Chapter 1004: Training
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Defense skills immediately covered the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon as they took the lead. That protection had been cast by the Dark Dragon Hound; however, they collapsed like vulnerable snowflakes the moment they were cast.
The Inferno Dragon also felt the danger, so it chose to ignite its soul, unleashing a dazzling brilliance. It became significantly bigger as it protected its partners following closely behind.
Bang!
Its body shook hard, and then it stopped moving. It was already dead.
The Little Skeleton was right behind the dragon corpse; bloody flames fluttered in its eye sockets. It had vanished and avoided the blast; then, it reappeared in the sea and slashed at the enemy.
While standing at the rear, Su Ping was astonished at the Chaos Path Beast’s performance. It suddenly emitted a hazy light that obliterated all surrounding rays of light, turning space into a chaotic domain. The blast heading in its direction melted when it touched the domain.
What kind of skill was that??Su Ping was shocked by that move, even though he had seen a lot of things.
The newborn chaos beast was able to resist an Ascendant beast’s attack?
Not even the Inferno Dragon had been able to resist the previous blast. Was the little creature already stronger than the Inferno Dragon?
Su Ping eventually realized that he was wrong. The hazy domain released by the chaos beast had indeed blocked the blast, but it was obviously much slower than the Inferno Dragon’s moves. When it jumped into the sea, the beast discovered it and went mad.
A black, hemispherical force field unfolded at the bottom of the sea, enshrouding the chaos beast. The hazy domain around it was compressed until it stuck to its body, which then cracked and exploded. The little one had a quick death.
Seems like I was overthinking.
Su Ping realized that the hazy domain probably carried some mysterious effect, which was why it blocked the blast. The black force field, on the other hand, was a Star Lord State method, made of power of laws and divine power. It couldn’t hurt the Little Skeleton in the slightest; the latter had then jumped into the water.
The chaos beast, on the other hand, was squished at the same time; it was much weaker and softer than the Inferno Dragon anyway, since it was a very strong Star Lord beast.
That blast contained Ascendant power, but was repelled. The Star Lord attack wasn’t resisted.?It seemed to have something to do with the specifics of that domain. I’ll find out what kind of attacks the domain can resist if I figure out their difference, Su Ping thought.
He resurrected both the chaos beast and the Inferno Dragon. Su Ping had yet to give them orders when the Inferno Dragon was already attacking again. The chaos beast, however, was dazed for a moment; it was only after a few seconds that it recovered its memories. It hesitated after remembering the pain of death.
Once he noticed that the chaos beast was reluctant, Su Ping immediately used the secret technique to induce killing intent.
The chaos beast’s eyes turned bloodshot once it received the intent boost. It roared and charged at the sea beast.
It was reckless to begin with. Any other pet would have fled from such a terrifying enemy, even if bolstered by killing intent.
The beast in the sea roared when it noticed the chaos beast’s return. However, it appeared to be panicking because of the chaos beast’s resurrection.
Is the beast scared of it??Su Ping was surprised. Then, he saw the black force field being reestablished and wreathing the chaos beast.
The little beast shrieked and howled. Two vortices were manifested apart from the hazy chaos domain, which twisted darkness as it appeared. This created a very narrow space for the beast; so much so that it was squished again soon after.
It was able to endure for five seconds.?Su Ping was truly interested.?The beast was instantly killed at first, but then it made considerable progress the second time.?He was increasingly eager to work with the creature.
Su Ping continued observing after resurrecting the little one.
The sea beast let out a roar which was a mix of fury and fright, as the chaos beast was resurrected for a third time. It shook its gargantuan tail, raising a huge tide; then, it descended fast, choosing to flee!
“Huh?”
Su Ping didn’t see this coming, at all. The Ascendant beast had chosen to flee from a few insignificant challengers?
The Little Skeleton was still giving chase, so Su Ping quickly summoned it back. That pet was quite brutal too; not only did it dare to attack an Ascendant beast, it even dared to chase it when it was fleeing.
That creature seemed to have noticed the chaos beast’s unusual nature, and was scared because of it.
A moment earlier, the Little Skeleton had been attacking non stop, but the sea beast was simply ignoring it, as it was mainly attacking the Chaos Path Beast. Although the little one had yet to become strong, it had already shown the dominating nature of a top-tier creature.
“Come back.”
Su Ping recalled them. He had intended to have his pets train together and help each other, so that the chaos beast would know what partners meant. However, their target had fled, and he had to find a new one.
He allowed the pets to resume absorbing the lake of divine power in the clouds first; then, he led them forward. The sea was so vast that nothing but water could be seen in any direction, making for a confusing and depressing sight.
Divine power was condensed and formed a lake in the clouds, yet nobody collected it. It’s probably because the sea is too dangerous and very few people dare to traverse the sky above it.
Su Ping then had the Inferno Dragon release dragon aura and attract beasts in the vicinity.
Soon after, several attacks coming from the sea were headed their way. They were from a dozen weird fish with sharp fangs; all of them were Star Lords.
“Perfect!”
Su Ping was going to order his pets to fight back, when he saw an appalling sight. The water underneath them became darker and darker once the shoal of weird fish appeared, which was the surfacing of a giant shadow. Su Ping was then able to see the pointed teeth at the edge of the shadow, which turned out to be a gigantic mouth!
