"Well, not bad …"
The middle-aged man nodded every now and then as he read.
There were many promising students who were as talented as the candidates. He wondered if any of them had a constitution. If they did, they would be even more successful in the future.
That was also why the academy required those who were selected to have an innate combat constitution.
They wanted to train students not only to reach the Fate State, but also to become Star Rank warriors who could travel across the universe!
In the Interstellar Federation, those who couldn't travel across the universe would be stuck on one planet with no future.
"Find them for us. I want to test them myself," the middle-aged man said.
Pages of information flew out from the pile; all of them were the top talents of the Blue Star Academy.
Gu Siping, Yuan Tianchen, and the other legendary battle pet warriors didn't say anything as they read the list. Gu Siping humbly said yes and told someone to contact the candidates.
Soon, after he finished selecting the information from the various academies, there was information on some secret realms and some strange trial grounds. Some strange fellows had been born there, but their ages and identities were mostly unknown.
The middle-aged man browsed through the information. Every now and then, a few pages of information would fly out from the pile.
"This is interesting. Usually, only those at the initial ninth rank can reach the tenth level. How did this guy reach the twelfth level? His soul is quite strong … "
"Mysterious Realms? The sixth level is at the initial ninth rank and the seventh level is at the Ocean State … How did he reach the ninth level? He broke the record … "
The middle-aged man looked at Yuan Linglu and raised his eyebrows. "Do you know the one who broke the record with you?"
Yuan Linglu tightened her grip on the sword hilt. She was about to say something when she suddenly felt her grandpa's presence behind her. Her heart skipped a beat.
If Su Ping were to take the test as well, he would definitely be selected, given his aptitude!
Unless Su Ping's bone age was over 22, he would also be chosen to go to that academy.
Given his current combat strength, he would be a dazzling star even if he went there. She would never have the chance to catch up with him in this lifetime after he was trained there!
After two seconds of silence, Yuan Linglu lowered her head. "Sir, I don't know him."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and looked at her for a while. He withdrew his gaze and said to Gu Siping, "Go and investigate this person's information. If the age matches, I will test him."
Gu Siping glanced at the information. His eyes flashed slightly as he said calmly, "Okay."
"That's not bad. Those who can enter the Secret Realm of Deepest Sea should be at least in the Ocean State. This person can do it even though he's not at the Legendary stage.
"And this. Go and look for it."
Pages of information were flipped out and thrown to Gu Siping.
Soon, he had finished reading all the information. The middle-aged man picked out thirteen pieces of information, eight of which came from the top universities in the world.
"Contact him as soon as possible," said the middle-aged man surnamed Fang, as if he were giving orders.
Gu Siping nodded. He gave the information to the Legendary Battle Pet Warrior and relayed the instructions.
After giving his instructions, Gu Siping looked at the middle-aged man with the surname Fang and said carefully, "Senior, these people are scattered all over the world. It will be difficult to find them in such a short time. After all, they are not the ones who applied to be selected, and we don't have any intention of protecting them. Some of them might have already met with misfortune …"
"It's okay. Just do your best."
The middle-aged man said casually.
Gu Siping nodded and continued, "Senior, you must be tired from the journey. Why don't you take a rest here for a couple of days and try our local specialties? I still have a hundred-year-old divine wine made from extremely precious spirit herbs. Ordinary people can live for hundreds of years without getting sick after drinking a mouthful of it. Cultivators like us can also accumulate astral power and improve our power of understanding and Reiki …"
The eyes of the other Fate State warriors glittered when they heard that.
Accumulate astral powers and improve understanding?
Things that could increase one's comprehension ability were all rare treasures!
Besides, generally speaking, anything that worked for humans would work for battle pets as well.
"Mr. Fang, should we …"
A middle-aged man with a curly beard on his face licked his lips, his eyes burning with passion.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and saw his greedy look. He shook his head and said, "You drunkard, sooner or later you will ruin things because of alcohol. Well, since Mr. Gu has kindly invited me, I will stay here for two days and take a look around. I want to see the origin of our human race …"
The Blue Star was the birthplace of the Interstellar Federation. Mankind had stepped out from the Blue Star to conquer the universe.
