Astral Pet Store (WN)

“Mr. Su!”

“Fate Challenger Su!”

Han Yuxiang and Yun Wanli cried out at the same time.

There were some bolts of purple lightning glistening around Yun Wanli’s clothes. He reached Su Ping within an instant. “Fate Challenger, please. The formation is quite abstruse and there are portals to different locations inside. You have to wait for Nan Fengtian to come out if you want to get to the 19th level, or for me to deactivate the seal of the 19th level for you, or else you’ll be attacked by all the foul energy of the entire Graveyard Forest. Not even a legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State can take that…”

“Please, Mr. Su, please calm down,” Han Yuxiang also tried to talk Su Ping out of it.

“It’s okay,” Su Ping insisted.

He waved his hand with a cold look and determination, pushing away Yuan Wanli who was blocking in front of him.

Su Ping stepped forward.

Buzzing!

A wind sprang up.

Su Ping re-emerged above the dense purple bamboo forest. Many purple lines were growing out in the air. Just like a spider web, the purple lines trapped Su Ping inside, away from the Graveyard Forest.

“Fate Challenger Su!” Yun Wanli screamed.

Su Ping placed his hand on the lines.

There was a bang, and the formation cracked. Amid the loud noise, the sky darkened in an instant as dark clouds gathered in the otherwise clear sky above the entire Graveyard Forest-or, to be exact, above the entire Valiant Academy!

“Alas!”

Yun Wanli stomped his feet. He just couldn’t stop a person who was courting death!

Breaking in would provoke all the corpses and foul energy in the Graveyard Forest. Su Ping could die!

No matter how much strength he had, at the end of the day Su Ping was but a young man. His combat strength would amount to nothing when dealing with those corpses and foul energy because the latter would attack the spirit. That was why Fei Tianyi had not been doing as well as Nan Fengtian in that Graveyard Forest.

“That is… bold.”

The girl surnamed Guo was staring with disbelief at the young man who was trying to tear the formation apart to break into the Graveyard Forest. That was not only a cultivation field for the students but also a shelter for the times when the Valiant Academy was under attack!

Anyone who didn’t follow the specific routes would unavoidably provoke all the corpses and the deadly energy inside. Not even a legendary battle pet warrior would survive that! Fei Tianyi was dumbstruck. He could not believe that anyone could be so hotheaded.

Breaking into the Graveyard Forest was a suicidal action. Su Ping was doomed; Fei Tianyi felt disappointed.

Su Ping was supposed to be a rare talent but he was going to pass away in such a foolish manner.

“Father once told me that the number of talents is countless but very few can stick to the end. Talent is not the only thing that matters; the ones who can survive on top of being talented are truly powerful…” Fei Tianyi remembered his father’s teachings. He no longer felt respect as he looked at that young man; he just felt indifferent. Su Ping might have created a sensation at the Dragon Tower but no sensation would last for long if he died.

The students standing behind Fei Tianyi and the girl were rooted to the ground. That guy is mad!

“Oh god no, he’s losing it!”

“He is trying to break into the Graveyard Forest. Not even a legendary battle pet warrior would do that!”

Qin Shaotian and Liu Qingfeng were anxious and afraid. They weren’t that close to Su Ping, but they were all from the Longjiang Base City. It bothered them to see that Su Ping would choose that suicidal approach.

They had been in the academy for less than half a year but they had come to know the terrors of the Graveyard Forest. Of course, they would know because the students would often tell their stories.

There was a historical account which said that there had once been a legendary battle pet warrior who had arrived to strike the Valiant Academy, but he ended up dead in the Graveyard Forest!

That was a perilous place even for legendary battle pet warriors!

Students would go there to cultivate; they would behave and follow the rules. They would pick up their passes and walk in along the designated paths. “A talent from the Longjiang Base City… For him to be dying here…”

“This is not worth it!”

Zhou Yun and Ye Longtian felt their hearts ache. Su Ping was much more talented than they were; it was ridiculous for him to die in such a way.

Su Ping stood above the purple bamboos.

The clear sky had turned completely dark; wind howled and blew as if ghosts were crying. The temperature was dropping.

From the depths of the bamboo forest rose many masses of darkness from which came out blood-freezing and offending screams, paired with cries of madness and violence.

“Mr. Su!” Han Yuxiang shouted, his face pale.

He didn’t want to see a talent fall that way. Su Ping didn’t look back; he felt the surging evil and the surrounding foul energy. His Force Field was coming out behind him.

“You puny ghosts. How dare you cry in front of me!”

Su Ping stepped into the gale.

The cold and cutting wind blew his hair back. Amid everyone’s stares, he walked forward while floating in the air.

The foul energy was surging toward him from different directions. The darkness took the shape of beasts that were roaring and pouncing at him. Su Ping walked onward.

Roar!

The ferocious bellow echoed above the Graveyard Forest. A huge dragon head was formed by the darkness which snapped its jaws at Su Ping.

Su Ping raised his head the moment the dragon head was about to reach him.

His eyes were cold as ice and red as blood.

The wind stopped. The dragon’s roar stopped.

In the meantime, a magnificent shadow that held a huge sword stepped out from the dark Force Field behind Su Ping. The shadow was tall, covered in sharp blades. It moved its sword to hack at the front.

A ray of dark sword light whooshed out.

That dragon head cracked open; cries and screams emerged from the inside. The foul energy was split up and dispersed in the vicinity.

The dark shadow behind Su Ping had also vanished; he stood in the air with a profound killing intent, which made him look like a demon.

Su Ping made his way forward and the evil energy retreated to the sides. It was afraid to get near him!

The students and teachers alike were unable to understand why they were seeing such a situation.

“That… He…”

Yun Wanli widened his eyes. He was also unable to keep calm after seeing such development.

He, of all people, knew the horrors of the Graveyard Forest and Su Ping turned out to be even more horrifying than the Graveyard Forest!

The Principal was able to feel that killing intent, even while standing in the distance. Goosebumps had broken out.

The Graveyard Forest was a residence for ghosts and Su Ping was their king!

He could not fathom how much blood Su Ping had to see to attain such a killing intent.

“He’s not even at the legendary rank, but he already has a Force Field and quite the violent one at that… A Force Field is the manifestation of one’s heart and soul. What is in his heart and soul?” Yun Wanli’s heart was racing. All of a sudden, he began to understand why that young man had managed to stay alive after what he had done in the Tower!

Yun Wanli didn’t get to see it; he had heard some of the story from other legendary battle pet warriors but they didn’t want to talk about it. He understood that. It was not a good thing.

But he then realized that there was another reason.

That young man was terror itself!

Han Yuxiang had lost his ability to talk.

He had yet again reshaped his idea about Su Ping. The Dragon Tower had proven Su Ping’s young age.

He was less than 24 years of age, but he was able to compare to legendary battle pet warriors and his mind and soul were terrifying. How?

Han Yuxiang could not even think about how Su Ping had made such progress, including that mysterious legendary battle pet warrior who was hiding in Su Ping’s store. Su Ping was a person of secrets and Han Yuxiang didn’t even think he was a person from the Blue Planet.

Fei Tianyi, the girl, and the other students were frozen on the spot.

They thought they had just witnessed how hell had opened up to make way for the king of demons to come out!

That young man was the king of all that was evil!

Fei Tianyi’s mind had stopped functioning.

The girl stared, dumbfounded.

Whoosh!

Su Ping walked past the bamboos and reached the graveyard. The evil energy retreated. Many ancient but mighty figures were faintly seen in the Force Field behind him, but barely anyone noticed it.
