Chapter 885

"Go."

Su Ping didn't stop the Inferno Dragon, who was eager to try.

The Inferno Dragon's combat strength was comparable to that of most warriors at the advanced stage of the Star State. After all, Su Ping had taught the Inferno Dragon the rules and the pure astral power that had been refined hundreds of times.

Roar!!

The Inferno Dragon suddenly roared. Lightning and fire burst out from its body as it charged toward the evil dragon, displaying its might.

"Huh?"

"Is that dragon at the Fate State?"

In the palace high up in the sky, Hai Tuo and the others were all stupefied, a bit surprised and shocked.

The Inferno Dragon could hide its rank from other people, but it couldn't hide from the Ascendant State Warriors.

They had expected Su Ping to be very strong, thanks to the information from the Phantom Hunter, but they didn't expect his pets to be so weird. As usual, the other contestants all had pets in the early phase of the Star State that had been trained to be tough. However, Su Ping was only using pets of the same level as him.

He was being arrogant, but his pets were as intimidating as the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon!

"What kind of dragon is that? Its aptitude is rather terrifying!"

"I can't tell. It seems to be a hybrid. The universe is too big. Strange hybrids always pop up every year, but it's rare to see one with such a top bloodline!"

"The pet's aptitude is comparable to that of the other top geniuses in the competition!"

The Ascendant Gods were all amazed. If the upper limit of the dragon's bloodline was high, it would definitely be a rare and precious pet that could be used until the Star Lord State.

Apart from them, there were also some Star Lords and Trainers among the audience. They were all sharp-eyed and they could tell the dragon's level at the moment.

The others thought that the dragon was only in the early phase of the Star State. While its explosive power was horrifying, it was only slightly stronger than the other pets. However, they could tell that it was at the Fate State, which meant that its combat ability had been increased to a shocking level!

"Is that his trump card?"

"A Fate State pet with such a level is definitely one of the best pets of the dragon family. Record its appearance and data immediately. We can sell it for a high price if we find close relatives with similar data!"

"It's really a monster riding a monster."

As the Star Lords and trainers exclaimed, more and more people learned that the dragon was at the Fate State. Countless people watching the livestream were shocked.

Inside the continent, the Inferno Dragon was fighting the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon, while Su Ping was simply watching from the sidelines.

Su Ping, on the other hand, was watching from the side. It seemed that he was treating the trial as a chance for his pet to practice.

"That dragon …"

Outside the continent, among the participants who had retreated, the Dragon Demon Cultivator's eyes were filled with bewilderment and complexity. He felt that this Dragon beast was even stronger than the one he had met before, or rather, in the Secret Realm, this Dragon beast had not used its full strength at all. He had heard his teacher mention this point later on, but he never thought that there would be so much hidden strength!

Roar!!

With a roar, the deterrent force of the Inferno Dragon overwhelmed the Evil Wing Skeletal Dragon. The Evil Wing Skeletal Dragon paused for a moment. In a top-level battle like this, even a split second could be fatal. That was the strength of the dragon family. The Inferno Dragon instantly flew close, and its claws glowed as it tore apart the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon.

A crack appeared in the fifth space, and it instantly passed through. With a puff, the wings of the Evil Wing Skeletal Demonic Dragon were torn apart, and even its shoulder blades were torn apart.

Scales and blood splashed everywhere. Twenty rules were gathered on the Inferno Dragon's claws as it waved them, forcing the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon to retreat.

Su Ping was watching from the side, distracting the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon. He was quite satisfied with the Inferno Dragon's proficiency in using the rules. If the Inferno Dragon could absorb the many rules he taught it, it would be able to defeat the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon easily.

Roar! Roar!

The two draconic beasts roared angrily as they fought each other.

Flames and lightning flashed. After four or five minutes, the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon was finally killed. The Inferno Dragon bit off the Evil Wing Skeleton Dragon's neck and swallowed its flesh and blood. That brutal scene shocked countless people.

The Dragon Emperor, the young man with the wooden sword, and Greos were all taken aback. On the other side, Hyyalem, who had never seen Su Ping in action, was also staring at the dragon with a solemn look on his face.

The girl named Su Jiner was the only one who was still smiling, although there was a curious look in her eyes.

"Not even we were able to defeat the wild beasts in the test. His battle pet killed them."

