Chapter 647 Doubts
“It must be a legendary battle pet warrior. Can you find out who?” a titled battle pet warrior asked.
That impressive group of beasts had been routed. It was even possible that several legendary battle pet warriors were cooperating.
“Tell the intelligence unit to find out. Guys, be ready for battle and greeting if required,” the commander-in-chief said.
They would be ready for battle in case there were still wild beasts coming.
At the same time, they had to express their appreciation to the legendary battle pet warrior, or warriors who had stepped in and solved the problem for them.
“What…?”
The Vice Chairman was a bit speechless; they had been discussing and sharing what secret weapons they had prepared when all of a sudden, they didn’t have to use them.
Of course it was a good thing, but it still felt strange.
“Let’s head to the entrance,” the commander-in-chief suggested to Legend Riverside.
Legend Riverside nodded.
They had planned accordingly; it was of no use staying in the tent. All they needed to do was to wait for more updated information.
The intelligence unit was an eye for them; they could provide information so they would know what the wild beasts were like so they could plan ahead.
Just one legendary battle pet warrior. They did not lie to me…
Su Ping gazed at the magnificent wall of the Holy Light Base City. He really just sensed one legendary battle pet warrior.
en
That man is at the Ocean State. How weak.
If those wild beasts would have reached the Holy Light Base City, they would have turned the whole place upside down.
It’s a good thing I finished almost all of them, except for some insignificant animals, Su Ping thought.
Whoosh!
The Inferno Dragon dashed out from a cluster of clouds; some of the mist tried clinging onto its wings. The dragon flew down toward the base city’s outer wall.
“Huh?”
“Incoming!”
“That’s a powerful beast… Is it at the peak of the ninth-rank? Wait, I see a person. Reinforcements?”
Many people on the wall had noticed the dragon as it dove down through the clouds. The dragon was large enough to stand out and its energy was oppressive.
“Reinforcements?”
The commander-in-chief and Legend Riverside had also noticed the dragon. “I think that person… looks familiar.” The Vice Chairman narrowed his eyes so that he could see clearly. Two seconds later, astonishment climbed to his face.
It’s him?
What is a trainer doing here?
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two titled battle pet warriors took to the skies. A titled battle pet warrior stood in front of the dragon and asked with respect, “Sir, are you here to help?”
Those who made an appearance at this time would most likely be reinforcements. Of course, there was a small chance of beasts disguised as humans would try to infiltrate to create some trouble.
It seemed unbelievable but beasts knew how to disguise themselves. It could happen. Some special beasts could morph into different creatures. Others had the ability to delve into other creatures’ brains to manipulate them.
Such a tragedy had already happened once. A beast disguised as a human had sneaked into a base city. The beast then worked from within, collaborating with forces posted outside, destroying that base city in an instant!
“Yes.”
Su Ping nodded. “The problem was solved, more or less. I came to visit some old friends.”
The two titled battle pet warriors looked at each other in astonishment. The problem was solved?
They had just been notified. How could this man know?
They sized Su Ping up. “Sir, what is your title? The Holy Light Base City will certainly be grateful for your kindness. Please help us take note of your information.”
“You don’t have to know my title. I’m Su Ping from the Longjiang Base City. Truth be told, I am also a trainer. Here’s my medal.”
Su Ping knew what the two titled battle pet warriors really wanted to find out; he didn’t find their vigilance discomforting. He took out this top trainer medal from the storage space and presented it to the pair.
“Top trainer?”
The two were stunned.
This young-looking man is a top trainer?
Since they were living in the Holy Light Base City, the two clearly understood very well how honorable the top trainers were!
“Longjiang Base City… Top trainer…”
One of the two suddenly remembered something. “Do you have a student?”
“Yes, from the Zhong family,” Su Ping said.
“It is you…”
The titled warrior exhaled in relief. He cupped his fists with delight and respect. “I have heard so much about you. Was it a risky journey? This way, please. The Vice Chairman is here… Do you want to meet him?”
“Okay.”
Su Ping nodded.
The other titled battle pet warrior came back to his senses. He was still surprised; not only was the young man a titled battle pet warrior, he was also a top trainer.