However, the journey was too long. Mankind's seeds were spread across the universe and many planets were found suitable for human habitation.
Later, with the advancement of technology, some uninhabitable planets were transformed into habitable planets.
Humans were born on those planets. Generation after generation, they regarded their own planets as their home, their ancestral home.
As time went by, the Blue Star, the birthplace, gradually became less and less memorable. It was like the people of some countries who didn't care if they were invaders or the origin of their race.
Time wore away everything. The birthplace was a nostalgia for a few people, but it was meaningless in reality.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang."
Gu Siping hurried to express his gratitude.
He had been saving the wine for a hundred years. He was reluctant to give it out even when other legendary battle pet warriors asked him for it. Now, he had to thank Fang Ping for giving it to him.
Thank Fang Ping for doing him the honor!
That was the value of status!
The middle-aged man with the curly beard scratched his head and smiled foolishly at the middle-aged man surnamed Fang's words. He looked simple and honest, but his companions all knew that his thoughts were not as simple as they seemed.
"The Blue Star is facing a disaster that hasn't been seen in hundreds of years. Mr. Fang, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go sightseeing. What if some wild beasts offend you …" Gu Siping spoke carefully and in a low voice. He was considering his words carefully.
"It's okay. Just kill them."
The middle-aged man chuckled. "As long as you don't feel bad."
Gu Siping smiled. Why would he feel bad?
Since Fang Siping didn't respond, Gu Siping lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Fang, I have a presumptuous request. There are many wild beasts at the Fate State in this strike. According to the information we have, there are at least eight of them. I'd like to …"
Before he could finish, the smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared, and he waved his hand to stop him from continuing. He said indifferently, "We are here to pick up these selected people. I saw the incident of you guys encountering the Beast Tide, and I can understand. However, we have a rule that we are not to interfere with the affairs of other planets."
"So, I'm sorry, but I can't help you."
Gu Siping and the others were startled by the direct refusal.
Yuan Linglu was worried as well. She was worried that something would happen to her grandpa after she left.
After all, there were many Fate State wild beasts. Just now, the Tower Master had said that there were eight of them … That was enough to frighten her. That was equal to eight Tower Masters!
All of a sudden, a person popped into her mind.
He didn't know if that person could withstand it.
"Mr. Fang, this strike isn't normal. If you don't help us, we might be wiped out. The Blue Star will become a world of wild beasts. This is the planet of origin for mankind. Do you have the heart to see this place fall? Besides, the population of the Blue Star is over seven billion …" Gu Siping said in a hurry.
The other legendary battle pet warriors were also anxious and begging. The candidates could leave but they had to stay!
None of them wanted to face such a strike.
And this Mr. Fang was a Starlight level master!
He could kill a Fate State wild beast as if he were killing a chicken. He could crush it with one finger!
If they could ask Mr. Fang for help, they would be able to quell the strike quickly and the Blue Star wouldn't suffer too much damage. They could continue to develop their technology. In hundreds of years, they might be able to build an interstellar spaceship and connect the Blue Star to the Interstellar Federation. Even though it would be tiring and dangerous to go back and forth, at the very least, the Blue Star would no longer be an abandoned planet!
Once they could connect with the Interstellar Federation, the talents of the Blue Planet would be able to continuously enter the Interstellar Federation. Once they obtained power from the Interstellar Federation, they would be able to use it to nourish the Blue Planet. As time passed, the Blue Planet would also become one of the habitable planets of the Interstellar Federation.
The middle-aged man surnamed Fang and the other Fate State warriors frowned when they heard what they said.
"Mister Gu, I've already made myself clear. Are you trying to force me?" The middle-aged man stared at Gu Siping with a cold glare.
