After the Heaven's Test, Su Ping felt his astral powers had become more concentrated. He was at the seventh rank but his astral powers were as dense as those at the peak of the eighth rank!
With the help of the Star Prism, his astral powers were as strong as those at the upper position of the ninth rank!
Next, it was time for Su Ping and his pets to soak in the spring, which was their favorite.
"I … am … convinced …"
The Inferno Dragon had half of its body in the spring water. It leaned against the edge of the spring and squinted its eyes in enjoyment. All of a sudden, the Inferno Dragon uttered some unclear words.
Su Ping could not believe what he had heard.
The Dark Dragon Hound, which was swimming, and the Little Skeleton, whose bones were scattered at the bottom of the spring, were also stunned. The Purple Python turned around to look at the Inferno Dragon.
… Did I hear it wrong?
Su Ping could not believe what he had heard.
Did the Inferno Dragon … speak human language?
"Did you just say that? Can you repeat it?" Su Ping asked in a hurry.
Seeing that everyone was looking at it, the Inferno Dragon blinked and said, "Rustle (say) … Rustle (what)?"
“！”
Su Ping stared at the Inferno Dragon. The Inferno Dragon's words were unclear but it was speaking human language!
Generally speaking, only when pets reached the Beast King level could they master the human language! If flying was a sign of a titled battle pet warrior, then speaking human language was something only Beast Kings could do!
Besides, not all Beast Kings could speak human language.
The Swamp War Crocodile was a Beast King but it could not speak human language. Su Ping had to spend some time teaching the Swamp War Crocodile.
At the Beast King level, Beast Kings would gain intelligence. Not only could they speak human language, but they could also speak some languages of other species. Beast Kings had completely transformed from beasts to spirit beasts!
Su Ping didn't expect that the Inferno Dragon would be able to speak human language when it was only at the seventh-rank.
Suddenly, he thought of the Spiritual Herb that he had bought in the system store that could increase his Comprehension!
Neither the Little Skeleton nor the Dark Dragon Hound could speak, but the Inferno Dragon was the only one who could. Clearly, the Inferno Dragon had eaten the herb. The one hundred thousand worth of herbs was well spent!
Speaking the human language was just a sign. While it wouldn't improve the Inferno Dragon's combat ability, it meant that the Inferno Dragon could learn some skills on its own!
"Come, speak more if you know how to."
Su Ping said immediately.
At the moment, the Inferno Dragon could speak the human language like a three-year-old. The Inferno Dragon needed more guidance to master the language.
"Sau … sen?" The Inferno Dragon blinked innocently and blankly.
Su Ping thought for a moment and said, "Give me a number."
"Hugging a tree?"
"Oh, another simple one. Eat grapes without spitting out the grape skin."
"Eat …"
The Inferno Dragon was stuck at the first word. It blinked.
Su Ping laughed mercilessly.
Buttface, who was beside him, was also laughing so hard that he was rocking back and forth, causing waves to splash in the water.
The Little Skeleton that was at the bottom of the spring was also laughing so hard that its bones were shaking.
Hiss, hiss!
The Purple Python was laughing so hard that the corners of its mouth were cracked. Its tongue was shaking, which was a horrifying sight that could make people cry.
Su Ping was happy that the Inferno Dragon could speak the human language. That was a good improvement. He felt that it wasn't just the herb that had improved the Inferno Dragon's power of understanding. Usually, he would let the Inferno Dragon, the Little Skeleton, and the Dark Dragon Hound stay in the nursing pens. The nursing pens were nourished by spiritual energy.
Even Joanna liked to stay in the nursing pens when she had nothing to do.
The nourishment of spiritual energy in the nursing pens could gradually improve the Inferno Dragon's power of understanding. While the effect was not as great as that of the herb, it could be accumulated over time.
After the Inferno Dragon Hound was soaking in the spring, Su Ping helped the pets settle down and told them to cultivate with some Celestial Gods. As for himself, he took out the herbs that the Zhong family had given him and found a place to absorb them.
He felt that he had to hurry up and improve his rank. His cultivation speed was fast enough compared to the average people but he still didn't think it was enough.
For example, he couldn't sign a contract with the Swamp War Crocodile right away.
He didn't plan to make that beast king his permanent partner. However, if another beast king at the peak of the Swamp War Crocodile was born, he would have to watch helplessly. That would be terrible.
Time zipped by.
Several days passed in the Demigod Burial.
Su Ping's cultivation was about to come to an end. With the help of the herbs and the Chaos Star Chart, he had reached the upper position of the seventh rank from the lower position in a couple of days!
Su Ping's rank was not high enough but he could wait until the next time he came to the Demigod Burial. By then, he should be able to push his rank to the intermediate position of the seventh rank.
While Su Ping was cultivating, Joanna suddenly went to Su Ping. "I think your Little Skeleton is about to evolve. Do you want to go and check it out?"
"Evolve?"
Su Ping stopped cultivating. He suddenly remembered the Skeleton King's bloodline in the Little Skeleton. Was the Little Skeleton finally going to finish absorbing the bloodline?
Pleasantly surprised, Su Ping stood up and went with Joanna.
Soon, Su Ping arrived at a training ground.
Many Celestial Gods and True Gods were standing outside, as well as a God Warrior. In the middle of the training ground was an oval-shaped, blood-red cocoon!
The cocoon was two meters tall and emitted a strong smell of blood. Even standing outside the training ground, Su Ping could smell the smell of blood, as if he were standing in a purgatory of blood.
Through the power of the contract, Su Ping immediately sensed that the Little Skeleton was inside the blood-red cocoon!
Joanna summoned a Celestial God.
The Celestial God trotted over to Su Ping. Under Joanna's instruction, the Celestial God immediately told Su Ping about the situation.
Only then did Su Ping learn that the Little Skeleton was learning saber skills from the Celestial God. While they were learning, the Little Skeleton's blood suddenly surged. Then, the Little Skeleton gradually turned into a cocoon and wrapped itself up.
"Little Skeleton, are you a descendant of the Skeleton King?"
Joanna took a look at the blood-red cocoon and asked Su Ping.
She had noticed that Su Ping's skeleton pet was extraordinary. However, she didn't know that it was a descendant of the Skeleton King. It was said that the Skeleton King's family had been sealed in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead for a long time and had gone extinct. She didn't know that there were still descendants left and that they were in Su Ping's hands.
Su Ping nodded but didn't go into the details.
The Little Skeleton wasn't a descendant. The Little Skeleton had only acquired the Skeleton King's bloodline through the Blood Spirit Crystal.
The Little Skeleton had snatched that crystal from the feet of that skeleton and the latter had casually thrown it away. It was not hard to imagine how powerful that skeleton must have been.
"The Skeleton King is a Star Rank creature. It is said that the king of the Skeleton Kings has become a god!" Joanna squinted. A Star Rank creature was equal to a God Warrior. A God Warrior would be a God of Order, just like her original self.
As a descendant of the Skeleton King, the Little Skeleton had the potential to become a god as well!
