Astral Pet Store

Chapter 613: Revenge

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The students didn’t believe it, but the record was telling the truth.

Is there something wrong with the tablet?

But there were witnesses!

Fei Tianyi was one of the witnesses and he didn’t have to lie about anything.

But...

The highest record went from 23rd level to the 33rd level. Ten levels!

It sounded unbelievable.

“That guy who went into the Graveyard Forest was also able to enter the Dragon Tower... Does a person like that really exist?” the girl asked herself.

She was Guo Lingsha, one of the four famous students.

Her record at the Dragon Tower was the 17th level.

The creatures she had met on the 17th level were enough to scare her. She couldn’t even imagine what it was like... on the 33rd level.

“Most likely the Dragon Tower is acting up,” a young man whispered.

The young man stood tall and straight; he had graceful dark hair.

It was Ji Wuyue, one of the four star students; he was also counted as one of the blessed talents as well. His record at the Dragon Tower was better than Guo Lingsha’s and the two had contended against each other; he outperformed her every time.

Guo Lingyue didn’t respond.

She also suspected that something had gone wrong in the Dragon Tower, but it was strange that the Principal and the Vice Principal had not stepped forward to explain themselves.

Besides... She met “Mr. Su,” the one whom Fei Tianyi had spoken about at the Graveyard Forest. She didn’t think “Mr. Su” was emaciated or old.

That was what her instinct told her.

“Mr. Su” was definitely not old; he wasn’t an aged legendary battle pet warrior which had used some special method to keep a youthful appearance.

“I hope so,” Guo Lingsha finally replied.

She hoped that the Dragon Tower had a faulty detail somewhere, otherwise, she would have to suffer a massive blow to her confidence.

She was aware that she could not compete against the best students in the history of the Valiant Academy, but she did believe that she was a talent. If that new record was real, then it meant that the highest level a person in his or her twenties could reach was the 33rd level. She would turn 19 that year; twenty was not far away from her.

She did a calculation and believed that reaching the 20th level when she turned 22 was the best she could do.

But, for there to be such a massive gap between the 20th level and the 33rd level!!

The higher the level was, the more difficult it would be.

She could not longer figure out how come the differences between people were so big.

Guo Lingsha was even more convinced that something had happened to the Dragon Tower. She had heard that the Dragon Tower had been closed for maintenance.

That seemed to be proof supporting her theory.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Three people flew over.

The students around the tablet looked into the sky. Only those with a prominent identity could fly around like that on campus.

“Is that...?”

Guo Lingsha found one of the three familiar.

She wanted to take a closer look but the three had flown away. They were going to a mountain where many faculty members resided.

“Who has the courage to fly across campus?” some students uttered their dissatisfaction.

“Something important, I suppose,” someone replied.

The Valiant Academy was well-known across the globe. It was unlikely that some hotheaded young man would break in and fly around like that. Even the battle pet warriors at the peak would have to behave and follow the rules!

The Valiant Academy had produced a fair amount of titled battle pet warriors!

The Principal was at the legendary rank; the Valiant Academy could be viewed as the territory of a legendary battle pet warrior. Anyone who would dare to break the rules would usually be at the legendary rank. None of the titled battle pet warriors would have the courage to try!

...

“I believe some guests will be arriving shortly!”

Yun Wanli raised his eyebrows; he was writing a letter in his study. He stood up and gazed into the distance.

Whoosh!

He vanished on the spot, but he did not teleport; he just flew out of his study at a fast speed.

“Friends from afar...”

Yun Wanli couldn’t finish his words when he saw the three and he was dumbstruck. “Fate Challenger Su...”

The three were Su Ping, Li Yuanfeng and Su Lingyue.

“Why are you still here? I thought you had already gone to the Tower.” Su Ping was surprised to see Yun Wanli.

Yun Wanli forced a bitter smile. “I just came back. I’m writing a letter to report to the Tower about the Deep Caves.”

Li Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Writing a letter? Why don’t you just go and tell them? What? Do you have to write letters to report even the urgent matters?”

Yun Wanli could tell that Li Yuanfeng was not at all happy about that. He explained, “Sir, you don’t know this but the master of the Tower stays in closed-door cultivation for years and rarely comes out; I don’t think I can meet him if I just barge in. Everyone has to make an appointment. I’m writing to him about the Deep Caves; he will receive me immediately when he sees the letter.”

Li Yuanfeng sneered. “Hmm, everything would be doomed if something goes wrong before this master comes out!”

Li Yuanfeng no longer had a favorable opinion of the Tower after everything that happened to his family. He wanted to go to the Tower just because he was a kind man and he wanted to solve the problem at the Deep Caves.

Yun Wanli knew that he couldn’t give a satisfactory answer to Li Yuanfeng, so he changed the subject. “You went to the Corridor, right? Is she your sister?”

Su Ping nodded. “We got delayed in the Corridor. I thought you left the day we went to the Corridor. How come you barely came back?”

“That is a long story. My way out was troublesome; we encountered some beasts and had to take some detours, wasting some time in the end,” Yun Wanli explained.

Su Ping said nothing in reply.

Su Lingyue sized up the Principal with curiosity.

She had met him once when she entered the academy; after that, she would only see the Principal’s image as represented in statues and portraits of him on campus.

There she was, seeing the Principal again. And once more, she felt the power of Su Ping’s status.

“Don’t write the letter; I will go to the Tower with you. I’m curious about that so-called master. How arrogant of him!” Li Yuanfeng snorted.

Yun Wanli forced a bitter smile, “Sir, the current master is at the Fate State, and he’s trying to break through to the stage beyond the legendary rank; all the problems on the Blue Planet can be solved once he succeeds. We understand why he spends so much time cultivating...”

