Chapter 149 The Myth
Fei Yanbo was startled by Su Ping’s words.
The Abyss Snake was curled up on the ground, shaking. This was a fact that was hard to accept for Fei Yanbo.
It took him a lot of trouble to obtain this Abyss Snake. Just then, it had been defeated by something that was just a skeleton. How ridiculous this was!
And yet, facts were facts. He had to accept it no matter what.
“You… That is not a common skeleton, is it?” after a moment of silence, Fei Yanbo asked. He noticed that his voice was hoarse.
Su Ping threw him a look but said nothing in reply.
He wasn’t obligated to leak information about his pets.
Besides, this was such a stupid question he didn’t bother to answer. Fei Yanbo curled his lips after Su Ping’s reaction. The former didn’t pursue the question further. He turned around and called his shaking and bleeding Abyss Snake back into the pet space. This battle ended quickly. There were more abilities that his Abyss Snake had not been able to display but Fei Yanbo was well aware that he had lost!
Without the threat from the Abyss Snake, the protective screen had been turned off.
Su Ping turned around and flew away from this battered stage.
Fei Yanbo was filled with mixed feelings as he watched Su Ping leave. Fei Yanbo was reluctant to accept this outcome. He was filled with bitterness, jealousy, and a sense of luck turned sour. A late awaker should be feared. This was what people would say. Finally, that day, he had a full understanding of the meaning.
Su Ping flew out of the stage. Ye Hao had just recovered from the shock of the Abyss Snake being defeated. Seeing Su Ping flying astonished him yet again! He opened up his mouth, completely in shock.
As Su Ping left the stage, the students also came back to their senses. They glanced over the stage that was a complete mess. While they were still in shock, soon, people began to tremble with excitement. They cheered for Su Ping loudly.
Their cheers could raise the roof! Su Ping won again! He defeated the mighty Abyss Snake!
To many students, the flying Su Ping was like a legend. He was invincible!
He was such a young person, about the same age as the students. And yet, the achievements he had accomplished were something the students could never reach!
Who could be said to be a peerless genius?
Su Ping was such a person!
Many people chanted at the same time, “Winner!”
“Winner!!”
“Winner!!!”
Everyone chanted with one voice and it was so loud that the venue was shaking.
Their voices were getting louder each time, loud enough to wake the dead!
Dong Mingsong, Luo Guxue, and the others were pulled back to reality by the cheers of excitement. They were surprised and delighted at the same time, seeing the victorious Su Ping with awe and veneration.
Su Ping had demonstrated a strength superior to the other average advanced teachers. He was someone that could compete against Qin Yuanfeng!
Besides, Su Ping was much younger than Qin Yuanfeng. Therefore, the former had much more potential!
Lan He, who was standing by Luo Guxue, saw Su Ping in person for the first time. This one time had left a deep impression on him. The sentiment was similar to what the students felt at the moment. This young man was a winner, an invincible winner!
Students like Ye Hao and Luo Fengtian were talented young people.
Compared to them, Su Ping was an overlord among all those talents. He was the blessed one in this generation!
Zhou Yunchan felt something more than astonishment. He felt regret. He had offended such a person for nothing. Su Ping had the higher moral ground to begin with. Even if he didn’t, it would count as nothing if Su Ping had punished those students out of his own initiative.
This was a world where the powerful people ruled.
Su Ping was equipped with such strength at such a young age. In the future, there was a chance that he could become a legendary battle pet warrior!
If one day, by luck, Su Ping became a legendary battle pet warrior, and he sought to get back at their Berserking Blade Academy, one word of his could erase the academy from the planet.
The erasing would be complete and no one would dare to say its name again!
Just this thought alone left Zhou Yunchan covered with cold sweat. He hunched his back and shivered.
Luo Fengtian, Dai Yan, and the other students had turned numb after so many shocks. They were astonished time and time again since they met Su Ping not long before. At the moment, as Su Ping was making his way back, they were fearful that he would seek revenge.
Dai Yan, in particular, was with a heavy heart. He wished he could sneak underground so that Su Ping couldn’t see him.
Those that were close to Dai Yan glared at him in fury. They held a grudge against him. If Dai Yan had not been in Su Ping’s way, none of this would have happened. They would have returned in glory after winning a complete victory!
Su Ping didn’t even look at Luo Fengtian and the other students. They were not on his mind.
His disputes with them ended at the campus gate. He wouldn’t go after them.
“I think I’m done here. It’s time for me to go back,” Su Ping said to Dong Mingsong and nodded to Luo Guxue. He had to go because he was worried about his store. He had to pick out the pets for dummy training.
He checked the time. When he went back, it would be an hour, just the right time for the next batch of pets to be trained.
Dong Mingsong was speechless, seeing Su Ping acting so casually after causing this disturbance. “You, well…” The words tumbled around in Dong Mingsong’s mouth but eventually, he couldn’t utter a sentence.
