Astral Pet Store (WN)

At the moment of impact, the seven Thunder Slashes carried by the Purple Shadow Fox’s tails were impaled into the burning flames covering the Inferno Dragon. The next second, the Purple Shadow Fox was knocked away, flying toward the edge of the stage.

The Purple Shadow Fox reached the edge of the stage, bumping into the transparent protective screen and falling down.

Fei Yanbo darted a quick look at the Inferno Dragon. It was standing firm; it had not moved one bit!

Fei Yanbo was scared.

How was that possible?!

How could the Inferno Dragon remain standing after being hit by the Lightning Cannon and the seven Thunder Slashes?

Right then, the Inferno Dragon roared and dashed toward the Purple Shadow Fox again as if none of the previous strikes had exerted any influence over it!

What happened stunned Dong Mingsong and the others. They couldn’t understand it.

They did admit that the Inferno Dragon was strong. But how could a pet that had barely reached adulthood fend off such ferocious attacks from the Purple Shadow Fox? The strangest thing was that it seemed as if the Inferno Dragon had seen through the Purple Shadow Fox’s moves from the very beginning and used the sonic wave and Thunder Flames to scare away the latter.

The Inferno Dragon was at the seventh rank. What enabled it to detect the Purple Shadow Fox’s actions?

Pets of the thunder family were known for their fast speed and it was even more true for the Purple Shadow Fox. The word “shadow” in its name indicated that the Purple Shadow Foxes were fast as the wind and only their shadows could be caught.

As a dragon, the Inferno Dragon had all-rounder skills. But the strongest of all was the hellish flames, not its speed!

On the stage, Fei Yanbo was stunned to see the Inferno Dragon unharmed. Soon, a trace of violence flashed past his face. He gave his command.

Roar!

Behind him, the Purple Shadow Fox quickly stood up again. Bolts of lightning and thunder were surging and the Purple Shadow Fox roared at the sky!

All-round Thunder Prison!!

Thick bolts of lightning were raging on the stage.

Dark clouds began to gather above the fighting area. The air was filled with electric arcs. After a short moment of preparation, the flashes of lightning and bolts of thunder smashed down and covered up the Inferno Dragon completely. The Inferno Dragon’s flames were also swallowed by the lightning and the blazing thunderbolts.

Such violent strikes of lightning shocked the audience. This was heart-wrenching for them.

“Ping…” When Su Lingyue saw this glaring lightning, the shock on her face had transformed into tension and worry without her knowing Su Ping raised his eyebrows as he stood behind the Inferno Dragon. The Purple Shadow Fox had built a Thunder Prison stronger than he had expected. The level of destruction exerted by the Thunder Prison was approaching the upper position of the eighth-rank.

This Purple Shadow Fox has some commendable abilities.

Su Ping nodded. This fox was an excellent one.

He then darted a glance at the Inferno Dragon that was bathing in the lightning and thunderbolts. He could sense that the Inferno Dragon was quite happy. On his mind, he said grumpily, “Quit fooling around. Do you think this is shower time?”

Next, the blazing white light over the Inferno Dragon was suddenly burst open.

Roar!

The Inferno Dragon stepped out and the hellish flames broke out again. Carrying strong murderous intent, the Inferno Dragon charged at the Purple Shadow Fox.

This sudden turn of events made the sneer freeze on Fei Yanbo’s lips. He stood there in shock, completely speechless.

The Inferno Dragon was still standing?

How could it come out uninjured again?

The All-round Thunder Prison had enough strength to inflict severe injuries on pets of the eighth-rank’s intermediate position, leaving those pets with skin cut open and flesh torn. How could this seventh-rank Inferno Dragon that had just reached adulthood come out of this completely safe and sound?

While he stood there in silence, Fei Yanbo noticed all of a sudden that before the hellish flames had burst out from the Inferno Dragon, a greyish shell was covering the red scales of the Inferno Dragon. Stone Armor?

This Stone Armor was kind of strange as well, with cracks all over it. It seemed like the Stone Armor had been broken by a severe blunt force. However, there was a green glow seeping out from the cracks.

That green… was the color of plants.

Fei Yanbo opened his eyes wide.

He had seen dragons using skills of the stone family but such skills were not something the dragons would excel at. Of all the elemental forces, dragon flames and the other inherent skills were the strongest skills for dragons. Most of them would focus on training their inherent skills in any case.

Considering how arrogant dragons were, it wasn’t likely that they would study other elements.

However, this Inferno Dragon had not only employed Stone Armor, but also a skill of the botanic family. Both skills could fend off thunder, which explained why the Inferno Dragon could withstand the Thunder Slashes and the Thunder Prison with the help of the two layers of protection and the Inferno Dragon’s scales!

No wonder the Inferno Dragon was unharmed!

Fei Yanbo finally understood; his face turned even paler.

Understanding the mechanism behind it was one thing. To solve the problem was an entirely different matter.