At the back, the contestants who did not dare to fight for the championship were indescribably shocked.

As far as they could tell, the dragon used for the test was already extremely ferocious. Even the Blue Sea Empress had been killed. Yet, Su Ping's battle pet had killed this beast that was as terrifying as a mountain for them.

In other words, Su Ping didn't even have to do anything. His battle pet alone could have taken care of him.

At the same time.

Su Ping waited until the Inferno Dragon was full, then he returned to the spot outside the continent.

Little White had also returned to the contract space. Little White seemed to be at ease. After all, Little White didn't do anything during the whole process; it was just interfering.

"Your battle pets are nice!"

Su Jiner turned around and said to Su Ping with a curious look in her eyes.

Su Ping answered with a smile, "Yes, they are good."

"Them?" Su Jiner's eyes moved, and the interest in her eyes became more intense.

The Dragon King, Linghu Jian, and the others stared at Su Ping with mixed feelings. How were they supposed to compete? Was it even necessary? They had worked so hard to defeat the beast and Su Ping had killed it with his battle pets alone. If they ran into Su Ping later on, he could probably send two more battle pets similar to the dragon to finish them off.

Not only would they lose, they would lose in a humiliating way!

"Very good. I didn't expect that six of you could pass the test. You are all excellent!" The Master of Stars looked at Su Ping who had returned to his seat. Then, he calmed himself down and said, "In other galaxies, people like you would be qualified to win. But this galaxy is full of talents. You have to keep competing!"

"Before we start, I have to ask you one more thing. Who wants to give up?"

The others looked at each other but no one backed out.

The Master of Stars said calmly, "Very well. I will pick the winners. First, Linghu Jian, step forward!"

Linghu Jian frowned but he stepped forward. Out of instinct, he darted a look at Su Ping on his left.

"Now, Linghu Jian is the winner. Does anyone have any objections?" The Master of Stars glanced at the remaining five people with a cold and dignified look in his eyes.

The five of them were stunned. Were the rules of the competition so simple and crude?

"I have long heard that the successor of the God of Swords is skilled in swordsmanship. You already have the skill of a senior from the North Sea. I would like to have a try." In the silence, Haiyalim stepped forward. Her voice was soft and gentle, but there was a glint of coldness in it.

Linghu Jian looked at her calmly but didn't say anything.

The Dragon King stepped forward as well. His voice was calm, but his words were wild and arrogant. "I have been wanting to learn from the Sword Venerable Academy for a long time. Brother Linghu, let's practice."

Su Jiner grinned, revealing her white teeth. She said in a relaxed manner, "Then let me have a try as well."

Linghu Jian's expression changed. He gazed at her.

Su Ping didn't know what the rules were. It wouldn't be good if he gave up and would be disqualified. He said, "I would like to have a try as well."

As he walked out, Linghu Jian's expression changed slightly. It became somewhat gloomy, and his eyes became cold and filled with a cold light.

Of the five people, apart from Greos, all dared to challenge him!

The Star Lord raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the title of the successor of the God of Swords wouldn't be enough to intimidate those people. But then again, the Star Lord was relieved. "Okay, you can go back now. The second one, the Dragon King, step forward."

The Dragon King stepped forward.

"I'll make him the champion. Anyone else?"

Linghu Jian was the first one to step forward. "Me."

"Me too." Haiyalim stepped forward as well.

"Ha, ha."

Su Jiner didn't say anything but she stepped forward as well. Her attitude was clear.

Greos snorted and stepped forward as well. He wasn't sure if he could win against Linghu Jian, but he wouldn't admit defeat against the Dragon King. Even if he couldn't win, he would give it a try!

Su Ping stepped forward as well.

In an instant, his attitude was clear. Everyone … was not convinced!

Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor's face turned ashen.

"Go back."

The Star Lord said indifferently. Then, he read out another name and said the same thing.

This time, it was Haiyalim.

The Dragon King, Linghu Jian, and the others seemed to have investigated this woman. They were afraid of her. In the end, only Su Jiner, Su Ping, and Linghu Jian stepped forward to say that they were not convinced.

Next was Su Jiner.

This time, four people were not convinced. They were Su Ping, the Dragon King, Linghu Jian, and Haiyalim.

Finally, it was Su Ping's turn.

