Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 282 Su Ping's Admonition

With a loud bang!

On the field, the enraged Phantom Flame Beast unleashed a burst of flames, sending one of the youths flying.

The young man's chest was burned beyond recognition, and he was barely breathing. He lay on the ground, on the verge of death. Just then, some phantom butterflies and bees flew by. Smelling the bloody scent, they were stimulated and attracted, and immediately pounced on the young man, wielding several wind blades.

With a few snapping sounds, the young man was powerless to resist. His neck was severed and his body was slashed, and he died on the spot!

The other two youths were terrified when they saw this and quickly turned and ran away.

Just as the Phantom Flame Beast was about to give chase, it suddenly received a mental summons. It froze for a moment, and then the crimson and ferocious color in its eyes quickly faded. It opened its clear black and white eyes and turned its head to look. When it saw the girl stand up again, its eyes welled up with tears.

Meow!

It almost pounced, its body rapidly shrinking, and crashed headfirst into the girl's arms.

Su Lingyue reached out and hugged it, feeling the excitement, unease, and fear emanating from its consciousness. She was inexplicably moved; this was the bond between pets, the only reliable partner in battle.

She hugged it and gently kissed its fur, completely ignoring the bloodstains and dirt on it.

When she heard the buzzing sound, she looked up again and saw that the two young men who had fled in panic had disappeared into the crowd. Her gaze fell on the headless corpse on the ground, and her expression changed slightly. Although the latter was killed by the Phantom Butterfly Bee, it was mainly because of her that it was her fault. In other words, she had indirectly killed him.

Although she had been tempered in the wilderness and witnessed blood and tears, seeing a life lost because of her still left her with an indescribable feeling.

"He only has himself to blame." She comforted herself inwardly, then turned her gaze to the countdown on the large screen outside the barrier. When she saw that there was not much time left, she couldn't afford to think about it anymore and quickly instructed the Phantom Flame Beast to capture the Phantom Butterfly Bee.

Meow!

The Phantom Flame Beast obediently acted spoiled, then turned around, flapped its short wings, and flew towards the Phantom Butterfly Bees that were fluttering wildly in mid-air.

As Su Lingyue watched it catch the phantom butterflies, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She reached back and touched it, only to realize that she had just been ambushed and that her clothes on the back had been torn.

Thinking of that sneak attack, a chill ran down her spine. She couldn't help but glance at the waiting area. If she hadn't borrowed his original water armor, perhaps she would be the one lying on the ground right now...

For the first time, she truly realized how cheap human life was; these people wanted her dead!

……

As the countdown ended, the barrier opened, and the medical team composed of Daicaohua quickly entered the arena, carrying out the contestants who could still be treated. Meanwhile, the staff in charge of the arena stepped forward to verify the names of those who had obtained their qualification certificates.

Without a doubt, Su Lingyue advanced successfully.

She followed Su Ping's advice and only took one certificate of selection.

Looking at her tattered clothes, the staff asked her if she wanted to receive treatment. Su Lingyue shook her head and thanked them with a smile.

After her identity was entered into the qualifying round, Su Lingyue followed the other selected contestants back to the waiting area through the passage.

"Miss Su truly lives up to her reputation as Professor Su's sister!"

As soon as Su Lingyue returned, Fei Yanbo praised her with a smile, which could be considered a small act of flattery, but the specific person he was flattering was naturally the one next to him.

Seeing their teacher take the lead, the other students quickly followed suit with smiles and compliments. However, one of the students who had defeated Su Lingyue in the inter-academy exchange battle felt somewhat awkward. After all, he had easily defeated this young girl back then, and now praising her seemed a bit insincere...

However, Su Lingyue's Phantom Flame Beast's performance in this match was truly impressive, not inferior to their pets at all. It was a case of "a scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation," and he humbly offered a few words of praise.

Luo Fengtian glanced at him briefly, his expression as calm as ever, and remained silent.

The girl with the ponytail sitting next to him was looking at the girl with great interest. Judging from Su Lingyue's age, she was obviously two years younger than him, but the power that the Phantom Flame Beast displayed when it was enraged was close to that of a seventh-tier battle pet.

To be able to control such a pet beast at the fourth level is quite impressive.

Su Lingyue smiled and thanked everyone for their praise. When she turned her gaze to Su Ping, she found that Su Ping was expressionless, without a trace of a smile on his face. Instead, he seemed cold and displeased. Based on her years of getting along with Su Ping, she immediately sensed that Su Ping's emotions were directed at her.

Thinking of the sneak attack on her back, she bit her lip slightly, slowly sat down next to Su Ping, and said, "Thank you for the battle suit..."

Su Ping said coldly, "Why weren't they all killed?"

"Huh?" Su Lingyue was taken aback, not expecting that Su Ping was concerned about this.

Fei Yanbo and the other students standing nearby were slightly taken aback, their smiles instantly fading as they realized Su Ping was angry. They all knew the reason for this, and it was no longer appropriate for them to continue praising the girl.

