Chapter 576 Silver Scales

"Su Ping..."

Mo Fengping was stunned, silently memorizing the name.

He knew Han Yuxiang was right; at least he felt he could never forget this terrifying boy.

"A titled one who's not even 24 years old... that means he's at the age of a student..." Mo Fengping muttered to himself.

……

"master……"

In the crowd, Xu Kuang stared blankly at the scene, suddenly feeling as if something inside him was reviving.

When he first met Su Ping, he treated him as an equal.

But as Su Ping's strength was revealed, he felt the gap between himself and Su Ping more and more, so he was willing to call Su Ping "Master".

Gradually, he began to regard Su Ping as an elder in his heart.

But at this moment, the scene before him clearly told him that Su Ping was about the same age as him.

This is the teacher he has come to believe in.

Thinking of Su Ping's feats of instantly defeating the banned player in the Elite League and becoming a peerless hero of Heilongjiang during the Beast Tide, Xu Kuang felt a boiling, burning excitement.

This is the goal he's been pursuing!

……

Inside the stone cave.

Footsteps sounded, and Su Ping and the young recorder walked along the passage.

"Tell me about this Dragon Martial Tower, give me an introduction," Su Ping said as they walked.

He felt that the boy's cultivation level was only at the fifth level. For someone his age to have such a level of cultivation was quite impressive. At least in Longjiang Base City, he could definitely get into the highest-level pet academy there.

"Um."

The boy agreed, behaving very obediently: "Senior, the Dragon Martial Tower has a total of thirty-three floors. From bottom to top, the difficulty increases significantly with each floor. There are evil spirits and blood demons inside. The higher you go, the stronger those evil spirits and blood demons become. Generally speaking, if you can reach the tenth floor, you can barely have the combat power of a titled level."

"If one reaches the thirteenth level, one can be comparable to a mid-level titled expert."

"Sixteen levels, comparable to a titled high-ranking official!"

"And the eighteenth floor is already close to the limit of combat power for a titled character."

"If you can get to the twentieth floor, you're said to get the legendary title of the Rebellious King."

"Senior, from what you said earlier, you came in to see your sister, Su, right?"

"Do you know him?"

Su Ping turned her head to look at him.

The boy felt a sense of pressure and inexplicable tension as he felt Su Ping's gaze upon him. He quickly said, "I've only met her a few times, so I wouldn't say I know her. But your sister is a very nice person, unlike those other geniuses in the academy who are arrogant and don't bother to say a word."

Su Ping nodded slightly and said, "She came here before she disappeared. Were you there? Did you see anything strange?"

The boy shook his head and said, "I was on duty at the time, but everything seemed normal. I told the vice dean that after Su reached the fourteenth floor, she continued to challenge the fifteenth floor, but failed. She then left the Dragon Martial Tower and disappeared. As for where she went, I don't know."

Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly. "You saw her leave with your own eyes?"

"Mm." The boy nodded, looking a little nervous under Su Ping's gaze.

Su Ping stared at him for a moment, and sensing that he wasn't lying, she immediately looked away, but her brows furrowed even more.

Have you left?

Then they didn't disappear in the Dragon Martial Tower.

He fell into thought.

"Senior, we've arrived at the entrance to the first level."

The boy's voice pulled Su Ping back to reality.

Before the two stood a massive, pitch-black gate. Several recorders dressed like teenagers stood guard at the entrance, all of them quite young. One of them, a young man, seemed to be their leader.

"Are you here to challenge me?" the young man asked as he approached Su Ping.

Su Ping snapped out of his daze, glanced at the massive black gate, and decided that since he was already there, he should at least go and check out the fourteenth floor first.

"Mm." Su Ping nodded.

"Senior, this is a locator. Please be careful. If you are outmatched, you can quit at any time. I will record your information." The boy handed Su Ping a tiny silver nail and said obediently.

Su Ping took it and asked, "Aren't you coming in with me?"

"With my current cultivation level, how could I possibly follow my senior into the challenge?" the boy said, blushing.

Seeing this, Su Ping didn't say anything. He casually put the silver nail into his pocket and walked towards the opened black door.

Once the giant gate closed, the young recorder looked at the boy and asked疑惑地问道, "Ah Sen, who is this person? You seem quite afraid of him?"

The boy's restraint and obedience had vanished, his eyes gleaming as he said, "This is someone we can't afford to offend. You all know about Senior Pei who just left, right? He was taught a lesson by this guy, and Vice Dean Han was there too, but no one intervened."

"Did Senior Pei get a lecture from this guy?"

"How is that possible!"

"The vice dean didn't stop it? You must be joking!"

The young man and the other teenagers beside him were all taken aback and looked at the boy, Asen, with suspicion.

"Hmph." Asen snorted coldly, offering no further explanation.

……

With a loud bang.

As the giant black gate closed, Su Ping suddenly felt that his senses were also blocked by the gate.

Before him was a dimly lit passageway.