"Anyone not convinced?" the Star Lord asked calmly.

This time, the crowd fell into a brief silence.

The Dragon King, Linghu Jian, and the others looked at each other. They still remembered what had happened in the Illusionary Realm. That woman had dominated everyone and was far ahead of them in points.

After a moment of silence, neither of them stepped forward.

Haiyalim's eyes flickered but he didn't step forward either.

Still, someone stepped out from the crowd. It was Su Jiner. She said with a smile, "I want to see your other battle pets."

Su Ping nodded.

"Okay!" The Star Lord said, "I see that you all have your own judgments. Now, let's decide. Su Ping will be a candidate for the champion and the other five will fight for one spot. The winner will fight against Su Ping for the final championship!"

He continued, "Of course, don't worry about the unfairness. The winner will be healed by the Sea Tuo Lord. Even if the battle pet dies, the Sea Tuo Lord will resurrect you. You can fight to your heart's content!"

The others were shocked. They didn't know that this was the reason they had been asked to step forward.

The rules were simple and crude.

As for the audience outside, they were seething with excitement and astonishment. Bring back the dead battle pets? Could an Ascendant have such a horrifying ability?

Su Ping was surprised as well. Back in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, he had met creatures that were beyond the level of an Ascendant. None of them were able to resurrect other creatures, unless they were undead creatures. However, the Star Lord was not talking about resurrecting the undead, but restoring the dead to their original state. Could an Ascendant really do that?

"Where's the system? Come out and answer me!"

A moment later, Su Ping said to himself.

A few seconds later, the system replied in a deep voice, "The rules in your universe are not as restrictive. Even an Ascendant can master the rules of time. Besides, we are in the small world of an Ascendant. The rules and order in the small world are set by the Ascendant. It is the same in any world."

Su Ping was surprised. They were in the small world of an Ascendant?

He looked at the vast land in front of him. Was this the small world of that Ascendant of Hai Tuo?

This was too vast, comparable to the area of hundreds of Blue Planets!

"So, the Blue Sea Queen can come back to life as well? Right, she must be. She hasn't come back to life yet because the others have realized the seriousness of the matter. But she will definitely come back to life later. After all, the Blue Sea Queen is a genius. She can easily make it to the Top 10. It would be a shame to let her die in vain. "

Su Ping said to himself.

"Are you dissatisfied with this rule? Are you not satisfied?" After the Star Lord finished speaking, he looked at Su Jin 'er and the others.

The five of them looked at Su Ping. Obviously, if there was anything they were dissatisfied with, it was because Su Ping could enter the final round directly. But … they had to think of Su Ping's previous performance.

That guy's battle pets were already so terrifying. Who could say that he didn't have some skills?

Soon, someone looked at Su Jiner. An idea came to their mind. If it weren't for this girl, Su Ping wouldn't have been the champion, would he?

When they thought up to this point, their hearts couldn't help but contract, and they rejoiced slightly. For a time, they felt a sense of gratitude towards Su Jin 'er.

"You two, none of you are dissatisfied. Challenge each other. The winner can continue the challenge." The Star Lord pointed at Dragon King and Glaos.

Both of them stepped out of the ranks to express their dissatisfaction.

Hearing the Astral Lord's words, the Dragon Emperor's eyes flashed with extreme anger. He had always been at the top since he was young. Even in a place like the Dragon Tomb Academy, where geniuses were as common as the clouds, he was still left in the dust. But now, he was actually the last one to be mixed with trash like Greios. He felt ashamed.

"How dare you challenge me? You will regret it!"

The Dragon King glared at Glaos coldly and said in a low voice.

Glaos said coldly, "Please make me regret it as soon as possible."

"Humph!"

The Dragon King clenched his fists.

The Star Lord ignored the two of them and said to Su Jiner and Haiyalim, "You two will form a team. The winner will not be decided. If no one challenges you, you will fight Su Ping."

Su Jiner said helplessly, "Okay."

The Star Master looked at Linghu Jian and said, "In a while, the Dragon Emperor and Greios will choose to fight. The winner will fight with you, and the winner will fight with the winner of the other two for a spot in the finals."

"Okay."

Linghu Jian nodded. He didn't have any objections. However, he knew that if the competition was absolutely fair, it would be difficult for him to win.