"This..." Su Lingyue was a little unsure how to explain, and she hadn't expected that this would make Su Ping angry.

She pondered her thoughts, feeling a pang of reluctance. The thought of being ambushed filled her with anger, but the urge to kill in a fit of rage was still difficult to bring herself to do it. Deep down, she felt it wasn't quite right…

"Without this battle suit, you'd be the one dead."

Su Ping's face, unusually devoid of his usual joking demeanor, fixed on her with a cold gaze. He said, "If you were dead, who would seek justice for you? It's wrong to intentionally harm others, but to condone others harming you is even more deserving of death! You didn't die because you were lucky, but such luck won't come twice!"

Su Lingyue felt a little embarrassed and angry after being reprimanded in public. She was about to look up and argue with Su Ping, but when she looked up, she saw Su Ping's cold eyes, and the words she was about to say suddenly stopped.

She paused slightly.

For the first time, she realized that this unreliable guy actually had such a sharp and terrifying gaze!

That gaze was as sharp as someone who had killed and drunk blood!

They were even colder and sharper than the old pioneers and veterans she had met in the wasteland!

How could this be...?

She was somewhat bewildered. In her memory, although Su Ping had become stronger, he spent most of his time in the shop, being lazy and irresponsible all day long, without any demeanor of a strong person. But at this moment, she realized that this was not the case.

He seems... to have never been serious.

Su Ping glanced at her coldly, then looked away, the sharpness in his eyes fading instantly, replaced by an utterly calm indifference. He said, "The people who attacked you are most likely competitors of the shop. Their target isn't just you, but me too. If you die in this preliminary round, the shop's reputation will plummet, and they'll seize the opportunity to attack. If I'm only as weak as they imagine, they'll wipe us all out. After us, it'll be Mom, and Dad, everyone!"

He spoke casually, seemingly completely calm.

Su Lingyue was stunned.

Her expression changed repeatedly. She hadn't thought about it that deeply before; it was just a momentary instinct to feel sorry for her.

But now, after hearing what Su Ping said, she realized how foolish she had been to be so soft-hearted before!

This is tantamount to harming Su Ping and her own family!

She bit her lip slightly; violating her family was something she could never forgive.

"I know I was wrong..."

She lowered her head and bit her lip, speaking not only to Su Ping but also to her innermost self.

Su Ping glanced at her, the coldness in his eyes fading. He thought to himself that he really had to push her a bit, otherwise, who knows how many stumbles she would have to endure before she matured and stepped out of the ivory tower into society.

Don't say that people's hearts are treacherous. Even a monster in the breeding grounds knows how to ambush, attack, and retaliate.

Su Ping had already learned his lesson and knew all too well that evil insects, though dead, do not die easily and must be utterly destroyed.

"Let's go, come with me and see who's behind them." Su Ping stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His previous words were not only a deliberate intimidation of Su Lingyue to help her grow, but also partly true.

If you're going to engage in business competition, then just engage in business competition properly.

If you want to compete in pet breeding, then let's have a pet breeding competition.

He can understand competition among peers; there's no right or wrong, it's all about profit.

However, since he didn't intend to compete through legitimate means, he wanted to see just how powerful these people really were!

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, Su Lingyue's eyes turned serious, and she immediately stood up, her mindset completely different from before.

Fei Yanbo, standing nearby, couldn't help but glance at Su Ping. He hadn't expected that this young man, besides his terrifying talent, was also so ruthless. He was practically a future tyrant.

The other students were somewhat terrified. They had a very deep impression of Su Ping, especially from the battle at the entrance of Fengshan Academy. The terrifying killing intent that this young man displayed was something they had never seen before in their lives.

This is absolutely a monster.

Those guys were really unlucky; they actually ambushed this guy's sister.

They silently mourned for the two who had escaped by sheer luck. At the same time, they were also puzzled and curious about the shop that Su Ping had mentioned. It seemed that a monster of this talent level had nothing to do with mundane things like shops. Weren't they usually people who cultivated behind closed doors?

"Instructor Su, I'll go with you to take a look too," Fei Yanbo said, standing up. He wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Su Ping, since his students had already finished the selection competition and there was nothing left to watch.

Su Ping did not refuse and let them go.

Following the passage, Su Ping led Su Lingyue ahead, heading towards the area below the arena.

Fei Yanbo stood up, and Luo Fengtian's eyes flashed. He said, "Teacher, I'll go too."

When the girl with the ponytail heard him say that, she also stood up and said, "Teacher Fei, I want to go too."

"Teacher, let's go too."

Fei Yanbo glanced at them, frowned, and could only say, "Just watch and don't say anything."

Luo Fengtian nodded slightly.

Seeing that he had acquiesced, the other trainees also breathed a sigh of relief and were quite curious about what kind of hostile relationship these people who had offended Su Ping had with him.
