Right then, the formerly packed stage moments before was almost empty. Those family heads had experienced another shift of emotions. Apart from astonishment, they had become afraid of the young man standing on the stage.
That young man was uncommon!
The family heads believed that in their case they would have had to exert great efforts and create a huge disturbance to rein in that many battle pets on the stage.
As sturdy as the structure of the venue was, it wouldn’t have been able to withstand the impact when they took action.
None of them could have gotten rid of the battle pets with those strange rings as Su Ping did.
Besides, they could not yet tell whether those battle pets had been slaughtered or just captured. Either way, what Su Ping did was formidable. Those ninth-rank battle pets didn’t stand a chance when it came to escaping those odd things. The family heads were unable to say for sure whether their battle pets could have escaped the rings!
That was exactly why Qin Duhuang was unable to keep calm any longer. After all, the strange ring that Su Ping used had captured a dragon at the peak of the ninth-rank easily!
At the moment, the audience became less panicky.
Some people had yet to escape through the corridors. Realizing that the big fight they anticipated had ended, they stopped on the spot in a daze.
Some battle pet warriors who had stepped closer to the stage just to have a clearer view were in total silence.
No wonder Su Ping dared to start killing in public!
He was completely unafraid about the possibility of hurting the innocent in a venue that could house hundreds of thousands of people!
It turned out that the other party wasn’t even qualified to fight Su Ping. He had overpowered them!
Even the battle pets that lost their masters were unable to stir up any trouble. All the battle pets were brought under control!
Dreadful!
Since when did such a person come to the Longjiang Base City?!
Also, what was the deal with the young man’s test? Was he a titled battle pet warrior or was he at the sixth rank?
Were it not for the established fact that there were only two legendary battle pet warriors in the entire Subcontinent District, they would have speculated that this young man was a legendary battle pet warrior!
“Go and take care of that guy.”

Having settled the matter, Su Ping was able to tone down his fury. The momentum disappeared. He became the person that everyone knew.
He darted a glance at the Phantom Flame Beast that was lying in a pool of blood and gave an order to the Dark Dragon Hound.
The Dark Dragon Hound still remembered the Phantom Flame Beast that Su Ping had once trained. In the cultivation site, at first, that dark cat was a bit swollen with arrogance. After the Dark Dragon Hound taught the dark cat a good lesson with a slap, the Phantom Flame Beast began to behave and had become the Dark Dragon Hound’s minion.
The Phantom Flame Beast was the hound’s minion because the two shared the same rotten tastes, i.e. hiding at the back during battles.
At the very beginning, the Phantom Flame Beast was not such a coward. Su Lingyue had been pampering the Phantom Flame Beast to the point that it was bloated with pride. However, after tasting the “excitement” of several battles, the Phantom Flame Beast had a change of personality. The Phantom Flame Beast had realized that staying alive without serious ambitions was the true meaning of life!
To stay alive was the best thing ever! Why would I be obsessed with battles which were so boring (painful) before?
Whoosh!
The Dark Dragon Hound ran over to where the Phantom Flame Beast was.
The sword cut inflicted on the Phantom Flame Beast’s belly was deep and its internal organs were falling out. But the ruptures on the internal organs were not serious. For the moment, the Phantom Flame Beast was not in mortal danger.
The Dark Dragon Hound cast a healing skill and used its tongue to help put the Phantom Flame Beast’s internal organs back.
While the Dark Dragon Hound took care of the Phantom Flame Beast, Su Ping was staring at Yan Bingyue. He didn’t wish to expose the scroll to the public. Otherwise, he could have put her inside and that would save him a ton of trouble.
“Keep an eye on her.” Su Ping had to leave Yan Bingyue to the Little Skeleton first. Afterward, he put back the Inferno Dragon that was still breathing heavily, yearning for more violence. That guy had just returned from the “awesome” journey of going through the Heaven’s Tests and was craving for blood. The dragon had exercised great restraint to hold back from hurting anyone just then.
Su Ping looked at the two titled battle pet warriors of the government in the distance and asked calmly, “Guys, do you want to continue the match or not?”

The two titled battle pet warriors stared at Su Ping blankly and their mouths twitched.
Continue?
Why would we? Three titled battle pet warriors have perished already!
Usually, an entire city would have to mourn when one titled battle pet warrior passed away. Three had died in a single day!
The titled battle pet warriors were the cornerstones of human society. Of the three who perished that day, one was from the government. The other two were from the Star Organization, and the Dragon Knight was a senior titled battle pet warrior that had built up fame many years in the past.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Dragon Knight lacked some potential and was unable to reach the legendary rank, the Dragon Knight would have enjoyed grander fame.
“Well…”
They had to provide an answer since Su Ping had thrown the question to them. The middle-aged titled battle pet warrior that was the first to approach Su Ping produced a forced smile. “Mr. Su, well, how about we split the prizes according to the current rankings?”
Su Ping cast him a glance. “Explain.” “You take first place, Miss Su takes second place, and Xu Kuang third place. What do you think, sir?”
The titled battle pet warrior trod carefully. He had been extra respectful to Su Ping. Generally speaking, titled battle pet warriors would only use honorific words when they talked to legendary battle pet warriors, those at the peak of the titled rank or top-level trainers.
Su Ping replied coldly. “Do you think I would have waited till today to join if I wanted the championship?”
The titled battle pet warrior’s heart skipped a beat. Of course, he knew that. “Sir, what do you think we should do then?”
“I said that I’m a reasonable man,” Su Ping reiterated that point. “I only intervened because of this girl. But since she has admitted defeat and was detained by me, the championship is mine. But I’m resigning. So, you can compete for the championship or you can just make my younger sister the champion. After all, I don’t think that any of you can defeat this guy.” By the “guy,” he meant the wounded Moonfrost Dragon.
