"Okay."
Su Ping nodded.
He sent a message to the Swamp War Crocodile, telling it to wait there.
The Swamp War Crocodile snorted and swam into the lake. Looking from the distance, one could see a huge cyan shadow in the lake, as if a monster was lurking there.
After the Swamp War Crocodile was settled down, Su Ping followed one of the battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank and flew across the bridge to the other side of the lake.
It was quite a lively place. Many people had gathered on the street, mostly battle pet warriors. Occasionally, there would be some peddlers selling their wares.
On the roadside signs, there were signs advertising the Supremacy League.
"My friend, I'll see you off here. I still have work to do so I have to go back. If you need anything, you can ask the staff on the street."
The titled battle pet warrior at the peak of the titled rank didn't stay for long. He said goodbye to Su Ping and then went back to the base city to keep watch.
Su Ping landed on the street after the man left.
Some battle pet warriors on the street darted him a glance but didn't pay much attention to him.
Titled battle pet warriors were rare in other places, but not in the Aurora Base City. Besides, the Supremacy League was just around the corner. Titled battle pet warriors and master battle pet warriors were everywhere in the base city. Even advanced battle pet warriors were trembling in fear when they saw them.
"Just as I thought, everything is sold here."
"Blood Thread? I heard that this kind of pet lives in other pets and feeds on their blood. When they are hungry, they will crawl into their masters' stomachs to look for food. "
Su Ping wandered around on the street. He saw many things that would be considered taboo in other base cities. Not only were there some low-rank pets that could spread diseases, there were also some weapons that were specifically designed to deal with battle pet warriors. For example, those weapons could drain the astral powers in an area and those weapons could transmit electric currents to attack battle pet warriors when they used their astral powers.
Those weapons were forbidden on the market. Still, some assassination organizations or adventurers would buy some through the black market. They could also hunt down other battle pet warriors when they ran into them in the wild.
After all, hunting down defenseless companions was much better than hunting down dangerous beasts.
The most vicious thing was the human heart!
Beep beep!
While Su Ping was strolling around, his communicator suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Qin Shuhai.
"What? What?"
"… Mr. Su, have you arrived?" Qin Shuhai's voice was heard. He was so excited that he even addressed Su Yu respectfully.
Su Ping immediately noticed this change and had a guess in his heart.
It was most likely that Old Qin had tipped him off when he went out.
"I just arrived. Where are you?" Su Ping asked. It was good to have Qin Shuhai by his side. He was not familiar with this place, so he could ask him to lead the way. At the same time, he could ask him what stage the league was at.
"I'm next to the stadium. Where are you? I'll pick you up now," Qin Shuhai said hurriedly.
"Me …"
Su Ping looked around and found a signboard at once. "I just arrived at the venue where the Elite League is being held. On the street, I saw a pet store called 'Shangkola.' There is also a big signboard with a woman with a nice figure on it."
"Nice figure?"
"Yes. Do you know this place?"
"Well … I think so. I'll go and take a look."
After hanging up, Su Ping didn't wander around. He wandered around.
Soon, he heard a whistling sound from behind. Su Ping turned around. It was Qin Shuhai flying toward him.
"Finally, I found you." Qin Shuhai was relieved to see Su Ping. He almost thought that he had found the wrong place. He looked up at the signboard on the clock tower and almost vomited blood. Was that the woman with a nice figure that Su Ping had mentioned?
Yes, she was nice. She weighed more than 100 pounds. How could she not be nice?
Qin Shuhai complained in his mind but he didn't say it out loud.
Su Ping was no longer the same person he used to be.
Qin Shuhai had received a call from the old man telling him about the Longjiang Base City. Qin Shuhai was dumbfounded when he learned that Su Ping had come to the Elite League on a beast king.
A beast king!
That word alone was enough to make Qin Shuhai's heart race.
Su Ping was able to ride a beast king. His rank aside, he had to be one of the most powerful battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank!
He had to curry favor with Su Ping as soon as possible. Back at the Elite League, Qin Shuhai had sat down with Su Ping and called him brother. But now, Qin Shuhai didn't even have the courage to call him brother.
Qin Shuhai was aware of many things that Su Ping had done. As far as Qin Shuhai was concerned, Su Ping had a very high chance of reaching the legendary rank!
As a matter of fact, Qin Shuhai didn't know Su Ping well. They had never hunted beasts together and he had never helped Su Ping. Therefore, Qin Shuhai didn't dare to call Su Ping an equal anymore. After all, even the old man was polite to Su Ping. If Qin Shuhai kept calling Su Ping Brother SU, wouldn't he be messing up the seniority?
