Chapter 408 - Yuan Family Girl (1/2)

So, this was the beginning, huh? Su Ping said to himself. A golden mark appeared between his eyebrows. Some force was waking up inside him, trying to drag him away.

But soon, hindered by something, the golden mark lost strength.

Su Ping: ??

Just then, he sensed he was about to be teleported away but that strength disappeared.

Did the teleportation fail?

He could not believe this. He thought he could go there with a mere thought no matter where he was.

All of a sudden, he realized something. He was still in the store’s territory. That had to be something the Dragon King had failed to antic.i.p.ate.

He quickly walked out of the door.

“Where are you going?” asked Tang Ruyan in surprise, as she was commanding the two Liu Family elders.

Out of instinct, Su Ping darted a look at her bottom. He cleared his throat. “I have some errands to run. Take care of the store with Joanna. Do not leave the store.”

Tang Ruyan had no home to return to and the three Tang Family elders were still there. Su Ping was not worried that she would run away so he didn’t send her into the scroll this time.

Tang Ruyan raised her eyebrows but said nothing else other than, “Take care and hurry back.”

Su Ping said yes and then stepped out of the store. He flew up to the sky across the street, an area not included in the store’s domain.

Teleport!

The golden mark emerged between Su Ping’s eyebrows again. The next second, a beam of golden light covered him up. With a whoos.h.i.+ng sound, he vanished on the spot.

His disappearance stunned Tang Ruyan speechless.

The two Liu family elders and the rest of the Liu family members who had gone there to clean up the street were gazing with wide-open eyes as well. What was that about?!

Su Ping opened his eyes. He found himself standing in an ancient and desolate land. In front of him was a huge dragon’s skeleton. It had once been the old Dragon King. No flesh remained over the bones. There seemed to be something inside the eye sockets that were gazing at him.

This is…

The area above the ninth dragon bone.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He was not afraid of the dragon skeleton. But he was interested in the girl who was climbing up the dragon bones.

While he was thinking, a bubble-like item jumped out in front of him. There was a projection on the item, showing the view of the tower.

Some battle pet warriors were wearing black armor standing in front of the tower.

Those were all advanced battle pet warriors; all of them exuded an intimidating aura. Standing in front of them were several t.i.tled battle pet warriors.

By the door was someone Su Ping was familiar with. It was the old man who had been defeated by Joanna.

Su Ping’s expression became grave as he looked at the old man.

Joanna could defeat this old man within one move but he couldn’t.

The Little Skeleton had a combat strength of 16. Theoretically speaking, the Little Skeleton was able to kill those who had just reached the legendary rank. However, Su Ping had yet to gain a clear idea about the old man’s actual strength.

Joanna was at the legendary rank but his combat strength was at 29.6 and should have progressed to 30 by then.

The legendary rank covered a wide range. Su Ping suspected that the most powerful legendary battle pet warriors could have a combat strength of over 100!

He based his speculation on the scoring system of legendary skills. If that were the case, then those at the peak of the legendary rank could be more than ten times stronger than those at the entry-level. The gap was even wider than that between battle pet warriors at the peak and the lower position of the t.i.tled rank!

Battle pet warriors at the peak could kill those at the lower position, which also applied to the legendary rank. Su Ping couldn’t afford to underestimate the old man whom he had not fought against yet. In reality, he had but one life. He would not take the risk to fight the old man unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, on the off chance that the old man’s combat strength was at 20, the Little Skeleton might not be able to stop him!

Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the old man merely had a combat strength just a bit over 10. In that case, the Little Skeleton would easily subdue him.

A fifty-fifty chance.

“The fifth bone already…”.