Qin Shaotian and the other participants turned pale. They said nothing.
Qin Shaotian had lost to the dragon once. As for Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou, they could not even beat Qin Shaotian, let alone the dragon.
The two titled battle pet warriors from the government were smiling on the outside while cursing on the inside. You killed Mr. He after the slightest disagreement.
You also slew Dragon Knight and Spear Devil from the Star Organization!
You’re keeping Yan Bingyue in custody! And you claim to be a reasonable man?! “If no one has any disagreement, then my sister will be the champion. As for the rest, you do what you see fit. I will take my sister back if that’s ok with you,” Su Ping said.
The two couldn’t wait to send Su Ping away. They were shaking with fear as they stood in front of this fiend.
The way Su Ping killed the titled battle pet warriors was too casual, as if he were merely butchering chickens. The two of them were afraid that they would unwittingly offend him. The one who had summoned two battle pets had originally thought about stopping Su Ping. His back was thoroughly drenched with cold sweat.
Finally, the two from the government understood what their leaders meant by saying that Su Ping’s store was dangerous.
With such a person, of course the store was dangerous!
She’s his sister. No wonder she has such a dragon… The two titled battle pet warriors stole a glance at Su Lingyue, but that glance lasted for merely one second. With Su Ping still present, they didn’t dare to keep their gazes on her.
The major families sitting near the stage said nothing when Su Ping determined the champion right off the bat.
The day had turned into one hot mess. In the past, winning the championship of the Elite League would have been the highlight of the day. However, it had become a trivial matter at this point.
Compared to the championship, three titled battle pet warriors dying was the highlight!
People from the Star Organization had been killed in the Longjiang Base City and Yan Bingyue was captured. No one could tell what kind of force the Star Organization would send to the Longjiang Base City and what the base city would have to face next!
After all, if the Star Organization intended to exert full force, they could easily flatten the whole city!
Liu Tianzong’s face became clouded. He hid every trace of his energy. If it weren’t for the fact that people could still see him with their naked eyes, they would have mistaken that as an empty seat. He was afraid that Su Ping would see him. Since Su Ping had already killed Mr. He from the government, killing him was nothing.
Having seen the skeleton and the Inferno Dragon, as well as the strange rings, Liu Tianzong had lost all confidence. Liu Tianzong wished he could reverse time right then and beat up Liu Yuan. If Liu Yuan had found out everything about Su Ping, Liu Tianzong would have never competed with his store, even if he had lost his sane mind.
While his mind was occupied with nervousness, Su Ping turned to him.
The two made eye contact.
At that moment, Liu Tianzong’s heart stopped. He felt his blood was surging to his head and the flight instinct kicked in.
But the next second, Su Ping looked away. Before that, the last glance he cast at Liu Tianzong had been meaningful.
Liu Tianzong understood that meaning immediately.
This young man didn’t plan on killing him at the moment, but if he kept on offending him, death would definitely be close by!
He thought of what Su Ping had said before. Su Ping stated that he could silence the Liu family or even wipe them out. Based on his capacity, it was very likely that he could do it!
Besides, given his strength, he could work with any other major family and that would be enough to destroy them! Liu Tianzong regretted his decisions. He had lived for so many years, and yet he had made he had made such a stupid call. Liu Yuan was not the only one to blame. Liu Tianzong knew that he would not be able to escape from his responsibility, either. He had underestimated Su Ping and directly made an enemy out of
him.
Right then, he could only hope that those from the Star Organization could wipe out the Pixie Pet Store.
That was the only way that the Liu family could keep their former way of living. Otherwise, in the future, when those from the Liu family met people from the Pixie Pet Store, the former would have to treat the latter with respect and feel inferior.
Su Ping looked away from Liu Tianzong and said to the two titled battle pet warriors from the government. “Which one of you knows more about the Star Organization?”
“Huh?”
One of the titled battle pet warriors assumed he knew what Su Ping was going to do, but he didn’t expect this question from him. It appeared that Su Ping didn’t know the Star Organization well.
Why the hell did you kill their people, then?
The two titled battle pet warriors were speechless. One of them said with a bitter smile, “Mr. Su, the Star Organization is the strongest force in our Sub-continent District and they have a lot of titled battle pet warriors. The former leader of the Star Organization was a legendary battle pet warrior. Later, due to some special reason, that warrior passed away.
“That being said, the force was indeed set up by a legendary battle pet warrior and the organization has been in existence for dozens of years. The organization has treasures, skills, and rare pets, more than anyone can count. Many titled battle pet warriors are willing to join them.”
With that said, he gave Su Ping a look that said volumes, implying that he was going to face a tough problem!
“The strongest force in our Sub-continent District?”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
That was a powerful background.
No wonder those guys were so arrogant. Their organization had a legendary battle pet warrior as the founder.
However, that legendary battle pet warrior had already died. Besides, Su Ping could kill one if a legendary battle pet warrior showed up! The Little Skeleton’s combat strength had surpassed 10 already. Dealing with average legendary battle pet warriors was child’s play for the Little Skeleton!
Su Ping thought for a while and suddenly turned to the family heads with a smile. “Dear family heads, I’ve heard so much about you.” “Huh?”
The family heads were surprised, since Su Ping had addressed them all of a sudden.
Of them, Liu Tianzong was stressed out. His hair was standing on end.
Zhou Tianlin was also scared, afraid that Su Ping would launch an attack at the Zhou family here, this day.
“I haven’t invited you to come to my store yet. Now that the deal with the Elite League is about to end, I hope you can do me the favor and pay a visit to my store tomorrow,” Su Ping said, smilingly.
