Chapter 877: The Forbidden Mountain

Both Claesabe and Ibetaluna—who had just finished their battles—were shocked after hearing what Su Ping said, instantly seeing that eight men were rushing at them!

“Crap!”

“We need to replenish ourselves!”

Their expressions changed; they quickly took healing drugs after seeing the newcomers.

Once the two had recovered, they flew back to join Su Ping.

“It’s Heller!”

“He’s shown remarkable performances, and is the twelfth on the popularity rank. A tough guy!”

Claesabe’s expression changed once more; she was going to ask Su Ping about the strategy to adopt when the latter simply issued a command.

“Rob them!”

Roar!!

An intimidating roar was heard; the Inferno Dragon flew over, its body blocking the sky. Lightning bolts were slithering on its purple body and golden scales, making it look extremely daunting.

“Well…”

Both of them were stunned. He’s going to rob them without saying a word?

Ibetaluna also took action. Being the strongest heir from the Knight King family, she always acted in a manly fashion even though she was a woman. She drew her spear and roared, “Kill them!”

Several demonic pets appeared next to her. Her family had ancient techniques to subdue demonic beasts, that was the reason why it was easy for them to domesticate such beasts.

After merging with a pet, she marched out first emitting a demonic vibe.

Claesabe was stunned for a second. Then, he also became solemn and summoned his pets to catch up with the Inferno Dragon.

“Huh?”

On their opposite side—Heller was leading seven men forward, until they heard the unexpected roar.

Two strangers were already moving toward them when they realized what was going on.

“Are they… students from the Amir Royal Academy?”

“Indeed. He’s Claesabe, third place on the Royal Rank, and one of the first guys to secure ten victories!”

Heller—standing in the middle—wasn’t at all panicked. He said coldly, “Let me handle him. You guys take care of that woman and the dragon. There’s another observer farther away that I can’t see clearly, but it doesn’t matter. He’s probably too scared to attack.”

“Great!”

All his companions were relieved to hear that and accepted the task.

It should be easy for the rest of them to beat the woman and the dragon if Claesabe, whom they were most afraid of, was kept occupied by Heller.

Heller was the acting leader, but they weren’t his lackeys. They had also secured ten victories anyway; none of them was a random contestant at this point.

If all of them were to fight against the same target, not even Heller himself would have a chance to beat them!

A battle soon broke out. Heller merged with his dragon and charged at Claesabe.

The other seven people directly went after Ibetaluna and the dragon. It was exactly then that a resounding dragon roar seemed to be coming from a deep abyss.

A majestic vibe arose and suppressed everything.

Heller, who was charging at Claesabe, changed his expression. There was a momentary surge of fear in his eyes.

The other seven people were even more stunned.

They had been intimidated only briefly, but Ibetaluna seized the chance and beat one of them. The man was relocated when her spear was about to pierce through the opponent’s body, only leaving his identity badge behind.

The shock sobered them up, not expecting the dragon to be that horrifying.

All of them had the impression of seeing a mountain of bodies and a giant dragon that eclipsed the sun, although briefly. The roar was the dragon’s mental attack that was able to deter inferior creatures.

“As expected of Brother Su’s best pet!”

“That is horrifying!”

Claesabe and Ibetaluna were also shocked by the dragon’s strength, but they quickly became excited. They could fight without worries since Su Ping was watching their backs.

They knew that the Inferno Dragon was as strong as Dragon Devil!

The latter was one of the best contestants at the moment, only second to the top geniuses such as Dragon Emperor and the Sword God’s heir.

“What a strong dragon!”

“Is it Fist King’s pet?”

“I thought he would personally take action, but he only sent out his pet.”

A lot of the people watching the stream saw this; they were surprised and excited.

On the Blue Planet—

Ji Yuanfeng, Qin Duhuang, Xie Jinshui and the others were thrilled to see the Inferno Dragon.

All of them had watched that dragon grow up.

It used to act as mascot and watchdog in Su Ping’s shop.

To think it would grow up in the vast Federation with the power to awe the monstrous geniuses!

“It’s grown so much by Boss Su’s side, even though it only has a ninth-rank bloodline!”

“Boss Su never replaced it with another pet. They share a strong bond, wouldn’t you say?”

“Boss Su owns a pet store. Have you noticed that Boss Su has been using the same pets all this time?”

“His pets aren’t restricted by their bloodlines? Someone told me that if a pet is close enough to its master, it can go through special evolutions that would allow them to exceed their bloodline restrictions!”

Everybody was excited as they learned something new about pets.

The Inferno Dragon was a local pet of the Blue Planet that only had a ninth-rank bloodline; it wasn’t worth mentioning, at all. Those of Legend rank weren’t interested in such pets… And yet, Su Ping was making it fight in a universal contest, letting it shine.

Battles were taking place everywhere on the void continent.

Su Ping’s battle had only attracted some of the audience’s attention, but their total number was still fairly large. After all, everybody across the galaxy was watching the competition; only the adventurers who were busy exploring treasure troves had no time to spare for this.

A few minutes later—

Heller, who was still fighting against Claesabe, roared and unleashed a ball of divine power that pushed him away. He looked at his faltering companions and declared angrily, “You will answer for this!”

He turned around and fled without hesitation as he made that declaration.

It was pointless for him to stay. The woman was not to be underestimated; she was only a tad weaker than Claesabe. The dragon was even more terrifying!

