Chapter 473 Hoping He Returns as a Better Man
“The Valiant Academy?”
Su Ping was surprised that Xu Kuang-a guy who often fooled around in his studies—had been able to enter the Valiant Academy.
As far as Su Ping knew, the best academy there was in the Subcontinent District should have very strict standards when admitting students. Xu Kuang was a good student, but not the most outstanding of the lot.
What Su Ping didn’t know was that Xu Kuang’s performance during the Elite League had caught the Academy’s attention; that was why he received the Letter of Admission.
All the Top 5 participants had received a Letter of Admission, including Su Lingyue.
Su Ping was unaware because since she had the invitation he had given her, she decided not to mention the additional Letter of Admission to him. Besides, Su Ping was in the Holy Light Base City at that time. Su Lingyue didn’t even mention the second invitation in the letter she had left for Su Ping.
“Yes. My brother said that it was all because of you. He was able to outdo himself at the Elite League thanks to the pet you rented to him,” Xu Yingxue mentioned.
Xu Kuang’s outstanding performance had not merely amazed his academy and his family. Xu Yingxue “friendly” questioned Xu Kuang. By then, she had finally realized that her brother’s stunning performance was all because of Su Ping and the pet had also been trained by him. In a sense, Su Ping was the reason Xu Kuang had been able to achieve such results.
Because of the good results, Xu Kuang received the invitation from the Valiant Academy soon after the Elite League was over, which was excellent news for the entire family. The Valiant Academy was the most famous academy of the Subcontinent District. The students who could graduate from this institution would either become masters or titled battle pet warriors in the future!
As such, the Xu Family was grateful to Su Ping.
“Don’t mention it. He paid for the services, so he deserved that,” Su Ping replied.
But that was not enough to convince Xu Yingxue. True, Xu Kuang had spent money but the money spent was not worth mentioning compared to what he got!
Just the fact that Xu Kuang had won a good place in the Elite League alone was something that couldn’t be obtained with money, not to mention the fact that Xu Kuang had received an invitation from such a prestigious academy. Neither could be exchanged with money!
“My brother may call us occasionally. I can send a message for you, should you have anything to say to him,” Xu Yingxue told Su Ping.
Su Ping thought for a bit. “Nothing much. Just tell him that I hope he can return a better student, not the loser student that he is now. He must not waste such a good chance.”
Xu Yingxue didn’t know what to say. He was quite blunt about it.
“I will tell him that.”
“Sure.”
Su Ping shifted the conversation back to business. “What kind of pet do you want us to train? You can summon your pet now. You can come and pick it up if everything goes well.”
“Okay.”
Xu Yingxue nodded. She summoned the pet she wanted to be trained; her major pet had ninth-rank bloodline but was currently at the seventh-rank.
Su Ping told Joanna to take the pet away. “Do you know that the price for professional training is a hundred million astral coins?” Su Ping asked, afraid she was unaware.
One hundred million astral coins could be converted into one million energy points, enough for one try at the Incubation Pool.
“Yes, I do.” Xu Yingxue came prepared. First of all, her brother had been brainwashing her about Su Ping’s amazing abilities. Second, everyone who visited Su Ping’s store had been giving good reviews. She was eager to try it herself and later found out about the professional training, which was said to be even better than general training. As for the one hundred million astral coins… Indeed, that sum of money was a lot for her.
If she was willing, she could squeeze enough money.
Anyway… she could simply convince herself that she was just withdrawing her allowance for the next few years in advance.
He could deal with that kind of pressure thanks to her rich family status. Xu Yingxue paid the money quickly as if she were just buying a cup of milk tea. Su Ping was happy. The more rich girls like her, the merrier.
“Listen…”
Su Ping remembered the two ninth-rank beasts that had obtained the day before. He didn’t plan on keeping any of the two.
The beats were at the peak of the ninth rank, had pretty good combat strength and both were of extinct species. However, he didn’t need any new pets since he had the Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound. If he wanted new ones, he would rather get a rare one with beast king bloodline.
