Su Ping was surprised to see familiar faces. He stood up and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're okay."
Only then did he remember that the Holy Light Base City was far away from the Longjiang Base City and was not one of the nine base cities that were part of the defense line. It was understandable that they were forced to move there.
They had said that they would stay with the Holy Light Base City until they died … That was nice!
"This is your pet store?"
Shi Zhenxiang and Tongtong's attention had been attracted by the interior of the store. They knew that Su Ping had a pet store, but it didn't seem as big as they had imagined.
After all, Su Ping was a top trainer. A pet store that he was in charge of would definitely be a paradise!
"Yes."
Su Ping smiled as he looked at the two innocent girls.
Lu Qiu, on the other hand, was wearing a complicated expression.
He sized up Su Ping. It had only been a few days since Su Ping left the Holy Light Base City, but many major events had happened. Every one of those events was shocking. For example, the destruction of the Nordic Continent and the West Ocean Continent was hard to believe, but it had happened.
Back in the day, the pressure of the destruction of an entire race had seemed like a dream.
But at the moment, he felt it was right in front of him!
In Lu Qiu's eyes, Su Ping was no longer just a top trainer.
Back in the Holy Light Base City, Su Ping had easily taken care of the Void State beast, which was a testament to his strength. Then, at the Xing-Jing Defense Line, Su Ping had killed a Fate State beast and saved the entire Class A base city. There were even videos of that incident that had been sent to many major forces.
Su Ping was more honorable than most legendary battle pet warriors.
After all, Lu Qiu was the Vice Chairman of the Breeders' Association. He knew a thing or two about legendary battle pet warriors, including the Fate State. That was why he felt so conflicted when he saw Su Ping again.
Lu Qiu heaved a sigh as he looked at the friendly smile on Su Ping's face. He felt that he had failed to recognize Su Ping.
"Lu Qiu greets Mr. Su." Lu Qiu cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said in awe.
Shi Haochi and his two daughters were stunned by his attitude. They looked at him in shock.
During this period of time, they had been so busy that the Breeders' Association had been receiving orders that they did not have the time to care about other news from the outside world. They only knew that the world was in danger, and that the Breeders' Association's fees for training people had been reduced infinitely, to the point where they were practically working for free.
Su Ping waved his hand and said, "We're all friends, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit."
Lu Qiu was slightly taken aback. He felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said, "I've heard about what happened to Mr. Su. Thank you, Mr. Su, for taking the juniors with you last time. I've already met them."
Su Ping nodded his head. He didn't worry about the juniors that he had brought along last time. He left them all to Old Man Qin.
"Has everyone from the Holy Light Base City moved to the Longjiang Base City?" Su Ping asked.
Lu Qiu nodded and then shook his head. He seemed to be nervous. "The world is in danger. The Breeders' Association has become an important force in the war. The members of the Association have been divided into nine groups and distributed to the nine base cities. We will provide training services to the battle pet warriors of each base city so that their battle pets can reach a higher level before the war comes."
Su Ping nodded. "That's good. Thank you for your hard work."
"That's what we should do. Mr. Su, you're the one doing the hard work. You legendary battle pet warriors are the heroes on the frontline." Lu Qiu waved his hand and blushed.
As soon as he said that, the father and his daughters opened their eyes wide in astonishment.
Legendary battle pet warrior? Su Ping?
They stared at Su Ping in a daze. This young man was at the legendary rank?!
He was a legendary battle pet warrior and a top trainer?!
Shi Zhenxiang and Tongtong breathed heavily. What kind of genius was this guy? He used to be a freeloader at their house. How did he become a legendary battle pet warrior?
Shi Haochi finally understood why Lu Qiu would treat him that way.
He remembered how Su Ping had been turned away by the Breeders' Association. Shi Haochi's heart was racing. Who would have thought that the young man who was mocked by the association was at the legendary rank!
I'm really not at the legendary rank … Su Ping wanted to explain. But he didn't want to. He didn't want to. After all, he had stuffed a sweet potato in his pants. Even if he wasn't a piece of sh * t, he would still be disgusting.
