"Well …"
Han Yuxiang was a bit nervous. "I've checked, but the surveillance barrier around this area stopped working at that time. Something happened, so I couldn't find anything from the surveillance."
"Failed?"
Su Ping sneered. "The Valiant Academy is the best academy. How can the surveillance seal fail? Do they fail often or occasionally? "
"Well, it's usually fine, but this time …" Han Yuxiang said awkwardly.
"Is that so? Are you going to tell me that it's a coincidence?"
"Well, of course not. It's definitely not a coincidence. I knew something was wrong so I checked all the surveillance seals. But I didn't find anything suspicious," Han Yuxiang explained at once.
Su Ping squinted his eyes. "You didn't find anything, or you didn't have the courage to ask or tell me?"
He could tell that the Valiant Academy was a place where geniuses gathered and the forces behind those geniuses were complicated. Even Han Yuxiang, a titled battle pet warrior at the peak, didn't dare to be too arrogant.
That could be seen from the fact that the student named Pei who claimed to be Han Yuxiang's student had no respect for his teacher.
Han Yuxiang realized what was on Su Ping's mind. The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to deal with Su Ping. Someone in their twenties could never have come up with such shrewdness and shrewdness. However, Su Ping was able to enter the Dragon Tower and his age had been checked. Han Yuxiang could not imagine what kind of person could have trained such a horrifying person.
"It's not that I don't have the courage to ask. I really couldn't find anything." Han Yuxiang had to admit.
Su Ping snorted. "Take me to the surveillance seals. I want to see the ones from that day."
"Sure."
Han Yuxiang nodded at once. He had kept the records because he knew that they would come in handy.
"What if the Principal comes …" Han Yuxiang stopped on second thought.
"Since he's here, just tell him to come and find me."
"Oh, alright."
Han Yuxiang didn't dare to disobey Su Ping. The Principal was at the legendary rank but Su Ping was able to kill legendary battle pet warriors. Han Yuxiang knew a thing or two about the legendary rank. It was said that the Principal was only at the first rank, not the second rank. The old man from the Qin family that Su Ping had killed was also at the first rank.
Based on that, he believed that Su Ping's combat strength should be on par with the Principal's. If the legendary battle pet warrior in Su Ping's store who had defeated Yuan Tianchen was taken into account, then Su Ping would be more terrifying than the Principal's.
Mo Fengping noticed the way his teacher treated Su Ping. He had sensed Han Yuxiang's fear of Su Ping on their way here.
He couldn't see through this young man's background.
A glint of anger rose in Fei Tianyi's eyes. As proud as he was, the Principal was as important to him as Han Yuxiang, his teacher.
After all, the Principal was a legendary battle pet warrior!
Not only was the Principal's cultivation rank impressive, but his life experience and the way he conducted himself were also admirable. But Su Ping didn't seem to care, which was unacceptable.
That being said, Mo Fengping wasn't an idiot. Even though he was angry, he knew that if that record was true, he would be no match for Su Ping.
Han Yuxiang's attitude toward Su Ping was proof of that.
Han Yuxiang led the way and Su Ping followed him. Fei Tianyi wanted to see what was going on and meet the Principal.
Many students had the same idea as Fei Tianyi. Many of them followed him to see what was going to happen.
Soon, they moved from the Dragon Tower to a building that was used to monitor the entire academy.
Han Yuxiang told the students to wait outside. Only Su Ping, Mo Fengping, Xu Kuang, and Fei Tianyi were allowed to go in.
Han Yuxiang told the person in charge to show them the record of that day.
Su Ping stood in front of the monitor.
A holographic image was projected in the spacious hall. It was the record of the Dragon Tower.
Su Ping saw Su Lingyue in the record. It had been a while since he last saw her. She seemed to have grown up. She was no longer the arrogant and naughty girl she used to be back in the Longjiang Base City.
When a person went out alone and was independent for a period of time, he grew and changed too quickly.
Su Ping's mind was wandering as he watched in silence.
After watching for about half an hour, there was a sudden commotion outside. There were also bursts of exclamations.
Everyone in the hall was alarmed. Mo Fengping, Xu Kuang, and Fei Tianyi turned to look at the door. They seemed to have figured out what was going on. Fei Tianyi, on the other hand, was the least excited. He was just looking forward to seeing what was going on.
Soon, an old man in a soft, snow-white robe walked in from outside the door.