"What do you mean by 'Brother'? I feel like I'm getting old." Su Ping wanted to correct Qin Shuhai's attitude. He was already too handsome to have any friends. He didn't want to be too strong to have any friends.
That would be too lonely!
Qin Shuhai forced a smile. "I heard from my old man that you rode a beast king here. Mr. Su, you must be determined to win the Elite League!"
Su Ping heaved a sigh. "I told you not to call me 'Brother'. I'm only 19 years old. You don't have to be so formal with me."
Qin Shuhai felt warm inside when he heard Su Ping call him "Brother Qin." A glint of sharpness rose in his eyes. "Okay. I won't stand on ceremony with you, Mr. Su."
"Okay. How is the Elite League going?"
Su Ping asked.
Qin Shuhai smiled. "Mr. Su, don't worry. We are still in the preliminary stage. The titled battle pet warriors have yet to enter the stage. But it won't be long. The Elite League will begin tomorrow. Today is the last day.
"This contest is for the younger generation of the major families and forces to have some fun and gain some experience. Tomorrow, they will be eliminated. Tomorrow, those who are at the titled rank will be able to participate in the contest and compete for a higher ranking."
Su Ping nodded. He had arrived at the right time. It was already afternoon. He would have to wait until the official match the next day.
"Mr. Su, you're here for the championship, right?"
Qin Shuhai asked. He looked at Su Ping and lowered his voice. "Mr. Su, you have a good chance of winning the championship. That being said, there are many old guys participating in the Elite League. I heard that something happened at the Deep Caves. Those old guys wanted to come out and do something to increase their strength.
"I think the competition will be fierce this year!"
Su Ping nodded. He didn't mind.
He had the Inferno Dragon with a combat strength of 10, which was enough to defeat many battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank. With the Dark Dragon Hound, the Inferno Dragon Hound could defeat the average Ocean State battle pet warriors.
Unless, of course, there were some legendary battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank who had the strength of a legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State. But he had never heard of such a case. It was unlikely.
After all, Dao Zun, Leng Yingjun, was a famous battle pet warrior at the peak of the titled rank. As far as Su Ping knew, the Inferno Dragon with a combat strength of 10 should be able to defeat him.
"What is the Deep Caves?"
Su Ping asked curiously.
Qin Shuhai was used to Su Ping's ignorance. He felt that Su Ping was like someone who had been cultivating in the mountains. Su Ping knew nothing about many things that titled battle pet warriors would know.
Qin Shuhai explained, "The Deep Caves are the lair of the wild beasts. The most ferocious wild beasts live there. I heard that beast kings are not rare in the Deep Caves. Back in the days, the wild beasts were rampaging on the Blue Star. The first-generation battle pet warriors worked together to drive the wild beasts away. That was how the Deep Caves came into being."
He continued, "Legendary battle pet warriors are stationed outside the Deep Caves all year round. Do you know why there are only two legendary battle pet warriors in the Subcontinent District?
There used to be some legendary battle pet warriors but they all went to the Deep Caves. I heard that the current two legendary battle pet warriors will go to the Deep Caves when it's time for them to serve! "
Su Ping didn't expect that to be the case.
"I heard that the four major families and the Star Organization are here," Qin Shuhai said all of a sudden. He darted a look at Su Ping.
Qin Shuhai was aware of the conflicts between Su Ping and the Tang family and the Star Organization. Many old battle pet warriors at the peak of the titled rank had come to participate in the Supremacy League.
Su Ping nodded. He didn't give much of a reaction.
He believed that he had put an end to the feud between him and the Tang family and the Star Organization.
Even if they ran into each other again, they would just be strangers. Of course, if they were still unconvinced, he would make sure they were convinced.
"This is the venue."
Qin Shuhai led the way. There was a huge venue in front of them. The entrance was crowded with people. Many people were carrying cute pets on their shoulders or following them around.
Some pets were used to fight while others were used to act cute.
It was precisely this kind of cute pet that was especially popular and loved by girls.
That was why the number of battle pet warriors who specialized in pets of the undead family was the lowest … Not only would it be difficult to find a girlfriend, but it would also be difficult to find a boyfriend.
Whoosh!
Qin Shuhai leaped into the air.
Seeing this, Su Ping followed him and flew toward the entrance of the stadium.
Some sand fell from the soles of their shoes as the two titled battle pet warriors flew over their heads. Many battle pet warriors were angry, but they didn't dare to curse out loud. After all, they were at the titled rank. If they were somewhere else, they could have slapped them to death without breaking the law.
Titled battle pet warriors had special privileges!
Soon, the two entered the venue. Qin Shuhai used astral powers to control objects. He didn't need to show any invitations or tickets. Under the respectful gaze of the guards, he invited them in.
