Su Ping didn't say anything else since there was no way to pursue the matter. He wasn't strong enough to exact revenge on a Star Lord yet. It would be even more pointless to talk tough; he would never let the person he really wanted to deal with know his intentions.
Su Ping recalled the Inferno Dragon and left the island with the mentors.
Everybody on the hill looked at Su Ping when he returned; they couldn't have been more shocked.
"The power of twenty laws!"
"Did I sense it wrong? That's already the limit of the Star State, isn't it? "
"That dragon didn't use its full strength earlier …"
"What the heck? Even pets know how to play tricks on people? "
Everybody had clearly seen how the Inferno Dragon dealt with the mentor's attack, but they still found it unreal. A Fate State dragon had mastered twenty laws; it was even more unbelievable than any of the geniuses there!
"That dragon's aptitude is probably SS!"
"SS? Why do I feel that SSS is good enough? It should be a top genius, provided that it's really in the Fate State … "
"Damn it. We're not as good as his pet!"
"I should be at the foot of the hill, not here …"
"He's just relying on his pet. What's so great about him? He would've been a weakling if it weren't for his dragon."
"A weakling? Didn't you see how he fought for the seat at the top of the hill? He might not be as good as his pet, but he's not a weakling at all! "
Su Ping and the Inferno Dragon made everybody whisper to each other. Many of them didn't even try to hide their envy. They felt that they would've been qualified to compete with the geniuses at the top of the hill if they had such a powerful pet!
On the island — Dragon Devil clenched his fists with an awful expression.
"It's a fact that you've lost. Just consider it a lesson. There will be more geniuses in the upcoming Universe Geniuses' Contest. Work hard in your training," said the Star Lord mentor solemnly after seeing Dragon Devil's expression.
Dragon Devil gritted his teeth, feeling humiliated.
Of course, he knew that there were countless geniuses in the Universe Geniuses Contest, especially those who could make it to the Star Zone and the general arena. However, he didn't expect to meet a troublemaker here.
Besides, the way he lost was too humiliating. His opponent didn't even do anything. He had been crushed by a battle pet!
"If your performance is good, the president will invite an Extraordinary trainer to help you and the Dragon Emperor train your pets. What you need to do is to improve yourself," the Star Lord mentor continued.
Dragon Devil narrowed his eyes and asked quickly, "Really?"
However, the prerequisite is that your performance must satisfy the headmaster. "
The Star Lord mentor nodded; they had to be stimulated. However, he wasn't making empty promises. If they performed well in the Illusionary God Mysterious Realm, the president would indeed help them. After all, the further they went in the Universe Geniuses' Contest, the more famous the academy would be!
"I understand." Dragon Devil took a deep breath and calmed down, but he clenched his fists even harder. He would never forget the humiliation he had suffered today.
On the other hand, Su Ping had returned to his chair at the top of the mountain.
The people next to him who didn't have a seat looked at Su Ping, but they didn't intend to challenge him.
Previously, Su Ping had only used his battle pet and didn't participate in the battle himself. Nobody could tell if the battle pet was Su Ping's trump card.
Besides, the twenty laws that the pet unleashed when it dealt with the Star Lord mentor were enough to intimidate them; they weren't confident that they could defeat it.
"Is your battle pet really in the Fate State?"
On Su Ping's left side, the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady, who had previously thought that Su Ping was a coward, changed her opinion of him. Su Ping's battle pet's overwhelming strength suggested that Su Ping was just too lazy to fight, not because he was scared of his opponent.
She, for example, was too lazy to teach Dragon Devil a lesson, even though he was full of crap. She didn't think it would dirty her hands, not because she was scared of him.
"Yes."
Su Ping nodded; he didn't intend to keep it a secret. Most people wouldn't reveal their battle pet's level, but he didn't think it was a big deal to reveal it.
"…"
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady was silent for a moment. Even though her senses told her that the battle pet was in the Fate State, she was still shocked to hear Su Ping admit it.
She believed that Su Ping wouldn't lie. After all, geniuses like him would either keep their mouths shut or mock them. As for lying … the more proud a person was, the more they would despise such a thing.
The woman in a white robe on Su Ping's right side heard the conversation too. Her expression slightly changed, and she suddenly felt that the stone chair she was sitting on was somewhat uncomfortable.
A Fate State battle pet … Even she wasn't as talented as it was.
She had been cultivating hard for years, and was known as a one-in-a-hundred-thousand-billion-year-old genius. Yet, she had been surpassed by a pet?
