Since he couldn't pursue the matter, Su Ping didn't say anything further. He wasn't able to seek revenge from the Star Lord yet, and threatening him was even more boring. He would rather not let his target know his intentions.
Su Ping recalled the Inferno Dragon and left the island with his mentor.
When Su Ping returned, everybody on the Monument fixed their eyes on him; they couldn't have been more shocked.
"Twenty laws!"
"Did I sense it wrong? Isn't that already the limit of the Star Rank? "
"I can't believe that the dragon was holding back …"
"What the heck? Even the battle pet knows how to trick people? "
Everybody had clearly seen how the Inferno Dragon dealt with the Star Lord mentor, but they all felt that it was unreal. A Fate State dragon that had mastered twenty laws was even more talented than any of the geniuses present!
"That dragon's aptitude can probably be rated as SS!"
"SS? Why do I think SSS is good enough? It must be one of the best geniuses, provided that it's really at the Fate State … "
"Damn it, we're not as good as one of his pets!"
"I should've been at the bottom of the mountain, not here …"
"It's all because of the pet. What's the big deal? Without that dragon, he would've been a rookie."
"A rookie? Didn't you see how he snatched a seat at the top of the mountain? He might not be as good as his pet, but he's not a rookie at all! "
Su Ping and the Inferno Dragon made everyone discuss heatedly. Many people didn't even try to hide their envy. They felt that they, too, would be qualified to compete with the geniuses at the top of the mountain if they were in Su Ping's position!
On the island, the Dragon Demon clenched its fists with an awful look on its face.
The Star Lord mentor saw the Dragon Demon's face and said solemnly, "It's a fact that you've lost. Just take it as a lesson. There will be more geniuses in the following battles. You must work hard in your cultivation."
The Dragon Demon gritted its teeth, feeling humiliated.
Of course, he knew that there were countless geniuses in the battles, especially those who could make it to the Sectors and the main arena. However, he didn't expect to run into a thorn there.
Also, the way he failed was too humiliating. His opponent didn't even do anything; he was crushed by a single pet!
"If your performance is good, the dean will hire an Extraordinary trainer to help you and the Dragon Emperor train your pets. All you have to do is work hard to improve your strength," continued the Star Lord mentor.
The Dragon Demon's pupils contracted when it heard the Extraordinary trainer. He quickly asked, "Really?"
"Really, but the prerequisite is that your performance must satisfy the Dean."
The Star Lord mentor nodded. They had to be stimulated with some strong drugs, but he wasn't exaggerating. If the students performed well in the Illusion Tablet, the dean would indeed help them. After all, the further they went in the Universal Battle of Geniuses, the more famous the academy would be!
"Got it." The Dragon Demon took a deep breath and calmed down, but he clenched his fists even tighter. He would never forget the day's humiliation.
On the other hand, Su Ping had returned to the top of the mountain and sat back in his chair.
The few people who didn't have seats yet looked at Su Ping, but they didn't intend to challenge him.
Su Ping had only used his pets and didn't participate in the battle himself. Nobody knew if the pets were Su Ping's final trump cards.
Besides, the pets were already intimidating enough when they fought against the Star Lord mentor's twenty laws. They didn't have the confidence to defeat them.
"Is your battle pet really at the Fate State?"
On Su Ping's left, Saintess Thousand Leaf, who had previously thought that Su Ping was a coward, changed her opinion of him. Judging from the overwhelming power of Su Ping's pets, Su Ping was probably just too lazy to fight, not because he was scared of them.
Even though the Dragon Demon was full of sh * t, she was too lazy to teach it a lesson, because she felt that it would only dirty her hands, not because she was scared of the Dragon Demon.
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded. He didn't intend to keep it a secret. Although most people wouldn't reveal their pets' level, he didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't his trump card.
"…"
Saintess Thousand Leaf was silent for a moment. Even though her senses told her that Su Ping's pet was at the Fate State, she was still greatly shocked to hear Su Ping admit it in person.
She believed that Su Ping wouldn't lie. After all, such a genius would either keep his mouth shut or mock him. As for lying … The more proud a person was, the more they would disdain to do such a thing.
The woman on Su Ping's right had also heard the conversation. Her expression slightly changed, and she suddenly felt that the stone chair she was sitting on was a bit disgusting.
A battle pet at the Fate State … Even she wasn't as talented as it was.
She had trained hard for so many years and was known as a one-in-a-trillion genius, yet she had been surpassed by a pet?
While the two girls were silent, the dragon king, who was sitting on the stone chair in the distance, spoke up. He gazed at Su Ping for a moment and asked, "What … is your dragon pet?"
His question caught many people's attention. Those who were sitting on the other chairs were also curious about Su Ping.
If it was one of those legendary top-notch mythical pets that they had heard of, then they could understand.
“?”