The venue was filled with cheers.
On the stage, a young man and a young woman were competing. They seemed to be in their mid-twenties, but their ranks were surprising. They were both master battle pet warriors!
No wonder the Supremacy League was so much more valuable than the Elite League. A master battle pet warrior in his mid-twenties was definitely a genius!
But Su Ping remembered that Leng Shaoting became a master battle pet warrior when he was less than 20 years old. Leng Shaoting must have been a genius when he was young.
But it was also evident how difficult it was to become a legendary battle pet warrior.
Even though Leng Shaoting had become a master battle pet warrior at the age of 20, he was still stuck at the peak of the titled rank!
Qin Shuhai took Su Ping to an area close to the front. While the other areas were packed, there were still plenty of empty spaces and a good view.
Su Ping looked around. All the people sitting there were titled battle pet warriors!
There were over a hundred of them!
That many titled battle pet warriors were enough to rob a Class B base city like the Longjiang Base City.
"The young man on the stage is a grandson of the Lu family's ancestor. The Lu family is not one of the four ancient families but they once had a legendary battle pet warrior!" Qin Shuhai sat down and introduced the Lu family to Su Ping, "Many families that once had legendary battle pet warriors failed to become one of the top families due to some other reasons, such as a lack of talents or poor management. That being said, those families are not to be underestimated or provoked!
"That is especially true for the legendary battle pet warriors who go to the Deep Caves for service. Their descendants are taken care of by the Tower. Those families enjoy a special status that is higher than that of the four ancient families. Some legendary battle pet warriors don't even dare to provoke those families!
"After all, those families' legendary battle pet warriors have gone to guard the Deep Caves. Who would want to guard the Deep Caves when their descendants are being bullied?"
Su Ping asked, "Is there a legendary battle pet warrior in the Star Organization?"
"There used to be one, but he went to the Deep Caves many years ago. I heard that he passed away in there." Qin Shuhai said. He was afraid that Su Ping would try to get him into trouble because of what Qin Shuhai had just said. Qin Shuhai hurried to explain.
"Yes, the Star Organization doesn't have a legendary battle pet warrior but they are taken care of by the Tower. What happened between you and the Star Organization was just a small matter; it wouldn't hurt the Star Organization. But I'm afraid that the Tower will take action if things get out of hand."
Su Ping nodded. He understood Qin Shuhai's advice. Qin Shuhai was just asking. He didn't intend to do anything to the Star Organization.
After all, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.
Besides, they had already developed a grudge against each other. That was that.
"Is that … Mr. Su?"
Su Ping and Qin Shuhai were talking to each other when a voice came from the side.
Both of them turned around at the same time. Seven or eight people were standing next to them, led by several old men. Su Ping saw Tang Mingqing among them.
It was Tang Mingqing who had greeted him.
Qin Shuhai's expression changed slightly when he saw them. He was a little restless.
After all, he was representing the Qin Family. He was worried that his family would be involved in the feud between Su Ping and the Tang family.
"The Tang family?" Su Ping darted a glance at Tang Mingqing. Next to him was another captive that Su Ping had captured. That captive was also an elder of the Tang family. There were other old men who were as old as Tang Mingqing. They were all at the peak of the titled rank.
Standing at the back of the group were several middle-aged titled battle pet warriors. They seemed to be at the upper position of the titled rank.
What caught Su Ping's attention was the girl standing behind Tang Mingqing. She seemed to be in her twenties, with delicate features.
But she was wearing an indifferent expression. Her eyes were dark and profound. There was not a trace of emotion in them.
Su Ping noticed that the girl looked familiar.
Tang Ruyan popped into his mind.
"Who is she?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
Seeing that Su Ping was looking at the girl, Tang Mingqing and the other elders were startled. They gathered around the girl to protect her.
"This is our future family head." Tang Mingqing smiled in embarrassment. He darted a look at Qin Shuhai who was standing next to Su Ping. Tang Mingqing recognized Qin Shuhai. Qin Shuhai was known as the King of Swords and was a well-known figure among the younger generation.
Of course, Tang Mingqing didn't think much of a young man like Qin Shuhai.
Tang Mingqing didn't see the blonde girl standing next to Su Ping. While Su Ping was powerful, more than half of the elders of the Tang family were there. They wouldn't be able to defeat Su Ping in a fight.
"Future family head?"
Su Ping knew it. He couldn't help but glance at the girl when he remembered that they had set Tang Ruyan free.
Tang Ruyan was a mask. This girl was the real future family head of the Tang family.
"What? Aren't you afraid that someone will find out and assassinate the future family head of the Tang family?" Su Ping asked.