“Do you need to buy a pet? We have two new pets at the peak of the ninth rank and the price is reasonable,” Su Ping asked.
It took Xu Yingxue two seconds to fully understand Su Ping’s proposal. Her eyes glowed as she asked in a hurry, “Really? At the peak of the ninth rank? I want one. How
much?”
“Both are priced at around sixty million astral coins,” Su Ping answered.
With that said, Su Ping remembered something. “Are you an advanced battle pet warrior?”
“Yes.” Xu Yingxue nodded but was confused. “Why do ask?”
“Oh…” Su Ping was disappointed. “I dor think you can buy it. You would be able to sign the contract but it will exhaust you, and the pet can lose control easily. Both pets are pretty violent. Only master battle pet warriors and above can use such pets.”
Xu Yingxue became speechless due to her astonishment. She slowly opened her eyes as wide as they could go. “The peak of the ninth-rank you mentioned is not the bloodline?”
She thought Su Ping was saying that the pets had bloodline at the peak of the ninth rank!
She didn’t know that Su Ping was talking about the pets’ current state!
Two beasts that were now at the peak of the ninth rank?!
“Of course,” Su Ping answered.
Xu Yingxue opened her mouth but no sound came out. A long while later, her open mouth changed into a bitter smile. Both Su Ping and the store were unconventional.
Beasts at the peak of the ninth rank are second only to beast kings!
Not even titled battle pet warriors could have several such beasts as their pets!
But Su Ping was selling them!
Has anyone sold beasts like this before?!
Not that she had heard of!
“Well… you’re right. I cannot buy one.” Xu Yingxue produced a forced smile. She knew her limits. Not even a mild beast at the peak of the ninth rank could be tamed by her.
She couldn’t force a relationship with a beast.
“Mr. Su, are you serious about selling such pets? If so, I will find someone. Our team captain is a master battle pet warrior. He is at the eighth-rank, and I can call him right now. He’ll be okay if you ask for more money!” Xu Yingxue said all this at once. She realized that this was not a chance to be missed. It was now or never!
No other pet store could have done this. But Su Ping’s store was not like the other stores. She had to trust him.
Also, as far as she knew, Su Ping could capture beasts at the peak of the ninth rank and tame such beasts and make them pets.
“Yes, I’m serious. I will summon them later,” Su Ping said. He wanted to sell the pets and convert money into more important energy points. He didn’t want to let the pets occupy his storage space for long. “Do hurry. I cannot save one for you if others come to buy them. Besides, the price is set. Not a penny less, nor a penny more.” Su Ping was no longer the hothead that he was in the past. Pets at the peak of the ninth-rank were very appealing. He would have no lack of customers. He was confident that titled battle pet warriors would be interested as soon as he spread out the word. After all, even people like Venerable the Blade would want such pets.
Xu Yingxue came back to her senses.
Indeed, Su Ping was practically giving away those pets by selling them at a price of several dozens of million. She would lose her chance if she didn’t hurry.
“So, can I buy the pet or do I have to wait for my captain?” Xu Yingxue asked. She would rather take the risk if the chance was going to slip away. Su Ping shook his head. “I will only sell the pets to the master. No transfer or exchange is allowed. Anyone who abandons or transfers the pets bought here would be added to the store’s blacklist.”
That was the system’s requirement, and also
his.
It wasn’t strange that a master would abandon a pet that could no longer offer enough help. Before the Dark Dragon Hound evolved, it was originally a Moon Chasing Hound that had been abandoned by its previous master.
A master like that was not the worst; at least the pet was left in a pet store. The pet would not starve to death if it could meet a better master.
Other battle pet warriors would prefer not going through so much trouble. Maybe they would leave the base city, find someplace in the wild, and then cancel the contract directly.
As such, even without the system’s reminder, Su Ping hated such a situation to an extreme.
Xu Yingxue understood what he meant. If shopping agents were allowed in the store, then anyone could come and buy a pet, to later sell it to someone else at a higher price to make money.
“I will call my captain now.” Xu Yingxue stepped away to make the call without any hesitation, or wasting another second thanking Su Ping.
