Chapter 284 Eyesore

What an atrocity!

Fei Yanbo was visibly shocked. Bumping into this bloody scene was unexpected.

Drops of blood were still trailing down the walls. He could tell that the violent act took place one second before they arrived.

He believed he had heard some noises that indicated bones and internal organs being squeezed together and then exploding!

But there was no cry for help.

That was to say, the two died before they even had the chance to shout and beg for mercy!

Fei Yanbo stared at Su Ping. A trace of fear was visible in the former’s eyes. The young titled battle pet warrior was the only one that could kill people within a split second! Standing around him, Luo Fengtian and the other students stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

Su Lingyue stood there; her mind was blank.

She couldn’t fully understand what had happened for a second.

Then, the strong smell of blood assaulted her senses and the spatter of blood fell into her sight. Finally, she reacted; out of instinct, she felt the urge to vomit. She began to gag.

She coughed violently and only threw up some saliva.

The benefit of her training in the barren area came into play. What she saw had a strong visual impact. However, she had experienced the barren area, having seen deaths, blood oozing in front of her, as well as human skeletons left in the ruins.

Death was always close. It was just the walls of the base city that had isolated death from the public.

She wiped away the saliva around her mouth and turned around to look at Su Ping.

The person she thought she knew stayed completely undisturbed, as if it were merely two chickens that he had just pinched to death.

How can he stay so calm?!

Su Lingyue felt she couldn’t think straight.

“Sir… sir…”

The two middle-aged advanced battle pet warriors had digested what had happened. Scared, they were at a loss about what to do.

The man was too young. They wondered if he was in fact a young person or someone that had taken some pills to stay young.

Either way, he was undoubtedly a titled battle pet warrior because he had pinched two fifth-rank battle pet warriors to death!

“Yes?”

Su Ping looked over as if he had only noticed those two people now. He saw the blood spilled to their suits. “I am sorry about getting your clothes dirty.” He apologized indifferently.

He said “sorry” in his mouth but the apology was absent from his facial expression. He did not mean his apology at all.

The two middle-aged men forced a bitter smile. Of course, they didn’t expect a sincere apology from a titled battle pet warrior over a trivial matter like getting their clothes dirty. At the same time, the two middle-aged men did find it troublesome that the titled battle pet warrior had killed people right in front of them.

The two deceased young men were not quite talented and yet they were from the Liu family after all. Even if they had been born in a branch of the Liu Family, that didn’t make them any less part of the Liu Family.

But the two young men had been murdered, witnessed by the middle-aged men.

No amount of effort could ever cover up such an incident. The Liu family would turn the world upside down!

“Sir, I wonder what they did to upset you. You could have told us and we would have helped you seek justice according to the law!” one of the middle-aged men said, in a fawning manner.

He remained humble and at the same time, he used his words to define their position in case they were accused of a negative act when the incident was investigated.

“Their ugliness offended my eyes.” That was Su Ping’s reply.

The two middle-aged men were stunned speechless after listening to his answer. Su Ping didn’t even bother to make up an excuse.

The two middle-aged men had some idea of the reason.

The moment they saw the girl with Su Ping, they had come to the understanding that Su Ping was most likely from the store that was competing against Primo.

Neither the Liu Family nor the store that had the Inferno Dragon as the guard were forces that they could afford to displease. As a matter of fact, the two middle-aged men’s leaders specifically told them not to offend the emerging Pixie Pet Store.

As for the exact reason, they were in the dark.

They did work out some general theory based on the fact that the store would place an Inferno Dragon by the door.

Su Ping kept silent; the two middle-aged men were clearly embarrassed. He took a look at the stretcher and the trembling Adorkable Grasses. Su Ping stopped exuding his killing intent and sent a friendly mental message to the Adorkable Grasses to comfort them.

The two Adorkable Grasses finally became less nervous but they remained scared of Su Ping.

Having settled the matter, Su Ping did not linger; he turned back and went the way he came from.

Su Lingyue came back to her senses. She took one last look at the blood-tainted hallway, bit her lips, and went after Su Ping.

Fei Yanbo, Luo Fengtian, and the other students were standing there, as if frozen on the spot. Only after Su Ping was farther away did Fei Yanbo find the strength to take a breath. He found his own reaction strange.

Su Ping killed the two people who wished to harm his sister. Why would I be nervous?

Fei Yanbo was speechless. He wondered if Su Ping had left a mark on him because of the intimidating past.

Luo Fengtian and the other students looked at each other. They were all ghastly pale.

They weren’t frightened by what they had seen. After all, they had gone to the barren area and had experienced a fair share of furious battles. They had the heart to endure the cruelty. They were just thinking about their fight against this freaky man back at the Phoenix Peak Academy. That may very well have been the most impulsive and “bravest” action in all of their lives.

The girl with the ponytail was still in a daze. When she realized she could ask about this, she suddenly found her teacher and her friends in a strange state, as if they were fearful of something.

Later, as she heard what the two middle-aged men said, the girl finally understood what had happened. However, she was still puzzled.

Su Ping and Su Lingyue went back to their seats.

Fresh air and the audiences’ cheers overwhelmed them at the same time. Su Ping stopped and took a glance at the stage on which the test was still ongoing. He heard Su Lingyue following him. Without looking back, he cautioned her, “Those two from the Liu family are dead. The Liu family will send more people to target you and attack you later during the games later. You must be prepared.”

There was a bee in Su Lingyue’s head as she came back with Su Ping.

She wondered why Su Ping had turned into a stranger, a seasoned warrior that was battle-scarred.

Su Ping suddenly talking had startled her. Only then did she notice they were going back to their seats. Looking at his back, Su Lingyue said after a moment of hesitation, “Why didn’t you exercise patience… since you know the Liu family will get mad?”

Su Ping turned around and fixedly stared at her. “Can you exercise patience till you win the championship? Let’s say you can… Will they let you?”

Su Lingyue moved her lips but no sound came out.

She knew the answer was no.

“Provoking our enemies can disturb their plan. If they try to stop you in the competition, just defeat them. Use them as your stepping stones to the championship. Remember to trust your pets. They are quite strong,” Su Ping advised.

Su Lingyue remembered how the Phantom Flame Beast went out of its mind to protect her, which filled her heart with warmth. “I understand.” She nodded.

“Defeat those who come with hostile intent.

“Kill those who come with murderous intent.”

Su Ping kept a straight face as he went on, “Do not be softhearted in the following matches. Let your pets take the lead. They know how to protect their master.”

Su Lingyue nodded again. All of a sudden, she noticed something. She could understand his first sentence but not the second one. Why did she feel like he was telling her to stay out of the way and not give wrongful commands to her pets?

She darted a glance at Su Ping and he was looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

Their eye contact lasted for merely one second and Su Lingyue was able to tell what Su Ping was thinking. URGH. He WAS implying that!

“All right. Today’s initial match is over. We’ll come back tomorrow.” Su Ping rubbed her head and walked away.

The schedule and rules had been published online in advance. After all, it was an international Elite League and dozens had been held. The public was already familiar with such information.
