Chapter 514 - The Immortal Dragons Soul (2/2)

Only a few t.i.tled battle pet warriors who had taken the trouble to get to know Su Ping knew about the battle pet that he seldom used. “Is Mr. Su back?”

Su Ping was back. What about the Otherworld Heavenly King? Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

The t.i.tled battle pet warriors rushed to Su Ping.

Venerable the Blade and Qin Duhuang killed the beasts in their surroundings and ran to meet the python, too.

The snake pet wiggled forward regardless of the many t.i.tled battle pet warriors. Not even Qin Duhuang was able to make the python stop.

Suddenly, the python heard something. It stopped and opened its mouth.

Su Ping sat up. He had recovered a bit on the way back and was finally able to move about on his own.

He flew out from the Purple Python’s mouth and stood on its head. He cast a tender look at the scattered bones of the Little Skeleton and patted its white bones.

“Mr. Su!”

“Mr. Su, you’re back.”

People happily called his name.

Mu Beihai asked, “Mr. Su, where is the Otherworld Heavenly King?”

Those who hailed from other base cities were asking about who that Mr. Su was. They gazed at the young man in a daze. It turned out that Mr. Su was a young man; they had thought Mr. Su was some legendary battle pet warrior who had remained incognito all this time.

“He is the Fate Challenger!”

Someone who partic.i.p.ated in the Supremacy League recognized Su Ping right away. It was a surprise that Mr. Su was the Fate Challenger who had created a scene during the Supremacy League!

That person who had dared to kill a legendary battle pet warrior was there, in the Longjiang Base City!

“It got away,” Su Ping said in a low voice. A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes and vanished.

Still, that was amazing news.

The fact that Su Ping looked so unhappy left the other people speechless.

A Heavenly King had been pursued by a human being, one person! Such a piece of news was so stunning, it would not only rock the Longjiang Base City but the whole world!

The legendary battle pet warriors would be petrified!

Those who were aware that Su Ping was a Fate Challenger wondered if he had made the breakthrough to the legendary rank in a couple of days, back when he was at the t.i.tled rank, during the Supremacy League. Otherwise, how could a t.i.tled battle pet warrior have the ability to fight a monster like the Heavenly King? Su Ping looked around the battlefield. The wild beasts were running and a large number of them had been slaughtered. The ground was drenched in blood, covered in beast corpses. The dead beast kings stood out.

Su Ping clenched his fists.

The thought of the Inferno Dragon pained him.

Suddenly, he heard a feeble voice. “Master…”

Su Ping was struck dumb.

Was that… the Inferno Dragon?

Was it still alive?!

Abruptly, Su Ping stood up and looked around.

People were baffled by the sudden movement.

But Su Ping didn’t care what they were thinking. Finally, he saw a faint, golden figure in the air.

It was the Inferno Dragon!

Boom!

Although his astral power reserve was almost empty, Su Ping squeezed out the rest and dashed toward that golden figure as fast as he could.

The familiarity told him that it was the Inferno Dragon. It was right there!

The golden figure floated in the air, unable to move otherwise; even turning around was incredibly slow. The Inferno Dragon was happy to see Su Ping approaching. Su Ping on the verge of tears but he held them back. He suddenly noticed that the bond of the contract between him and the Inferno Dragon was feeble but it was there.

Su Ping wasn’t sure about the state of the Inferno Dragon.

It had no tangible body; it was more like a ball of energy.

Is this the Inferno Dragon’s soul?

He didn’t know; he had no idea about what to do.

“That is the dragon’s soul.”

The system jumped out. It sounded solemn; there was a trace of emotion in its voice, which was different from how it usually sounded like.

“That monster just destroyed its body. The dragon must have learned skills to refine its soul before. I think that is because it has spent a lot of time with you and the Little Skeleton. The dragon learns to save its soul in critical times. The soul remains also because of the spring you bathed in.”

Su Ping asked at once, “What do I do now? Can the Inferno Dragon recover?”

“The body is gone, and the soul is exposed to nature. If it weren’t for the Divine Energy, the soul would have been sucked into the world of the dead and your contract would have been terminated. That would be ‘death’ as you humans know it.

“You will have to visit the world of dragons and find the dragon origin to help your dragon rebuild its body and bloodline. I also suggest you find an herb called Soul Nurturer to refine the soul as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Divine Energy won’t last long enough. At this rate, the soul won’t last more than three days.”

So, I have to find the herb in three days? Where should I even begin?

He asked the system.

“That is your problem, not mine,” the system answered. Su Ping bit his teeth.

He didn’t blame the system, though. He was grateful enough that the system had offered him some guidance. “Can I take it to the contract s.p.a.ce? Will the soul last longer there?”

“You can but still, you have three days.”

Su Ping was in a gloomy mood but he still chose to call the Inferno Dragon’s soul back.

“Wait for me. I will find a way to bring you back to life. I will not let you vanis.h.!.+” Su Ping said to the Inferno Dragon’s soul.

The Inferno Dragon replied with a weak voice, “I will not fall…” It promised.

Su Ping clenched his fist. His eagerness to finish off the Otherworld Heavenly King became more intense.

Su Ping went back after the Inferno Dragon’s soul was retrieved. He asked Qin Duhuang and the others without delay, “Have you heard about some herb called Soul Nurturer?”

The system could not help him. He had to rely on those people and Joanna.

If they didn’t know, he would go and ask Joanna.

“Soul Nurturer?”

No one expected that question.

“I haven’t heard of it,” someone answered with a timid voice.

The others shook their heads.

Su Ping turned to Venerable the Blade. He had been working with a legendary battle pet warrior, so he might be versed enough to know.

Venerable the Blade had never seen Su Ping so anxious before. Although unwilling, he shook his head in denial.

Su Ping’s mind felt heavy.

Suddenly Qin Duhuang said, “I think I’ve heard of it.”

Su Ping’s eyes glowed. “Where can I find it?”

“I’ve heard about it from Xie Jinshui. I think the herb is… at the Tower.” Qin Duhuang sounded uncertain. “We were drinking and he mentioned it in pa.s.sing. You’ll have to ask him.”