This shameless dragon was one that cravenly clung to life instead of braving death, using Stone Armor and skills of the botanic family to protect himself. Faced with such an enemy, the Purple Shadow Fox could not put its abilities into full play. All the skills of the thunder family were greatly undermined and the actual effects were limited.

Where was the famous draconic pride?

You’re a strong dragon to begin with. Now, you’re covering yourself with a Stone Armor. Can you even call yourself a dragon?

Fei Yanbo clenched his fists in anger. At the same time, he felt this fight was unfair.

Su Ping could tell from Fei Yanbo’s blue face that he had noticed the Stone Armor over the Inferno Dragon. The Stone Armor was a skill that the Inferno Dragon had picked up by itself after dying time and again. Dragons were arrogant… However, when they were facing stronger enemies and when they had to die many times over, even an Inferno Dragon would have to lower its head and learn defensive skills of the element family.

After all, nobody wanted to die, right?

This Inferno Dragon might not be so powerful in attacks, barely approaching the eighth rank. On the other hand, when it came to protection and defense… a pet below the ninth rank could not inflict any harm on the Inferno Dragon.

Fei Yanbo did not let his Purple Shadow Fox continue the energy attack. All of those strikes had only worked as a means to scratch an itch for the Inferno Dragon. The only way to defeat it was to rely on close-quarter combat.

Problem was, dragons were known for their tough skin and flesh. This idea frustrated Fei Yanbo.

Commanded by Fei Yanbo, while enraged, the Purple Shadow Fox had yet to lose its senses. Aside from the Thunder Prison and the Thunder Slash, the Purple Shadow Fox could rely on other skills such as Thunder Rush and Toxic Thunder Claw.

Whoosh!

The Purple Shadow Fox dashed around quickly. It resorted to Thunder Shadow Illusion again and split into two.

The two Purple Shadow Foxes charged toward the Inferno Dragon from two sides. The Purple Shadow Fox was fast to begin with. At that moment, it increased its speed again. It was because of the Thunder Rush!

The moment the Thunder Rush was released, the two Purple Shadows were moving so fast that they flew past quickly.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Purple Shadow Fox was over 10 meters long, the students wouldn’t have been able to see it moving at all!

The two Purple Shadow Foxes reached the Inferno Dragon in an instant!

The two Purple Shadow Foxes flanked the Inferno Dragon and attacked its wings with sharp claws surrounded by purple air.

Bang!

The wings were torn apart! The violent force contained on the sharp claws was spread further and the entire Inferno Dragon was shredded into pieces.

However… there was no blood coming out. Was it an illusion?

No, it was a mirror image! An advanced skill of the water family, Mirror Image!

Fei Yanbo, along with Dong Mingsong and the rest of the audience, were completely astonished.

Since when could an Inferno Dragon use skills of the water family?

Not to mention the fact that this was an advanced skill. How much effort would the Inferno Dragon have to exert to learn this water skill?!

Bang!

The stage shook. All of a sudden, a huge pile of earth rose from the ground. The ground cracked and flames burst out into the open. The Inferno Dragon came out from underground and punched with its claw.

The claw was covered with concentrated flames; it landed on the Purple Shadow Fox’s left side. That slim and thin Purple Shadow Fox trembled like a willow twig and then it was knocked onto the ground.

The purple hair that came into contact with the dragon’s claw was burning up. The flames were spreading Roar!

The Inferno Dragon dashed out quickly.

It flapped its wings, which increased its speed. Electric arcs were glistening around its feet. The Inferno Dragon was using Thunder Rush as well! The Inferno Dragon was as fast as an eighth-rank pet since it was exerting all its strength. The Inferno Dragon had arrived before the Purple Shadow Fox could crawl up; it grabbed the Purple Shadow Fox by its limbs and flapped its wings, soaring up into the sky.

This was a skill unique to dragons, Whirlwind!

The Inferno Dragon flew up rapidly. Within less than one second, the Inferno Dragon, rushing like a rocket, had reached the highest point of the protective screen above the stage!

In the next second, the Inferno Dragon turned around and dived down!

“No!”

Fei Yanbo was frightened. He quickly sent a message to the Purple Shadow Fox, ordering for it to wrest itself free. At the same time, Fei Yanbo leveraged his astral powers. He couldn’t fly but he unleashed many blades of astral power.

However, his strength was limited, inferior to that of the Purple Shadow Fox. How could his attack make any difference when not even the Purple Shadow Fox could inflict any harm on the Inferno Dragon?

Since his strikes were useless, Fei Yanbo built many astral power protective screens on the ground.

He had not built many layers when the Inferno Dragon dropped the Purple Shadow Fox at a height of over fifty meters above the ground. Afterward, the Inferno Dragon made a turn and flew up again.

Boom!!

The Purple Shadow Fox was smashed into the ground.

The huge impact shook the entire stadium like an earthquake. Some walls even began to crack! When the dust settled, Fei Yanbo looked around. He saw a huge pit on the ground where his Purple Shadow Fox was in. It had passed out.

