Inside the store, Dao Zun and the others looked at the battle pets one by one. They would register the battle pets they had picked with Tang Ruyan and buy the best ones.
"They are all at the Void State, and they are all at the advanced stage …"
They were shocked after looking at over a dozen battle pets. Su Ping wasn't lying. Those were all at the Void State!
There were so many battle pets. Did Su Ping get them from the Deep Caves?
Thinking of this, their expressions became a little strange.
Using the Deep Caves to defeat the Deep Caves?
Soon, the battle pets were bought one after another.
"Six …"
Venerable the Blade had chosen six battle pets. He was hesitating as he stared at the remaining battle pets. He had eleven battle pet slots, but he already had quite a number of battle pets. He only had three slots left. If he were to buy six battle pets, he would have to cancel the contracts with three battle pets!
Of the eight battle pets he had, he could choose three to cancel the contracts with and the other five … were the battle pets that had been with him all the time and had saved him in times of crisis!
How could he give them up?
Dao Zun wasn't the only one struggling. Qin Duhuang was also in a dilemma. He had many battle pets of his own. Apart from the beast king that Su Ping had sold to him, the other battle pets were his old friends.
Should he give them up?
Qin Duhuang looked at the Void State battle pets in front of him. He was in a dilemma.
Su Ping noticed the looks on Dao Zun and Qin Duhuang's faces. He knew what they were thinking. That was what he had expected. At the same time, it was a test for them.
Should they give up the battle pets that had been with them and choose stronger ones, or should they continue to fight with their old battle pets?
As far as Su Ping was concerned, there was no absolute right or wrong choice for him.
After all, the strike of wild beasts was coming. Of course, choosing the old battle pets would mean that they wouldn't be able to improve their combat strength. In times of crisis, the battle pets would be wiped out.
But … Su Ping didn't think he could give up the battle pets.
"Mr. Su."
Dao Zun walked up to Su Ping with a gloomy face and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any Demon-Sealing Chains or Demon-Sealing Cages?"
What are those …? Su Ping was puzzled, but the System immediately gave him an answer. "Demon-Sealing Chains and Demon-Sealing Cages are low-level beast-catching tools created by your Blue Star. They can imprison Demonic Beasts, but if the Demonic Beast is ferocious enough and struggles with all its might, it can easily break free."
Su Ping suddenly understood.
Was this the inferior version of the beast-catching ring?
"That's right," the System said.
"…"
Su Ping took a deep breath and said to Dao Zun, "No. I think other pet stores sell this. Do you want to use it on the battle pets that you have terminated?"
Dao Zun was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that Su Ping's pet store didn't even have that … Then, how did you capture those battle pets? With your fists?
Dao Zun curled his lips at the thought of that. It was highly possible …
"If you don't have it, then I will have to go to other stores." Dao Zun nodded. "I want to imprison the battle pets that I have terminated. When I reach the Void State, I will be able to increase the number of battle pets I can sign contracts with. By then, I will be able to sign contracts with them."
So, he still doesn't want to part with them … Su Ping gazed at him and nodded. "No problem. You can terminate the contract here. You can leave the battle pets that you have terminated with here. You can come back to pick them up when you have the Demon-Sealing Chains. Of course, there will be a fee for that."
Dao Zun breathed in relief. "Good."
That way, he could terminate the contract right away. Otherwise, he would have to buy the Demon-Sealing Chains first.
Right then, Qin Duhuang came over. He looked at Dao Zun and forced a bitter smile. "Brother Dao, there is no conflict between the battle pets we have chosen."
"Mr. Su, you have so many battle pets …" Dao Zun sounded helpless, but at the same time, in awe and envy.
If you had only one or two battle pets, I would have fought you to the death!
Qin Duhuang curled his lips. Yes, that was true.
He said to Su Ping, "Mr. Su, I have chosen eight battle pets. I heard that you have nursing pens. Do you have enough space?"
"Yes," Su Ping answered briefly and darted a glance at Dao Zun. Eight battle pets? So, you only have two or three left? One of them was the beast king that he had sold to Qin Duhuang. Back then, Su Ping had made it clear that the contract could only be terminated after ten years. That was to prevent him from reselling the battle pets and also to prevent Qin Duhuang from ruining the battle pets.
Of course, under special circumstances, Su Ping could also terminate the contract in advance by telling Su Ping in person and getting his approval.
