Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 116 Advancement to the Fourth Tier

Wait until the day passes.

Su Ping was a little tired. He led the four little ones back from the Dragon Scale Land and returned to the shop.

Only an hour has passed outside.

Apart from the little skeleton, which still has that cool, dazed look, the other three little guys have changed quite a bit compared to before.

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast grew the fastest, its body growing taller to over ten centimeters.

Although it is still in its infancy and only has the strength of the third tier, it already has the beginnings of dragon might. When it fought against a fourth-tier rock-type pet in the Dragon Scale Land, it comprehended the Dragon Roar, which frightened the rock-type monster so much that it fled.

Its throat is not yet fully developed, but its roar is incredibly intimidating. However, it cannot be used repeatedly as it puts too much strain on its throat.

The other dog, the Moon Chaser, this silly dog, also brought Su Ping some comfort.

Having experienced the awe-inspiring power of the dragon within the dragon pillar, the Moon Chaser Dog became significantly bolder when facing ordinary demonic beasts, even bordering on ferocious.

In later battles, when encountering fourth- or fifth-tier monsters, they would mindlessly charge in and just fight!

It seemed to want to vent all the humiliation and frustration it had felt inside the dragon pillar, and it turned into a mad dog.

The result of mindless action is that one dies hundreds of times, resulting in the most deaths.

However, it also learned two new skills, which, although they were only intermediate-level pet skills, were still quite a good achievement.

The other purple-blue python also fought very hard, its combat power breaking through from the first rank to the second rank, growing rapidly. The purple-blue spots on its scales also spread more widely, almost covering the entire snake scales, and it will soon enter its growth period.

After Su Ping came out, he did not go back into the cultivation area.

First, I'm a little tired.

Secondly, we should give these little ones some time to process this properly.

Also.

Su Ping plans not to bring Little Skeleton next time.

The little skeleton's growth inside was very limited. Although there were high-level demonic beasts in this Dragon Scale Land, they were only a minority.

Even if you kill the opponent, the increase in combat experience against the little skeleton is only slight.

After placing the little ones into their foster care spaces, Su Ping opened the door to welcome the guests.

While waiting for customers to come in, Su Ping was also cultivating his Chaotic Star Power Diagram, managing to do both at the same time.

Business was slow in the afternoon. A few students came by, but they had all secretly taken leave or skipped class to sneak out of the academy.

They learned gossip about Su Ping, the senior tutor, from their classmates. They also learned that Su Ping ran a pet shop, and that the famous Thunder Rat that caused a sensation in the academy was bred from Su Ping's shop.

Upon hearing this news, several students could no longer contain themselves. They skipped classes, pretending to have stomach aches or their periods, and sneaked out of the academy to Su Ping's shop.

Regardless of whether the news about breeding Thunder Rats is true or false, they came to Su Ping not only to breed pets, but also to get closer to this new advanced instructor and try to get into his classes in the future.

Advanced mentors give lectures infrequently, and each time the class is packed. Take Qin Yuanfeng, the former leader of the four mentors, for example; his lectures are always full, and students have to queue up several hours in advance.

In fact, one has to pay a high price to cut in line.

This also became a way for many ordinary students to earn their living expenses by reserving seats for others.

Seeing Su Ping indeed sitting in the shop, the students were overjoyed, knowing they hadn't come to the wrong place and that the information they had received was mostly true.

Seeing the students' enthusiastic attitude, Su Ping also experienced the benefits of being a senior mentor.

It seems that agreeing to Dong Mingsong's request back then was definitely a good decision.

Having extracted hundreds of thousands of coins from several students and converted them into several thousand units of energy, Su Ping's energy reserves were approaching ten thousand units again.

However, the Spiritual Pool has already been upgraded to level three.

It costs one million to go from level three to level four!

A full 100-fold leap!

When you go from level six to level seven, it will also be a million-dollar jump.

Ten thousand energy points isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either. In the past, it would have been more than enough for Su Ping, but now it can only be used to upgrade fostering slots or to buy items from the system shop.

With energy still seven or eight hundred short of ten thousand, Su Ping couldn't buy any more Origin Force Pills and could only continue waiting for the lamb... The customer arrived.

In the evening, several more students arrived.

Su Ping's energy finally accumulated to over ten thousand, and without hesitation, he directly purchased a mid-level Origin Force Pill.

Previously, his Star Power level was Tier 3, but due to the Chaos Star Power Chart, his training these past few days has brought him to a combat power of 3.9, just one step away from breaking through to Tier 4.

However, making that final push is extremely difficult.

Although the difference between 3.9 and 4 points is only 0.1 combat power, cultivating that 0.1 combat power in this area is extremely difficult.

Su Ping knew that the transition from the third to the fourth tier was a bottleneck, and the transition from the sixth to the seventh tier was another major bottleneck.

The most difficult breakthrough is the transition from a top-tier ninth-order beast to a king-level beast.

There are many top-tier monsters on Earth, but king-level monsters are rare. The same is true for many titled battle pet masters. Some reach the ninth-tier title level in their thirties, but remain at that level even in their eighties.

Breaking through to the ninth rank and becoming a king-level beast requires a stroke of luck.

Breaking through the major bottleneck within the ninth rank requires a bit of luck, but more importantly, it requires accumulation and hard work.

Without the Origin Force Pill, Su Ping estimated that he would need to cultivate for about half a month before he could break through, but now, after swallowing a single pill, he directly advanced.

After taking the Yuanli Pill, Su Ping felt as if all his bones were opening up, crackling and popping. The cells in his body were undergoing transformation, their internal structures becoming more complex, and the space within the cell nucleus becoming more expansive.

