"Su Ping …"
Mo Fengping stared blankly, silently committing this name to memory.
He knew that Han Yuxiang was right. At the very least, he would never forget that horrifying young man.
"A titled battle pet warrior under the age of 24. That is to say, he's still a student …" Mo Fengping mumbled to himself.
…
"Sir …"
Xu Kuang stared at the scene in a daze. All of a sudden, he felt something inside him had come back to life.
When he first met Su Ping, he had regarded him as an equal.
Later, as Su Ping revealed his strength, Xu Kuang began to realize the gap between him and Su Ping. As such, he was more than happy to call Su Ping "sir."
Gradually, he began to regard Su Ping as a senior.
But at that moment, he was telling him that Su Ping was about the same age as him.
That was the kind of teacher Xu Kuang was.
He remembered how Su Ping had killed a titled battle pet warrior at the Elite League and how he had become the hero of the Longjiang Base City. Xu Kuang felt his blood was boiling.
That was the goal that he had been pursuing!
…
In the cave.
Su Ping and the young scribe were walking down the path.
"Tell me about the Dragon Tower," Su Ping said as they walked.
He could tell that the young man was at the fifth rank. He was quite talented to have reached such a rank at such a young age. At the very least, in the Longjiang Base City, the young man could have been admitted to the best battle pet academy.
"Yes."
The young man answered obediently. "Sir, the Dragon Tower has 33 levels. The higher you go, the more difficult it will be. There are evil spirits and demons. The higher you go, the stronger the evil spirits and demons will be. Generally speaking, those who can reach the tenth level are at the titled rank.
"Those who can reach the thirteenth level are at the intermediate position of the titled rank.
"Those at the sixteenth level are at the upper position of the titled rank.
"Those at the eighteenth level are close to the peak of the titled rank.
"If you can enter the twentieth floor, it is said that you can obtain the legendary title of Renegade."
"Senior, from what I heard earlier, are you here to look for your younger sister, Classmate Su?"
"You know him?"
Su Ping turned to look at him.
The young man felt Su Ping's gaze on him and instantly felt a sense of pressure. There was an inexplicable sense of nervousness. He hurriedly said, "I've only seen her a few times, so I can't say that I know her. However, your sister is quite a good person, unlike those geniuses from other academies who have their eyes on the top of their heads and don't even bother to say more than a few words."
Su Ping nodded slightly and said, "She came here before she disappeared. Were you there at that time? Did you see anything strange?"
The young man shook his head. "I was on duty but everything was normal. I told the Vice Principal that Miss Su tried the 15th level after reaching the 14th level but failed. She left the Dragon Tower and went missing. I don't know where she went."
Su Ping's eyes narrowed. "You saw her leave with your own eyes?"
"Yes." The young man nodded. He was a bit nervous under Su Ping's gaze.
Su Ping gazed at the young man for a moment. He didn't think the young man was lying. He looked away but his frown deepened.
She left?
Then, she didn't go missing in the Dragon Tower.
He was in deep thought.
"Senior, we're at the entrance to the first level."
The young man's voice pulled Su Ping back to reality.
In front of the two of them was a huge, pitch-black door. At the door, there were a few scribes who were dressed like teenagers. They were all quite young, and one of them was a young man who seemed to be the leader here.
The young man saw Su Ping and asked, "Are you here for a challenge?"
Su Ping came back to his senses. He looked at the dark door. Since he was already there, he had to go to the 14th level first.
"Yes." Su Ping nodded.
The young man gave Su Ping a small silver nail and said, "Senior, this is a GPS device. Be careful. If you can't beat them, you can leave at any time. I will record it for you."
Su Ping took it. "Aren't you coming with me?"
"I'm not strong enough to go with you." The young man blushed.
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He put the nail in his pocket and walked toward the black door.
The young scribe looked at the young man after the door was closed. "Sen, who is that? You seem to be afraid of him."
The reserved and obedient look on the youth's face had already disappeared. His eyes flashed as he said, "This is someone we can't afford to offend. You all know Senior Pei who just left, right? He was taught a lesson by this person. Moreover, Vice Principal Han was also present, but he didn't stop him."
"Senior Pei was taught a lesson by that guy?"
"No way!"
"The Vice Principal didn't stop him? Are you kidding?"
The young scribe and the other young men stared at Sen in disbelief.
"Hmm." Sen snorted but didn't explain.
…
"Bang!"
As the black door closed, Su Ping suddenly felt that his senses were being blocked as well.
In front of him was a dimly lit passageway.