Li Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows. Fate State.

Even so, he was not afraid. “Hmm, going beyond the legendary rank is not an easy job. He shouldn’t be a dog in the manger if he does want to achieve this, focusing completely on his cultivation. He should outright give up the position and let other people run the Tower. What is the point of having the Tower if he just concentrates on his cultivation and nothing else?”

Yun Wanli wanted to say something but gave up. Li Yuanfeng was his senior; he couldn’t argue with him.

“Principal, where is that student you called Nan something?” Su Ping cut in and went straight to the point. He wanted to settle all the lingering troubles so he could go back to this store and think about how to rescue the Little Skeleton.

Yun Wanli noticed the coldness in Su Ping’s eyes and realized what he wanted. After a slight hesitation, Yun Wanli offered his reply, “All the students are usually on campus. You can ask his mentor; I will get him and have him take you.”

“Sure.”

Yun Wanli quickly called a middle-aged man over.

The man flew to their position, disregarding the no-flying rule because Yun Wanli had urged him to be quick about it.

“Sir, what is the matter?” the middle-aged man asked.

Yun Wanli made the introduction. “This is Mr. Li, a legendary battle pet warrior.”

The middle-aged man was startled. “Nice to meet you, sir.” He bowed.

Li Yuanfeng waved his hand. He wasn’t a man who cared about formalities.

“Fate Challenger Su is looking for Mr. Nan. Take Fate Challenger Su to see him,” Yun Wanli said.

“Fate Challenger?” The middle-aged man stole a glance at Su Ping. Being a titled battle pet warrior himself, the man understood the power of Fate Challengers, people who could defeat legendary battle pet warriors while still being at the titled rank!

That was even more difficult than reaching the legendary rank.

“It is my honor to meet you, Fate Challenger Su.” The middle-aged man cupped his hands.

Su Ping waved his hand. “You flatter me, Mr. Kong. Now, take me to that student.”

“Yes.”

The middle-aged man then bid farewell to Yun Wanli and Li Yuanfeng.

Su Ping left with Su Lingyue and that middle-aged man.

...

“This is Nan’s dorm.”

They arrived at the dormitory.

The middle-aged man landed in front of a door. He didn’t push the door open but soon walked back to where Su Ping was. “He is not here. The room is empty.”

Su Ping frowned.

“I think Nan came back with some wounds. So, he’s probably in the healing center,” the middle-aged man explained.

Su Ping told him to lead the way, and they soon arrived at the healing center. The middle-aged man went to ask around and came back to report that Nan had gone to the Dragon Tower.

The three made the trip over to the Dragon Tower.

...

Right in front of the Dragon Tower—

A dense crowd was gathered.

Guo Lingsha and Ji Wuyue stood closer to the Dragon Tower, but there was some empty space around them; the other students were afraid to stand too close to them, in case their presence would upset the pair.

“Never mind. Let’s go back. I will come again after the Dragon Tower opens.” Guo Lingsha didn’t like the bustling noises in the area.

Ji Wuyue agreed. He wouldn’t have gone there to have a look if he hadn’t heard about that stunning record. He would have been cultivating right then otherwise.

He was not a person who liked noises; he preferred cultivating alone.

His talent had been more than proven, but he rose to his current status because he worked harder than others.

When they were about to leave, the crowd stepped to the sides, opening a path for the new arrivals.

“Nan Tian!”

Guo Lingsha narrowed her eyes.

Ji Wuyue saw that boy as well.

The four star students, Fei, Nan, Ji, Guo. Fei Tianyi was the best of the four and he had the strongest combat strength. Nan Tian ranked the second; he was weaker in combat strength but stronger in spirit, which had been proven by the record he had set at the Graveyard Forest.

“Interesting. You guys are here.” Nan Tian put on a fake smile as he saw Ji Wuyue and Guo Lingsha.

“Are you here because of the record?” Guo Lingsha asked.

Even though she ranked behind Nan Tian, she wasn’t afraid of him. It wasn’t like he could kill her or something.

Besides, she was younger and she used that as an advantage.

She was the youngest of the four star students; she could accept being ranked fourth.

Nan Tian looked past her at the tablet.

He narrowed his eyes when he saw the name and the number on the first row. “The 33rd level. The rumor was true!”

That was 10 levels higher than the past record!

The students would joke about reaching the highest level, but then someone actually did it!

Guo Lingsha grinned when she saw Nan Tian’s reaction and that was a grin of irony. She knew that the person who had set the record was the one who had slapped Nan Tian in the Graveyard Forest!

That person had broken the records in both places!

“Brother Nan, take your time to cherish this. I’ll be on my way,” Ji Wuyue said.

Nan Tian nodded to him.

Ji Wuyue walked past Nan Tian, then several people arrived from the air all of a sudden.

They landed so quickly that dust was stirred up.

“What?”

Ji Wuyue raised his guard out of instinct. He mobilized his astral powers. Next, he became rooted to the spot.

One of the people was Nan Tian’s mentor.

The other two people were young and he knew the girl.

The missing student.

Su Ping, Su Lingyue and the mentor stopped in midair. Ji Wuyue narrowed his eyes; flying was a sign of the titled rank!

“Nan Tian!”

The middle-aged man noticed Nan Tian right away because he was the moon with a myriad of stars around him.

Nan Tian turned around. First, he saw his mentor. Then, he saw the other two people. He was frozen on the spot.

“Come here,” Su Ping said.

Whoosh!

Nan Tian was pulled toward him by an invisible force which directly lifted him from the crowd. Then, Su Ping threw him to the ground.