Was he actually an old man in disguise?
That must be it!
The two accompanied Su Ping to the outer wall.
Su Ping sent the Inferno Dragon back to the contract space and flew to the outer wall to meet the legendary battle pet warrior.
“Brother Su? It is you!”
The Vice Chairman soon recognized him. He was the first who ran to meet him.
He was grateful since Su Ping had volunteered to help. Su Ping was just a trainer; while he was at the titled rank, trainers usually didn’t have the corresponding combat strength. They merely increased their ranks so they could have enough astral powers for their battle pets’ training. “Long time no see. How is your student?”
Su Ping had missed that old man; he smiled at the latter.
“You mean Yunzhan, right? She has earned the master medal not long ago.”
As he spoke of his student, the Vice Chairman could not help but flash a smug smile.
He had chosen the student himself; he still trusted that he had picked the best there was.
Time had proved him right.
Zhong Lingtong, Su Ping’s student, had not visited the base city to take the test.
Muliu Tusu had the best performance at the competition, but Yu Yunzhan had actually passed the test before Muliu Tusu!
The Vice Chairman still made a mental note to hold a small contest when their students met again.
Su Ping was present, but his student wasn’t. It was also not the right time to bring a student over.
“Well done.” Su Ping smiled.
That was good enough. He remembered that Yunzhan was very young. Since Yunzhan had passed the test, if she could then discover a path of research for herself, she could later become another top trainer.
“Well, she’s okay, I think…” While the Vice Chairman said so, he wasn’t able to conceal the happiness in his eyes.
“Brother Lu, who is this?”
The commander-in-chief and Legend Riverside walked over.
Before that day, they would have had to wait for the Vice Chairman to approach them. Still, the Trainers Association had reason to elicit more respect since the Chairman was at the threshold of the Holy Spirit rank. The Vice Chairman was not too focused on this, but as people would say, “When a man gets to the top, all his friends and relations would get there along with him.” Even Legend Riverside would need to behave respectfully towards the Vice Chairman.
Approaching the Vice Chairman might not see much; still, it was indeed a sign of respect.
The Vice Chairman realized he had lost himself in the reunion. “Brother Su, this is Legend Riverside and he’s here to help us. This is our commander-in-chief. They are the advisors…”
He then introduced Su Ping to the others.
He spoke of Su Ping with pride, also including his status against a member of the association.
“Top trainer?”
They were surprised, seeing a top trainer so young
The commander-in-chief suddenly remembered that not long before, Su Ping had earned his fame with a stunning performance; he had committed that name to memory.
The commander-in-chief was not made aware that the man was that young.
“Ah, Brother Su from Longjiang, what a hero,” the commander-in-chief exclaimed, “I admire you for the fact that you’re still willing to take the risk for our sake!”
The commander-in-chief added, “Brother Su, did you arrive alone? How was the trip?”
The Vice Chairman sized the young Su Ping and was happy to see that there were no wounds nor blood on him. “Yes.” Su Ping nodded. “I was in the Longyang Base City and overheard that beasts were going to attack your base city. I decided to make the trip over; most of the wild beats have been dealt with at this point. There might still be small groups of wild beasts trying to attack, but I don’t think that’s going to be a problemi for you.”
His words stunned everyone speechless.
The commander-in-chief and Legend Riverside were harboring suspicions; they stepped further away from Su Ping.
“Brother Su, how do you know that?” the commander-in-chief asked.
Legend Riverside stared at Su Ping; they had just been informed about that; there was only one explanation that Su Ping also knew. He had to be a wild beast in disguise!
Other than that, Legend Riverside could not find any other reason.
Did he see them on his way over?
No way!
No way. The beasts were traveling on different routes. Su Ping would have to deliberately go around the area to see them all.
“I finished them. Of course I know,” Su Ping said.
There was a moment of silence.
They eyed Su Ping with astonishment; the young man wondered if he had said something wrong.
The commander-in-chief and Legend Riverside didn’t say anything. They were waiting for an explanation, but that was not the explanation they had expected and Su Ping had said it quite naturally!
Did he finish them?
