Chapter 278 Participants from Berserking Blade Academy

Su Ping found a place with a wide view to sit down. Not long afterward, he heard someone calling his name from behind, “Mr. Su?”

Su Ping and Su Lingyue turned around. Su Lingyue did not expect that they would be able to meet someone who knew Su Ping there. It appeared that Su Ping had a higher reputation than she had imagined.

Su Ping recognized the person immediately. It was Fei Yanbo, an advanced teacher from the Berserking Blade Academy, the one Su Ping had once dueled with.

Su Ping still remembered Fei Yanbo’s Abyss Snake. He wondered if the snake had withered.

“It is you...”

Fei Yanbo was filled with mixed feelings after running into Su Ping there. What a surprise.

Su Ping had crushed him back at the exchange match, and he became aware that this young man could fight like a titled battle pet warrior. Su Ping was the only one with such abilities at such a young age and thus had left an unforgettable impression on Fei Yanbo.

“Mr. Su, how have you been?” Fei Yanbo produced a forced smile.

Standing behind him were some young people with an imposing manner. But once they saw Su Ping, all of them dialed down their momentum as if frightened.

Su Ping looked around. He was familiar with almost all of them.

He still remembered Luo Fengtian, the young man who had angered him, as well as the others, except for a girl that he had not seen that night. She was tall and slender, with her hair in a ponytail. This girl struck him as quite natural and capable.

“Are they the participants from your academy?” Su Ping asked.

Luo Fengtian and the other students lowered their heads and said “sir” as a way of saluting.

Though they were older than Su Ping, they had to admit that Su Ping was more powerful than they were. The academy exchange match was still vivid in their minds, as if only a day had passed.

The girl with the ponytail found it strange that Luo Fengtian, who normally stood straight with pride, would adopt a humble attitude all of a sudden. Baffled, she looked at Su Ping. No matter how she looked at this person, she felt he was younger than she was. Why was Luo addressing this person as “sir”?

“Yes.” Fei Yanbo nodded. “Are you here to participate as well?”

As this question slipped out from Fei Yanbo’s mouth, Luo Fengtian and the other students who knew Su Ping appeared to be intimidated. If Su Ping were to fight and they met him on stage, they would have to surrender immediately. They would never be able to win against him.

Su Ping shook his head. “I am not. I just brought my younger sister here for some fun.”

“Your younger sister?”

Only then did they notice Su Lingyue who was sitting next to Su Ping. Theoretically speaking, a girl as pretty as Su Lingyue would have caught people’s attention. However, since she was with Su Ping, people had neglected her.

Fei Yanbo looked at Su Ping in surprise. He could tell immediately that this girl was at about the fourth rank. He recalled that the girl had fought against his students and lost.

He didn’t know that the girl was Su Ping’s younger sister.

The gap between their ages did not seem to be huge, but the gap in their strengths...

Fei Yanbo took his eyes off from Su Lingyue and nodded to Su Ping. “Since you’re not participating, then let us watch the games together.” “Sure.”

Su Ping didn’t turn him down.

Fei Yanbo sat down in the empty seats next to Su Ping.

Luo Fengtian and the other students wished they could stay further away from Su Ping. Still, since their teacher had sat down, they would have to stay there.

Su Lingyue darted a glance at Fei Yanbo, sulking. She could read people accurately. This man had clearly left some criticism against her unspoken!

What a mean man!

How could a teacher do this!

Having taken his seat, Fei Yanbo posed another question with a smile, “Mr. Su, do you know what the test is going to be in the initial match?”

They had fought as opponents the previous time, but a feud had not been formed. Besides, Fei Yanbo would never try to make an enemy of Su Ping who was such a young titled battle pet warrior, unless he went insane.

Su Ping shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Su Ping indeed didn’t pay much attention to such details. Strength was the only thing mattered. No matter how fancy the tests were, a direct fight was the best solution.

Fei Yanbo chuckled. “I heard that the test this time is quite hard. Participants lower than the fifth rank will be eliminated directly.”

“Oh.”

Fei Yanbo didn’t continue this topic since Su Ping didn’t seem to be interested. He just took another look at the girl with Su Ping.

ZO

Soon, more and more people arrived at the A1 zone. Most were participants, which was clear from their ages. Companions like Fei Yanbo who had obviously exceeded the age limit were few and far between.

Fei Yanbo explained to Su Ping that not anyone could go there to accompany the participants. Only master battle pet warriors or those with a strong background could be there.

Others would have to wait in boredom outside the venue or go back home to watch the live stream.

Su Ping realized that Cheng Shuanglin must have treated him as a VIP to let him enter this area. He had not realized that this seemingly simple matter could be so complicated in reality. No wonder he barely saw other parents there.

“It is true that the powerful cannot see the unspoken rules. Only the weak can tell how thick the ‘mist’ is above their heads...” Su Ping exclaimed to himself.

It was about noon. The sun was shining

ral master battle pet warriors approached the stage to activate the shield that would cover it. A blue, almost transparent shield rose and enveloped the entire stage.

The fighting stage was quite large, 10 times that of a football field. The venue was spacious. If the general public were there, they would feel that all they could see on the opposite side of the venue was a piece of a blur, as if over ten thousand meters were in between. They probably couldn’t even see the massive logos of the sponsors and the advertisements on the ground.

“It’s about to begin.”

Fei Yanbo’s eyes glowed in anticipation.

Luo Fengtian and the others became excited. An airboat suddenly flew in from the outside. There was something like a hot air balloon above the airboat, and standing inside were the hosts.

“Hi, everyone. The initial match at the Crescent Zone of Longjiang Base City qualification trials for the 52nd International Elite League begins, now!!”

The name of the match was long. When the word “begins” was said, everyone present at the venue started to cheer.

Then, the hosts’ eloquent and emotional introduction aroused people’s enthusiasm. A lively atmosphere was felt throughout the venue.

Soon, hosts began to announce the rules of the initial match.

The first round was a knockout match. One thousand participants would be selected randomly to get onto the stage.

Three hundred Phantom Bees would be released into the stage. All of them would be grown-up Phantom Bees at the intermediate position of the fifth rank!

Among the Phantom Bees, a hundred of them would be carrying a tiny pass. Anyone able to defeat the Phantom Bees and get the pass would enter the following rounds!

The first round was a selection to eliminate those below the fifth rank!

For most of the ordinary students that were there for the fun, this was a rank that they could not reach. This round would discourage those people.

The Phantom Bees were fast, and they had poison stings that could paralyze people. Anyone who got stung would be incapacitated!

As the rules were read, many began to scream and whine.

Countless students felt they had lost all hope.

That round had robbed them of a chance to enter the stage for a one-on-one battle!

“Three hundred fifth-rank beasts, one thousand participants, one hundred can move up to the next round, a one in ten chance...” Su Lingyue was worried. Although Su Ping had given her the Moonfrost Dragon, she was at the fourth-rank, and that was the truth. She might have to be carried off the stage by the paramedics. Fei Yanbo heard Su Lingyue’s words. “This isn’t a one in ten chance, but a one in a thousand chance! Once the Phantom Bees work as a team, then all of the one thousand participants may fail. Maybe no one will be able to pass!

“After all, those bees can work together, whereas the participants have to compete against the pets as well as each other!”

“Eh...”

Fei Yanbo’s words made Su Lingyue feel even more nervous and scared.
