Su Ping inspected the status of his body attentively. He had just become a battle pet warrior.

He also had to admit that battle pet warriors and average people were worlds apart. Just on the front of antiquity alone, Su Ping had detected a great difference.

He had become lissome and his sight, hearing, and the rest of the five senses had become two times as acute as before!

“In the Federation, battle pet warriors are divided into nine ranks.

“Those from the first to the third ranks are elementary battle pet warriors; from the fourth to the sixth are intermediate battle pet warriors. The ones at the seventh rank are advanced battle pet warriors and those at the eighth rank are battle pet masters who enjoy a high status and can be qualified as professors in famous academies.

“As for the ninth rank battle pet warriors, the highest rank, they have t.i.tles conferred upon them and are admired by the public!”

“Beyond that rank are the legendary Beast King battle pet warriors. Each of such people is a legend. Their life experiences are adapted to movies and novels, so that their stories and exploits can be disseminated through the generations. People will still remember them even after a hundred years of their pa.s.sing!

“Just now, the original core talent has just awakened in me. I haven’t started the battle pet warrior’s training and there’s no astral power in me at all. I cannot even qualify as a first-rank battle pet warrior.

“Cultivation as a battle pet warrior…”

Cultivation had posed a conundrum for Su Ping.

He was no longer able to get admitted to Astral Pet academies given his age. After all, he had pa.s.sed the age limit. That is, unless he was admitted via special recruitment due to an outstanding performance.

The main knowledge source on cultivation for elementary battle pet warriors were the various Astral Pet academies.

While there were some cultivation methods of battle pet warriors posted online, they were superficial. There were no examples for practical applications.

“Do I have to… ask my sister for advice?”

Su Ping dismissed the idea as soon as it popped up, at the thought of her arrogant face.

No matter which way he looked at it, the chances of his sister being willing to teach him would be… zero. No, actually, below zero. He would be mercilessly mocked by her as well!

Su Ping shook his head. Anyways, he had become a battle pet warrior. He had to make a contract with a pet first.

Su Ping knew the basics of making a contract with a pet. This was no secret. Anyone with some fundamental understanding of pets would know.

“The number of pets a battle pet warrior can make a contract with is directly linked to spiritual power. The stronger the spiritual power is, the more pets can be contracted and the pets will be stronger as well!”

“Usually, a battle pet warrior cannot establish a contract with a pet that is two ranks higher than him/herself. Otherwise, the pressure on the spirit would hinder the mind, to descend into insanity until one became mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded!”

Su Ping was not even a first rank battle pet warrior. The kinds of pets that he could make contracts with were few and far between. Lucky for him, there was one in the store.

Remembering that Little Skeleton, Su Ping began to have second thoughts.

That little thing was of practically no value and it would take up a spot if he were to build a contract with it.

The more pets were contracted, the higher the pressure on the master’s mind would be.

“If I were to buy other pets when my strength could be improved over time, I would tie them down and their development would be suffocated because most pets with advanced bloodlines would stay in the first rank for a very short time.”

Su Ping frowned. As such, there was not much of a choice for him. He had to go with the low-rank pets.

Fortunately, he could remove the contract once he became more powerful in the future. Removing the contract would add a burden to his mind as well. Within three days, he would lose his combat abilities. That being said, with the protection of the pet store, such side effects could be ignored.

Having made up his mind, Su Ping stopped worrying. He went back to the lobby.

Slap!

The Little Skeleton seemed to be scared by Su Ping. It rolled down from the chair by the counter, then it fell to the ground, turning into a pile of bones that slowly rea.s.sembled.

Su Ping was speechless. This Little Skeleton appeared to be timid. This was rarely seen among pets of the demon family.

“Little guy, you will be my pet from now on.”

Su Ping moved closer. He picked up the Little Skeleton from the ground and placed it on the counter.