Su Ping was puzzled. "Do I know you that well?" he asked.
Su Ping hadn't forgotten how the dragon king had mocked him. Also, the dragon king seemed to be from the same academy as the defeated dragon.
What else was there to talk about?
"…"
The dragon king didn't say anything. He couldn't help but curl his hand, which was placed on the stone chair. He was about to clench his fist. But he didn't do it because that would show his anger.
"Hmm." The dragon king sneered but didn't say anything else.
The others were a bit disappointed that Su Ping didn't want to tell them, but they weren't too surprised. After all, a battle pet was a trump card. Su Ping wasn't obliged to tell them what it was. Who would show their trump card and introduce it to others?
Suppressing the curiosity in their hearts, the others' eyes flickered as they pondered about other matters.
The battle between the Holy King and the Tian Qi Realm had shown them how terrifying the other academies could be. Then, Su Ping's battle had made many of them take the others seriously.
No one who could make it to that place was a weakling!
"The Amir Royal Academy …"
The Holy King squinted his eyes and moved his gaze away from Su Ping. He didn't want to admit it, but he was glad that he had chosen the Tian Qi Realm and not Su Ping.
He had thought about choosing Su Ping back then. But considering Su Ping's speed when he grabbed the seat and the vague sense of danger, the Holy King sensed that Su Ping was more powerful than the Tian Qi Realm. That was why he had chosen the Tian Qi Realm.
It turned out that his intuition was correct.
Su Ping was indeed a freak. Even his battle pet was so terrifying!
On the island, the Dragon Demon had already returned. He looked at Su Ping but didn't say anything. This time, he directly turned around and flew to Su Ping's right, arriving in front of the woman in the white robe.
"Your seat, I'll take it!"
It was still the same words as before, but this time, the Dragon Demon didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance. Instead, it was especially gloomy.
The woman in the white robe slightly raised her eyebrows and revealed a look of surprise. She raised her head and quietly looked at the Dragon Demon. She smiled sweetly and said, "I admire your courage."
With that, she directly stood up and flew toward the island.
The Dragon Demon coldly snorted and took out a pellet to consume. His previous injuries quickly healed and his aura also recovered to its peak.
Soon, a great battle broke out on the island again.
"This guy has learned to be smart, knowing to challenge the Shengying Oriole Academy."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Only the Shengying Oriole Academy is easy to bully. The others are all top-notch monsters from their respective academies."
"Don't lose again. Otherwise, you really won't have the face to see anyone."
While everyone was discussing, the battle on the island became more intense. The woman in the white robe was a top genius in the Shengying Oriole Academy. She was known as the Goddess of Light. Her battle body was the elemental Holy Light Battle Body. This was one of the top ten battle bodies of the light element!
At this moment, facing the Dragon Demon's demonic battle body, she still had the upper hand.
But very quickly, as the battle became more and more intense, the power that the Dragon Demon erupted with became more and more ferocious. Previously, when he was fighting against the Inferno Dragon, he was unable to use some of his ultimate skills. He also appeared one after another, catching the Goddess of Light off guard.
Five minutes later, the battle ended.
The Dragon Demon had actually won!
In that battle, he had displayed terrifying strength, beating his opponent into a retreat. Many people who had hoped to see the Dragon Grave Academy suffer a setback and lose twice in a row were disappointed that their hopes were dashed.
The Thousandleaf Saintess, who was sitting on Su Ping's left, had a cold look on her face. She and the Goddess of Light had their own factions within the academy, but outside the academy, they were one, sharing a common enemy.
"Hmm!"
The Dragon Demon returned to the peak and sat on Su Ping's right. When he sat down, he looked at Su Ping and snorted, implying that while he had lost the challenge, he was still qualified to sit on the peak.
However, not long after he sat down, someone who had been waiting next to him issued a challenge.
That person was from the Sword Sovereign Academy, nicknamed the Sword Madman. He carried a sword as thick as a coffin on his back. His hair was disheveled, and he didn't seem to care about his image at all.
Hearing his challenge, the Dragon Demon's expression changed. At that moment, he had just finished his battle. Although he had won, it was only a narrow victory. The Goddess of Light was not to be trifled with.
"I didn't expect the Sword Sovereign Academy to pick up the leftovers." The Dragon Demon's face was gloomy as he mocked.
The Sword Spirit Madman said indifferently, "Are you allowed to bully women as a man? Don't you have that pill? Continue eating, continue fighting!"
"I'll fight your mother!" The Dragon Demon couldn't help but curse. He was a person who didn't pay attention to the use of civilized words, so how could he hold it in at that moment?
That pill was very precious. If it weren't for the fact that he had lost so badly to Su Ping, he wouldn't have been willing to eat the pill. He would have challenged again to regain his face.
You still want to eat it now? Give it to me!