Claesabe changed his expression and roared, “Stop!”

He wanted to chase after Heller, but the latter had already dashed into the tertiary space.

“Freeze!”

Exactly at that moment, as if time were frozen, Heller’s movement was paused in the tertiary space. His eyes widened with fear.

In the meantime, a person appeared in front of him and gently laid his hand on his face.

The hand contained such a horrifying power that it seemed about to destroy his body. That was the aura of laws!

Heller’s heart pounded. He almost shrieked in fear, feeling that his own laws were being thawed and suppressed!

He was going to die! For real!

It was the only thing he could think of!

However, he was unable to move. The space around him had been solidified by a law of space extremely hard to grasp!

Heller was relocated the next moment. His body disappeared right after Su Ping’s hand touched him; his identity badge was left behind.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows and returned to the outside world with the badge.

“What happened?”

Both Claesabe and Ibetaluna were shocked. They only saw that the space had been caged and then Heller was relocated, which meant that the Ascendant State power that was enshrouding the continent had determined that he was doomed!

Is he so strong that I can’t even understand his power? Claesabe was stupefied; Su Ping was becoming more intimidating in his heart.

“Let’s go and keep looking.”

Su Ping raised his hand and collected the badges. His total badges were ten, counting the one he had at the beginning.

Therefore, he would qualify as long as he looted nine badges.

However, his two companions had been following him and done him a favor; Su Ping decided to help them gather enough identity badges too.

Claesabe snapped out of his shock and quickly followed his instructions.

He no longer dared to question Su Ping’s requests. To think that Heller, who had fought hundreds of rounds with him, couldn’t even flee from this guy.

He was definitely the toughest figure present!

He was definitely what someone with Ascendant State potential should be like!

…

Countless people saw Su Ping finishing off Heller and were thrilled by the outcome. It was unfortunate that others were distracted by other fights.

Heller had performed remarkably, having earned a place in the popularity rank, but he was helpless before Su Ping. The gap between them was too wide!

Many realized that Su Ping had not thrown any punches this time. Instead, he used a power that they couldn’t understand.

A Star Lord concluded that Su Ping had made use of a law of space he had a good grasp of, preventing Heller from running and suppressing him.

Su Ping’s name appeared on the champion prediction listing when the fight ended, right in eighth place!

He had previously shown his massive strength by defeating all his opponents with one punch. He then displayed his potential to become the overall champion when he used that law of space!

Still, he was quickly pushed to the eleventh spot soon after.

In other places on the continent—several fierce battles were taking place, which attracted most people’s attention.

The contestants who won the earlier battles had easily shown new powers during that survival match. Two experts who were both high on the popularity rank had used impressive pets and secret techniques in one of the battles, which quickly improved their positioning on the champion prediction ranking.

The outbursts here and there were thrilling to the audience.

Time flew.

Su Ping and his team met five waves of enemies in the following hour. One of them was a lone wolf as strong as Heller, but he only had the option to flee due to the collective onslaught of attacks, ultimately being knocked out of the competition when Su Ping took action.

The man definitely had a chance of rising to the top hundred when merely considering combat ability.

Even if he was unlucky, he could at least make it to the top two hundred.

Still, he had been eliminated in only an hour after the survival battle started.

“You have enough identity badges too.”

Both Claesabe and Ibetaluna had also managed to gather ten identity badges after several robberies. The three of them had met the requirement; all they needed to do was to endure the rest of the 180 federal hours.

Both of them were excited as they nodded to Su Ping.

Although exhausted and having been mildly hurt in the previous battles, none of them had ever been in any real danger, given that Su Ping had offered a hand as needed; they had nothing to worry about.

The pair was quite happy, since they had collected enough identity badges in only an hour.

Heller and the proud lone wolf were as strong as Claesabe, but both of them had been thrown out in advance; Su Ping’s teammates were happy for having chosen to follow him.

Even though they were reasonably strong, they could have run into other tough figures, eventually being kicked out.

In particular, Dragon Emperor, the Sword God’s heir, and Holy King of the Hugh Mia Academy were hostile to Amir’s participants. They would not go easy on them.

“Let’s find a place to take a break,” said Su Ping.

He saw a hill that was only five hundred meters high, fairly steep and covered in plants. He flew towards it.

Su Ping reached the hilltop and then waved his hand like a blade to clear the weeds at the top, revealing the smooth rocks underneath.

Su Ping then descended and sat down to take a rest.

Claesabe and Ibetaluna looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that Su Ping would choose to take a break there.

Considering his strength, Su Ping could end up gathering a hundred identity badges!

Is he saving his strength for the championship?

Both of them speculated; they looked at each other and then followed Su Ping’s lead.

They had gathered enough identity badges anyway; they would only need to wait.

“Brother Su, since we’re taking a break, would you like some wine and food?” Seeing that the hilltop was desolate, Claesabe took out comfortable cushions and chairs, as well as barbecue and wine.

Su Ping looked at them and smiled. “You seem to be well prepared. Why not?”

Given his willingness, Claesabe’s smile showed even more delight as he quickly offered a bottle of wine he cherished.

Ibetaluna, on the other hand, raised her brows too and said, “I brought some delicious wine made by the seasoned brewers in my family. It tastes great. I wonder if Brother Su would care to sample it.”

She then waved her hand, and an exquisite bottle of wine flew out.