While the two women were silent, the Dragon Emperor, who was sitting on a stone chair in the distance, stared at Su Ping for a long time and said, "What's the species of your Long Chong?"
His question attracted a lot of attention. The people in the other seats also looked at Su Ping curiously.
They could understand if it was one of the legendary top pets they had heard of.
“？”
Su Ping asked curiously, "Do we know each other well?"
Su Ping hadn't forgotten the guy's mockery. Besides, the guy seemed to be from the same academy as the one who had been defeated by the Dragon Emperor.
Then, there was no point in chatting with him.
"…"
The Dragon Emperor was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. However, he couldn't help but curl his hands on the stone chair, as if he were about to clench them into fists. However, he didn't clench his fists directly, as that would show his anger.
"Heh." The Dragon Emperor sneered and didn't say anything else.
The others were slightly regretful that Su Ping didn't say anything, but they weren't too surprised. After all, the battle pet was a trump card, and it wasn't their obligation to tell you what it was. Who would show their trump card to someone else and introduce it to them?
Holding back their curiosity, the others flashed their eyes and pondered something else.
The battle between Holy King and the Apocalypse had shown them how terrifying the geniuses of the other academies were, but Su Ping's battle had made many of them pay attention to the others on the mountaintop.
None of the people who had made it there were weak!
"The Amir Royal Academy …"
Holy King, who was sitting on the other side, narrowed his eyes and withdrew his gaze from Su Ping. Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt lucky that he had chosen the Apocalypse instead of Su Ping.
He did intend to choose Su Ping back then, but considering the speed at which Su Ping fought for the seat, and the vague sense of danger he gave off, he sensed that the guy was stronger than the Apocalypse. That was why he chose the Apocalypse.
As it turned out, his intuition was correct.
That guy was truly a monster. Even his battle pet was so horrifying!
On the island — Dragon Devil had returned. He looked at Su Ping but didn't say anything. This time, he simply flew to Su Ping's right and approached the woman in a white robe.
"I'll take your seat!"
He said the same thing as before, but this time, Dragon Devil didn't sound arrogant at all. Instead, he sounded rather gloomy.
The woman in a white robe raised her eyebrows in surprise. She looked at Dragon Devil and smiled. "I admire your courage."
After that, she simply rose and flew to the island.
Dragon Devil snorted and swallowed a pill. His wounds were soon healed, and he was back to his peak.
Very soon, another battle broke out on the island.
"He's smart enough to challenge the Holy Oriole Academy."
"It can't be helped. The Holy Oriole Academy is easier to bully. The others are all top geniuses of their respective academies."
"Don't lose again, or you'll be too ashamed to show your face."
While everyone was discussing, the battle on the island became more intense. The white-robed girl was a top genius in the Shengying Academy and was known as the Goddess of Light. Her combat physique was the Holy Light Combat Physique, which was one of the top ten combat physiques of the light element!
She was still at an advantage when faced with Dragon Devil's demonic constitution.
However, as the battle grew more intense, Dragon Devil became even more brutal. He used the ultimate skills that he hadn't been able to use against the Inferno Dragon earlier, catching the Goddess of Light unprepared.
The battle was over five minutes later.
Dragon Devil had actually won!
He had displayed terrifying strength in this battle and forced his opponent to retreat again and again. Many people who were looking forward to seeing the Dragon Tomb Academy lose twice in a row were disappointed that their hopes were dashed.
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady, who was sitting on Su Ping's left, looked cold. Even though she and the Goddess of Light were on different sides in the academy, they were on the same side outside of the academy.
"Humph!"
Dragon Devil returned to the mountaintop and sat on Su Ping's right. He glanced at Su Ping and snorted, implying that he was qualified to sit on the mountaintop even though he had lost to Su Ping.
However, someone who had been waiting next to him challenged him soon after he sat down.
He was from the Sword Deity Academy, known as Sword Maniac. He carried a sword that was as thick as a coffin, and his hair was messy. He didn't seem to care about his image at all.
Dragon Devil's expression changed after hearing the challenge. He had just finished a battle; even though he had won, it was only a narrow victory. The Goddess of Light wasn't easy to deal with, and he almost lost.
"I didn't expect the Sword Deity Academy to pick up the loot," mocked Dragon Devil gloomily.
Sword Maniac said indifferently, "Do you think you're allowed to bully a woman? Don't you have that pill? Keep eating it and fighting!"
"F * ck you!" Dragon Devil couldn't help but curse. He had never been a civilized man in the first place; he couldn't hold back anymore.
The pill was very precious. He wouldn't have taken it if he hadn't lost so miserably to Su Ping. He would've challenged him again to regain his dignity.