How?
He’s just a trainer!
Not even a Holy Spirit Trainer, let alone a top trainer, could have done that!
“You are only at the titled rank, right?” Legend Riverside pulled a long face. Su Ping was unhappy; he could infer what Legend Riverside was implying. Who said that a titled battle pet warrior cannot kill beast kings? Legend Riverside snorted. “That is not what I was saying. We do know Fate Challengers and even if you are one, you couldn’t have done all that. Do you know how many beast kings there were?”
He was giving Su Ping the cold-shoulder treatment.
He believed that only Void State battle pet warriors from the Tower could have stopped the strike.
The credit should go to the Tower. But Su Ping was trying to steal their thunder. How arrogant of him.
“If I remember correctly, there were 12 beast kings. Why?” Su Ping stared at him. He understood that others could have some doubts, but he wasn’t happy about Legend Riverside’s tone.
“Twelve?”
The commander-in-chief and the others were shocked.
The information they had received was that there had been seven beast kings, but Su Ping said the number was twelve!
So, five beast kings are hiding!
“Are you kidding me? You’re telling me that you personally took care of 12 beast kings?” Legend Riverside was livid with rage.
Even he would have run away upon seeing twelve beast kings.
Su Ping might have killed the beast kings one by one, but he couldn’t have done so within such a short time!
He understood that titled battle pet warriors were able to fight against beast kings. Still, it wasn’t okay for Su Ping to boast like that!
Su Ping was speechless.
Arguing about it was meaningless. “Since the beast kings are no longer part of the mix, you are welcome to go and find out for yourselves. The beast kings’ corpses are most likely still there. You must have sentries, right? Tell them to go and find out,” Su Ping said without batting an eyelid. The commander-in-chief was full of suspicion. Is Su Ping serious?
But that’s not possible!
He and Legend Riverside shared the same thought. And yet, Su Ping was quite calm and collected; that was not how a liar would act.
“Brother Su, are you serious?”
The Vice Chairman gazed at Su Ping in astonishment. Su Ping was at first talking to him about their students. He believed that it was indeed Su Ping, not a beast in disguise. That is, unless some pesticides had eaten up Su Ping’s brain and absorbed his memory; but such pesticides were rare. Also, as a trainer himself, the Vice Chairman was sensitive enough to detect the presence of any beast; he also had the beast alert device on him, and the device had not gone off.
So, it had to be Su Ping in the flesh.
Su Ping rolled his eyes. “Why would I lie to you? Don’t worry. I’m not asking for anything in return. I’m just dropped by to help and to pay a visit. You don’t have to thank me, but don’t act so paranoid with me.”
The others looked at each other speechlessly.
It seemed that Su Ping was telling the truth.
As they wondered, someone had quickly returned to make a report: nine dead beast kings had been found!
The commander-in-chief and the others gazed at Su Ping in astonishment. They had found nine dead beast kings and the search had not reached the end yet. Were there really twelve beast kings like Su Ping said? “Do you have any studying materials for master trainers in the Association?” Su Ping asked the Vice Chairman.
The latter came back to his senses. “Studying materials?”
ome
“Yes. If you do, give me some copies. I want to show them to my students,” Su Ping explained.
He could directly turn Zhong Lingtong into a top trainer by imparting her the rules he knew. However, she would only be able to copy him if they used such a method; that would limit her potential. She would then only be able to follow him, never being able to discover a path of her own.
He didn’t want that.
He knew next to nothing about basics and theories, having to ask others for the studying materials; she would have to learn them by herself.
His methods were unteachable because he was pursuing a different path from the ones used in the Trainers Association.
“Yes. I will take you there to lend you some,” the Vice Chairman said.
“Good. Let’s go now. I think everything is under control by now. After all, there is also a legendary battle pet warrior present,” Su Ping said.
Legend Riverside curled his lips.
After all, there was a legendary battle pet warrior?
Su Ping said it as if he were just a trophy warrior.
“Okay,” the Vice Chairman agreed and said his goodbyes to the commander-in-chief.
The latter didn’t disagree. The Vice Chairman didn’t have to stay there, since victory had been attained.
