Astral Pet Store

Chapter 346 Showtime for Xu Kuang

At around 7:30 in the morning.

Su Ping returned to the store after breakfast and Xu Kuang arrived shortly after.

They did not waste any time. Xu Kuang paid the bill and Su Ping took him to the test room.

Su Ping brought out the rental contract he showed Xu Kuang the day before and summoned the Dark Dragon Hound for them to build a temporary contract.

“How do I do that?”

Xu Kuang was at a loss as to what to do with the rental contract.

Su Ping made a small cut on Xu Kuang’s finger with his nail and told Xu Kuang to stamp the contract with his blood. Then, Su Ping pasted the contract on the Dark Dragon Hound’s forehead.

Soon, the piece of paper turned into energy, submerging into the Dark Dragon Hound.

Immediately, he sensed that there was something else next to the contract he had built with the Dark Dragon Hound, and that something had cast a veil over the contract.

But he could still command the Dark Dragon Hound if he wanted.

His contract with the Dark Dragon Hound was superior to the rental contract.

If Su Ping and Xu Kuang were to give orders at the same time, the Dark Dragon Hound would only follow Su Ping’s orders.

“It’s all yours. Take good care of it.” Su Ping patted Xu Kuang’s shoulder.

Elated, Xu Kuang could feel the new contract in his consciousness. He could feel the Dark Dragon Hound which appeared to be a bit lazy, and at the same time violent.

He could tell that the pet was harboring some deep-rooted rage.

“This is a ferocious pet!” Xu Kuang was glad.

The more violent the battle pet was, the better it would be. The violent battle pets would have stronger powers and they would not flinch when faced with tough opponents!

The only downside of having a violent pet was that it could easily backfire on the master.

“Remember, eight hours only. But that should be enough time for you to win the match,” Su Ping cautioned Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang nodded quickly. He asked a sudden question, “Sir, if I use the Dark Dragon Hound and my pet together... Will I be able to defeat Liu Qingfeng?” Xu Kuang was eager for an affirmative answer. He had seen what the Dark Dragon Hound was capable of the other day and could not wait to try it out.

He was very upset since Liu Qingfeng had defeated him.

Of the current Top 10 winners, he disliked the man from the Mu Family the most and then Liu Qingfeng

At the beginning of the Elite League, Mu Cheng was the one most unpleasant to Xu Kuang’s eyes. Mu Chen was also in Xu Kuang’s class. For their three years in the Ares Academy, Mu Chen had bested Xu Kuang in every regard, which enraged Xu Kuang. However, since Mu Chen failed to reach the Top 10, Xu Kuang was unable to challenge him.

But the fact that Xu Kuang had reached that far was enough to shame Mu Chen. On this point alone, Xu Kuang had been gloating since the day prior.

“Challenge Liu Qingfeng?” Su Ping was surprised that Xu Kuang would mention this name, then he remembered that Xu Kuang had lost to Liu Qingfeng. “Yes, of course. Basically, you can win... against all the others except for Qin Shaotian.”

Xu Kuang couldn’t believe this.

He opened his eyes wide in astonishment.

He could challenge anyone except for Qin Shaotian?

That was to say, he could win third place with the Dark Dragon Hound!

How awesome that would be!

Fifth-place could not compare to third place. It was third place! He would be able to stand on the podium and receive the award!

“Are you serious?” Xu Kuang had to make sure.

Su Ping nodded slightly.

He had not seen the other Top 10 matches carefully and he believed that those people were most likely hiding their strength. And yet, he had a sense that the most dangerous among them was Qin Shaotian. If Su Ping were to command the Dark Dragon Hound himself, he believed that beating Qi Shaotian was doable.

But the same could not be said for Xu Kuang.

He could beat the others as long as he didn’t challenge Qin Shaotian.

After Su Ping had given him an affirmative answer, Xu Kuang began to tremble with excitement. He couldn’t imagine that beautiful scene.

He could crush a bunch of geniuses with the Dark Dragon Hound alone!

“You truly are my dear teacher!!” Xu Kuang shouted while visibly thrilled. He never questioned Su Ping’s words for a second. He had seen the Dark Dragon Hound’s skills, which had utterly shocked him.

“All right now. It’s about time to say the last goodbye,” Su Ping said. Xu Kuang came back to his senses. “Do you have to say it in such an ominous way?” he complained.

“Was it ominous? Don’t worry. Go.”

Xu Kuang left. Since no one customer was at the store, Su Ping put Tang Ruyan back into the scroll and called Su Lingyue over. It was time for them to leave.

