Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 139 A Collective Defeat? (Bonus Chapter 3)

Thinking of Su Ping's question, the boy respectfully said, "Instructor Su, there was a pet battle exchange competition in the academy today, against Jianlan Academy, but it has already ended. However, there are several more matches tomorrow, and they will be the grand finale."

Ye Hao, the third-year champion from our college, will also be making an appearance. If Instructor Su is interested, you can go and watch him tomorrow.

Su Ping thought to himself that it was indeed a pet battle competition, but he was a little surprised to hear that it was over. If it was over, why hadn't anyone come to the store yet?

"Nothing else?" Su Ping asked.

"That's all."

Su Ping frowned slightly, and seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, he let him leave.

Around 8 or 9 p.m., many students arrived and took away all the pets they had bred, freeing up a lot of space for breeding. Some chose to continue breeding, while others left with their pets to go back and raise money.

After 10 o'clock, very few people came to the door.

Su Ping waited until around 10:30, but there were still not many customers. He then added a new batch of pets to his shadow clone, closed the shop, and returned home.

When she got home, Su Lingyue found that she was alone in the living room; her mother was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Mom?"

"You came back too late, Mom couldn't stay awake any longer, so I told her to go to sleep first."

When Su Lingyue saw Su Ping return, she stopped cultivating, glanced at him, and said, "The food is in the kitchen. Just put it in the microwave and cook it yourself."

Su Ping nodded and went to wash his hands and heat up the food.

There was quite a bit of food left over today. After he heated it up and sat down at the table, Su Lingyue also came over with her water glass and sat down casually.

"Is your Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast still around?" Su Lingyue asked.

Su Ping glanced at her. "What, you want to see?"

Su Lingyue was initially very interested, but Su Ping's question annoyed her, and she said arrogantly, "What's so interesting about it? I don't care. It's just the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast. I've seen pictures of it online before."

Su Ping slightly pursed his lips, but did not refute.

"Did you know there's a pet battle competition at the academy today?" Su Lingyue asked Su Ping, her eyes darting around.

Su Ping hummed in agreement and continued eating.

"I'm going to fight tomorrow afternoon, do you want to come and watch?" Su Lingyue asked casually.

Su Ping was taken aback and asked curiously, "Aren't you a first-year student?"

Su Lingyue raised an eyebrow, "So what if I'm a first-year student? I'm the champion!"

"Oh, so that's considered a coaching match?"

"...It's an exchange match, a battle! What do you mean by 'guide'?!"

"oh."

Su Lingyue snorted heavily and turned to go upstairs.

Su Ping suddenly remembered something and called out, "Wait!"

"What?" Su Lingyue turned her head fiercely.

Su Ping ignored her attitude and beckoned, "Come here."

Su Lingyue frowned. Although she was somewhat annoyed by Su Ping's attitude, she still turned around and walked over reluctantly, saying without any politeness, "Spit it out."

"Can't you be a little more obedient?"

Su Ping also had a headache with this younger sister, but he was too lazy to argue with her. With a thought, his star power surged, and the transparent 'Original Water Armor' covering his body gradually contracted, turning into a semi-transparent water ball.

Seeing this strange scene, Su Lingyue opened her eyes wide and asked, "What is this?"

"A protective suit," Su Ping said casually, handing the item to her. "You can borrow it for now; return it to me tomorrow."

He exchanged this Primal Water Armor with merit points during his last exploration. It can withstand physical and energy attacks below the eighth rank, making it a rather powerful defensive armor. It's just a pity that he spends all his time in the shop and hasn't been able to fully utilize its value.

"Is this a protective suit?" Su Lingyue was astonished. This semi-transparent water ball that was spinning around was actually a protective suit?

However, she had indeed seen this thing before, which was formed from the contraction and condensation of Su Ping's entire body.

"Where did you get this?" Su Lingyue couldn't help but ask curiously.

Su Ping said irritably, "Why so many questions? If you don't need it, just give it to me."

Su Lingyue ignored Su Ping's attitude; the siblings were used to each other's harsh words. She smiled and said, "Since you're so sincere in lending it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it!"

"I'll only borrow it for one day," Su Ping said calmly.

"Hmph, who cares?"

Despite saying that, Su Lingyue didn't return it to Su Ping directly. This thing was too amazing; she had never seen anything like it before and wanted to study it carefully.

"How do I use this?" Su Lingyue looked at it over and over for a while, but still didn't understand. In the end, she proudly asked Su Ping.

Su Ping glanced at her and explained how to use it to her.

Upon hearing this, Su Lingyue immediately tried to fuse it with her star power. Soon, the rotating, translucent primordial water armor transformed into liquid, flowing down her fingers into her sleeves and covering her entire body.

It was a little cold at first, but Su Lingyue's own body temperature quickly warmed the thin, ice-like primordial water armor.

Su Lingyue shivered, then was surprised to find that this thing was extremely light. It covered her whole body, but she didn't feel stuffy at all. It was very breathable, just like her own skin. If she didn't consciously try to feel it, she would quickly forget that it was there.

Su Ping felt relieved when he saw her put it on. He had beaten up those students from other schools today, but the exchange battle still went ahead as planned. He was worried that they would vent their anger on other students, so he temporarily lent her his original water armor.

"Alright, go to sleep."

After finishing his meal, Su Ping got up and went upstairs on his own.

Su Lingyue was still experiencing the magic of the item when she heard Su Ping's words. She was stunned and wanted to ask him why he lent her the item, but she stopped herself from asking.

……

……

The next day, Su Ping and Su Lingyue had breakfast and, as usual, parted ways without saying much to each other.

