Chapter 125 Su Ping’s Dragon Roar
“Xu Kuang, who is this with you?” the girl who was drinking juice asked in surprise when she noticed Su Ping standing behind Xu Kuang.
Those were familiar with each other since all of them studied at the Ares Academy and happened to live in the same community.
The two young men noticed Su Ping as well. Su Ping seemed around their age. Was he a new resident there? Was he a student from the Ares Academy?
Xu Kuang seemed to be embarrassed when they asked about Su Ping. He couldn’t tell them directly that Su Ping was a private tutor he found online.
If he spelled out this fact, his glamorous days at school would come to an end. He would be the laughing stock for all the students at the academy.
“He’s a friend of mine who came to visit.” Xu Kuang made up such an excuse to fool them. He didn’t mention that he had been threatened by Su Ping, either. It would be more shameful if people knew that he had found a private tutor of his same age and that he had been beaten by the latter.
“Oh…”
Knowing that Su Ping was not a new resident, those present lost their interest.
They operated in a small circle as well. Anyone that wanted to join in had to be of the same strength and background.
“Why don’t you go and have some rest? Let me and my friend have a try here,” Xu Kuang didn’t want to stay there any longer.
“Sure.”
“See you later.”
Then they shifted back to their previous conversation.
Su Ping was happy since Xu Kuang was sensible enough to spare him the nonsense. He followed Xu Kuang to a battle venue.
This was a battle venue with a diversity of scenes, including ponds, a small lava section, grass, woods, etc., quite suitable for the training of most pets.
After Su Ping stepped into the venue, Xu Kuang plugged his card in the metal slot behind the door and typed in the password to close the door.
Then, he stepped to the center of the venue and summoned his pets at the same time.
As several of his main pets were summoned, he felt more secure. He turned around, pulled a long face, and said to Su Ping who was standing by the door, “Didn’t you say that you were going to teach me? Now, teach me!”
Looking at the resentment written all over Xu Kuang’s face, Su Ping raised his eyebrows, “What? You’re still unconvinced?”
Xu Kuang didn’t waste another second with Su Ping. He groaned and mentally ordered his pets to attack him!
He had been overwhelmed by Su Ping’s physical strength but that was nothing special. Using pets to fight was the key. After all, they were battle pet warriors, not martial art warriors.
Roar!
The Soul Feasting Beast was the first to come to Su Ping. This pet had reached the fifth rank and was a pet of the undead family skilled at spiritual attacks. This pet feasted on dead souls and it looked like a ball of murky grey mist. From the ball of mist came out miserable cries that would freeze your blood.
This strange and terrifying appearance was enough to scare many people away. Behind the Soul Feasting Beast was a Swamp Creeper, a pet with a bloodline of the sixth rank. At the moment, this pet had almost reached the peak of its strength, currently at the upper position of the fifth rank!
The Swamp Creeper appeared to be even more hideous. It was covered with what looked like rotting mud, but it wasn’t real mud. The mud-like tissue was part of its body, which was at the moment moving rapidly on the ground, like a gigantic human, but put together with the hands and feet of some monsters.
The Swamp Creeper left a foul-smelling stain wherever it touched. This was why undead pets were disgusting.
While the two fifth-rank pets started their attacks, another pet stayed with Xu Kuang and observed.
“Let’s see how you can keep your arrogance!” Profound killing intent glistened in Xu Kuang’s eyes. He didn’t mean to actually kill Su Ping but that intention was thriving in his heart.
It was unlikely that he would remain unaffected by the pets of the undead family after being with them for so long.
His mood swings were more intense when compared to normal people.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows as he watched those two adorable pets coming at him, making threatening gestures.
He shook his head and commented, “Soul Feasting Beasts are good at spiritual attacks but you made it move forward. Given its current rank, the range of its spiritual attacks is 50 meters. It should have stayed with you to remain protected. Are you planning on using it to threaten your opponents by risking it?”
He shook his head again as he saw the Swamp Creeper that had reached him. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh. “Swamp Creeper, its name indicates what kind of environment is more suitable to it. Even without a swamp available, you shouldn’t have sent the Swamp Creeper out when you’re standing on sand. The dried and hard sand grains on the ground will slow the Swamp Creeper down by a large margin.
“Besides, the part under its stomach and the countless mud tendrils under its four claws will be damaged by the dry sand as well. This is detrimental to the Swamp Creeper.”
As he made those remarks, he made a move and dodged the Swamp Creeper’s tongue and claws.
The Swamp Creeper kept going after him. Having no other choice, he grabbed the Swamp Creeper’s slim, long, mud-covered arm and made a turn. Leveraging the tremendous strength on his arms, Su Ping hurled the four-meter Swamp Creeper away.
But he didn’t do so to harm the Swamp Creeper. He threw it to a pond so that the Swamp Creeper could have some rest.
At the same time, that Soul Feast Beast had enveloped Su Ping. The dreary cries and screams were enough to make anyone collapse, especially girls.
Roar!
Su Ping’s throat grew in size slightly and he opened his mouth.
He let out a Dragon’s Roar!
That wasn’t a simple roar. It contained astral powers, sonic waves, and some deterrence effects.
The Soul Feast Beast’s mist-like body tumbled, like tides. It moved away from Su Ping at once and kept a distance of over a dozen meters. The dreary cries and screams in the mist quieted down as well. The Soul Feast Beast was definitely scared.
Su Ping had listened to enough roars at the Dragon King’s Heritage Ground. Even the Managram had picked up the Dragon’s Roar, not to mention Su Ping himself.
Though given the structure of humans’ throats, his Dragon’s Roar was not the real one; he did try to adjust it with astral powers and alter his throat at the cultivation sites. During the many attempts, he even strangled himself to death once.
Later on, he came across a method. He just needed to adjust his Adam’s apple; by doing this, he could protect his throat.
Usually, it would be difficult for battle pet warriors to do this with their throats. However, since he studied the Solar Bulwark, he wasn’t any weaker than the average dragons when it came to physical strength. The same was true for the strength of his throat.
This roar didn’t only deter the Soul Feast Beast, but it also shocked Xu Kuang.
What did he hear?
Was that Dragon’s Roar?
How could a human roar like a dragon?!
“Time to stop messing around.” Having scared away the Soul Feast Beast, Su Ping frowned and shouted to Xu Kuang at the distance.
In the meantime, he stepped toward Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang came back to his senses. Su Ping was walking closer and closer. Xu Kuang couldn’t help but revisit the images of Su Ping’s terrifying and cold looks in his mind. Goosebumps burst out all over Xu Kuang’s skin. He regretted locking the door. If Su Ping meant him any harm, Xu Kuang would have no way out.
“I, I am sorry.” Xu Kuang’s voice was trembling.
That killing intent in his heart had vanished. He had seen reality.
Su Ping had subdued two of his pets by only relying on his strength. Only advanced battle pet warriors could have done this.
Xu Kuang found it hard to believe that an advanced battle pet warrior could be this young. That being said, he would never dare to offend Su Ping again.