He was wearing a blue hat, which made him look like an old scholar.
He had a scholarly air about him, but if one were to look closely, they would be able to tell that there was something profound about him.
"Sir."
"Sir."
"Sir, nice to meet you."
They all greeted the old man in different ways.
Han Yuxiang went to greet the old man. "Sir, you're here. Mr. Su has been waiting for you."
"I know."
The old man nodded. He cast a glance at the young man who was watching the monitor. A glint of concern flashed past his eyes. Then, with a kind smile, the old man stepped forward and said, "You must be the Renegade Su, the one who came out of nowhere, right?"
Renegade?
Mo Fengping, Xu Kuang, and Fei Tianyi stared at Su Ping with their eyes wide open.
Su Ping is a Renegade?!
They knew full well what that title meant. Only those who had surpassed the peak of the titled rank and were as powerful as legendary battle pet warriors could get that title!
In history, the number of Renegade Su Ping was less than the number of legendary battle pet warriors!
Su Ping was a Renegade Su Ping?!
Fei Tianyi found it hard to believe. Su Ping was able to enter the Dragon Tower and was of the same generation as him. Not only was Su Ping more powerful than him, he was also a Renegade Su Ping!
This kind of combat strength was already not just a little bit inferior to his!
Fei Tianyi's heart skipped a beat as he remembered the record. If Su Ping had the title of Fate Challenger, then he could have made it to the 33rd level.
But …
Fei Tianyi was already one of the best students in the academy in the past hundred years!
But compared to Su Ping, Fei Tianyi and Fei Tianyi were much more powerful.
More powerful than Fei Tianyi and Fei Tianyi were!
Was there really such a freak in the world?!
Su Ping withdrew his gaze from the seal after hearing the voice. He raised his hand and released a stream of energy to freeze the seal, in case he missed out on what was going to happen next.
"You're the Principal?"
Su Ping looked at the old man who was wearing a blue hat that failed to cover his white hair. Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "You're at the legendary rank?"
The old man smiled and cupped his fists. "I'm just at the legendary rank. I'm nothing compared to Renegade Su."
"What's your name?"
"Yun Wanli. Mr. Su, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Yun," Yun Wanli said with a grin.
Mo Fengping, Fei Tianyi, and the others were stunned. Han Yuxiang was surprised as well. He knew that Su Ping was as powerful as a legendary battle pet warrior but he didn't expect that the Principal would be so humble in front of Su Ping. He had even lowered himself to call Su Ping a brother.
That was the first time Han Yuxiang had seen someone like that.
Su Ping was at the legendary rank!
"Okay, I'll call you Brother Yun. What I'm going to say next is about the Dragon Tower. I don't think it's convenient for others to hear. Let me talk to you in private," Su Ping said.
Yun Wanli was startled. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Okay, let's go outside and talk."
"Sure."
Su Ping agreed and disappeared in a flash.
Yun Wanli was stunned. His pupils shrank slightly. This was genuine teleportation!
That was something that only legendary battle pet warriors at the Void State could do. Su Ping was only at the titled rank. How could he do that so easily?!
Yun Wanli was shocked. He had heard about how horrifying Renegade Su was. Only after witnessing it with his own eyes did he truly understand.
No wonder Su Ping was able to make a scene in the Tower, kill a legendary battle pet warrior, and escape unscathed!
Yun Wanli didn't say anything. He walked out of the hall. He looked up and saw Su Ping standing in the air. Yun Wanli flew up to catch up to him.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows since Yun Wanli didn't go after him. Yun Wanli was only at the Ocean State. Su Ping had thought that Yun Wanli would have learned how to teleport.
"Renegade Su, go ahead," Yun Wanli said seriously as he set up a seal.
Su Ping nodded. "The Dragon Tower is not a place for ordinary tests, is it? Do you know where it came from? I went to the Dragon Tower to look for clues about my sister and something happened. I smashed a hole through the top of the tower. I don't know what the monsters inside are afraid of, but they didn't come out. I don't know when they will come out. Once they do, they will destroy the Valiant Academy in an instant.
"By that time, countless people in the Longyang Base City will be buried with them, including the entire Subcontinent District. Unless all the legendary battle pet warriors in the Tower come out in full force, no one will be able to stop them."
Yun Wanli put on a bitter smile. "I knew it. Sooner or later, this would be a disaster!"