For example, in this case, if Qin Duhuang wanted to terminate the contract with that beast king and replace it with one at the Void State, Su Ping would allow it. After all, Su Ping had brought back so many battle pets in order to strengthen the family so that they could deal with the upcoming strike.
"Good …" Qin Duhuang was relieved. He looked at Su Ping. He knew that the latter was serious about battle pets.
He explained with a smile, "I will ask people in the family to come and pick up the battle pets that have been terminated. They are all my old friends. To be honest, I don't want to part with them. But I want to give them to the younger generation of the family. I can entrust the younger generation of the family to the battle pets and they can stay by my side as the guardian beasts of the Qin Family for generations to come!"
"Good," Su Ping praised.
That was a good choice. If he had to terminate the contract with a battle pet, he would consider giving it to Su Lingyue. That way, the battle pets could take care of Su Lingyue and stay by his side.
Dao Zun heaved a sigh after hearing Qin Duhuang's words.
He was all by himself. Unlike Qin Duhuang, he had a family. He would have to find a way to get back the battle pets that he had to give up.
Wait, maybe … he could consider taking on an apprentice?
Dao Zun was tempted. If he took on an apprentice, he could give the battle pets that he had replaced. His apprentice's battle pets would be taken care of and his old friends would be able to stay by his side.
Good idea!
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The gloominess in his heart disappeared and he smiled.
"Then, terminate the contracts as soon as possible. After that, you will be in a weakened state for a couple of days. Let's hope that the wild beasts won't come at that time," Su Ping said.
There was nothing they could do if the wild beasts did come at that time. Fortunately, even if Dao Zun and Qin Duhuang were in a weakened state, they could still send out the battle pets to fight.
After all, those battle pets were much more useful than they were on their own.
"Yes."
Su Ping's words made the two of them solemn. They summoned the battle pets that they wanted to terminate the contracts with and terminated the contracts one by one.
The glow of the contracts appeared on the two and their battle pets. Once the contracts were terminated, the battle pets' memories would be erased and they would become strangers.
As the owners of the contracts, the two of them would not be affected.
Roar!
As soon as the contract was terminated, Dao Zun's ninth-rank Wind Ape was at a loss for a moment. Soon, the Wind Ape became ferocious, agitated, and grimacing.
The Wind Ape felt that a large part of its head had been dug out, as if it had lost something. The Wind Ape felt extremely uncomfortable and it could not remember anything. The Wind Ape's violent nature was triggered and it was furious.
Dao Zun looked at the Wind Ape with guilt and pity. He reached out to touch the Wind Ape, trying to comfort it.
Roar!
The Wind Ape looked at the Wind Ape with vigilance. The Wind Ape bellowed and bared its teeth, as if to say, "Come here!"
Venerable the Saber felt a little sad when he saw the ape's reaction. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry, little ape …"
Roar!
The Wind Ape bellowed and looked at Dao Zun with vigilance. The Wind Ape sensed a threat from Dao Zun's energy fluctuations.
Dao Zun turned around and asked Su Ping, "Mr. Su, where do you want to take care of the Wind Ape?"
With a whoosh, a girl with a perfect body and a perfect face appeared out of thin air, standing next to Su Ping. It was Joanna.
Her golden hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her fair collarbone was sexy and tender. She looked at the Wind Ape with a glint in her eyes.
She didn't do anything. All of a sudden, the Wind Ape's eyelids drooped as if it were sleepy. Then, the Wind Ape fell down. But it didn't hit the ground. Instead, some soft energy held it up.
"Take it to the Wind Ape," Su Ping said.
Joanna nodded and walked away. She lifted the Wind Ape and sent it to the pet room.
Dao Zun and Qin Duhuang narrowed their eyes at the sight of Joanna. Even though Joanna didn't show any energy, the moment she stood next to Su Ping, they both trembled in fear. It was as if they were standing in front of a mountain that they couldn't stop looking up to. Out of instinct, they wanted to kneel down and bow to her.
Venerable the Saber's expression changed slightly as he recalled that Elder Yuan had almost been killed by this girl's spear when he visited.
Su Ping's store was full of hidden talents!
After they calmed down, the two canceled their contracts one by one.
"Goodbye, old friend."
Qin Duhuang sighed as he looked at one of his Class 9 Rocky Tortoises and said softly before terminating the contract.
