Astral Pet Store (WN)

Did he just take to the sky and… fly away?

The fact that two people had soared up to the sky all of a sudden startled the people who were making way for that middle-aged couple.

The couple that was shouting and screaming to make people move out of their way stared at the two flying away in utter astonishment. They could have never anticipated that one of the two young people was a titled battle pet warrior…

And a second before, they were scolding the two young people for blocking their way. Wonderful.

The middle-aged couple turned ghastly pale, trembling nonstop. If this titled battle pet warrior had a short temper, he could have slapped them to death, and they wouldn’t even have a chance to seek help. In a base city, titled battle pet warriors enjoyed the ultimate power to decide life and death.

After Su Ping and Su Lingyue were far away, those present finally came back to their senses but remained in shock. They had seen a titled battle pet warrior in a branch venue. How intense the competition was at this year’s Elite League!

Su Ping carried Su Lingyue and went past the crowd as he soared.

Luckily for Su Lingyue, she was a fan of wearing jeans, and that was what she wore that day. Otherwise, she would have fallen victim to an embarrassing accident.

Along the way, more and more people noticed the two flying across. All of them were rendered speechless from the shock. They could rarely see titled battle pet warriors in their daily lives. When people did see titled battle pet warriors, they would usually be flying in the sky, which was as uncommon as seeing a civil aircraft flying.

In that day and age, technology had progressed by leaps and bounds. Still, civil aircrafts were few and far between. Most of the airplanes were fighter planes. The reason being, there were a large number of flying pets in the wild that could have easily taken down any aircraft.

When people wanted to travel to their base cities, they would either drive by themselves or take the subway.

Outside the subway tunnels, equipment to detect beasts of the stone family had been set up. A special sonic wave generating device was installed to repel the beasts. As such, the subway was usually safe.

Looking down on the densely crowded luxury cars and people, hearing the wind howling in her ears, Su Lingyue was amazed. For the first time in her life, she could enjoy the privilege unique to titled battle pet warriors and had a taste of the benefits that came with powers.

A yearning for power took shape in her.

Quickly, Su Ping had flown over the crowd and landed outside the venue where many people were packed like sardines. They were all waiting for their turn to register their names and enter.

Su Ping landed by a planter. Him flying down from above caught the attention of the surrounding people, creating quite a stir.

Those helping with the registration by the entrance saw that as well. One of those people called out in surprise. “Mr. Su!” She waved at Su Ping.

Su Ping looked over. Unexpectedly, he knew one of the workers there: Cheng Shuanglin from the Phoenix Peak Academy, Su Lingyue’s class adviser. What was she doing there? Su Ping took Su Lingyue and flew toward Cheng Shuanglin.

“Mrs. Cheng?” Su Ping asked, “You’re here, too?”

“The municipal committee needed more people to help keep order at the Elite League. I joined the municipal committee a long time ago, so the academy assigned me here,” Cheng Shuanglin said to Su Ping and Su Lingyue with a smile. She was aware that they were siblings. Cheng Shuanglin had at one time had some negative views about Su Ping. However, after witnessing what Su Ping had done when the Berserking Blade Academy went to challenge them, her negative opinion of him had turned into complete admiration.

Upon finding out that Su Lingyue was Su Ping’s sister, Cheng Shuanglin had been giving some extra attention to her.

Cheng Shuanglin’s answer cleared up Su Ping’s confusion.

It seemed that Cheng Shuanglin was half a civil servant which was a career path that most teachers would seek. They didn’t have to fight at the risk of their lives in the barren areas, and at the same time, they could receive retirement pay to lead a comfortable life.

“You must be here for the match. This way. You are more than entitled to go through this channel.” Cheng Shuanglin pointed at a corridor by the side to Su Ping. Fewer people were lining there, and guards were standing by the corridor.

“That is?” Su Ping was baffled.

“You can say that is a VIP corridor, specifically prepared for participants with a higher chance of winning or having strong connections. If the participant’s companions are advanced battle pet warriors, they can go in through there as well to save time,” Cheng Shuanglin explained.

Su Ping understood. In any place and at any time, the powerful would have special rights.

“Are both of you participating?” Cheng Shuanglin blurted out. She sized Su Ping up and down with curiosity. She had seen what Su Ping was capable of with her own eyes. If he were to participate, there was a big chance that he would win!

Su Ping shook his head. “No, I won’t be taking part. I’m only dropping this squirt off.”

Su Lingyue rolled her eyes at him. This squirt? I have a name, all right? Fine, he didn’t have to say her name, but she was his sister. He could have said that!

Cheng Shuanglin was surprised. “You are not?”

To her disappointment, Su Ping nodded as an answer. If Su Ping were to participate and win the championship, the Phoenix Peak Academy would have become more well-known as a result. She had graduated from the academy and was at the moment working at the academy. It was her ardent hope that the academy could benefit from its association with Su Ping and attain a higher rank amongst the famous schools.

“Mrs. Cheng, time for us to go.” Su Lingyue bid farewell and rescued Su Ping from this situation. She had tried to persuade Su Ping to participate many times and stopped trying after she saw how determined he was.

Cheng Shuanglin showed a polite smile, slightly embarrassed. “Of course. I will write your names down.”

“Okay.”

Su Lingyue nodded.

Su Ping rolled his eyes. Why was she never this obedient to him?

She could have faked it with him. At least, that would be pleasing to the eye.

Soon, Cheng Shuanglin finished registering them and showed Su Ping and Su Lingyue to the corridor on the side. She said goodbye to them soon and went back to her post.

Su Ping and Su Lingyue went ahead. Not long afterward, they reached the inside of the stadium, a place that seemed to be like the spectator area. The spectator seats were arranged in eight different zones, and there were eight corresponding corridors.

Su Ping was standing in one that said A1.

Su Ping looked around the venue. The other seating zones were full, while few people were sitting in the A1 zone he was at and the A2 zone.

How interesting. Even before the matches began, the participants had been divided into different levels at the registration.

Of course, the participants’ background was the only standard for the moment.

If people were to hire an advanced battle pet warrior to accompany them to go and register, they could have entered the A1 zone as well. It was just that most people would not go along with this pointless expenditure. Wherever people sat, they would have to go through actual battles that relied on their strength.

“Let’s go and find a place to sit down,” Su Ping said. He saw some drones flying above, and many banners of various media were hanging down from the drones which had to be set up for live streaming.