Tang Mingqing's expression changed slightly. He chuckled and said, "Lil Tang has already lost his mask and our Young Master has already been exposed. There's no point in hiding anymore. So, I took the opportunity to bring our Young Master here to have some fun. Why, Boss Su, are you interested in participating in the league too?"
Su Ping smiled. "So, I accidentally broke the Tang family's mask."
"Of course not," Tang Mingqing said with a smile.
The other elders frowned and glared at Su Ping coldly.
They knew that it was the legendary battle pet warrior behind this young man who had wiped out the Feather Army and the Tactic Army of the Tang family!
That was two thousand master battle pet warriors!
That was enough to wipe out most third-rate base cities!
Even some of the B-grade base cities might not be able to withstand such a force.
That was like tearing a bloody wound on the Tang family. They were in so much pain that they wished they were dead! Even though they were angry, they didn't have the courage to seek revenge.
The fact that he had killed two thousand master battle pet warriors was shocking enough.
Not even legendary battle pet warriors could have done that!
Su Ping looked at them for a moment and heaved a sigh.
It was rare for them to meet, but they didn't ask about Tang Ruyan. It was as if they didn't care about her at all.
Was this the kinship of a big family?
Su Ping could understand but he couldn't accept it.
"You're using that guy as a mask. I don't think the future family head of the Tang family is that strong," Su Ping said to the girl who was wearing a cold expression.
The girl was at the master rank.
One rank higher than Tang Ruyan!
At such a young age, she was almost as strong as Dao Zun. But Su Ping didn't find it strange. After all, Dao Zun was also stuck at the peak of the titled rank.
In another ten years, if she was lucky and everything went well, she would only become the second Dao Zun.
Whether or not she could reach the legendary rank would depend on luck!
Su Ping's blunt words made Tang Mingqing turn pale. The other elders of the Tang family were angered as well.
"Is my sister with you?" the girl asked all of a sudden. Her voice was as clear as a spring, cold and yet pleasant to the ears.
Su Ping didn't answer. He just stared at her.
"Kill her if you think she's in the way," the girl said again. She didn't change her expression at all. It was as if she wasn't talking about a living being, but something dispensable.
Su Ping squinted his eyes. A glint of sharpness rose in his eyes.
"She's not even qualified to be a mask. She has no value at all. She has nothing to do with our Tang family. If she offends you, you can kill her. Our Tang family won't care." The young girl said. Her voice was cold and calm.
All of a sudden, Su Ping felt a ball of anger rising in his heart.
He didn't know why he was so angry. After all, Tang Ruyan was just a captive he had captured.
"Why are all the sisters I've met so disobedient?" Su Ping asked.
The girl frowned.
Su Ping seemed to be talking to himself. He looked at the girl and said, "The Tang family made the wrong choice by choosing you as the future family head. At the very least, I think your sister is much better than you."
"Maybe." The girl didn't argue.
Tang Mingqing frowned. He cupped his fists and said to Su Ping, "Mr. Su, please continue watching the match. We won't disturb you any longer. See you later."
With that said, Tang Mingqing left with the others.
The other family elders darted a hostile look at Su Ping. But they didn't show any coldness or killing intent. They weren't that stupid.
They didn't need to make an enemy out of Su Ping just to argue.
The Tang family cared about their reputation. If someone else had said that, they would have started a fight. But the legendary battle pet warrior behind Su Ping was indeed frightening.
"Is that Mr. Su? He doesn't look like a big deal."
"A legendary battle pet warrior? How dare he show off here? Hmm!"
"Young Master, don't mind what he said. Just ignore his words."
After they left Su Ping, the family elders set up a soundproof seal and whispered to each other.
The girl remained calm. "I don't mind. When I become a legendary battle pet warrior, I will trample them all under my feet. I will lead the Tang family to unprecedented heights!"
"That's right. Young Master, your goal is to become a legendary battle pet warrior!"
The others nodded and smiled.
It was good that she wasn't affected.
As long as their young master could become a legendary battle pet warrior, the Tang family would rise to another level!
…
"The young master of the Tang family is indeed intimidating."
After everyone from the Tang Family left, Qin Shuhai looked at their backs and said with a tinge of fear.
The girl remained calm while facing him and Su Ping, two titled battle pet warriors. Qin Shuhai could tell that the girl would surpass him in no time!
"Intimidating?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows and sneered.
What kind of intimidating?
She was expressionless like a dead person. Was she an orphan?
Qin Shuhai darted a look at Su Ping but didn't say anything.
Not long afterward, he heard another voice. "Mr. Su?"
Su Ping found the voice familiar. He turned around. It was Dao Zun.
"You're here as well?" Dao Zun forced a bitter smile.