The Rock Tortoise was large in size. It crawled on the ground and moved slowly. It raised its long neck and looked at Qin Duhuang gently. The look in its eyes was filled with affection, tenderness, regret, and farewell.
Qin Duhuang couldn't bear to look at it anymore. He canceled the contract.
Soon, as the glow of the contract faded away, the Rock Tortoise's eyes became vacant. Soon, the vacant look disappeared. The Rock Tortoise looked around and became alarmed. The energy on its shell glowed as the Rock Tortoise used a defensive skill. The Rock Tortoise slowly stepped back. It was hostile to the people present.
Joanna walked over. The Rock Tortoise's eyelids became sleepy. Then, the Rock Tortoise was also sent to the pet room.
Qin Duhuang's face was pale. He didn't know if it was because he had to abandon his battle pet or because the contract had consumed his spirit. After a moment of silence, he summoned more battle pets and canceled the contracts again.
One battle pet after another …
They kept saying goodbye.
Soon, they canceled all the battle pets they were about to cancel. Both of them were ghastly pale. They were trembling and could barely stand.
Canceling so many battle pets in a row had consumed their spirit. They would be weak for a couple of days.
Su Ping heaved a sigh as he watched.
He suddenly had an idea. Why couldn't the pet's memory be retained when the contract was canceled? If only there was such a contract …
This time, the system didn't say anything. He didn't know if it was because it wasn't peeping or because it didn't have an answer …
After canceling the contracts, the two of them rested for a moment and then paid Su Ping for the battle pets they chose.
The battle pets that were hundreds of meters tall were reduced to a dozen meters in size. That was because of the system's rules. Fortunately, that didn't stop them from signing the contracts.
Roar!!
The battle pets were no longer projections. The aura of a beast at the later stage of the Void State spread out, startling Dao Zun, Qin Duhuang, as well as Zhou Tianlin who was looking for battle pets.
If it weren't for the fact that Su Ping was there, they would have turned around and run away.
Horrifying!
Dao Zun, who was about to sign the contract, stared at the battle pet he had bought. The fierce and cold eyes of the battle pet were the same as the one in the projection. But the projection didn't have such a vivid aura. It was as if countless invisible tentacles were seeping into his body through his pores. Dao Zun felt goosebumps all over his body and his scalp tingling.
"It's okay. It won't attack. Go ahead and sign the contract," Su Ping said.
The system was suppressing the battle pet in the store. While the battle pet was ferocious, it couldn't attack.
Out of instinct, Dao Zun wanted to confirm what Su Ping had said. How could such a ferocious battle pet not attack? But he held back. His lips were trembling. He braced himself and reached out with his trembling fingers to sign the contract.
Soon, the contract glowed and was imprinted on Dao Zun and the battle pet.
As the power of the contract disappeared, the battle pet's eyes gradually turned cold. The way it looked at Dao Zun was no longer ferocious, but the coldness in its eyes still gave people the feeling that the battle pet was not to be trifled with.
Through the power of the contract, Dao Zun could sense the battle pet's emotions and consciousness. He felt that the battle pet was connected to his own flesh and blood. Dao Zun breathed in relief. He immediately expressed his goodwill through the contract and carefully tried to touch the battle pet.
The battle pet didn't resist.
Dao Zun was a bit relieved. From the battle pet's consciousness, he could feel cruelty, coldness, anger, and pain.
That ferocious battle pet … had gone through a lot of torture and suffering.
Dao Zun felt pity for the battle pet. It was a genuine pity. It was like a miserable person. When others saw them, they would only sympathize with them or feel nothing. However, under the influence of the contract, the battle pet would treat the battle pet as a family member. That feeling of sympathy, pity, and tolerance was completely different from what others would experience.
"From now on … let's fight side by side," Dao Zun said in a low voice.
The battle pet glanced at the battle pet that was touching its leg and snorted. It was hard to tell if the battle pet was disdainful or arrogant.
Qin Duhuang came back to his senses. He was excited. He immediately signed the contract with the battle pet he had bought.
Zhou Yu and Wu Zun looked at each other. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes. That was a battle pet at the later stage of the Void State? That was horrifying!
They felt that they would have wet their pants if they had run into such a battle pet during the strike.
The two focused their attention and began to choose their battle pets.
