Serious my ass!
Lu Qiu rolled his eyes and glared at Su Ping.
"Sir, Mr. Su is still young. Later, if he says something offensive, please don't take it to heart." Lu Qiu had no choice but to turn to the old man next to him.
The old man smiled. "It's okay. I have heard about Mr. Su. I am sure that a genius like Mr. Su will say something amazing. Geniuses are always different …"
Lu Qiu produced a forced smile.
He was indeed different. This guy was crazy!
Su Ping sized up the old man. "Sir, how should I address you?"
"Just call me Mr. Zu," Mr. Zu replied with a smile.
"Mr. Zu? Isn't it the other way around? "Su Ping blinked.
The others were dumbfounded. How dare this guy make fun of their president like that?!
Lu Qiu was also shocked. He quickly said, "Mr. Su!"
"Ha, ha …"
Elder Zu laughed and said, "Mister Su is indeed extraordinary. You don't stick to one style. This old one's surname is Zu, and everyone calls me that. Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case.
"Mr. Zu, the Deep Caves are in turmoil and the world is in chaos. The Holy Light Base may not be a safe place. I heard from Lu Qiu that you are half a step away from the Holy Spirit Realm. Do you want to go to my place? There is an absolutely safe place that can keep you safe."
Su Ping invited Mr. Zu.
Su Ping could tell that the old man was a nice guy. He was worth helping.
After all, the old man had a chance to become a Holy Spirit Trainer. It would be a shame if he died there.
"Mr. Su!" Lu Qiu was losing patience.
Didn't you say you wouldn't talk nonsense?
Why are you talking about this again?!
Apart from the Tower, was there a safer place in the world than the Holy Light Base City?
Besides, this was a holy place for trainers. Su Ping kept saying that he wanted the owner of this holy place to move. What a joke!
Elder Zu stared at Su Ping in astonishment. He looked closely at him, and when he saw the sincerity in his eyes, he was even more astonished.
"Mr. Su, I heard that you're not only a top trainer, but also an outstanding battle pet warrior. You can kill legendary battle pet warriors when you're at the titled rank, and you can even break into and out of the Tower. Who is your teacher?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent.
Lu Qiu and the other top trainers were dumbfounded.
A titled battle pet warrior killing a legendary battle pet warrior?
Breaking into and out of the Tower?!
Was he telling a story? How was that possible?
"Has Ancestral Elder heard about me?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the other party had investigated his past. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know so much.
It was no wonder that the other party was so polite to him.
"I don't care who my teacher is. It has nothing to do with what I do. The legendary battle pet warriors I killed were those who offended me or deserved to die. As for the Tower … since you know that I'm not on good terms with the Tower, I won't hide it from you. But I didn't invite you because I wanted to make things difficult for the Tower.
"On the contrary, I will be happy if the Tower can protect the Holy Light Base City."
Lu Qiu and the others stared at Su Ping in astonishment. They realized that they knew too little about Su Ping.
A top trainer and a Renegade who had killed legendary battle pet warriors?
His innate talent was a little too high!
Elder Zu gazed at Su Ping and nodded. "You're right. I trust you, Mr. Su Ping. Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, I'm the Chairman here. For me, the Holy Light Base City is more than just my hometown. It's a place that I've been fighting for my entire life.
"Even if something were to happen, I would be willing to stand with the Holy Light Base City until the very end."
He added with a smile, "Of course, it would be best if nothing were to happen."
"… Okay."
Su Ping couldn't persuade him any further. He put himself in Elder Zu's shoes. If he were in Elder Zu's shoes and he were asked to leave the Longjiang Base City to save his own life … he would definitely go!
Fine, he couldn't figure it out.
Su Ping shook his head. Wouldn't it be better to stay alive first and then go back to rebuild his hometown? Why would he choose to die with the Holy Light Base City?
Of course, Su Ping didn't agree with Elder Zu's decision but he respected it.
Because it was a belief.
Beliefs were precious and worthy of respect.
"Mr. Su Ping, are you here to help us?" Elder Zu asked with a smile.
Su Ping nodded. "I happened to be working in the nearby Longyang Base City. I heard that something had happened so I decided to come and help. The wild beasts have been mostly dealt with. All the beast kings have been killed and only some below the Beast King rank are left. They won't be able to pose a threat."
