The Astral Pet Store
The Chapter 208
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 208
The entire waiting room became silent as people silently gawked at the most magical sight they had ever seen in their entire lives.
Someone reached the ninth level, the tip of the dragon tower!
The owner of the best “” record known by most people is the young master of some famous families across the continent like Tang Ruyan, who stopped at the sixth level. No one knew what the last level was like, although they were quite sure that it was definitely harder compared to the sixth.
Ordinary people on the ground were not the only ones stunned. In the sky, the veterans of the pet warriors including Venerable the Blade were also dumbfounded.
In fact, they knew better than anyone else that beating the top floor of the tower was an impossible task. If the challenger was a titled warrior like them, it meant that the last enemy waiting at the end was the Beast King or even something higher — kings than the Beast King.
Defeating the king of the Beast Kings? It was an unprecedented feat in all of human history.
Unlike ordinary humans and Astral Pets that were categorized from the first to ninth rank, it was, “kings of all kings” no longer needs such exaggerated labels as it is undeniably deadlier than the strongest Beast King. Even the best human warriors like Venerable the Blade could only escape while praying for forgiveness, if they were to truly meet the king above all kings.
Furthermore, the soldiers who had the title of watching the tower happened to know a fact that was usually kept secret, preventing it from becoming common knowledge. This tower was not only a training ground to test the various abilities of people, but also a trial ground to select qualified winners, who would receive the powerful heritage passed down in this Mysterious Realm.
“We need to find out who is there! Now!”
“It can't be a warrior with another title like us. Even the warrior with the best title in the country could not kill the Beast King without help. Not to mention that this ancient dragon soul is not your ordinary Beast King. ”
“Then it must be young! What should we do, Your Majesty? Should we tell Lord Gen about this? ”
“His daughter completed the eighth level last time, right? And he asked us not to tell anyone. But here we are, someone openly reaching the final level when everyone is looking! Don't tell me he'll get the inheritance, too. How do we explain this to Lord Gen ??”
“Confusing it! Which family sent this one?”
The real purpose of the event is not to generously hand out freebies to treasure hunters, but to lure free workers to explore unknown sectors, which was mandatory if they wanted to follow the final trial, after which the true legacy held in this Mysterious Realm would be revealed.
This was why all the titled warriors who knew of this secret plan were alarmed when they saw that someone had reached the final level of the tower when the sectors had not been completely cleaned up. Knowledge of the last legacy is mostly rumors. They were unsure whether defeating the tower challenge back then would hamper their plans or not.
Venerable the Blade stared at the shining tower for longer, before he took out the device from his pocket.
“Mr Jen?”
“Ah, is there something, Your Highness, my friend?” The soft voice of an old man came from the speakers.
“... There was a man who had just entered the last floor of the dragon tower, sir. Do you want to come and have a look?”
There was a brief silence.
The old man's voice turned violent. “Jaga entrance. I'll be there soon.”
“Of course, Mr.”
The other titled warrior was slightly jolted as he felt the killing intent carried by that merciless voice.
Then they all wondered what would happen to this unlucky challenger if it continued this way. Death, perhaps, because the legacy they seek has been kept strictly by a powerful legendary pet warrior. No one in this country can live through the fury of a legendary warrior. Not even the master of a large family.
There were only two legendary warriors in the entire subcontinent, while Lord Gen was one of them. With such strength, Lord Gen did not need to do much to dominate people from all walks of life. And he would absolutely not allow anyone to randomly take what was rightfully his.
“Sigh.. A young man who reached the last floor. I have to say this is new to me. ”
“This is really scary, I said! If I remember correctly, the daughter of Lord Gen was born to be a high-level battle pet warrior, right? With Lord Gen's careful teaching, he had all the perfect resources he could hope for. Even so, he was stopped on the eighth floor. Who would have thought that someone would defeat him? ” “Seele monster. It should..”
“Heh. Monster or not, he won't be alive anymore since he infuriated Lord Gen.”
“Which clan is he from? And didn't they tell him not to go this far? It's stupid..”
They more or less felt uneasy, knowing that such a promising young man, who would most likely become another legendary warrior, would be killed early in his life.
Venerable the Blade did not join the discussion as he once again stared at the tower, deep in thought.
Unlike the previous floor which was mostly empty, the last floor of the tower was an ancient battlefield where piles of corpses and monster bones were strewn everywhere.
As usual, Su Ping remained behind the hard scales of the Purple Python, while commanding his three other pets to deal with the older dragon soul, which seems to be in the top nine.
The fight was rather difficult; this ancient soul knew many strange yet effective battle techniques. Although everything was still in Su Ping judgment because he had challenged him many times before.
“Hound, lock with Dark Chain!” “Sketone Small, use Skeleton King’s Roar!”
“Dragon of Hell, dig a hole under it!”
Following his previous experience, Su Ping managed to maintain the lead. He had fought and died for the dragon soul so many times that he could predict his next move by looking at his movements, before he told his pet to react accordingly.
It took him less than ten minutes to finish the fight.
Since the “bos last” tower was no different from the one he had encountered in the virtual inheritance land, he was then 100% sure that this Mysterious Realm was completely identical to the land of the dragon king's legacy.
“Heh. Thank you, system. I wouldn't have gone this far without you.”
He thought the battle had ended when the dragon soul disappeared. But instead of disappearing completely, it suddenly started to shine brighter.
Under his shocked gaze, the soul changed shape and became a slender-bodied golden dragon with five claws.
While he was still trying to identify what was happening in the blinding light, a new enemy attacked him.