"What do you mean?"
"The Dragon Tower is not a common place. When the first principal visited this place, he noticed something strange about the Dragon Tower. That was why he built the academy here.
"As he explored, he realized that the Dragon Tower was not a simple place. For a period of time, the Dragon Tower was listed as a forbidden area!
"Later, under the third principal's guidance, the Dragon Tower was reopened and became a place for students to test their talents."
Yun Wanli heaved a sigh and forced a bitter smile. "The Dragon Tower is a relic from the old days. It was already on the Blue Planet before the era of astral pets arrived, but it was hidden underground. Later, at the beginning of the era of astral pets, the battle between the two first-generation beasts shook the earth and the Dragon Tower emerged from the ground."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. The Dragon Tower was the finger of the Heaven Murderer. That Heaven Murderer must have been a super powerful warrior. He could have cut off time with one finger and preserved the illusions Su Ping had seen from time to time. He must have been a powerful warrior from the ancient times.
"I have broken the Dragon Tower. Do you have a way to deal with the things inside?" Su Ping asked Yun Wanli.
Yun Wanli came back to his senses. He curled his lips. You broke the Dragon Tower and now you're asking me for a solution?
Isn't it supposed to be fixed by whoever broke the Dragon Tower?
Yun Wanli was speechless, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could tell that Su Ping wasn't a bad guy since he was willing to talk to him about the matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up. If the Subcontinent District were to fall, there would be plenty of places for legendary battle pet warriors to stay.
"There is a way," Yun Wanli said.
Yun Wanli said, "When the Third Mansion Master opened this place, he had already thought of a solution. He set up an ancient secret formation outside the pagoda. It's the Soul Refining Formation, which is specially used to suppress dead spirits and evil!"
"I will ask some friends to come over and Renegade Su to help me fix the Dragon Tower. As long as the formation is still there, we will be safe for now."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and heaved a sigh of relief. "Good. It seems that I haven't messed up that badly. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome to kill all the monsters in there."
Yun Wanli didn't know what to say.
He had only been to the Dragon Tower when he was young. But from the information he gathered, he knew that the top floor was extremely dangerous. It was almost impossible to kill all the monsters there, unless, as Su Ping said, the Tower sent out all its forces, including the Master of the Tower!
"Do you know why the Dragon Tower only allows people over the age of 24 to enter?" Su Ping asked.
Yun Wanli shook his head. "I don't know. That's a strange thing that has been going on ever since the tower was created. No one knows why."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. That was a rule that came with the finger itself.
But that rule was strange. Maybe he could ask Joanna about it later.
"If that can be solved, then I don't have to worry about it. I need to get back to my business," Su Ping said. He didn't want to think about that. He had to find Su Lingyue first.
"I heard that your sister is missing. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Not at the moment."
With that said, Su Ping teleported back to the lobby.
Yun Wanli could not believe that Su Ping had disappeared all of a sudden. He, a legendary battle pet warrior at the Ocean State, was unable to teleport, but Su Ping, a titled battle pet warrior, was able to do so. That was a slap in his face.
Yun Wanli had to go back to the lobby.
Since he was there, he couldn't just leave without Su Ping.
Su Ping and the Principal came back one after another. Everyone in the lobby stared at them in surprise, wondering what they had been talking about.
However, Han Yuxiang and Mo Fengping heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the calm expression on the principal's face. It seemed that the negotiation had gone well.
"Go on."
Su Ping said to Han Yuxiang.
Han Yuxiang came back to his senses. He told the staff to help Su Ping look through the surveillance videos.
Su Ping went through the videos quickly. Soon, he had finished looking through all the surveillance videos. Some of them were not working. He could only see her coming out of the dormitory and going to other training areas.
Su Ping looked through the videos again but found nothing suspicious.
He frowned. After a moment of thought, he said to Han Yuxiang, "Get all the students here. I want to ask them one by one."
Han Yuxiang was surprised. "One by one?"
"Since the surveillance cameras are no longer working, those students are the best surveillance cameras. Someone must have seen her in the places where the cameras are no longer working," Su Ping said.
Han Yuxiang turned to the Principal.
Gather all the students so that Su Ping could ask them one by one?
That would be hard to do, except for the opening ceremony or some other important events.
One must know that all of these students had their own backgrounds. How could they possibly be ordinary students whom you could bully and interrogate as you pleased?