The light came from lamps on the walls on both sides of the passage, the flames inside flickering and illuminating the walls in a reddish glow.

Looking at the spacious passageway in front of him, Su Ping suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, as if something in the shadows was watching him.

The further he walked, the stronger this feeling of discomfort became.

Soon, Su Ping realized what was causing this uncomfortable feeling.

It was a danger signal he was instinctively reacting to!

Is there something here that makes him feel dangerous?

Su Ping was somewhat surprised. According to the boy, this was only the first floor of the Dragon Martial Tower.

The first level is something even ordinary students can pass; why would he feel it's dangerous?

Could it be that the danger doesn't come from here, but from somewhere deeper?

Su Ping's eyes flickered slightly, but without giving it much thought, he strode forward.

Anyway, since he's here, he has to go and make his own arrangements first.

As Su Ping moved forward, the air soon filled with the stench of blood. Then, Su Ping saw dark mist rising from the cracks in the wall in front of him. The mist gradually gathered into a hideous figure, like a vengeful ghost, and pounced on him.

"consciousness?"

Su Ping frowned slightly, sensing that it wasn't a real energy demon, but rather a figment of his imagination.

boom!

A murderous aura surged in his mind, and a blade brimming with killing intent shot out, instantly dissipating the ferocious misty figure before him, and the surrounding passage returned to normal.

Su Ping continued forward, and soon he came to a set of steps with an opening in the middle.

Su Ping stepped into the cave entrance along the steps, and there was another spacious passage in front of him, somewhat similar to the lower level.

"This is the second level?" Su Ping was slightly taken aback. So, he had already passed the first level?

But he did not suffer the attack from the evil spirits and blood demons that the boy mentioned. Or was the thing that interfered with his consciousness earlier the so-called evil spirits and blood demons?

Su Ping didn't think much of it and continued forward. He walked slowly, observing his surroundings along the way. Although a long time had passed, he wanted to sense the traces left by Su Lingyue.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, Su Ping sensed many auras, some of which were mixed up, but he could not find Su Lingyue's aura.

The most obvious aura belonged to the student surnamed Pei who had been outside just moments before.

Woohoo!

Not long after they left, the evil spirits, condensed from dark mist, reappeared in the wall.

Su Ping unleashed a killing intent from his mind, instantly dispelling the evil spirits, and continued upwards.

The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...

In the blink of an eye, Su Ping arrived at the tenth floor.

On this tenth floor, Su Ping encountered evil spirits again, but this time he discovered that it was not a mental interference, but a real physical object!

Moreover, this tenth-level space is not a passage, but an extremely vast world that seems to have no boundaries.

This is like a secret world!

A large number of ferocious evil spirits and blood demons emerged from the surroundings. These blood demons exuded a strong bloody smell, and their grotesque and bizarre postures twisted and swarmed towards Su Ping.

Su Ping unleashed a surge of energy, instantly killing all the exhausted evil spirits and blood demons.

"It seems that I can't summon battle pets here. So, she climbed to the fourteenth floor with her own combat power? How is that possible!" Su Ping felt the strangeness of this tenth floor space. No matter how he called out, he could not open the summoning space. It seemed that he had become an ordinary person who had not awakened.

However, he could clearly sense the consciousness and aura of the little skeleton and the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast within the summoning space.

"It seems that this was indeed left behind by a Starry Sky level expert, and it is mostly restricted by the rules," Su Ping thought to himself.

Unable to use his battle pets and relying solely on his own strength, he couldn't understand how Su Lingyue had managed to reach the fourteenth floor.

The young recorder was right. The evil spirits and blood demons on the tenth floor already had combat power close to that of a titled being. When Su Lingyue came to the True Martial Academy, she was only at the fifth level of cultivation. Even if she improved rapidly here, she would only reach the sixth or seventh level at most, still a long way from the ninth level.

Su Ping couldn't figure it out and felt that she should ask Han Yuxiang about it later.

As the surrounding evil spirits and blood demons were blasted away, the world before him gradually faded away, and Su Ping appeared at the end of a passage. In front of him was a door, and next to it was a number: eleven.

The numbers are engraved on the iron plaque, clearly left by people from the early days of the academy.

Su Ping searched around but didn't see any bloodstains or wounds left from the battle, nor did he see Su Lingyue's scent.

He continued toward the eleventh floor.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ping arrived at the fourteenth floor.

With his punch, all the evil spirits and blood demons around him were blasted to pieces. Su Ping looked at the empty space in front of him. This was the place Su Lingyue had entered.

He expanded his senses to the limit, and suddenly, he found a scale in a corner.

This is a silver scale the size of a fingernail.

"It has her scent, and also the scent of the Silverfrost Starmoon Dragon. However, the Silverfrost Starmoon Dragon doesn't seem to have scales this small, and we can't summon any pets here either." Su Ping frowned, looking at the scale in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

The scent on the scales was undoubtedly Su Lingyue's.

She had clearly struggled here.

Su Ping pondered for a moment and then put the scale away.