Fei Yanbo jumped into the pit at once to check the Purple Shadow Fox. He felt he could breathe when he was sure that the Purple Shadow Fox wasn’t injured as seriously as he had imagined

His protective screens were of some use after all. Also, the second before the Purple Shadow Fox smashed into the ground, it escaped from the Inferno Dragon’s grasp. So, the Purple Shadow Fox was able to unleash a Lightning Cannon and a Tail Whip toward the ground; the recoil force slowed it down, neutralizing some of the force accumulated as it fell from up high.

That being said, given the sheer impact, the Purple Shadow Fox was knocked out nonetheless.

Fei Yanbo was happy that the Purple Shadow Fox was not in fatal danger, but the feeling was quickly substituted by fury. He had lost to a seventh rank pet!

This Inferno Dragon was of the best kind amongst dragons. However, it had just reached adulthood, just like his student Luo Fengtian’s Black Pit Dragon.

Before the battle, Fei Yanbo thought he could teach Su Ping and his Inferno Dragon a lesson with Luo Fengtian’s Black Pit Dragon. He believed that with the help of his blood-thirst augmentation skill, he could make the Black Pit Dragon ignore the pressure from a more advanced dragon. His original plan made him think it would be a piece of cake to defeat the Inferno Dragon using the Black Pit Dragon alone!

The fact was, he had lost to the Inferno Dragon even with his Purple Shadow Fox!

This Inferno Dragon had not only overwhelmed Luo Fengtian but his pet as well!

Fei Yanbo was fuming with anger at the thought of how despicable this Inferno Dragon was. What kind of dragon would use Stone Amor? What kind of dragon would cling to life so tightly? Did this Inferno Dragon deserve to be named a dragon?!!

The Inferno Dragon landed while Fei Yanbo was still fuming. The ground trembled a bit. The Inferno Dragon stood in front of Su Ping, bellowing at Fei Yanbo as a display of strength, and then turned around to Su Ping and hummed, fawning on Su Ping.

Fei Yanbo was filled with wrath as he witnessed this.

At this moment, the audience had gradually returned to their senses. The battles were over and the Inferno Dragon had won. It defeated an eighth-rank Purple Shadow Fox easily, without Su Ping using any augmentation skills!

How strong was the Inferno Dragon?

Was it true that it had just reached adulthood?!

If it weren’t for the size of the Inferno Dragon which couldn’t be altered, people would think this was an eighth rank pet.

Dong Mingsong, Luo Guxue, and the others looked at each other. While stunned, they felt relieved as well. They were happy that Su Ping was able to win. They were worried that Su Ping would be prey to arrogance, making the careless decision of forgoing the use of augmentation skills. Luckily, the Inferno Dragon had proven its might, maybe to an excessive degree. It could withstand that Thunder Prison. The Inferno Dragon was practically immune to energy attacks.

ex

The average Inferno Dragons couldn’t have done this.

Dong Mingsong was well aware of that great master behind Su Ping. Of course, they would train this Inferno Dragon well. Sure enough, such an unusual training made this Inferno Dragon superior to other Inferno Dragons.

Luo Fengtian and the other students with him were stunned speechless. They never thought that Fei Yanbo would also be helpless against this Inferno Dragon, which was at the same rank as the Dark Pit Dragon!

After a short moment of silence, a loud cheer burst out in the stadium!

That was a cheer of genuine happiness!

It was as if the students could finally vent their feelings after a long time of oppression!

Ever since the matches began, they had never had the chance to chant or cheer. Their side had been losing all this time, which made them feel depressed. But now, they had won!

Su Ping won!

He defeated a teacher from the Berserking Blade Academy!

The sense of defeat, loss and sadness was wiped out. Many people felt a lump in their throats.

Cheers and applause filled the entire stadium.

Zhou Yunchan and Luo Fengtian pulled long faces.

Like some grains of sand washed up to the edge of the shore by the surging waves, they felt they didn’t belong there, a place filled with cheers and applause. They felt a bit dejected.

Ye Hao’s eyes reddened with tears as he heard those cheers. The honor of the academy had been protected.

It wasn’t thanks to him but this didn’t make him any less excited.

Ye Hao made up his mind; he would pay a visit to Su Ping’s store as he looked at that formidable Inferno Dragon and Su Ping, whose appearance seemed insignificant compared to the Inferno Dragon.

On the stage, while hearing those rounds of applause, Fei Yanbo felt it was as if many people were slapping his cheeks. His face was clouded.

Biting his teeth in anger, he called the Purple Shadow Fox back to the pet space. A glint of viciousness flashed past his eyes. “This isn’t over yet. I just didn’t want to bully the weak. This is just my secondary pet!”

With that said, Fei Yanbo opened up the pet space again.

An extremely cold and terrifying aura radiated from the inside, and the cheering voices in the entire stadium cooled down quickly.

Admin – Lol now our MC will also bring out his main pet