"I'm relieved that you're here. If the outer wall of the defense line is breached and the outer wall of the Longjiang Base City is breached, you'll have nowhere to run. Come here," Su Ping said.
Lu Qiu was taken aback. Su Ping was an important figure and he knew more information than they could ever imagine. If even Su Ping had said that, could it be that the situation outside was worse than they had thought?
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, will the strike … really kill us?" Lu Qiu couldn't help but ask.
Su Ping looked at him and nodded. "Maybe. But no matter what, there is no turning back. We have to fight. That is the only way we can seize the last glimmer of hope."
Lu Qiu was at a loss for words.
Shi Haochi and the others came back to their senses. They were confused by the situation they were in.
Right then, two people came in. It was Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong, Su Ping's student.
"What? You have business here? " Tang Ruyan was surprised to see so many people in the store. She acted like a worker and walked over with a fake smile. "Welcome. What kind of service would you like? We can train, foster, sell pets, and buy rare pet food."
Shi Zhenxiang and Tongtong turned around. Tang Ruyan had just walked in. Even the waitress was a pretty girl?
As for the chubby Zhong Lingtong, they recognized her right away. She was the student that Su Ping had taken in at the Trainers' Assembly.
Lu Qiu stared at Tang Ruyan in a daze.
The … future family head of the Tang family?!
He was dumbfounded.
The Tang family had changed a lot. After all, not long ago, the Tang family had flattened the other two major families, which had caused a sensation in the Subcontinent District. As one of the top forces, the Breeders' Association had naturally heard about that and knew the ins and outs of the matter.
After that incident, the future family head of the Tang family stepped out from the shadows and into the public eye. No one dared to ignore her.
As the most powerful family in the Subcontinent District, the Tang family had many battle pet warriors and had placed many orders with the Breeders' Association. The two had become close friends.
But …
Lu Qiu was surprised to see the future family head of the most powerful family of the Subcontinent District in Su Ping's store!
Also, she was acting like … a worker?
The dignified clan leader was actually an employee?!
While Lu Qiu was still in a daze, a well-behaved girl said, "Nice to meet you, Vice Chairman and Master Shi."
Lu Qiu moved his eyes away from Tang Ruyan and looked at Zhong Lingtong. Her chubby cheeks had become rounder. She must have been taking good care of herself …
Lu Qiu breathed in relief. Finally, he had met someone younger than him. He felt less stressed.
"Oh, Tongtong …" Lu Qiu smiled kindly. "Tongtong is learning training skills from Mr. Su. Given Mr. Su's skills, Tongtong should be close to the master level."
Shi Haochi and his two daughters were shocked when they heard that.
Master level?
How long had it been?
Zhong Lingtong blushed. She lowered her head shyly and said, "I still have a lot to learn from my teacher. He said that I can only help battle pets learn skills of the thunder family and that I can only be considered a ninth-rank trainer. I'm still far away from the Holy Spirit Realm …"
This motherf * cking Purcell!
Lu Qiu and Shi Haochi stared at her, dumbfounded.
Ninth-rank trainers who could only be considered as partial? Only?!!
Su Ping didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zhong Lingtong had said. He had imparted the elementary rules of thunder to her when his understanding of the rules of thunder reached the intermediate level. She was indeed able to help battle pets of different families learn skills of the thunder family at the lower level of the king rank. According to the Trainers Association's test, she could be considered a ninth-rank trainer.
But a Holy Spirit Realm trainer would have to know how to stimulate talent.
Su Ping had only mastered the elementary Awakening Guide. He didn't plan to teach her that easily.
Lu Qiu was stunned for a few seconds. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and ask, "You, you can already make your battle pets learn ninth-rank skills?"
Zhong Lingtong nodded shyly. "But I can only learn skills of the thunder family."
"…"
"…"
Everyone was speechless.
Damn it. It was good enough that she could learn skills of the thunder family. What did she mean by only learning skills of the thunder family?
Did she want her battle pets to learn ninth-rank skills of all families? That would be a hundred times more difficult than becoming a Holy Spirit Realm trainer!
Sure enough … if you follow a monster, you will become a monster! Lu Qiu thought to himself. He felt even sadder.