Gu Siping's heart skipped a beat. He felt all the pores on his body were tightening. "No, no, no. That's not what I meant. I'm just pitying so many innocent lives …"
"Life and death are predestined. Every planet has its own process of development."
"If you can't survive here, it proves that this place is not suitable for humans to live."
The middle-aged man continued, "If we weren't afraid of missing out, we would have gone back right away. We wouldn't have had the time to stay here."
Gu Siping nodded. "Yes, yes, yes …"
"Let's not talk about this again. Also, find the people I've just selected. We'll stay here for one day at most. This is a chance for you. You should feel honored that the Blue Star has the chance to let us select people. As long as they can make a name for themselves in the future, these wild beasts won't be worth mentioning."
With that said, the middle-aged man turned to Yuan Linglu and the others. "Your hometown is facing a strike of wild beasts. If you want to save your hometown, then work hard when you get to the academy. The competition there is much crueler than here. Also, the things you have to learn there are more than you can imagine."
"That's right. The way you fight here is too primitive. The training of battle pets and the way battle pet warriors fight are no different from those of primitive people," the red-haired girl added.
They looked down on Gu Siping and the others.
Even though Gu Siping was also at the Fate State like them, they didn't care at all. They could easily beat him.
They had heard rumors that on such primitive planets, battle pet warriors would hide in the back and let their battle pets fight in the front.
What a silly way to fight.
What was a battle pet warrior?
Battle pets aside, a battle pet warrior could be strong on his own, even stronger than his battle pets!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go far by relying on the contract.
After all, once a battle pet warrior reached a certain level, it would be difficult to control his battle pets by relying on the contract.
If the battle pet warriors were not strong enough, their battle pets could turn on them at any time!
Yuan Linglu and the others kept their mouths shut. They lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Okay, go and make the arrangements." The middle-aged man didn't say anything else. He turned around and flew back to the battleship.
The others followed him. Before the middle-aged man with the curly beard left, he said to Gu Siping with a grin, "Well, don't forget about the hundred-year-old wine you mentioned."
Gu Siping forced a smile. "I won't forget."
They all boarded the battleship. The battleship rose to the sky and floated above the mountain where Gu Siping lived. The battleship could be seen from anywhere in the Mysterious Realm.
Some legendary battle pet warriors were unhappy to see that but said nothing. They didn't even show their resentment.
Gu Siping said to Yuan Tianchen and the others, "You should go back as well. Leave the kids here. The world is in dire need of manpower. You should go back as well."
Yuan Tianchen and the others were gloomy but they didn't dare to say anything. They cupped their fists and said goodbye to Gu Siping. Then, they told the people they had brought and left.
Yuan Linglu clenched her fists as her grandpa left.
She didn't know if this would be the last time they would see each other!
He could have helped her. Why didn't he? She couldn't understand.
He said that he couldn't meddle in the affairs of other planets … She wasn't a fool. That had to be an excuse.
If that wasn't an excuse, then Gu Siping, as the master of the Tower, wouldn't have been so afraid of him. She was sure that if any legendary battle pet warrior had offended Mr. Fang, he would have slapped that legendary battle pet warrior to death!
He could kill the people there but he didn't kill the beasts. What was the meaning of that?!
The resentment and hatred in her heart were deeply hidden in her eyes. She secretly made up her mind that when she went there, she would work hard to cultivate and come back as soon as possible!
Next to her, Gu Siping looked at Yuan Linglu and the others, as well as his grandsons. He heaved a sigh when he saw the anger and resentment in their eyes.
He had an inkling that Mr. Fang was trying to motivate them.
As for whether they would hate him or not, Mr. Fang didn't care.
What made Gu Siping sigh was that … Mr. Fang was willing to sacrifice the lives of billions of people on this planet as a way to motivate them.
Their lives were worthless!
In Mr. Fang's eyes, the natives of the Blue Star were primitive people. They weren't even human. They weren't their own kind.
It was like how humans viewed chimpanzees.
There was no compassion!
