Chapter 236 Teaching

That was close! Where did she come from?

I don’t think that girl is from our continent, and she cannot be a legendary battle pet warrior from another continent. Is she… from the extraterrestrial federation?

Yuan Tianchen was terrified by those thoughts. If she were a warrior that came from another planet that was part of the federation, then what was she trying to achieve by coming to the blue planet? Or could this girl be an officer secretly assigned by the federal government to monitor the blue planet?

Either was good news for him. What terrified him the most was not the girl herself, but how the young man was treating her!

That girl was not in the slightest weaker than he was but she had to listen to his orders!

Yuan Tianchen could certainly tell that the girl had to obey orders from the young man for some reason, based on how she acted when he was around. Yuan Tianchen couldn’t figure out why the girl had been forced into this situation, but he was certain that the underlying reason had to be appalling.

Yuan Tianchen didn’t think that a young man could have grabbed a hold of some vulnerable points of a legendary battle pet warrior all by himself. On the other hand, he did find it plausible if the girl feared the young man because she was scared of the horrifying presence that was supporting him!

“Did the young man… fake his background story?”

The information Yuan Tianchen had collected about the young man was detailed and specific. But he did know that those with great power and influence could fabricate a story realistic enough to fool him.

Yuan Tianchen was lost in his thoughts.

He… escaped?

Outside the store, on the street, Venerable the Blade and all the other titled battle pet warriors were standing there in astonishment after Yuan Tianchen ran away as rapidly as his feet would move.

They were currently staring at the building that had been penetrated by the spear. The building was fortunately unoccupied; a hole with a ten meter diameter or more had been left in the middle of the construction, as if it had been bombarded.

Rubble was falling.

They could still feel the surge of divine energy. They were shuddering in fear as they struggled to turn around.

Run? They had thought about running away. However, they halted this stupid thought in its tracks. To get away in front of a legendary battle pet warrior was as hard as it could get. Only one or two of them could have the good luck of successfully escaping if they could split up and flee to different directions.

The rule for hunters was that the hunter would capture the first one to run away in a cage.

Therefore, none of the titled battle pet warriors made the first move. None of them wanted to be the target that caught the hunter’s attention.

Su Ping was unhappy since Joanna had failed to kill that old man. “I thought you could have taken care of him easily. Why did you let him run away?” Su Ping accused her.

Joanna gazed into the direction the old man vanished into. She was confused as well. Su Ping’s words angered her, so she turned around and refuted, “How would I know? My strength is greatly undermined outside the territory of the store. Otherwise, that strike would have eliminated the old man, body, and soul!”

“Hmm, you’re useless. ^ “!!(m) Who are you calling useless?!!” “She who responded to my comment.” “You!!”

Joanna was losing her mind. She breathed heavily, foaming at the mouth.

She was a noble being of the god race. To let a petty human being slip away right under her nose was already a source of humiliation and fury. To make it worse, Su Ping wouldn’t stop nagging. Anger left her out of breath and she wished she could kill someone to vent her frustration.

Su Ping’s whining was not the most vexing to her. She was pissed about letting a lowlife escape!

If any member of the god race knew about this, she would feel too ashamed to show her face.

She didn’t know that her strength would be diminished outside the scope of the store. Or else, she would have finished that human being when she used her skills at such a close range!

She stopped arguing with Su Ping by saying, “Put up or shut up.” As such, Su Ping decided not to dwell on the subject any longer.

To vent his anger on her was of no use. That old man chose to run away after a few rounds of the fight. He must have had a full understanding of Joanna’s strength. It was certain that he wouldn’t bother Su Ping again, as long as he didn’t lose his mind.

After all, that old man had no idea that Joanna could only use her full strength within the bounds of the store.

Yuan Tianchen had to be wary of Su Ping at the moment because of the possibility that there were two legendary battle pet warriors in the store. One was Joanna and her presence indicated that there could be a mighty person supporting Su Ping in secret.