You want to take it again? Give it to me!
"If you want to challenge someone, why don't you challenge me instead?" said the Dragon Emperor on the other side, helping Dragon Devil out of his predicament.
Sword Maniac frowned, but before he could say anything, the young man with a wooden sword next to the Dragon Emperor put on a smile and said, "I can play with you if you're free."
He looked harmless to humans and animals, and he looked like a little shota.
The Dragon Emperor said coldly, "I'm told that you're the Sword God's personal disciple. I do want to meet you. I hope you won't disgrace your Ascendant State title."
"My master's Ascendant State title isn't something you can mention," said the Wooden Sword Boy with a smile.
"Humph!"
The Dragon Emperor snorted and didn't argue further. An Ascendant State expert was indeed someone he couldn't afford to offend at the moment.
"Do you dare? Get lost if you don't." At this moment, Sword Maniac withdrew his gaze and spoke to Dragon Devil in an even harsher tone.
"Bring it on!"
Dragon Devil certainly couldn't take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and took out another pill that was identical to the one before. Then, he rose and flew to the island with Sword Maniac.
The battle broke out again. Dragon Devil performed all kinds of ultimate skills, but Sword Maniac also displayed terrifying strength. His swordsmanship, in particular, was amazing. In less than five minutes, Sword Maniac defeated Dragon Devil with a slight advantage and took his seat.
"Just as I expected, they're all geniuses."
"Dragon Devil: I still have pills. I can fight again!"
"Pooh. He wouldn't dare take any more pills even if he had more. I don't think the rest of them are easy to deal with."
"Maybe he can bully the other guy from the Holy Oriole Academy?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying that the Dragon Tomb Academy bullies women?"
"That's enough from the Hugh Mia Academy!"
"The Dragon Tomb Academy is losing patience. Haha!"
"What do you mean? Do you really think that the Holy Oriole Academy is so weak? The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady is the best expert in our academy. He wouldn't have been able to get a seat if he had challenged her! "
The students of the other academies were discussing at the foot of the mountain. The girls of the Holy Oriole Academy also joined in. Even though they had been kicked out, they weren't weak.
The Thousand Leaves Holy Lady, in particular, was a super genius that hadn't appeared in hundreds of years. They had witnessed Dragon Devil's battle; they believed that the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady could definitely suppress him!
Sword Maniac was given a seat after Dragon Devil's failure. This time, Dragon Devil didn't take any pills; he simply gritted his teeth and went to the mountainside.
A few other people who hadn't decided yet chose to challenge the Thousand Leaves Holy Lady and Queen of the Seas, one of the twin stars of the Hugh Mia Academy.
However, all the challenges ended in failure. In the end, the seats were fixed. Of the eight contestants on the mountaintop, only the Dragon Tomb Academy and the Holy Oriole Academy had one seat; the other three academies each had two.
The Star Lords in charge of the mysterious realm stood up and told everyone to cultivate; the Illusionary God Monument Challenge would begin in ten hours.
The sun was eternal in that mysterious realm; there was no alternation between the sun and the moon. Everybody began to cultivate after their seats were secured.
On the mountaintop — Su Ping sensed the overwhelming astral power in the stone chair. He quickly absorbed the astral power in the Chaos Star Chart and condensed it into his cells.
Nobody was able to see what they were doing from the outside, thanks to the light arrays outside the seats. It was quite peaceful.
There's also divine power and vague laws …
Su Ping's eyes flashed. The seats on the mountaintop were indeed beneficial; the astral power was extremely pure and mixed with abundant divine power. There were also some laws that could clear one's mind. If he happened to be stuck in a bottleneck or studying laws, it was possible that he would be inspired by the laws and gain an epiphany.
Time flew by.
Su Ping absorbed astral power and divine power while integrating his laws. He had accumulated far more laws than the average Star State warrior; he could try to construct a small world.
However, Su Ping didn't know how to construct a small world for the time being; he had to figure it out on his own.
Ten hours passed quickly.
The Star Lord of the mysterious realm flew to that place with a bunch of monuments.
Those monuments were of different sizes; they were all entangled with red threads, as if they were some sort of strange runes.
"The Illusionary God Monument Challenge has officially begun." The Star Lord's voice echoed throughout the mountain and pulled everybody back to reality. He said, "You can choose any monument you want. You'll run into different enemies, but they're all as strong as you are. The only difference is that they're good at different ways of attack. You'll be able to sense that before you enter the monument.
"I suggest you pick the opponents that you can best counter. The higher the points, the more benefits you'll get."
