Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"So, it's my rank that's holding me back."
He didn't know that upgrading the store would require a rank requirement. Of course, he could put it in another way … He was at the seventh rank, but he had accumulated enough energy to upgrade the store to the third rank and had finished the training of pets of the upper rank. He was outstanding!
Su Ping heaved a sigh. He shook his head and said to the system, "I didn't know that even you had underestimated me."
The system: "…"
"You must be thrilled to find a host like me," Su Ping said to himself.
"…"
Su Ping smiled in satisfaction.
He had won the game with the system that day.
Stupid system, you still don't know how to deal with a human's pretentious behavior.
"Curse the system once," the system said at once.
Su Ping smiled. He didn't think about it. He wouldn't give the system another chance to get back at him.
Su Ping exited the store and looked at the registered pets. He sorted them according to their species. To train all the pets to the upper rank would be difficult and it wouldn't be easy to make money.
"At the moment, all of those pets have low aptitudes and some of them are even worse. If I want to upgrade them to high aptitudes, at the very least, I will have to increase their combat strength by a large margin. I have to enchant them first so that they can at least master the elementary agility talent. I wonder how many aptitudes can be improved with one talent.
Su Ping summoned the classified pets one by one in the pet room. First, he summoned two Long Chongs. But they were both of the average Long Chongs and were below the tenth rank.
Long Chongs like them would be everywhere in the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons. They would be considered "low-rank meat" by the purple-blood dragons.
Su Ping put his hand on the Long Chongs' heads and activated the Long Chongs.
As expected, the two Long Chongs were successfully enchanted. Talent attributes were added to their attributes. Both were elementary agility talents.
Su Ping checked their aptitudes. The two Long Chongs had both reached the lower rank and the upper rank!
He had skipped Low Medium in one go!
"As expected, talents are rare. A Long Chong who can awaken a talent is like a girl who loves to smile. Her aptitude won't be too bad. After all, the bad ones can't even smile."
These two Long Chong did not undergo any other training. Just by relying on their innate talent, they were already close to the average level. This showed the importance of innate talent.
Their combat power had reached the limit of 9.9 under the effects of the Elementary Agility talent!
The combat strength of the two dragons was between 9.4 and 9.5. Compared to the lower position of the ninth rank, their combat strength was only slightly higher than their own level. This kind of increase was considered average among the dragon pets.
That being said, for many battle pet warriors, reaching the average rank was already exhausting.
After all, if they were not properly nurtured, there was a chance that their fighting prowess would be lower than their cultivation.
This was by no means an exaggeration or rare occurrence.
It was like how a normal child could get a score of 60 in a test while his own child could fail. Wasn't that common?!
Training pets was a skill. Some pets would suffer from stunted growth and would become thin and weak if not properly taken care of. Some pets would eat random things and their masters would not take care of them. As a result, they would eat some strange herbs by mistake and fall sick. Even if the pets were of a higher rank, their combat strength would be limited.
Not every Tibetan Mastiff could defeat a pastoral dog.
Of course, a Tibetan Mastiff could defeat a husky.
Su Ping didn't know if the two Long Chongs had just reached 9.9 or if they had reached the limit. After all, 9.9 was a bit ridiculous.
Either way, Su Ping was satisfied that his pets' aptitudes had been greatly improved. He could also see the importance of the Enlightening Guide. If he had mastered an intermediate agility talent, then the effect would have been different. The Elementary Agility talent could only increase the speed of his pets by one fold. That alone could have such an effect. If he had mastered an intermediate agility talent, then the effect would be even greater.
Such an increase in speed would be twice as fast as when he had reached the limit with other skills. That would be horrifying.
Two pets of the same combat strength and one of them had the Elementary Agility talent, then when the Elementary Agility talent could increase its speed by one fold, the Elementary Agility talent could kill the Elementary Agility talent before the other could react!
Su Ping called back the two Long Chongs and summoned the other pets to activate their spirits one by one.
By doing this, the customers' pets would benefit greatly. But of course, Su Ping wouldn't lose anything. For him, activating the pets was a piece of cake. Once he finished the professional training with other training methods, the pets would have reached the limit. In the future, if their masters wanted to improve their battle pets, they would have to go to his store. No one else would be able to improve their battle pets and train them.
