainer. Even legendary battle pet warriors would have to suck up to him!
"Where did I learn from?"
"Does the system count?"
"What?"
"Nothing. I learned it on my own," Su Ping answered.
Shi Haochi was confused. He didn't understand Su Ping's words. But since Su Ping had said so, Shi Haochi believed that Su Ping didn't want to reveal anything. How could he learn on his own? Even if someone were to teach him, it would be unimaginable for him to become a master trainer at the age of twenty, not to mention learning on his own.
"Mr. Su, the conference will be held tomorrow. You've just come from the Longjiang Base City. It's a long way and you haven't found a place to stay yet. How about you stay at my place tonight?" Shi Haochi said to Su Ping. He was glad that he had sent his two students away so that he could run into Su Ping.
Su Ping was from the Longjiang Base City. Obviously, he didn't know many people in the Holy Light Base City. Shi Haochi could take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Su Ping. If Su Ping could become a top trainer in the future, Shi Haochi would have another excellent connection.
"Sure." Su Ping nodded.
That would save him the time of looking for a hotel.
"Mr. Su, is this your first time here? Do you want me to find someone to show you around the headquarters?" Shi Haochi asked politely.
"That won't be necessary. I can walk around on my own," Su Ping said. He was interested in the headquarters of the Trainers Association and wanted to see how the place was built.
"Sure." Shi Haochi nodded. "Mr. Su, wait for me here. I will go and get my ID badge. That way, no one will stop you wherever you go."
He would leave his ID badge in a drawer in his office. After all, he had been there for many years. His ID badge was enough to show his face.
"Sure."
Su Ping nodded. He had been troubled by the lack of a ID badge. He had to admit that having one would be a great help.
Shi Haochi left in a hurry. Soon, he came back and gave Su Ping an ID badge.
Su Ping took the badge and looked at it. It was a hexagonal golden badge with flames around the edges. On the front side of the badge was a picture of a tiger and on the back side of the badge was a slot where a photo could be inserted. Shi Haochi's photo was in the slot.
Su Ping noticed that the tiger was the same as the one with black fur outside the door.
"This is a battle pet trained by the first-generation Holy Spirit Trainer at the headquarters of the Trainers Association. It used to be a beast with a ninth-rank bloodline and there was no hope for it to reach the next rank. However, the first-generation Holy Spirit Trainer turned it into a beast king and it is one of the most powerful beast kings."
Shi Haochi explained since Su Ping was staring at the tiger.
Su Ping nodded.
After saying goodbye to Shi Haochi, Su Ping left the lobby and walked around the headquarters of the Trainers Association.
Soon, Su Ping arrived at a building that looked like a school. Many people were waiting in line in front of one of the buildings.
Su Ping was surprised. He took a closer look and saw the words "Trainer Rank Test Center" in front of the building.
Is this the place for the ID badge?
Su Ping was curious. Since he was already there, he might as well go in and have a look.
"Entry is prohibited."
"Is that … a master trainer's badge?"
A guard stopped Su Ping. Su Ping took out Shi Haochi's badge. The guard opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Ping. He knew that this young man was most likely a close friend of a master trainer. Thus, he let Su Ping in without further ado.
The others couldn't help but look over when they heard the guard's exclamation.
"What? Isn't that … that guy? "
In the crowd, several men and women were standing together. When they heard the guard call out the word "Master", they couldn't help but turn their heads. One of them was stunned.