Upon arriving at the store, Su Ping saw several students waiting at the door and went to open the door.

Several of Fengshan students' regular customers came to claim their pets. Seeing the amazing changes in their pets, they thanked Su Ping repeatedly and then hurriedly took a car to the academy.

Tang Lang, who was last in line, stepped forward and looked at Su Ping with a puzzled expression, asking, "Boss, why are they calling you Instructor Su? Are you an instructor?"

Su Ping hummed in agreement and asked, "Are we still training the Winged King Beasts today?"

Tang Lang nodded, looking at Su Ping in surprise. "You're my mentor? How is that possible? You're about my age, aren't you?"

Su Ping glanced at him and said irritably, "What kind of eyes do you have? Do you think I'm the youngest? I'm an eighteen-year-old fresh meat."

Tang Lang was stunned and almost vomited blood. He was only twenty-one years old. Was this considered old?

However, the age Su Ping mentioned surprised him somewhat. Only eighteen years old? Looking at Su Ping, he indeed looked very young, and the contours of his face seemed not to have fully developed yet.

"Hehe." Tang Lang chuckled dryly.

Su Ping: "Give me the money, 100,000."

Tang Lang's face twitched, but he still readily paid Su Ping. After Su Ping's training, his Winged King Beast was almost as strong as his strongest pet beast, so it was definitely worth the money.

Considering the booming business of Su Ping's shop, he originally planned to bring the news of Su Ping's shop back to the academy, but later refrained from doing so.

It's better to enjoy happiness alone than to share it with others.

He wished he could keep Su Ping as his mistress and have her serve him exclusively.

He planned to wait until he had been trained by Su Ping to a certain level before reporting Su Ping's shop to their academy's instructors. By then, even if others found out and came to Su Ping's shop for training, it would be difficult for them to catch up with him.

After receiving the money, Su Ping and Tang Lang left, taking the Winged King Beast into the pet room and throwing it into the nurturing space. He then activated the nurturing of his Shadow Clone. He sat in the shop for a while longer, and after no more customers came in, he closed the door and went into the Dragon King's inheritance ground to continue his training.

Although Su Ping hadn't taken any Origin Force Pills during these days of training, his own Star Power was increasing rapidly, and he was on the verge of breaking through from the middle of the fourth rank to the upper of the fourth rank.

By noon, after Su Ping had eaten lunch, he saw that there was hardly any business in the shop. He thought about what Su Lingyue had said last night, as well as what Dong Mingsong had said, and sighed in his heart. It seemed that he would have no choice but to go and take a look along the way.

After closing the shop, he went to a discount supermarket on the street to buy some things, and then rode his bicycle to the college.

Half an hour later, Su Ping arrived at the college gate. The floor that had been trampled on yesterday had been repaired; prestigious schools are indeed swift in their actions.

Su Ping entered the academy and contacted Dong Mingsong via communicator, saying, "I've arrived at the academy. Where are they?"

It was noisy on the other end of the communicator, and Dong Mingsong's voice became louder and deeper, his tone a little unpleasant, as he said, "We're in the first battle arena. Come straight over; it's the finals right now."

"finals?"

Su Ping was stunned. The finals were already here?

Didn't Su Lingyue say she was going to compete this afternoon? It's already the finals, why is she still participating?

Or has she already competed?

Filled with doubt, Su Ping sped up on his bicycle and headed there.

Now that he was familiar with the area, Su Ping quickly found the first combat arena.

The First Battle Hall is the largest building, resembling a giant stadium that can hold 100,000 people.

When Su Ping arrived at the battle arena, he found that the once bustling arena seemed rather quiet.

The last time he came here to watch the exhibition match, he could hear cheers from afar, but now there were no cheers, only the faint sounds of fighting.

Su Ping locked the bicycle and quickly went inside.

The guards at the gate saw Su Ping and immediately let him through, not daring to stop him.

Upon entering the venue, Su Ping saw that it was packed with people, almost completely full.

However, the atmosphere inside the stadium was somewhat somber, with little cheering.

Su Ping looked down at the battle arena below the audience seats and saw the ferocious Dark Nether Dragon flapping its wings, its claws stomping on the neck of another dragon beast, emitting a menacing roar.

The dragon beast being trampled on was Ye Hao's Silver Serpent Thunder Dragon Beast.

Su Ping didn't expect it to be the final, and judging from the situation, even Ye Hao, the last player to perform, had already been defeated.

He wasn't surprised by Ye Hao's defeat. After all, the Dark Nether Black Dragon was not only of a higher level, but its dragon rank was also higher than Ye Hao's Silver Serpent Thunder Dragon. It was a complete crushing defeat in every aspect!

"Hey, has Su Lingyue's competition started yet?" Su Ping asked, pulling a boy next to him.

The boy's mind was entirely on the stage. He glanced at Su Ping casually before returning his gaze to the battle arena. His voice was filled with indignation as he said, "Su's match ended a long time ago, and everyone else's are over too, damn it!"

Su Ping paused for a moment, then asked, "So, did you win or lose?"

"Win?" The boy turned to look at him, angrily saying, "How can we win? We lost everything! Jianlan Academy is too ruthless!"

After he finished venting his anger on Su Ping, he suddenly realized that Su Ping looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Su Ping was stunned. He hadn't expected it to be over, and that he had lost.

He patted the boy on the shoulder, said nothing more, glanced at the stands ahead, and quickly found Su Lingyue's class, but among the many figures in that class, he did not see Su Lingyue.

He paused for a moment, thinking that with the protection of the Primal Water Armor, he should be fine.

However, he was still worried and rushed over.
