Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 538 Nurturing and Learning

Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

"So, it's my cultivation level that's holding me back now?"

I didn't expect that upgrading the shop would have such strict requirements on cultivation level. However, it can also be put in another way... He accumulated the energy required for a level three shop with only a seventh-level cultivation level and completed the training of a mid-to-high-level pet beast. He is too outstanding!

Thinking of this, Su Ping sighed, shook his head, and said to the system, "I didn't expect even you to underestimate me."

system:"……"

"You must be very excited to have found a host like me," Su Ping thought to himself.

"..."

Su Ping smiled with satisfaction.

He won a complete victory in today's battle against the system.

My simple system, you still lack experience in dealing with people who are pretentious.

"Insult the system once," the system immediately said.

Su Ping smiled lightly, not thinking about it any further. He wouldn't give the system another chance to retaliate.

Exiting the shop interface, Su Ping looked through the previously registered pets and categorized them by type. It was extremely difficult to raise each pet to the highest quality, and this money was not easy to earn.

"These pet beasts are currently all of the lowest aptitude, some even inferior. To raise them to the highest aptitude in one go, their combat power would need to increase dramatically. We need to awaken their spirits first, allowing them to at least master a low-level speed talent. I wonder how much a single talent can improve their aptitude?"

Su Ping summoned these categorized pets one by one in the pet room. He first summoned two dragon pets, but they were both ordinary dragon pets with a dragon rank of more than ten.

If such dragon pets were left in the Purple Blood Dragon Abyss Realm, they would probably be everywhere, considered "low-grade meat" by those Purple Blood Heavenly Dragons.

Su Ping placed his hand on the dragon pet's head and released its spiritual power.

As expected, both dragon pets were successfully awakened, and they gained additional talent attributes, both of which were low-level speed talents.

Su Ping looked at their aptitudes and found that the two lowest-grade dragon pets had now improved to the upper-lower grade!

Skip through the lower-middle level in one go!

"As expected, talent is rare. Dragon pets that can awaken talent, like girls who love to laugh, are unlikely to have poor aptitude. After all, those who are poor wouldn't be able to laugh."

These two dragon pets, without any other training from him, are already close to being of average quality just by relying on their talent, which shows the importance of talent.

Their combat power, even with the low-level speed talent, directly reached the limit of 9.9!

Previously, these two dragon pets only had a combat power of 9.4 to 9.5. Compared with their level of the lower rank of the ninth tier, their combat power was only slightly higher than their own level. Such an increase was considered ordinary among dragon pets.

However, even reaching the "ordinary" level requires considerable effort from many pet trainers.

After all, if not properly nurtured, their combat power might be lower than their level.

This is by no means an exaggeration or rare occurrence.

It's like how a normal child can get 60 points on a test, but your own child fails. Isn't that very common?

Raising pets is a technical skill. Some pets suffer from stunted growth and weakness due to poor care. Others often eat random things without their owners' knowledge, leading to them accidentally ingesting strange herbs, causing them to fall ill frequently and become weak. Even if they are at a high level, their combat power will be very low.

Not every Tibetan Mastiff can beat a country dog.

Of course, beating a husky is no problem at all.

Su Ping didn't know if these two dragon pets had just reached 9.9 or were at the limit of 9.9, since this 9.9 was a bit of a rip-off.

Regardless, Su Ping was very satisfied with the significant improvement in his aptitude, which also highlighted the importance of the Spirit Opening Diagram. If he had mastered the intermediate-level speed talent, the effect would have been even more remarkable. The low-level speed talent only doubled his speed, and even a single doubling had such an effect. If it were the intermediate-level talent, doubling his speed would be even more exaggerated.

This increase in speed is double that achieved after reaching the limit through other secret methods, which is terrifying.

If two pets of equal combat strength have a low-level speed talent, and one of them bursts out at twice the speed of the other, it can completely kill the other before the other can react!

Su Ping retrieved the two dragon pets, then summoned the other pets and began to awaken their spirits one by one.

By doing this, these customers' pets are definitely making a fortune, but Su Ping isn't losing out either.

For him, it was just a matter of lifting a finger. Moreover, once he had completed the professional training of these pets through other methods, they would basically reach their limit. In the future, if their owners wanted to continue to enhance the power of their battle pets, they would have to come to his shop or go to other shops. No one else could improve or train them any further.