In the car, Su Ping asked Su Lingyue, “Are you ready?”

Su Lingyue took a deep breath. “Yes, I’m ready. I’ll try my best no matter who I’m fighting!” “No, I mean, sit tight.” “What?”

Boom!

The engine roared and the car dashed away.

Uptown area.

The venue was crowded and the cheers never ended.

The match had yet to begin. On the stage, famous singers were performing and cheerleaders wearing sexy costumes were dancing. The atmosphere was being warmed up.

It was a good day, with the sun rising high in the sky.

Information about the current Top 10 winners was streaming on the large screens, as well as some videos of their previous battles. The audience would shout out in joy when they saw some of the classic moves.

The most played video was the fight between Qin Shaotian and Su Lingyue.

That battle was regarded as one of the best on the internet and by many pet experts!

Everyone believed that the champion would either be Su Lingyue or Qin Shaotian, Su Lingyue being the most likely victor!

Currently, the poll on the internet showed that Su Lingyue was thought to be the one most likely to win first place and her support rate was much higher than that of others!

That level of popularity was understandable. After all, Su Lingyue’s dragon was able to severely injure the judge. Even the general public would have an idea about how terrifying the dragon was. Su Ping drove to the venue and entered the stadium with Su Lingyue, using a special corridor for participants.

Hanging on the walls were large posters of the current Top 10 winners.

The corridor was like a hall of fame!

Even Su Ping was inspired by this atmosphere of honor.

Su Lingyue was deeply touched by the posters that she never expected to see. She could imagine what the participants would feel when they stepped in and saw their respective posters. Everyone would be choked up with emotions.

Soon after, Su Ping and Su Lingyue were inside the venue.

As in the previous rounds, Su Lingyue went to the staging area and Su Ping went to find his seat.

“Look, it’s Su Lingyue!”

“She’s here!!”

“It is her! Oh my god!”

Some people that noticed Su Lingyue cried out in excitement, which got more people to look over. For a moment, everyone in the venue began to shout her name.

Over a hundred thousand people were shouting the same name.

The voice they generated was encouraging!

Su Lingyue was still unused to this.

She trembled when she heard people shouting her name. It was because of excitement, nervousness, and sheer thrill!

That had to be what a sense of honor felt like, right?

Tears came to her eyes. She would never forget how she was feeling at the moment. This level of excitement was something everyone pursued!

She sat down and looked over to the family member’s area to find Su Ping.

She knew that someone else deserved this honor more than she did.

If those people knew that he was the one who gave me the pets and about what he’s capable of... they would lose their minds... Su Lingyue thought. Before she knew it, she had begun to admire Su Ping.

Soon, the other participants that day’s challenge match had arrived at the staging area.

There were only twenty people in the spacious staging area.

As all the participants had arrived, the four commentators had gotten into the airship and flown up. The number of commentators had increased to four from the original two. One could tell how important this day’s round of matches was.

They announced the rules and declared the start of the event!

First, the challenge matches!

The commentators invited the current Top 10 winners to get on the stage.

“The participants can pick any one of the ten to challenge!”

The commentators’ voices echoed in the venue.

The current Top 10 winners were standing in a line on the stage. They all exhibited different kinds of momentum. Some of them looked fierce, some appeared to be gloomy and detached, some were calm and some even seemed to be weak.

Su Lingyue was the one who didn’t stand out. She seemed to be one of the push-overs. But everyone that was about to challenge them knew that the girl was the most horrifying of the 10!

The audience quieted down after the commentators’ voices died away. Some people were watching the current Top 10 winners and some people were eyeing the challengers.

The latter were looking at each other as well. The Top 10 winners were tough.

“Let me!”

In less than a minute, someone shouted and his voice was full of arrogance!

People looked over.

It was Xu Kuang.

He was deemed to have the potential to reach the Top 10 as well but eventually lost to Liu Qingfeng. He was still a popular participant because everyone remembered his stunning performance. “Xu Kuang, who do you want to challenge?” one of the commentators asked with a smile.

Xu Kuang raised his hand and pointed at someone on the stage. That gesture spoke to his arrogance while being a bit silly at the same time.

“Liu Qingfeng!” Xu Kuang shouted.

He used astral powers so that everyone could hear him.

Being a sixth-rank battle pet warrior, he could send his voice to every corner when he used astral powers to amplify his voice.

People were stunned still by his answer.

He wanted to challenge Liu Qingfeng?!

Didn’t he lose against him? Why would he want to challenge Liu Qingfeng again?