Bang!
The big mouth rose abruptly and swallowed all the weird fish!
The fish also noticed the big mouth’s arrival, and struggled to flee, but they seemed to be restrained. All of them were swallowed.
An enormous head popped up on the surface of the sea. It had a few red eyes; one of them noticed Su Ping and his pets.
Splash.
The giant creature fell back into the sea, raising tides thousands of meters high. The next moment, Su Ping felt that space around him had solidified; he couldn’t move or even bat an eye, even though he had mastered the law of space. His control over space seemed to have been blocked!
What kind of method is this?
Su Ping was truly shocked. That beast was even stronger than the Ascendant beast that had fled. He even suspected it had swum away because it detected that massive newcomer, not because of being wary of the chaos beast.
This thing is at least ten thousand meters long. How deep must the sea be for such a monster to freely move around?
Su Ping had goosebumps all over his body. He knew his first guess was right on the money as he looked at the giant mouth. The lake of divine power up in the clouds had accumulated energy for a very long time, since nobody dared to enter such a dangerous place.
Su Ping and his pets soon fell into that mouth, which was smelly and moist. Then, he lost consciousness.
This time, Su Ping chose a random resurrection.
There were too many powerful beasts in the sea; Su Ping intended to find a less challenging place.
After all, training would be useless if the place was too dangerous.
Time flew.
Su Ping wandered in the Archean Divinity for three days.
He randomly resurrected in a hundred places, finally finding a desolate land where most beasts were Star Lords, with the occasional Ascendants.
The chaos beast made the fastest progress during those three days.
It wasn’t just because of the beast’s bloodline, but also because it had never been through such life-and-death training; the stimulation and pain of death were quite effective. The Inferno Dragon and the other pets had already grown accustomed to dying; they could also tell cultivation sites from the outside world, and could only dig out their potential through competitiveness, by fighting worthy enemies.
It’s only been three days, and it’s already able to fight Star State creatures.
Su Ping looked at the Chaos Path Beast, which was almost eight meters tall, with mixed feelings.
It had grown a lot in just three days. The beast he used to carry in his arms had turned into a giant, and it hadn’t even passed the Enlightenment Phase yet!
The experiences in the past few had indeed been abundant and effective, that much progress attested to the young one’s great talent.
Su Ping finally understood why some geniuses were called monsters.
That little thing was a literal monster.
Even the most gifted god would probably be astonished by such an amazing growth speed.
Su Ping was also delighted—besides the increase of height and strength—since the chaos beast had gradually made peace with his other pets; at least it no longer regarded the Inferno Dragon as food. Su Ping had taught it the meaning of partnership.
Su Ping would tell the chaos beast stories and moral lessons when they weren’t fighting.
He didn’t care whether or not the beast understood; he had a lot of fun teaching it anyway.
Su Ping didn’t want it to become a monster that knew nothing but killing. That would merely be a tool, not a pet.
I should slow down. Too much killing isn’t good, either; it’s just been born anyway.?Su Ping wasn’t hasty. He decided to slow down with the training, and to take the beast to see the wonderful things in the prosperous world out there; all to make it understand that killing wasn’t the only thing that mattered.
Next, Su Ping killed himself and chose to resurrect randomly, to continue searching for the continent where the Heaven Path Institute was.
He finally returned to the institute after spending energy resurrecting a dozen times.
Hardly had he returned when his appointed servant found him.
“A duel?” Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Had that guy challenged him to a duel?
Su Ping wasn’t at all fond of the Rain Clan prince; an ever condescending fellow who didn’t even regard him as a living creature.
No wonder he didn’t pass the third test. He can’t have much divine quality.?Without hesitation, Su Ping said to the servant, “I’ll accept. When will it begin?”
“My lord, don’t you need more time to consider?”
The servant was surprised at Su Ping’s boldness, as he had been challenged by the prince of a high-ranked clan!
All the princes were experts with unusual talents. Failing the divine quality test didn’t mean he was weak!
“There’s nothing to consider. Such duels can’t be declined, can they?” asked Su Ping.
“But… He’s a prince.” The servant looked at Su Ping. She didn’t want to lose her newly appointed master that quickly.
Su Ping smiled and said, “The princes aren’t invincible. Besides, even if he is, I will beat him and prove that he isn’t!”
The servant was shocked by his response.
She looked at Su Ping’s brilliant smile, wondering why a human could be confident enough to claim that he would beat a prince!
“Okay, I’ll send them your reply.” The servant was suddenly too scared to look Su Ping in the eye. Thanks to her godly nature, she had sensed the light coming from the human, which was even more brilliant than the sun.
Su Ping nodded.
He went to see his mentor after the servant left.
He used his badge to send a request to meet him, but then the latter replied that he was training in seclusion. Su Ping had to wait.
A couple of days later, the young mentor went to Su Ping’s temple and asked, “What would you want to know?”
“Sir, I’d like to learn how I can add a second small world,” said Su Ping directly, “I have to fully master the four supreme laws to perfect the first small world. Once I’m done, what should I use to construct a second small world? Are there other things that can be used to build a small world?”
