Several young men and women were sitting in one corner of the venue.
"So many people are here for the final match. The venue is already full after only half an hour!"
"That goes without saying. Yesterday, the ticket prices were sky-high, but they were still sold out in a second. Fortunately, my twenty-seven years of being single wasn't for nothing. My hand speed is superb. Otherwise, we could only watch from outside the stadium."
"Brother Feng, you're awesome!"
Those people were none other than Lin Feng and the others who had traveled all the way to the Holy Light Base City to take the test. They had all finished the test and their results were satisfactory. They were all in a good mood and decided to stay and watch the Trainers' Competition that was held once every three years.
The participants of the Trainers' Competition were all young people and the age limit was no more than thirty!
Lin Feng and the others were qualified to participate but they had arrived late and missed the registration.
That being said, they didn't feel sorry.
Lin Feng and Yue Yingying were quite talented and were both at the sixth rank. Among the young people of the Holy Light Base City, they were among the best.
However, they had seen the videos of the previous Trainers' Competitions. They knew that even if they had participated, they would have been eliminated.
In order to make it to the Top 10, one had to be close to the seventh-rank to stand out!
To win the championship, one had to be a seventh-rank trainer!
The champions of the previous Trainers' Competitions were all seventh-rank trainers. In some competitions, even the runners-up were seventh-rank trainers!
Seventh-Rank trainers were advanced trainers, only one step away from becoming master trainers!
It would be easy for them to become master trainers if they could receive guidance from a famous teacher. However, to jump from master trainers to top trainers, they would have to rely on luck and talent.
Most of the champions of the previous Trainers' Competitions had become master trainers. Only a few of them had messed up because they were too young.
"Look, that's where the top trainers are sitting!"
"Are the top trainers here?"
"Of course! The highlight of the day, apart from the final match between the champion and the runner-up, is the recruitment of students by the top trainers. "
"I've heard about that as well. The top trainers would fight for the championship every year. The champion is highly sought after."
"Fighting over the champion? I don't think so. Who are they? "
"What do you know? This is called cherishing talents!"
"Look, they're here!"
Suddenly, Lin Feng shushed her and pointed at her.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at. They saw that there were people guarding the passageway next to the top trainers' seats. The reporters were like sharks that had smelled blood. All of a sudden, the reporters became restless. They set up their equipment and waited by the passageway.
Then, everyone saw two figures walking out of the passage, one old and one young, talking and laughing as they walked out.
The old man was wearing a top trainer's robe and a badge. He was impeccably dressed and looked kind and elegant.
On the other hand, the young man was dressed casually. Other than his good looks, he looked like a passerby.
Crack! Crack!
The surrounding media reporters immediately took pictures.
"That is …"
Lin Feng and the others looked at him with their eyes wide open as if they had seen a ghost.
Even though the old top trainer was eye-catching, they were still attracted by the young man next to him. They couldn't help but rub their eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with them.
Wasn't that young man the one they had seen before?
He was talking and laughing … with a top trainer?!
Lin Feng and the others were stupefied.
They couldn't understand what was going on and couldn't figure out what was going on.
They were already surprised when they saw Su Ping holding the master trainer's badge. Lin Feng even apologized to Su Ping directly and didn't dare to put on airs.
But it was even more outrageous that Su Ping was walking with a top trainer.
…
The appearance of Su Ping and the Vice Chairman immediately attracted the attention of many people in the stadium. Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows as he looked at the camera flashes. He felt uneasy.
The Vice Chairman had gotten used to it. He even nodded to the mainstream media reporters from the Holy Light Base City as a way of greeting them.
"I think we're the first to arrive."
The Vice Chairman smiled as he looked at the row of empty seats in front of him.
Su Ping didn't say anything. He didn't care.
It didn't matter whether they arrived early or late.
The Vice Chairman sat down in the middle of the nine seats. The Chairman had never attended such events. The central seat had always been reserved for the Vice Chairman. If the Vice Chairman didn't sit down, the others would have left it empty.
Su Ping sat down next to the Vice Chairman.
As the two of them sat down, some people who noticed them were stunned.
The reporters outside the seats were also in a daze.
They had thought that Su Ping was a young man who had come with the Vice Chairman. It never occurred to them that Su Ping would be bold enough to take a seat!
That was a seat for top trainers!
Even if Su Ping were the Chairman's son, he wouldn't have the right to sit there!
"Only some people in the headquarters know who you are. The outside world doesn't know that the Breeders' Association has another top trainer."