Su Ping believed that even if that old man returned to strike again, he would have the ability to protect his life. He had not used the ability to summon the dragon soul that the dragon king had given him yet.

After much deliberation, Su Ping concluded that he was still too vulnerable. If he was strong enough, he wouldn’t have to waste time thinking about any of this. He could just beat up all the invaders.

Su Ping collected himself. Staring at those titled battle pet warriors standing outside the store, scared into silence, he found himself filled with complicated feelings. Back at the Mysterious Realm, he was the one who had to look at those people in awe.

But at the moment, those lofty beings were shivering outside, like lambs that had been frightened by the chilly wind.

This had to be the charm of power!

Su Ping fixed his gaze on Venerable the Blade who had offered him a helping hand once. “Come on in,” Su Ping shouted. Then he said to Joanna, “Put away your killing intent now.”

Joanna was just thinking about unloading her anger onto those weaker humans. Su Ping’s words added fuel to her wrath. “Aren’t you going to have them killed? You know they didn’t come with good intentions, right?” Su Ping knew that Joanna was looking for an outlet to her fury. He tried to comfort her, “Be a good girl now. Do what I say. If you want to kill someone, I will find others for you to kill later on.”

“What are you talking about? I’m a god. Killing humans gets my hands dirty. As humans, you don’t stomp bugs on the ground to death for no reason at all, right? That would be disgusting!” Joanna taunted and that made her feel better. She stopped revealing her strength and the golden spear vanished in her hand.

Su Ping rolled her eyes. That was not the time to continue this bickering because those titled battle pet warriors had stepped into the store, still trembling.

Venerable the Blade was the only one that could manage to stay calm after a fashion. All the others looked awful. They couldn’t stop their hearts from pounding. They had always been in the upper class and they had worked many years to achieve it. They should have countless days ahead of them to enjoy. To perish right then and there would be pathetic and a tragedy.

Those titled battle pet warriors felt complicated after looking at the girl and the young man. Since when did they become afraid of the younger generation? Of course, they weren’t sure if the girl and the boy were actually from the younger generation since they were powerful enough to scare Yuan Tianchen away. Some people could use certain secret items to keep young looks or restore their youth.

“Venerable the Blade, I heard that you are proficient with saber play. I wonder if you can stay a bit and teach your skills to one of my pets,” Su Ping asked Venerable the Blade.

That wasn’t what Venerable the Blade had expected to hear from Su Ping. He said at once, “You flatter me. Brother Su, don’t call me Venerable the Blade. That is too much. Call me Leng Yingjun, my original name.”

Su Ping was surprised. Leng Yingjun? Leng as in the character that meant ‘cold’ and Yingjun that meant ‘handsome’?

He found it amusing that the noble Venerable the Blade’s family name was Leng and Yingjun his first name.

It was indeed an interesting name… What were his parents thinking?

“Teaching saber play… My skills are hard to master. I’m afraid that it will take a long time for your pet to learn if its power of understanding is only average. Of course, I’m not saying I don’t want to do it. I’m just saying it can take a long time. I hope you can accept that,” Venerable the Blade cautioned.

Su Ping said, “It’s okay. Do what you’ve got to do. If my pet cannot learn it, I will beat it.” Venerable the Blade was speechless. Beating? Could a pet’s power of understanding increase after a beating?

But he didn’t say another word. After all, Su Ping was more dangerous than Yuan Tianchen.

The other people were envious of Venerable the Blade for being able to stay behind to teach Su Ping’s pet. That was somewhat disgraceful but at least his life was ensured.

“Brother Su, I know archery. Any of your pets need this?” One of the old men proposed with a kind and soft smile on his face. He was a different person at the moment, compared to when he arrived with such grimness on his face.

“I have some unique techniques myself. I know healing skills. Brother Su, wherever you go in the world, you cannot do without healing skills. When you are out there in the wild and get hurt by beasts, you can lose your life without timely care. That is when healing skills can help,” another chubby old man suggested, smiling fatuously.
