Astral Pet Store

The people in the Tower got busy after Yuan Tianchen and the others left. They combed through the files and dug out other records to find those people on their archives.

“That person…”

Gu Siping blinked. There was one file that got his attention.

He had to.

According to the information he received… He knew that the person was able to kill Fate State beasts!

He had made a mess at the Tower once, killing a Void State Warrior with one punch!

He went into the Corridor but returned safely!

He had just killed a beast king at the Fate State!

Gu Siping also knew that person’s age.

He wasn’t even twenty-two years old! Such a combat strength was appalling when considering his age; even Gu Siping would feel worried.

Once that person showed up, the teacher would surely like him; he would certainly take him to the Hugh Mia Academy…

That person… has secrets, Gu Siping thought. He contacted a legendary battle pet warrior in charge of intelligence and whispered something to him.

The legendary battle pet warrior was surprised by the message he heard; the look on Gu Siping’s face told him what the intention was.

The legendary battle pet warrior nodded.

The look on Gu Siping’s face meant more than what his words implied.

In the meantime, somewhere deep in the ocean.

Two massive things crawled around. Many ugly and twisted ocean beasts swam in the perimeter; they patrolled, but never daring to approach those two.

“Heavenly King of Good and Evil, the Lord sent a message just now. We were told to abort the plan and hold our horses,” one of the huge things said.

That being was like a mountain; there was a conch shell on its back. Several dark strips that were dozens of meters thick were wiggling about; they were like the beast’s tails, or extremely long appendages.

“Why?” the other figure said. Its voice was calm and void of all emotion. That was a beast that looked like a dragon with wings and sharp claws. The beast opened its eyes slowly, showing an impassive pair of golden eyes.

“I heard that some people are coming from the sky above our head, from the lair of the humans. Those people are stronger than us. Our Lord told us to wait until they left,” the first huge thing said.

“Really…”

The Heavenly King of Good and Evil looked at the sky through the ocean.

The starry sky. That was the place they had been longing to reach since they became intelligent.

“I understand,” it said.

“Good. I have another job to do. See you,” the first huge thing said. Its body became blurry; it tore open a crack in the ocean and teleported away.

Half a day later

Many people flew between the Tower and Clairvoyance to relay information.

The trip between the two places was extremely dangerous. There were flocks of beasts in the air. One of the titled battle pet warriors didn’t avoid one of those flocks in time and got killed.

As the intelligence unit of the Tower and Clairvoyance cooperated, more and more students identified in the files were sent to the Tower.

Some were picked up by legendary battle pet warriors, others by titled battle pet warriors. “You’re quick.”

Gu Siping invited the middle-aged teacher out from the spaceship. The latter looked at the eight young people standing in front of the cottage.

He had selected thirteen but merely eight were standing there. “Is that all?” the middle-aged teacher asked while knowing the answer. Gu Siping explained at once, “Sir, we have yet to locate the others. We’ve checked and two of the thirteen are already over the age of thirty.”

The middle-aged teacher nodded but said nothing. He gave the eight people a once over.

“Huh?”

He started from the left. The second person in line piqued his interest. The middle-aged teacher put on a smile. “A good one, I almost missed you. There’s a mysterious and hidden presence of sword might in your astral powers. You have an inborn sword constitution. Good. What is your name?”

The young man was surprised. He first looked at Gu Siping before he answered, flattered, “I, I am Fei Tianyi.”

“Fei Tianyi? Good. You are qualified. Come with me.” The middle-aged teacher smiled.

“Go with you…”

Fei Tianyi was perplexed.

He had a certain idea of what was going on.

When he was asked to go there, the titled battle pet warrior had already briefed him about the situation.

A teacher from one of the best academies in the Interstellar Federation was there to recruit students, and the teacher was actually at the Star Rank. If he could go and study in that academy, he would reach the legendary rank or even beyond. He would make a name in the universe.

Right thenThe chance was really in front of him.

He was there and he got picked!

Going with him?

The first thing Fei Tianyi thought of was his family, his parents, and his younger sister.

Would I never be able to see them again?

Fei Tianyi wondered.

“Are you worried about your family?” The middle-aged teacher smiled at Fei Tianyi. “The Blue Planet is in crisis and you must have seen what the beasts can do. The only thing in the world that can last is power and without power… you cannot protect anyone! You can come back after you graduate, or sooner if you display an outstanding performance.