"We heard about it from Lu Qiu. We are verifying the situation at the frontline."
Elder Zu darted a look at Su Ping. "I heard that you were the one who killed the beast kings. On behalf of all the people of the Holy Light Base City, I would like to thank you for your help!"
With that said, Elder Zu stood up straight, put his hands on his chest, and bowed.
Elder Zu's bow startled Lu Qiu and the others.
Elder Zu was the only one who could receive such a bow from him. Only the old legendary battle pet warriors were qualified to do so!
Even the legendary battle pet warriors at the Ocean State would have to treat Elder Zu with respect. Since Elder Zu had reached the Holy Spirit Realm, the legendary battle pet warriors at the Ocean State would have to ask him to train their pets.
"Sir, you can't do that."
"Please stand up."
The others tried to persuade him. They wanted to straighten Elder Zu's back but didn't have the courage to do so.
Su Ping didn't expect that Elder Zu would be so polite. He used astral powers to lift Elder Zu's hands. "Sir, you're too kind. This is a small matter for me. Besides, I'm not doing this for free. Lu Qiu gave me three scrolls of master training notes. That's enough as a thank you gift."
Elder Zu was lifted up. He was surprised by Su Ping's words. He looked at Lu Qiu who was trying to help Elder Zu up. Elder Zu glared at Lu Qiu.
"What's the big deal? Mr. Su, are you asking for your student?" Elder Zu asked.
Su Ping produced a forced smile. "Sir, it seems that you know a lot about me. Yes, it's for my student from the Zhong family. I don't have time to teach her. She needs to figure it out on her own."
Elder Zu suddenly realized what was going on. He pulled a long face and said to Lu Qiu, "Lu, Mr. Su has done so much for the Holy Light Base City. He saved all of us. Is this how you repay him? From now on, Mr. Su can take anything he wants as long as we have it! "
Lu Qiu was stunned.
The people around him were also stunned. Their mouths were wide open, and their faces were filled with astonishment.
Su Ping could take anything the Union had?
Besides, there was no proof of the strike of wild beasts. It was just a suspicion!
That was just Su Ping's baseless claim. How could they believe it?
"Sir, Sir, we haven't found anything yet. I know that Mr. Su is here to help, but, but …" Lu Qiu wanted to explain but he didn't know where to begin.
Elder Zu said grumpily, "Go and ask Clairvoyant about who Mr. Su is. He killed a legendary battle pet warrior in front of everyone at the Supremacy League and then he left after killing a legendary battle pet warrior in the Tower. The Tower hasn't looked into the matter. Mr. Su is so powerful. What's so strange about him killing beast kings? Why would he lie?!"
Lu Qiu and the others were speechless. Was what Elder Zu had said true?
They looked at Su Ping in confusion.
Given the president's status, it was obvious that he disdained to lie. However, this was simply too unbelievable.
Su Ping didn't know what to say. He said to Elder Zu, "Sir, thank you for your kindness. If that's the case, please give me dozens of scrolls of master trainers' notes and top trainers' notes. Take as many as you can and I'll return them to you when I'm done with them."
The others came back to their senses. Su Ping's exorbitant demand had scared them.
Dozens of scrolls? He was going to take everything!
"Brother, Brother Su …" Lu Qiu was trembling. What would he have left if he took all the notes?
Elder Zu's eyes were filled with confusion. "Mr. Su, I don't think your little disciple will be able to read all of this."
"Take your time. She'll finish them all."
Lu Qiu chimed in, "Then take them when she's done."
Su Ping answered, "I'm afraid that I'll run out if I take more."
"How can you say that? We have a good collection … "Lu Qiu said in a hurry.
Su Ping shook his head. "As I said, the situation is complicated. I have dealt with the strike today but no one can say for sure if there will be more strikes. The Tower doesn't have any legendary battle pet warriors to help. Do you think you can survive?"
Lu Qiu was stunned. He opened his mouth but no words came out.
Elder Zu's eyes flickered as he asked, "Mister Su, do you know something?"
