Chapter 79 - Seventh Rank (1/2)

There was a huge plaza outside the venue.

Many students who had brought their relatives to the compet.i.tion stadium were still strolling around.

Su Ping was surprised to find that it was as the news reported. The Phoenix Peak Academy had set off a storm of Lightning Rats. Among the students he had seen along the way, seven had a purple-furred Lightning Rat with them.

Those unaware would think that it was a school that specialized in cultivating Lightning Rats.

Su Yanying noticed Su Ping’s expression and said with a smile, “Boss, this is all thanks to you.”

Su Ping chuckled.

The three of them entered the stadium. The interior of the hall was huge, enough to accommodate a hundred thousand people.

Su Yanying and Lan Lele were clearly very familiar with the place, as they navigated through the complex sections and pa.s.sageways with ease. Very soon, they arrived at a place with front row seats; the view was very good. This was the area from where the uppercla.s.smen would watch the compet.i.tion.

“Look, it’s Jiang Bingshan.” Lan Lele pouted.

At this moment, a man and a woman were engaged in a fierce battle in the stadium’s arena. However, although the battle seemed intense, it was just gaudy; not much lethality was involved. Even so, the atmosphere of the arena was pumped; people cheered uncontrollably.

Su Yanying glanced for a moment and then looked away. She was very calm.

“This time, she barely made it into the top eight. I heard that the academy a.s.signed her to a second-level team. She had to serve in a Cla.s.s C barren area for a year before she could be promoted to an official settler.” Lan Lele’s face was full of smiles, but her tone was dripping with a sense of schadenfreude. “Now, she can’t be arrogant in front of you anymore. You’re being fought over by those first-level battle teams. Once you reach the barren areas, you’ll become an official settler.

Besides, you only need to serve in the Cla.s.s C barren area for three months before you’re sent for training in a Cla.s.s B barren area. Your growth rate will definitely surpa.s.s her. It is not impossible for you to become a t.i.tled battle pet warrior in the future.”

Su Yanying looked at the tall and proud figure on the stage and sighed. She knew that she was only lucky to have met Su Ping. Otherwise, with her pets, she would only be able to enter the top eight at best; they were on par with her compet.i.tor’s.

But fate was like this. From then on, she would rise up and grow rapidly, completely severing this compet.i.tive relations.h.i.+p.

She would meet new opponents and see a wider world. All of this would turn into memories of the past.

“Barren area? Battle team?” Su Ping heard the two girls’ words and thought of Fan Yujing’s sister, Fan Xiaoyu. She was also a student of this school, but she had already entered the barren area for training.

He asked, “Do you all become settlers after graduation?”

Lan Lele shook her head and said, “Yingying will; It’s her dream. But I won’t. Even if I’m willing, my father won’t let me. Besides, I don’t want to go to a G.o.dforsaken place like a barren area. I can’t even shower every day.”

Su Yanying smiled and said, “That’s nothing if it means I can become a powerful battle pet warrior.”

Lan Lele pursed her lips. “Why should I become a powerful battle pet warrior? Even if I’m an eighth-rank battle pet warrior, I’m still my father’s bodyguard. There’s nothing in this world that money can’t resolve—unless you don’t have enough money. Earning money is the most important thing!”

Su Yanying smiled bitterly. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to find a common ground with her in this topic. The environment of their upbringing was different, and everyone pursued their dreams differently.

“Isn’t this Su Yanying?” Suddenly, a gentle and calm voice could be heard. The few of them turned around and saw three people walking in their direction, two of them trailing behind like lackeys. The young man walking in front was dressed in casual clothes. He had short hair and looked very spirited. His eyes were deep and warm, but he had a sharpness that could burst out at any moment. His temperament was restrained, but his outstanding persona would attract everyone’s attention wherever he went.