This is the "monopoly" of dependency.

……

In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had awakened the spirits of all twenty-four battle pets.

Most of these battle pets have lower-middle aptitude, a very small number have lower-middle aptitude, and some have already reached middle aptitude, meaning they were originally trained to have higher aptitude.

Su Ping categorized them, and then began cultivating them in batches.

These pets include demon pets, dragon pets, and elemental pets of various types.

As for combat-type pets, they are the rarest. They don't even have elemental skills, only brute strength. Although their defense is good, compared to elemental skills, they are lacking in both aesthetics and practicality. This is why combat-type pets have become common pets, only the poor have no choice but to use them.

Su Ping prioritizes training demon pets.

There are seven in total, all of them are low-ranking demon pets. The strongest one is only ranked seventh among demons, which is already considered quite high.

Although Su Ping was only at the seventh level, his mental strength was extremely powerful, enabling him to contract nine pet beasts.

Besides the five he already had, he was cultivating a world where he could sign up for four more temporary pets at a time.

In other words, Su Ping needs to take these seven pet beasts in and raise them in two batches.

This time, Su Ping didn't go to the Demigod's Fallen Land, but instead chose his pets at the Demon-type Pet Breeding Ground.

There are many breeding grounds for demon-type pets, mostly in the Asura Realm and the Netherworld. The Asura Realm alone has many subdivisions, just like the Dragon Realm.

"Why are there so many Asura Realms? Aren't they a unified great world?" Su Ping asked the system curiously.

The system didn't answer immediately, but remained silent for a while before saying, "There was once only one world in the earliest ancient times, but it was later broken and different worlds were formed."

"Why did it break?" Su Ping asked curiously.

The system remained silent. Su Ping waited for a long time but still didn't receive a reply. He called out "hello" twice, but there was still no response, so he stopped asking. Anyway, it didn't matter to him now that he knew; those things were too far removed from his life.

"Let's go to the training grounds of this Sin Sword Asura City."

Su Ping selected a location and made his choice.

This is a medium-sized cultivation ground. According to the description inside, this cultivation ground is the world of a Shura Sword King.

Besides nurturing customers' pets, Su Ping didn't forget his previous idea: he could also enhance his own power in the breeding grounds.

"If I could find the Asura Sword King in this breeding ground and get him to teach me swordsmanship, that would be pretty good," Su Ping thought to himself.

The introduction mentions that the Asura Sword King possesses unparalleled swordsmanship, which makes Su Ping quite tempted. Although he prefers to rely on his fists because they are simple and brutal, it wouldn't hurt to master more other weapons and secret techniques. After all, having more prostitutes is never a bad thing, and having more of these can only be beneficial.

After making his selection, Su Ping paid the entrance fee directly.

Su Ping spent 40 energy points from the system shop to purchase four temporary contracts. He then signed contracts with the first batch of demon pets he was going to cultivate and headed to the City of Sinful Swords.

……

……

The City of Sinful Swords and Asura.

It is called a city, and it truly is a city. The main location of the entire world is in a desolate, ancient megacity. Outside the megacity lies a dark wasteland, devoid of much life.

Within this ancient city, only a few skeletons and undead roamed, and their numbers were not many.

At the highest point of Shura City stands a execution platform, where a massive, dark sword tens of meters long stands. Before the sword sits a burly, enormous figure, radiating a terrifying aura capable of devouring light. On his head are the killing horns of the Shura race, but one of them is broken off.

Su Ping teleported to this Shura City and summoned all his pets, including the four belonging to the customers, making a total of nine.

Fighting his way through the empty streets of the city, and after being ambushed and killed seven or eight times, Su Ping arrived at the highest point in the city, in front of the execution platform.

There were no other undead creatures here, not even troublesome evil spirits. When Su Ping saw the burly figure sitting in front of the giant sword, he immediately recognized him as a member of the Asura clan. His aura was extremely strong, definitely not a legendary figure, but a star-level one, even more terrifying than the old star dragon he had seen in the Purple Blood Dragon Abyss Realm!

This is an aura that is ready to erupt at any moment, full of sharpness.

The next moment, Su Ping saw the other person open their eyes, and the instant their eyes met, Su Ping felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.

"I mean no harm; I'm here to learn swordsmanship," Su Ping said directly.
