Chapter 424 - Reaching the Advanced Ranks
Chapter 424 Reaching the Advanced Ranks
Su Ping’s surprise did not last long.
The Golden Dragon Hound had just inherited the dragon king’s bloodline. Both its bloodline and potential had been greatly elevated. Basically, the Golden Dragon Hound had received everything from a creature that had once been above the legendary rank.
It was no surprise that the Golden Dragon Hound’s aptitude was increasing.
After all, considering its combat strength, the dog could fight an average legendary being when the dog itself was at the sixth rank!
That was an achievement that not even Su Ping could accomplish.
The one who summoned Heaven’s Test stood under the large thundercloud, dumbfounded. Everyone on the mountain was gazing at the thundercloud as well. The overwhelming pressure and the claps of thunder even alerted some in the distant city.
Many people flew up to the sky and looked over.
Another rare talent!
The more powerful ones in the city were stunned. A thundercloud with a diameter of over one hundred thousand meters was rarely seen. However, in the past six months, many such thunderclouds had appeared above the mountain.
There had been some rumors running around, that some that were long deceased had been reincarnated.
It seemed that those were not merely rumors after all.
On the mountain.
After the Golden Dragon Hound was struck to death by the lightning, Su Ping commanded the Little Skeleton to take the Golden Dragon Hound’s place.
It was the first time for the Little Skeleton to experience the Heaven’s Test. The foul and dark air around the Little Skeleton was dispersed a little bit as the lightning struck the Little Skeleton but soon, more dark energy surged out.
The Little Skeleton was also able to induce a thundercloud with a diameter of one hundred thousand meters!
That had come as a surprise to Su Ping. After all, the Little Skeleton’s aptitude was not rated as above average. Theoretically speaking, the thundercloud should be smaller.
But soon, Su Ping had figured it out.
The Little Skeleton’s aptitude was not rated as above average but that was because the system was making the comparison against all of the Little Skeleton’s race that had been born since the beginning of time!
The Little Skeleton’s race was the Skeleton King’s race which was ferocious and tough! Of all Skeleton Kings, the Little Skeleton was not among the better ones. But in comparison against all the other creatures in the universe, the Little Skeleton couldn’t be regarded as bad!
Truth be told, the Little Skeleton-same as the Golden Dragon Hound-was able to go beyond the legendary rank in the future!
After all, both the dragon king and the Skeleton King were creatures above the legendary rank.
Joanna had just calmed herself down when the thundercloud induced by the Little Skeleton threw her into another round of shock.
The God Warrior standing by her was just as astounded.
Another battle pet like this?!
What were they!
Even a battle pet was doing better than him. What a slap on the face!
Joanna stood in a daze with a dull look in her eyes.
That can’t be true…
Joanna, the reincarnation of her original true self, was considered quite talented as she was able to induce a thunder cloud of over one hundred thousand meters. As it turned out, she was on the same level as Su Ping’s battle pets?
She would always feel embarrassed around Su Ping from then on!
Such humiliation!
So unfair!
Joanna bit her lips. She couldn’t even find a single word to describe her mood.
If Su Ping knew what was going on inside her mind, he would offer the perfect phrase:
So f*cked up!
…
As the Little Skeleton was rendered dust by the lightning, Su Ping had the Purple Python and the Inferno Dragon go one after the other.
The Purple Python and the Inferno Dragon could merely induce a thundercloud of about twenty thousand meters, much smaller than that of the Little Skeleton and the Golden Dragon Hound. After all, the Little Skeleton and the Golden Dragon Hound were practically cheating, since they had been blessed with great legacies. Su Ping joined in as well.
Soon, his thundercloud began to grow.
First, it went up to one hundred thousand meters and the growth continued until the diameter reached about one hundred and eighty thousand meters.
Su Ping remembered that the diameter of the thundercloud was one hundred and thirty-five thousand meters on his first attempt.
This time, there was an additional fifty thousand meters.
This had to be because of the first layer of the Solar Bulwark.
Of course, the growth of the Golden Dragon Hound and the Little Skeleton was considered as part of his strength as well.
Su Ping’s personal combat strength was weaker than that of the Little Skeleton and the Golden Dragon Hound. Still, the two were his battle pets. The Heaven’s Test would regard the two battle pets as part of Su Ping. That was why Su Ping was able to induce a thundercloud larger than what his pets could.
Joanna felt she was about to collapse on the ground when she saw the growth of the thundercloud.
This guy became even more formidable than before.
The thing was that this guy wasn’t even at the titled rank yet!
Who could tell how the thundercloud would be like when the guy went there for his own Heavenly Test?