"If you want to challenge, why don't you challenge me?" At that moment, the Dragon Emperor spoke up, helping the Dragon Demon out of his predicament.
The Sword Spirit Madman frowned. Before he could say anything, the young man with a wooden sword on his back sitting next to the Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, I can play with you."
He looked harmless and looked like a little boy.
The Dragon Emperor's face turned cold as he said, "I heard that you are the Sword God's personal disciple. I do want to meet you. I hope you won't lose the title of the Sword God."
"Is my master's title something you can mention?" The wooden sword young man said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
The Dragon Emperor coldly snorted and did not argue on this issue. A Conferred God Realm expert was indeed not someone he could offend right now.
"Do you dare? If you don't dare, then scram." At this time, the Sword Spirit Madman had already retracted his gaze and said to the Dragon Demon Cultivator in front of him. This time, his tone was even more vile.
"So be it!"
How could the Dragon Demon Cultivator endure this? He gritted his teeth and took out another pill that was exactly the same as before. After swallowing it, he got up and flew to the island with the Sword Spirit Madman.
The battle erupted once again. The Dragon Demon Cultivator used all sorts of ultimate skills, but the Sword Spirit Madman on the other side also revealed an extremely terrifying power, especially his sword techniques. In less than five minutes, the Sword Spirit Madman defeated the Dragon Demon Cultivator with a slight advantage and snatched his seat.
"As expected, these are all monsters."
"Dragon Demon Cultivator: I still have pills, I can still fight!"
"Ptui, even if he still has pills, he wouldn't dare to eat them. I don't think the rest of them are easy to deal with."
"Maybe he can bully the other one from the Shengying Oriole Academy?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that the Dragon Tomb Academy specializes in bullying women?"
"That's enough from the Hugh Mia Academy!"
"The Dragon Tomb Academy is getting anxious, haha!"
"What do you mean by that? Do you really think there's no one in our Shengying Oriole Academy? The Thousand Leaves Holy Maiden is the strongest in our academy. If he challenged her just now, he wouldn't even be able to get a seat! "
At the foot of the mountain, the people from the other academies were discussing. The girls from the Shengying Oriole Academy also joined in the discussion. Although the Shengying Oriole Academy had been pushed out, they weren't weak this year.
Especially the Thousand Leaves Holy Maiden, a super genius that only appeared once in several hundred years. After witnessing the Dragon Demon Cultivator's battle, they felt that the Thousand Leaves Holy Maiden would definitely be able to suppress him!
After the Dragon Demon Cultivator lost, the Sword Soul Madman got a seat. This time, the Dragon Demon Cultivator didn't take any pills. He gritted his teeth and went to the waist of the mountain.
There were still a few people who chose to challenge him. Some chose the Thousand Leaves Holy Maiden, while others chose one of the Hugh Mia Academy's Gemini Stars, the Jade Sea Empress.
However, all the challenges ended in failure. In the end, the seats were fixed. Of the eight people on the peak, only the Dragon Grave Academy and the Shengying Academy had one seat, and the other three academies had two.
The Star Lord of the Mysterious Realm stood out and told everyone to train hard. The Illusion Tablet Challenge would begin in ten hours.
The sun was eternal in the Mysterious Realm; there was no alternation between the sun and the moon. After the seats were secured, everyone went back to their own training.
On the peak, Su Ping sensed the surging astral power in the stone chair. He activated the Chaos Star Chart and absorbed a large amount of astral power, refining it into his cells.
Due to the obstruction of the light formation outside the seats, the techniques that they were practicing couldn't be leaked, and it was impossible to peek at them from the outside. It seemed quite peaceful.
There's also the divine power and the vague laws …
Su Ping's eyes flashed. The seats on the peak of the mountain did have a lot of benefits. The astral power was extremely pure, mixed with abundant divine power. Also, there would occasionally be some laws, which would make one's mind clear. If one happened to be stuck in a bottleneck or was studying laws, it was very likely that they would be inspired by the laws and have an epiphany.
Time flew by.
While absorbing the astral power and divine power, Su Ping organized his laws. He had accumulated far more laws than the common Star State warriors, and he could try to build a small world.
However, Su Ping didn't know how to build a small world, so he had to figure it out on his own.
Ten hours passed quickly.
The Star Lord of the Mysterious Realm flew there with a stack of giant steles.
Those steles were of different sizes, and they were all covered in bloody streaks, which seemed to be some kind of strange runes.
"The Illusion Tablet Challenge officially begins." The Star Lord's voice echoed throughout the mountain, pulling everyone back to reality. He said, "You can choose any Illusion Tablet you want. The enemies you'll encounter inside will be different, but they'll all be of the same level as you, except for the slightly different attacks they're good at. You'll be able to sense that before you enter.
"I suggest that you choose the opponents that you can restrain the most. The higher the score, the more benefits you'll get.