He had promised Su Ping that he would let their students compete with each other again. But … he had been crushed before he could even do that!
"It's good that you're here." Su Ping said to Zhong Lingtong, "I don't have time to teach you the basics, and I don't know how to do it. Go and help Mr. Lu. Train the battle pets that are going to fight. Try to understand the basics by yourself through practice …"
Zhong Lingtong was stunned for a moment before she was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you, Teacher!"
She had been bored out of her mind at Su Ping's place.
All she did was eat, drink, and play. Occasionally, she would have to help Su Ping sweep the floor. Apart from that, she didn't have to do anything. Su Ping didn't talk to her much either.
As for teaching and learning … She had to rely on herself. She would ask Su Ping about something she didn't understand, but she couldn't find him. Even if she did find him, he would tell her to figure it out on her own.
Finally, she had learned the secrets of the thunder family from Su Ping. She could teach it to her battle pets. Finally, she had a chance to put it to good use!
Lu Qiu curled his lips. That girl … was a top trainer at such a young age. The old guys in the Union would be so shocked that their jaws would drop!
"Brother Lu, please take care of her," Su Ping said.
Lu Qiu came back to his senses and nodded at once.
Next to him, the father and daughter of the Shi family were confused.
The girl in front of them was a top trainer. That was their lifelong goal!
…
After some small talk, the father and daughter of the Shi family and Lu Qiu left with Zhong Lingtong.
Tang Ruyan was the only one left in the store. Su Ping told her to ask around for information when she was free. He didn't need her help at the moment.
Tang Ruyan went to make arrangements as well.
She could mobilize the forces of the Tang family. Apart from legendary battle pet warriors, the Tang family was one of the most powerful forces in the Subcontinent District!
It was late at night.
Su Ping stayed in the Longjiang Base City. Occasionally, he would leave the Longjiang Base City and go to the outer wall of the defense line. He saw that fewer and fewer people were leaving. He knew that most of the people had left.
Su Ping didn't know when the wild beasts would arrive. He had to wait. Even if the store wasn't being upgraded, he wouldn't dare to go to the cultivation site. Who knew if the wild beasts would arrive as soon as he entered the cultivation site?
He didn't want to wait until the human race was on the brink of failure and then step out to save the world and become a hero.
If the disaster did happen, he would be the first to go to the front line.
When he couldn't hold on any longer, he would go back and rest. Then, he would go on. That was his plan.
Would he be the last one to save the world? That was a fantasy, and it was unknown whether the human race could survive the disaster in front of them!
"Are you free now? I have something to ask you."
Standing on the Dark Dragon Hound's back, Su Ping took out his phone and dialed Gu Siping's number after a moment of consideration. The person he was contacting was … Gu Siping!
"What?"
They had exchanged numbers during the meeting so that they could keep in touch during the upcoming battle. Still, Gu Siping was surprised to receive Su Ping's call.
As far as he could tell, the Subcontinent District hadn't been attacked yet.
"What is it?" Gu Siping asked calmly.
Su Ping didn't mind his attitude. "It's about the Heaven Executors and the Heaven Lock!"
He went straight to the point and said, "This time, the division of the unified defense line completely covered the Heaven Lock Formation. This isn't a coincidence, right? Tell me, what backup plans do you have? Now that things have come to this, I hope that there are some secrets that should be known. At the very least, with my status and combat strength, I'm qualified to know, right?"
Gu Siping narrowed his eyes.
"What Heaven Lock? I don't know," he said.
Su Ping squinted his eyes. "It's pointless to play dumb. You should know that the Otherworld Heavenly King attacked the Longjiang Base City. I remember that our mayor asked the Tower for help. Why didn't they send reinforcements? Aren't you afraid that the Longjiang Base City would be destroyed? "
Gu Siping was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Who did you hear this from?"
"That's what we're talking about! What do you want to know? " Su Ping was annoyed, but he didn't want to argue with him anymore. He controlled his anger and said, "I'm wondering if I should open the Heaven Lock. If you don't explain it to me, don't blame me for doing it myself!"