That was the "monopoly" of dependence.
…
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had activated all twenty-four battle pets.
Most of the battle pets had low to high aptitudes. A few of them had low to medium aptitudes. Some of the battle pets had reached the intermediate aptitudes, which meant that they had been trained to have higher aptitudes.
Su Ping classified the battle pets. Next, he had to train them in batches.
There were battle pets of the demon family, Long Chongs, and pets of the element family.
As for battle pets, they were the rarest. They didn't even have elemental skills, only brute force. While their defense was good, they were not as good as elemental skills in terms of both aesthetic and practical use. That was why battle pets were relegated to the status quo. Only the poor had to use them.
Su Ping's priority was to train pets of the demon family.
There were seven pets of the demon family in total and all of them were of low ranks. The strongest of them was only the seventh of the demon family. That was already a high rank.
Su Ping was only at the seventh rank but his spirit was strong enough that he could sign contracts with nine pets.
Apart from the five he already had, he could sign contracts with four temporary pets at a cultivation site.
That was to say, Su Ping would have to train the seven pets in two batches.
This time, Su Ping didn't go to the Demigod Burial. Instead, he chose from the cultivation sites for pets of the demon family.
There were many cultivation sites for pets of the demon family. Most of them were in the Shura Realm or the Undead Realm. There were many different Shura Realms, just like the Dragon Realm.
"Why are there so many Shura Realms? Isn't it a unified world?" Su Ping asked the system out of curiosity.
The system didn't answer right away. After a moment of silence, it answered, "There used to be only one Shura Realm, in the earliest immemorial times. Later, it was broken and different worlds were formed."
"Why was it broken?" Su Ping asked.
The system didn't say anything. Su Ping waited for a long time but the system didn't say anything. He called the system but still, there was no response. Su Ping didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was pointless for him to know the answer now. Those were too far away for him.
"Let's go to the cultivation site in the Asura City of the Sin Sword."
Su Ping made his choice.
It was a middle-rank cultivation site. According to the introduction, this cultivation site belonged to an Asura King of Swords.
Apart from training his customers' pets, Su Ping didn't forget his previous idea. He could also enhance his strength in the cultivation site.
"If I can find the Asura King of Swords in this cultivation site and learn from him, that's not a bad idea," Su Ping said to himself.
The introduction mentioned that the Asura King of Swords had mastered peerless swordsmanship. Su Ping was tempted. He preferred using his fists because it was simple and violent. However, there was no harm in learning more when it came to other weapons and skills. After all, there was no harm in having more girls. Knowing more could only be beneficial.
Su Ping paid the entrance fee after he made his selection.
He spent 40 energy points to buy four temporary contracts from the system store. Su Ping signed the contracts with the first batch of pets of the demon family that he was going to train. Then, he went to the Asura City of the Sin Sword.
…
…
The Asura City of the Sin Sword.
It really was a city. The main location of the entire world was located in a desolate and ancient city. Outside the city was a dark wasteland with few signs of life.
Inside the ancient city, there were only a few skeletons and undead spirits wandering around.
At the highest point of the Asura City was a Slaughter Stage. There stood a huge dark sword that was dozens of meters long. Sitting in front of the sword was a tall and sturdy figure. The figure was emitting a horrifying aura that could devour light. On the figure's head was the Slaughter Horn, but one of the horns was broken.
Su Ping teleported to the Asura City. He summoned all his pets, including the four that belonged to his customers, for a total of nine pets.
Su Ping fought on the empty streets of the city. After being killed seven or eight times due to carelessness, Su Ping arrived at the highest point in the city, in front of the Slaughter Stage.
There were no other undead creatures there, not even evil spirits. Su Ping saw the tall and sturdy figure sitting in front of the sword. He could tell right away that the figure belonged to the Asura King. The Asura King was not at the legendary rank, but at the Star Rank. The Asura King was even more horrifying than the old dragon he had met in the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons!
The Asura King was full of vigor, ready to explode at any moment.
The next second, Su Ping saw the Asura King open his eyes. The moment their eyes met, Su Ping felt his eyes hurt.
"I don't mean any harm. I'm here to learn swordsmanship," Su Ping said directly.