Su Ping had more than that “master” to rely on. His strength was enough to defeat everyone present. Not even Dong Mingsong was certain he could win against him.
Luo Guxue came back to her senses. She suggested in a hurry, “I’ll see you out.”
“It’s okay. I know the way.” Su Ping understood that they surely had many trivial matters to handle after the matches. He didn’t want to bother her so he waved goodbye and left.
Zhou Yunchan wished to speak but stopped on second thought. He wanted to strike a conversation with Su Ping but the latter didn’t even look at him. Zhou Yunchan failed to find any chances to initiate the talk before Su Ping was gone.
Everyone looked at Su Ping. For a long time, nobody said a word.
Zhou Yunchan’s mind was weighed down. He was the first one to look away from Su Ping. He said to Dong Mingsong, “Dong, we were in the wrong for what happened today. I sincerely apologize to you. The Berserking Blade Academy will remain a friend for the Phoenix Peak Academy forever.”
With that said, he bowed to Dong Mingsong to his waist.
Dong Mingsong was contemptuous of Zhou Yunchan’s words. But, it was hard for the latter to adopt such an attitude in front of so many students. Dong Mingsong frowned and replied, “It’s nothing. The Phoenix Peak Academy was clearly defeated and we are willing to admit that.”
Zhou Yunchan forced a smile. He stood up straight and went on, “Dong, if you have the chance, could you please… apologize to this Mr. Su on my behalf? Or, maybe, you can introduce me to him?”
Dong Mingsong was a sly man. Naturally, he knew what Zhou Yunchan was worried about. Inside, Dong Mingsong was sneering. The previously aggressive Zhou Yunchan was then begging for mercy. However, a person that had been provoked would not simply forgive after some beautiful words. Everyone had pride!
“Well, you saw firsthand that I can barely get a chance to talk to Mr. Su. It took me great trouble to invite him here,” Dong Mingsong answered. Zhou Yunchan heaved a sigh since Dong Mingsong couldn’t help him out. Zhou Yunchan knew he had displeased this old friend of his. He didn’t continue this topic. Since Dong Mingsong would be unwilling to help and introduce him to Su Ping, Zhou Yunchan would have to rely on his connections to ask about Su Ping and then go there to apologize in person.
Su Ping left through the corridor. The teachers that were watching the matches on the sides turned to Su Ping as he walked by. Those teachers were excited and awed by him. They all nodded and greeted Su Ping.
Some of the senior teachers had been unwilling to admit that Su Ping was strong before. All of them had thought that he wasn’t qualified to be an advanced teacher given his young age. However, after this match, they no longer had any complaints about Su Ping being a teacher there.
If Su Ping wasn’t qualified enough to be an advanced teacher, then nobody else would have the right to be one.
Su Ping nodded as a reply to those greeting him.
Su Ping went to the emergency access and saw Cheng Shuanglin and Su Lingyue there. He was relieved to see Su Lingyue had recovered. He nodded to her and said, “Save me some meat tonight.”
Su Lingyue watched as Su Ping approached her. Everything felt like a dream. She even believed this wasn’t her loser brother because he was so unfamiliar.
However, Su Ping’s words dragged her out from that kind of strange feeling, instantly making him seem familiar all over again. She bit her lips. Many questions were on her mind and she wanted to seek some answers from Su Ping. Still, this was just not the right time or place for that. “You…” She bit her lips. “Are you hurt?”
As she voiced her question, she suddenly realized that she was actually worried about Su Ping. She immediately blushed. She felt she wasn’t herself at all. Why was that so!
Su Ping was surprised, seeing that she cared about him. He was happy about this. He patted her head and said, “Good. Don’t you like this? Just try to be a cute little sister. Your brother will cover your back as long as you behave.”
Su Lingyue’s well-combed hair was left in a mess when he moved his hand away.
Chen Linshuang, who was standing by the side, was so stunned her jaw dropped.
Su Lingyue didn’t expect Su Ping to be so intimate with her in public. She felt embarrassed so she slapped his hand. “Get your stinky hand away.”
She became her old self again. Su Ping smiled, waved them goodbye, and left.
Su Lingyue bit her lip as she watched Su Ping leave. She was filled with mixed feelings. She never thought that one day, Su Ping could achieve what she had dreamed of. This had completely shifted her view of him.
She even wondered if Su Ping had been hiding the fact that he had awakened at birth. Their family wasn’t wealthy enough and only one of them could be well cultivated. So, he gave the chance to her… That would be a touching story.
The more she pondered about this, the more convinced she was of it. Only by asking her mom could she find the answer.
While she was still brooding about those ideas, Cheng Shuanglin handed her a mirror and pointed to her hair, indicating that she could fix it.
Su Lingyue was confused. She threw a look at the mirror and then saw that mess on her head…
“Su-Ping!!!”
A bellow suddenly resounded in all the stadium. Those unaware even thought that another ferocious beast had arrived.
Someone that was close to the exit ran away at once.