Gu Siping bellowed, "Are you kidding me? Do you know the consequences of opening the Heaven Lock? No one knows how much star power has accumulated inside. Once the star power is released, the evolution of those Abyss Demon Beasts will only speed up. By then, we will be exterminated even faster! "
Su Ping sneered. "You're not pretending anymore? I want to know why the Heaven Lock was there. Also, there's a sealing formation at the bottom of the Corridor. What is it used to seal? "
"What?" Gu Siping was surprised.
"A sealing formation … at the bottom of the Corridor?" Gu Siping frowned. "What are you talking about? You've been to the bottom of the Corridor? There's a sealing formation there? "
Su Ping's voice was cold. "You're the most powerful person in the world, the leader of all legendary battle pet warriors. Don't you think it's beneath you to play dumb like that?"
Gu Siping was angry and frightened. "Mind your words. I've tolerated you for a long time. I do know about the Heaven Lock. That's a top secret of the Tower and it's understandable that they didn't tell you about it. But I really don't know about the sealing formation at the bottom of the Corridor. Are you sure?"
Su Ping frowned. Gu Siping sounded as if he really didn't know about it.
Otherwise, this old man would be too shameless if he continued to play dumb even after he had said so much.
"It's fine if you don't know about it. Tell me about the Heaven Lock. Why was it there?" Su Ping demanded.
Su Ping was the only one on the line. Gu Siping didn't bother to pretend anymore. "I told you that it's a top secret of the Tower and you don't need to know about it. You just need to know how to stop the wild beasts. You don't have to worry about anything else!"
"Are you sure? I'll open the formation if you don't tell me. You'll have to bear the consequences! "Su Ping threatened.
How arrogant!
Gu Siping was furious. He was furious.
That guy had killed two people at the Tower and humiliated the Tower in public. Gu Siping was already humiliated but he restrained himself. How dare Su Ping yell at him like that!
That being said, he remembered the video of Su Ping killing a Fate State warrior. His eyes were gloomy. "You can't open the formation just because you want to. The six base cities are full of people. Do you want them to move again? Try it if you want to!" Su Ping's eyes were filled with rage.
"I told you that I'm not afraid of going down in infamy!" Su Ping sneered. He was threatening Gu Siping with his reputation.
If it was really useful and could save everyone, then so be it. If he had to bear some infamy, then so be it. Why would a true powerhouse fear the eyes of others?
"You're a scoundrel!" Gu Siping was so angry that he wanted to curse Su Ping. What kind of hooligan was this? He didn't have the demeanor of a legendary battle pet warrior!
Every legendary battle pet warrior wanted to be famous all over the world. They wanted to be admired even after they died.
However, Su Ping was a maniac. He didn't care about anything!
"Even if you want them to move, you can't open the formation without the key. Even if you destroy all the base cities, you don't have the ability to do so!" Gu Siping said coldly.
Su Ping sneered. "I know. The formation isn't something that a Fate State warrior can break with brute force. But I have the key and I can open the formation. I only need the blood of the Eight-fold Firebird, the head of the Rock Tortoise …" He listed the materials that would be used to break the formation.
Gu Siping's expression changed when he heard Su Ping mention the Rock Tortoise.
If it were just the Eight-fold Firebird, he could understand that Su Ping was clueless. However, the other materials were all for breaking the formation. Of course, Su Ping didn't list all the materials.
However, it was clear that he knew all the materials and methods to crack the formation!
Where the hell did this monster come from?!
He had become a legendary battle pet warrior without alerting anyone, then appeared out of nowhere as a Fate State warrior. Now, he knew how to crack the formation. That was too weird and horrifying!
Gu Siping stopped underestimating Su Ping. He took a deep breath gloomily and asked, "Who taught you how to crack the formation?"
"It's none of your business."
"…"
Gu Siping was roaring in his head, but he managed to hold himself back. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll tell you, but you can't crack the formation. Otherwise, Blue Star will be doomed. Nobody will be able to save it!"
"You go first," said Su Ping coldly.
Gu Siping gritted his teeth and said, "The Sky Lock Formation was set up by the first Tower Master. It was obtained from an ancient heritage in a mysterious realm. The formation can seal an area and nurture astral spirits. Once an astral spirit is nurtured, one will be able to advance to the Star State with it!"