Su Ping nodded. "You can wait for the Tower to tell you the details. I can't tell you too much in case the people at the bottom of the society panic. All in all, it's dangerous out there. Even the Holy Light Base City could be gone if something were to happen. If you want to live, you can go to the Longjiang Base City. I will try my best to protect that place."
Elder Zu didn't know what to say. His eyes trembled and he gradually quieted down.
Lu Qiu and the others narrowed their eyes. Clearly, Elder Zu believed Su Ping. Was it true that the Tower would be unable to deal with the chaos that was about to befall the Longjiang Base City?!
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Su." Elder Zu came back to his senses and said to Su Ping.
"Don't mention it. You can go whenever you want," Su Ping said, "I'm in a hurry. About the notes …"
"Lu, take Mr. Su to get them," Elder Zu said to Lu Qiu, "Mr. Su, pick whatever you like. Do you understand?"
Lu Qiu nodded at once.
Su Ping gave him a strange look. Old Lu had become Lu Qiu.
"Shi, take your daughters to my place when you have time," Su Ping said to the middle-aged man standing at the edge of the group.
That middle-aged man was Shi Haochi. He knew that Su Ping had come to see him. However, after hearing the conversation between Su Ping and the Chairman, Shi Haochi's joy of reuniting with Su Ping became complicated.
"I will."
Shi Haochi made up his mind.
Unlike Lu Qiu and the others, Shi Haochi's wife had passed away when he was young. What he cared about the most were his two daughters. As long as they were safe, Shi Haochi was willing to give up his master trainer badge forever.
After saying goodbye to them, Su Ping left with Lu Qiu. They went back to the place where they had collected the notes. Su Ping went in with them and took away all the notes.
There were also some artifacts and armors for battle pets that Su Ping didn't pick out. He left those items for the battle pet warriors in the Holy Light Base City. If the Holy Light Base City was in trouble again, those items would have to be distributed by the headquarters of the Trainers Association so that the battle pet warriors in the Holy Light Base City could use them.
"Let's go."
Lu Qiu was relieved to see that Su Ping had turned a blind eye to those rare treasures. He felt he could not see through Su Ping.
"Are you leaving now? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Qiu asked, "The Chairman has a good impression of you. I'm sure he will give you some guidance if you ask him about the path of the Holy Spirit School."
Su Ping looked at Lu Qiu helplessly. "Old Lu, it's pointless to become a Holy Spirit Trainer at the moment. The wild beasts are about to arrive. What's the point of becoming a Holy Spirit Trainer?
"It takes time for a Holy Spirit Trainer to train a beast king. You can't turn a stone into gold in a short period of time," Su Ping said.
"The wild beasts won't give you any time to train a beast king."
Lu Qiu was taken aback. "Is that really the case?"
"Something like that."
Su Ping patted Lu Qiu's shoulder and left without saying anything else.
Of course, Lu Qiu wouldn't let Su Ping go alone. He went to see him off.
Soon, the two of them left the headquarters and flew toward the outer wall of the base city.
They were about to reach the outer wall when all of a sudden, the outer wall began to tremble. Then, one of the outer walls cracked!
Many thick and dark tentacles reached out from the cracked outer wall. Each tentacle was over a hundred meters long.
The outer wall had been created by pets of the stone family. It was tough and resilient. Not even a missile would be able to scratch the outer wall. However, the outer wall had been torn apart.
Roar!!
The roar came from under the outer wall. Many battle pet warriors didn't have time to react and fell down, drowning in the dust.
"A beast!"
Lu Qiu narrowed his eyes. He heard a beeping sound coming from his pocket. Even though he was wearing clothes, a blue glow was coming out. It was the Beast Detector.
Su Ping frowned. Something had slipped through the net, and it was a big one!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Right then, many people flew up from the outer wall. Then, dozens of swirls appeared around those people. Many ferocious-looking battle pets dashed out. Some were tigers with wings, some were strange mantises, and some were dancing like ghosts.
Those wild beasts dashed out and used their skills to attack the tentacles.
However, those ferocious ninth-rank beasts were dwarfed by those thick tentacles. Even three or four battle pets couldn't compare to one tentacle.
Roar!!
Right then, a roar burst out from the outer wall, echoing for dozens of miles.