The Vice Chairman smiled and said to Su Ping as he sensed the surprise and doubt in everyone's eyes.
Su Ping nodded. He didn't care about that.
He was there to pick a new student.
He would go back to the Longjiang Base City after he picked one that he was satisfied with.
He didn't know anything about the Longjiang Base City and the people there. He didn't care what they thought.
Not long after the two of them arrived, other top trainers arrived one after another.
Some of them were the top trainers that the Vice Chairman had shown Su Ping to the day before. Those top trainers were surprised to see that Su Ping was there to pick a student. They were also interested. They wanted to know more about this new top trainer. After greeting Su Ping, they found a place to sit down.
Some of the top trainers who had never met Su Ping were surprised to see Su Ping's face. They didn't know that Su Ping was the new top trainer until the Vice Chairman introduced him.
Apart from the surprise, those top trainers also exchanged some pleasantries with Su Ping. They were all very easy-going.
As more and more top trainers arrived, they began to chat.
They were all familiar with each other. Even though they were busy with their own things, they could always find something to talk about when they were together.
"What do you say, guys? Do you want to make a bet?"
An old man sitting next to Su Ping asked with a smile. His name was Hu Jiutong, a top trainer that Su Ping had met the day before. After chatting with him, Su Ping learned that Hu Jiutong was Hu Rongrong's grandfather, whom he had met once before. Hu Jiutong was also a top trainer at the headquarters.
Hu Jiutong was good at training pets of the dragon family. He was one of the best top trainers. However, everyone knew that he had a weakness — gambling.
The other top trainers burst into laughter. They knew that Hu Jiutong was addicted to gambling again.
"What are we betting on?"
Lv Renwei asked with a smile.
"Who's going to be the champion today!" Hu Jiutong's face lit up when he heard his old friend's words. He pinched his mustache and said with a smile, "Let's see who has the best foresight. There are only a few of us. Who do you think will win the championship?"
Lv Renwei had expected this. He chuckled and said, "I knew you'd have this bad habit of yours. I watched their previous matches. I bet on Muliu Tusu!"
"Muliu Tusu? That genius from the Muliu family? Old man, you have good taste! "Hu Jiutong was surprised. Then, he turned to the other top trainers with a smile." What about you? "
"Since we're betting, let's talk about what we're betting on first." Another trainer smiled.
"That's right." The other trainers agreed with a smile.
That was to add to the fun.
"I think we can change the way we're betting. What's the point of betting on the champion? How about we bet on the ranking of the top three? Wouldn't that be more difficult?" an old man in a black robe suggested.
Hu Jiutong looked at him with glowing eyes. "Old Cao, you're a good gambler!"
"I think Old Cao's idea is good. Brother SU, do you want to join?" Lv Renwei asked Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't want to be a wet blanket since everyone was interested. He nodded. "I'm fine with anything."
"Good!"
Hu Jiutong's interest was piqued. "Let's pick a ranking of the top three. As for the bet, how about a ninth-rank dragon?"
"Come on, everyone knows you have many dragons. We're not battle pet warriors. What do we need your dragons for? Are we going to sell them?" another trainer asked.
The other trainers nodded.
Dragons were valuable but they were all trainers. They didn't focus on dragon training. Once they got their hands on a dragon, they could only give it away. That would be meaningless.
"How about a training skill?" Lv Renwei said after some thought.
The trainers' eyes glowed. That was something they were all interested in.
"Okay, but it has to be a middle-rank training skill. I'd like to see who has the nerve to take out a low-rank one."
"No problem. I can accept that." Someone nodded.
The other trainers agreed.
That was just to add to the fun. They didn't lack middle-rank training skills, but there were many kinds of training skills. As trainers, the more the better. They could teach their students.
Compared to dragons, they were more interested in training skills.
"You …" Hu Jiutong was speechless.
Isn't it good to bet on dragons?
I have a lot of dragons. I can afford to lose!
Besides, a dragon is more valuable than an middle-rank training skill. A ninth-rank dragon can only be bought with an advanced training skill!
Hu Jiutong heaved a sigh. "Brother Su, can you accept this bet?" Hu Jiutong looked at Su Ping and asked, "Brother Su, can you accept this bet?"
Only then did the trainers remember Su Ping. They were all experienced trainers and could easily take out a middle-rank training skill. But Su Ping was from another base city. For them, the base cities outside the Holy Light Base City were barren.
That was just a small bet to add to the fun. It would be boring if it made them feel sorry.