The light came from the lamps on the walls on both sides of the corridor. The flames in the lamps flickered, and the walls were illuminated red.
Su Ping felt uncomfortable as he stared at the spacious passageway. It was as if something was staring at him from the dark.
The further he went, the stronger that feeling became.
Soon, Su Ping realized what that feeling was about.
That was his instincts telling him that he was in danger!
Was there something here that made him feel threatened?
Su Ping was surprised. According to the young man, that was only the first level of the Dragon Tower.
Even the average students could pass the first level. Why would he feel threatened?
Could it be that the danger didn't come from there, but from somewhere deeper?
Su Ping's eyes flickered. He didn't think too much about it and strode forward.
Anyway, since he was already there, he had to make a trip.
It didn't take long before he smelled blood in the air. Then, Su Ping saw a dark mist surging out from the cracks in the wall. The mist gradually gathered into a hideous figure that lunged at him like a vengeful spirit.
"Consciousness?"
Su Ping frowned. He didn't think that it was a real demon in the form of energy; it was just his imagination.
Boom!
Killing intent rose in his mind. A blade made of killing intent dashed out. That ferocious figure disappeared and the passageway went back to normal.
Su Ping pressed on. Soon, he arrived at a staircase that led to a cave.
Su Ping stepped into the cave. He found himself in another spacious passageway, similar to the one on the ground floor.
"Is this the second level?" Su Ping was surprised. So, he had already passed the first level?
But he hadn't been attacked by the evil spirit or the evil spirit that the young man had mentioned. Or, was that thing that had disturbed his consciousness the evil spirit or the evil spirit?
Su Ping didn't think too much about it. He moved on. He didn't walk fast and he kept an eye out. A long time had passed but he still wanted to find Su Lingyue's scent.
Maybe it had been too long. Su Ping sensed many different scents, but he didn't find Su Lingyue's scent.
Among them, the most obvious aura was that of the student surnamed Pei.
Woo ~!
Not long after, evil spirits condensed from the dark fog appeared on the wall again.
Su Ping slashed out with the blade of killing intent in his mind. The evil spirit was instantly dispersed, and Su Ping continued moving upward.
Third level, fourth level, fifth level …
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had reached the 10th level.
Once again, Su Ping encountered evil spirits. But this time, it wasn't his consciousness that was disturbed. It was real!
The space on the 10th level wasn't a passageway. It was a vast world with no boundaries.
It was like a secret realm world!
A large number of evil spirits and evil spirits came out. Those evil spirits were emitting a pungent smell of blood. They twisted their bodies and swarmed toward Su Ping.
Su Ping activated his astral powers and killed all the evil spirits and evil spirits that had been exhausted.
I don't think I can summon battle pets here. So, she climbed to the 14th level on her own? How is that possible? Su Ping sensed the strangeness of the 10th level. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the summoning space. It was as if he had become an ordinary person without any awakening powers.
But he could clearly sense the presence of the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon in the summoning space.
"So, this place is left behind by a Star Rank battle pet warrior. It must be a restriction," Su Ping said to himself.
He couldn't figure out how Su Lingyue had reached the 14th level on her own without using battle pets.
The young scribe was right. The evil spirits and evil spirits on the 10th level were close to the titled rank. When Su Lingyue arrived at the Valiant Academy, she was only at the fifth rank. Even if she could make rapid progress, she would be at the sixth or seventh rank at best. She was still far from the ninth rank.
Su Ping couldn't figure it out. He thought he would have to ask Han Yuxiang about it later.
As the evil spirits and evil spirits were killed, the world faded away. Su Ping found himself at the end of a passageway. In front of him was a door with a number next to it: 11.
The number was engraved on the iron plate. It must have been left behind by someone in the early years of the academy.
Su Ping looked around. He didn't see any bloodstains or scars left behind by a battle. He couldn't sense Su Lingyue's scent either.
He went on to the 11th level.
Time zipped by.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had reached the 14th level.
As he punched, all the evil spirits and evil spirits were killed. Su Ping stared at the empty space in front of him. Was this where Su Lingyue had reached?
He expanded his senses to the extreme. All of a sudden, he found a scale in a corner.
It was a silver scale the size of a fingernail.
"I can smell her and the Moonfrost Dragon. But, I don't think the Moonfrost Dragon has such a small scale. Besides, I can't summon any pets here." Su Ping looked at the scale in his hand and frowned in confusion.
The scale was Su Lingyue's.
She must have fought a hard battle here.
Su Ping put away the scale after some thought.