Su Ping's original small star vortex, after receiving the immense energy from the Origin Force Pill, instantly grew into a large star vortex.

Inside each cell is a giant stellar spiral, whose spiral arms sweep across the boundary of the cell space. The pulling force brought by the giant stellar spiral is more than ten times stronger than before!

Su Ping felt that if he cultivated with all his might, he could draw upon the stellar energy within a radius of thousands of meters around him. In other words, the cultivation of others within a thousand meters of his body would be greatly reduced.

The closer the distance, the worse the cultivation effect.

Furthermore, within a thirty-meter radius of him, no one will be able to plunder even a fraction of the star power in the void, making cultivation impossible.

"This Chaos Star Power Chart is too domineering!"

Su Ping once again felt the brutality of this cultivation technique.

After taking the Force Pill and breaking through, Su Ping's combat power increased from 3.9 to 4.5, advancing him to the middle of the fourth tier!

In addition to increased combat power, the effect of the Star Power enhancement also made Su Ping's cultivation of basic amplification skills faster than before, and all four amplification skills have entered the third stage.

This level of skill enhancement is comparable to that of a typical, outstanding student.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ping left the shop and went home. Before going home, he did what he always did: selected a batch of pet beasts and used his shadow clones to continue breeding them.

……

When we got home...

Su Ping saw his mother and Su Lingyue sitting in the living room watching TV, and the situation seemed to be the same as usual.

Su Ping had made preparations when he went to the academy to teach today, but judging from the current situation, Su Lingyue reacted as usual, as if she did not know that he had been to the academy.

Surprised, Su Ping thought it was a good thing, saving him the trouble of explaining.

"I'm back."

When Li Qingru saw Su Ping return home, she turned her gaze away from the television, but since she was currently engrossed in an exciting plot, she said, "You start cooking first, I'll heat up the dishes for you later."

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry." Su Ping took off her clothes and went to wash her hands.

After washing her hands, Li Qingru sat down and watched with her mother for a while. Not long after, she had sex, and Li Qingru took the opportunity to heat up the dishes for Su Ping.

Only Su Ping and Su Lingyue remained on the sofa.

Su Ping glanced at the other person casually, and suddenly noticed that the other person was also looking at him, with an unusual look in their eyes.

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized that this guy definitely knew about his trip to the academy, but was just pretending not to know.

Su Lingyue's heart skipped a beat when Su Ping stared at her, and she felt her face burning. However, she still pretended to be calm and looked away, though her eyes lingered on him out of the corner of her eye.

Thinking about what happened at the academy during the day, she still felt like she was in a dream.

Is this despicable guy really the same person as that guy who was so calm and composed in front of thousands of students?

She finds it difficult to combine the two.

However, Su Ping's clothes were just as sloppy as the clothes he wore when he was teaching during the day.

Couldn't this guy at least change into a formal suit before going to teach a class?!

Su Ping naturally had no idea what this guy was thinking, and ignored him. Anyway, it was good that the other party knew. If he knew better in the future, he would probably cause him less trouble at home, and he was happy to relax.

As for an explanation?

Su Ping didn't even think about how to explain it to the other party, because there was no need.

I've gotten stronger, so what can you do about it?

Not convinced?

I'll beat you up!

The food was heated up quickly.

The fragrant, spicy aroma wafts through the air, a flavor Su Ping loves.

He ignored Su Lingyue and turned to sit at the table.

The food today tasted freshly made, and there was a lot of leftover from each dish.

Surprised, Su Ping glanced at the figure still watching TV on the sofa and thought to himself that the person was quite sensible.

The amount of food left over also proves that Su Lingyue knew about his teaching at the academy.

However, judging from my mother's expression, she didn't ask about it. It seemed that the other party hadn't told my mother. Otherwise, the first thing I would have done after returning would have been to explain it to my mother.

If Li Qingru were to actually ask, Su Ping would have already prepared his answer.

He could easily find a thousand reasons to rise to prominence if he simply put himself in the shoes of a slacker novel, and he wasn't worried at all.

After finishing his meal, Su Ping wiped his mouth and said, "Not bad."

Whether these words are praising the food or the person who left it, it's obvious to whoever hears them.

To Li Qingru, it was naturally assumed that Su Ping was saying the food was well-cooked.

She smiled and said, "Today's dishes are all your favorites. Your sister also saved a lot for you. Soon, your sister will be on winter break. I heard that she has gained the appreciation of a senior professor in the academy and will be training in the wasteland during the winter break. She will also be participating in the elite league."

At home, she acted as a go-between, knowing that Su Ping and Su Lingyue ignored each other, so she would often talk to them about the other person.

As she spoke, her face beamed with an unstoppable smile, filled with pride and joy for Su Lingyue.

She was overjoyed all night after learning these things from Su Lingyue.

Upon hearing Li Qingru's words, Su Lingyue would normally raise her chin slightly, like a proud little swan, looking down at Su Ping and showing off in front of him. Putting Su Ping down was her source of joy.

But now, her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she said shyly, "Mom~!"

She secretly glanced at Su Ping, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Su Ping's expression was normal.

If Su Ping showed a strange, amused expression, she would want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Li Qingru didn't think much of it and laughed, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything. I'll tell you when you achieve a ranking in the Elite League. I'll also let Aunt Li next door hear, so she won't keep telling me about her son who became a manager at a big company."

Su Lingyue blushed slightly. When she heard Su Ping mention the Elite League, she suddenly had a thought and couldn't help but glance at him.
