Astral Pet Store – Chapter 209
“Sh*t,”
The golden dragon was too fast for him to avoid. The only thing he could do in time was to put up his astral shield. A golden figure pierced through the shield and hit his forehead.
Bang out!
Su Ping felt the entire world spinning around him for a moment but it was painful. When he could think clearly again, he felt something strangely hot moving along his head as if he was bleeding.
He put a hand on his forehead and felt a small lump on his skin.
Whatwhat the fuck?? This had never happened inside the virtual dragon tower!
The feeling of heat suddenly returned, not on his skin, but directly inside his brain this time.
He saw pictures passing through his sight. The images of the ancient and barren land that was struck by constant lightning and hurricanes, as if some sort of apocalypse ending the world had arrived.
A huge golden dragon with five claws appeared from a distance and flew into the clouds above.
Su Ping looked at the towering silhouette of something hidden among the clouds, from which a bolt of lightning like other blades descended and shattered the scaly body of the dragon.
For a moment, the picture became too bright for him to see.
When he could open his eyes, he saw the familiar “medan war” inside the dragon tower again.
Another message miraculously flashed through his mind, allowing him to understand what had just happened. What he had just seen was the last moment the ancient dragon king had before being killed. Also, it was not “bump” on his forehead caused by injury, but “mark quali” he received by defeating the last enemy in the tower.
He was then allowed to go for the legacy of the dragon king, the last legacy. He had to wait until all “segel” within the different sectors were lifted by the explorers, at which time those with the mark would be called to the location of the last experiment.
Furthermore, the qualification mark had many interesting effects by itself.
First of all, he could use the mark to directly enter this Mysterious Realm even if the entrance was closed.
Second, the mark allowed him to summon the dragon soul to aid him in the fight during dangerous situations. It seems that this ancient dragon king generously gave him this privilege to protect him, so as not to lose the rare “” successor who could inherit his gift. The sign can also help him directly travel to the selected sector while also informing him whether “segel” in the sector has been revoked or not.
And he was very surprised when he read the general situation regarding those sectors. Apparently, 95 sectors had already been cleared, not 57, as people used to tell him. This means the final legacy trial will emerge once the remaining 14 sectors are explored.
“Job. So this is why many treasures have been taken. 95 sectors. Something suspicious is happening. Someone is trying to hide the true progress of the people.”
Butwhy?
“Maybe the manager of this place already know about the legacy? They let people in so they can unlock sectors faster, which in turn…
“Wait, if this is true, then the ‘best record of tower challenge should be fake as well. Maybe someone has reached the last floor.”
He did know about the dragon king's inheritance land, but he had yet to learn about the final trial. He needs information.
He considered for a moment, then he took out the magic scroll. Inside, he saw Tang Ruyan sitting quietly beside the Anima Fruit Tree with a bored look, instead of looking for a way out.
“What do you know about dragon tower?” Su Ping asked by sending his voice inside, which sounded like thunder booming in Tang Ruyan's perspective.
Tang Ruyan was happy that she finally had the chance to negotiate with her captor. He had tried to get out of that strange prison to no avail. Talking to Su Ping meant opening up new options.
He wondered why Su Ping wanted to know about the dragon tower. But in hindsight, he decided not to ask such a ridiculous question when this man was strong enough to kill the title-awarded warriors.
“Ehem.” He stood up and put on an unfriendly gaze while looking at Su Ping face, which appeared as a gigantic image on it. “I'll tell you after you let me go. Let's make a deal: free me, and I'll go and forget everything that happened. You will also consider this stupid tree as it is. Or-“
“Awnspond my question. You're not in a place to bargain with me. ”
“You-hmph! You know what? You can kill me then! ” Tang Ruyan threatened by putting her hands on a tree nearby. “I'm not afraid of death! But you will never see your precious tree again!”.
Tang Ruyan smirked as her plan worked.
“Let's see ..” he spoke without moving away from the tree. “I don't know much. Remember that I can't teach you how to climb higher. If you don't know yet, I just reached the sixth floor last time. What goes beyond that point is.. well, it is beyond my reach.”
“Do you know who has gone the furthest now? Which floor have they reached?”
Tang Ruyan gave him a strange look. “What, you want to leave your name on the Pioneer Rank as well? I think the current champion is Ye Tianming of the Ye Family in Longjiang City. I heard that he was going to go to the seventh floor but he hasn't really done it yet. People say that he has worked very hard this year. He also got a rare pet or something. If you ask me, I think he will soon reach his destination.”
Su Ping frowned. Once he finds out “fake” news regarding the number of sectors he managed to explore, he will never trust the so-called lists and news available to the general public.
“Pioneer Rank? Whatisit? Is it reliable? Are you sure it has everyone's name? Maybe someone went very far but without being recorded.”
Tang Ruyan looked displeased as Su Ping openly questioned the authenticity of the ranking list she had fought for. He knew Su Ping was good enough to become the next champion, but his trust was looked down upon still hurt.
“...It only shows young challengers, maybe. The old fighting pet soldiers did not bother to write their names on the list. ”
“So so. Did you know that a legacy awaits at the end of the Mysterious Realm?
Tang Ruyan frowned. “Longestions? What legacy?”
Su Ping sighed in disappointment.
“Ck. Not even the Tang Family came to play? Numbers.”
Tang Ruyan was smart enough to catch what Su Ping implied. And when he did, he could no longer remain calm.
“There's legacy?? Whose legacy? Wait .. could it be the ancient dragon king? But that meant it was something left behind by the king of the beast kings! I would never think .. Hey-hey, who told you this? Do you know what this means?? More importantly, how do we find this legacy? Don't tell me it's tower—”
Su Ping lost interest as this woman obviously did not have anything she could use.
“Same as before, take care of the tree. One leaf is missing and I'll put your head on the plate.”
He left the scroll, leaving Tang Ruyan staring at the open sky.
But—but he didn't think I'd actually destroy the tree??
He can't do it. The tree was the only thing that kept him alive, and he knew very well that.
“FUCK YOU PLEASE YOU!!”
The woman stomped her feet furiously, but quickly stopped when she heard the tree rustling dangerously.
Su Ping put down the scroll and carefully inspected what he had just heard. Although Tang Ruyan did not tell much, she still learned something from the way she acted.
First, even the biggest families and clans are unaware of the hidden truth, which means the “dalang” behind it all could be a legendary warrior, since the titled warrior was unlikely to hide such an important clue from the rest of the world.
“Pionir” Rank is unbelievable because even the top rank does not know that someone has climbed any further.
Lastly, Tang Ruyan was smart but also simple-minded when she was annoyed. Utilize
o learning about the Tang Family should be easy.