Joanna felt an urge to be reincarnated into a new body and start all over again.
Su Ping felt refreshed after loafing off Heaven’s Tests of over ten people.
The energy inside him became lighter. If the prior volume of energy could be compared to a lake, then the current volume would be that of a small pond. If the weight of the energy was like a drop of water before, the energy merely weighed like mist at the moment.
One mental command and the energy could reach every part of him.
Within an instant!
Su Ping believed that his energy bursts were two times as powerful as before!
If a titled battle pet warrior was standing within Su Ping’s attack range, he could punch the former to death before realizing what was happening!
That was how fast Su Ping could be!
Upon finishing an internal check-up, Su Ping then inspected the Little Skeleton and his other battle pets. All of their combat strengths were increased.
Same as the energy in Su Ping, the energy in his battle pets had been improved in all aspects. They were far superior when compared to their peers concerning the amount, richness of energy, and how fast they could unleash their energy.
Afterward.
Su Ping told Joanna to introduce the Little Skeleton to a Celestial God who was good at sabers and swords to give it some lessons.
Su Ping had previously gained a general idea about the different states in the legendary rank. He took the chance to ask Joanna and found out that the Celestial Gods living in the Demigod Burial were comparable to legendary battle pet warriors at the Fate State.
God Warriors were above the legendary rank.
The Major Gods were even more powerful than that.
A Celestial God, who was comparable to a legendary rank battle pet warrior at the peak, was more than qualified to teach the Little Skeleton. If Su Ping would have found the Little Skeleton a God Warrior as a teacher, it might not be able to digest the information. The Little Skeleton would be taking lessons, as opposed to receiving legacies that would be imprinted on its mind directly.
Su Ping also asked some Celestial Gods to teach the Golden Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon. The two battle pets no longer needed confrontations with death; they needed to stabilize their foundations. They had to learn some combat strengths which would be combined with their primal fighting instincts. That was how the Golden Dragon Hound and the Little Skeleton would be able to completely digest the legacies they had received.
Constantly being threatened by death would not always inspire them.
Having made arrangements for his battle pets, Su Ping went ahead and started to train Qin Shuhai’s Earthen Turtle.
The Earthen Turtle was nervous in that unfamiliar environment.
In this place, Celestial Gods and True Gods were countless. Any one of them could make the Earthen Turtle shudder with fear.
Su Ping realized that the Earthen Turtle needed to be emboldened.
A battle pet with a mild nature was unqualified for battle.
Especially those that had fatal dangers.
A battle pet with a mild temperament could be stunned into incompetence when some ferocious battle pets used deterrence skills.
Su Ping asked for the location of a more perilous location from Joanna and took the Earthen Turtle there.
The Earthen Turtle was able to maintain a basic level of loyalty with the help of the temporary contract, which enabled the pet to listen to Su Ping.
After they arrived, Su Ping started the familiar way of “training”.
“Revive!”
“Revive!”
“Revive!”
There were several standards for qualified professional training of advanced pets.
First of all, the pet’s aptitude had to be rated as average. If the pet was already average, then the training would require for the pet to learn an advanced skill or have an increase of 0.5 points in combat strength!
For advanced pets, an increase of 0.5 in combat strength was incredible enough!
In particular, for ninth-rank battle pets, to have an increase of 0.5 in combat strength would be unbelievably hard.
Of course, if the battle pets of the ninth rank could learn one advanced pet skill, the training would be deemed just as satisfactory. After all, advanced pet skills were not easy to learn.
The advanced pet skill could usually give a great boost to the pet’s combat strength.
Take the Little Skeleton as an example. A legendary skill such as Gate of the Dead had brought about a sharp increase in the Little Skeleton’s combat strength!
The training days had completely changed the Earthen Turtle.
Its paws became sharper and new; sharp spikes grew out from its shell!
The Earthen Turtle looked nothing like before. It had become a ferocious beast that was filled with killing intent.
The training had been quite easy for Su Ping to conduct, since the Earthen Turtle had never been trained in the cultivation site before. The only thing he had to do was to put the Earthen Turtle through more deadly trials.
But battle pets that had been trained there many times and had become insensible to death were more difficult to be trained. Su Ping would have to rely on channeling energy to the battle pets.
After he mastered a trainer’s skill, he had come to know a new way, to deliver the rules.
With that, he could help battle pets to master new skills.
Su Ping had gained much himself during the process of training the Earthen Turtle.
Finally, he had made the breakthrough to the seventh rank. He had become an advanced battle pet warrior!
Upon having reached the seventh rank, Su Ping could clearly feel the growth of the cell cores that could house more astral powers, three times more than before!