“You’ll be able to help your hometown by then. You may even be able to relocate your family to Silvy…

“Think about this. Do you want to stay with your family as a weak person or do you want to become stronger so you can open up a better path for your family…?”

The six people standing by Fei Tianyi’s left-hand side were intrigued; the one standing on his right side was jealous and disappointed.

The teacher went directly to Fei Tianyi. So, the first person was not up to standard.

But that person didn’t stop hoping.

Maybe the teacher had just seen Fei Tianyi first.

“I…”

Fei Tianyi was thinking.

He had seen the beast strikes.

The images of destruction were all over the news. Some war correspondents were broadcasting when some beasts killed them and the broadcasting was interrupted.

The tragedy was a common occurrence. He saw people being torn apart by beasts.

He watched. He was angry and his blood was boiling, but he knew there was nothing he could do.

There were many beast kings. Even legendary battle pet warriors had died and he wasn’t even at the legendary rank. There truly nothing he could do.

“I’ll go!”

Fei Tianyi made up his mind.

The teacher is right. Becoming more powerful is the only way out!

But…

He just hoped that his family could hang on until he returned.

If he stayed and the beasts knocked on his door, he would have to hide and move from place to place or perish with his family.

That was not what he wanted!

“Yes.”

The middle-aged teacher smiled. He wasn’t surprised by the answer. He moved on to the next candidate.

Everyone whom he gazed at would become nervous and full of anticipation.

But as the teacher looked away, those skipped would feel disappointed.

“Another one.”

The middle-aged teacher’s eyes glowed when he saw the fifth in line. “Good one. Inborn beast constitution not fully awakened. You have good potential.” A girl with golden hair and white skin was thrilled and overjoyed. The middle-aged teacher asked her name and whether she was willing to go. She said yes without hesitation.

Soon, all eight candidates had been checked. The middle-aged teacher shook his head, feeling sorry. But the thought that he did discover two more talents left a smile on his face again. “Good. Come along, you two.”

The other six wore a white and bloodless complexion.

“Both of you, listen to Mr. Fang and behave when you get there,” Gu Siping said to Fei Tianyi and the girl.

Fei Tianyi had been told the man was the master. He nodded at once.

The girl with the golden hair nodded happily. “I cannot believe that this primitive planet would have eight qualified candidates. This rate is higher than in some habitable planets!” the lady with red hair exclaimed.

“I think they were inspired because of all the disasters,” The ice lady commented.

The middle-aged fellow with a curly beard laughed and added, “Our trip was more than worthwhile. We have eight candidates; it will be even better if any one of them has top-level constitutions!”

“We will see how lucky we are.”

Gu Siping, Fei Tianyi, and the other legendary battle pet warriors were full of questions.

There were different constitution levels?

Those people had just heard about the existence of special constitutions. Those with special constitutions, when inspired, could master many inherent skills and strengths. For example, many legendary battle pet warriors knew about Yuan Linglu’s thunder constitution. After all, her grandpa was a famous legendary Void State Warrior and he never hid his training of his granddaughter.

Yuan Linglu was born with the resistance to thunder, thanks to her constitution. Her mastery of thunder skills was better than that of similar-ranked peers.

Battle pet warriors with special constitutions could also train faster than the other battle pet warriors.

Of course, there were few and far between in the entire world who had special constitutions!

The known ratio was about one to one billion!

As for whether people with special constitutions were never found, the answer was yes.

Awakening constitutions wouldn’t necessarily guarantee a smooth cultivation, either. Sometimes, certain special constitutions would hinder cultivation at the initial stage. Some people had hidden special constitutions, so they would never get a chance to awaken them. They could be born in normal families, get a normal job, and never become battle pet warriors. They might even excel their peers in certain ways, but that was it. “We are done here. Time to go,” she middle-aged scholar.

Gu Siping said at once, “Mr. Fang, why don’t you stay here for a couple of days? I haven’t properly entertained you…” “Well… Mr. Fang, why don’t we stay for the wine?” The bearded middle-aged man scratched his head.

The middle-aged teacher rolled his eyes. “Go ahead and stay if you want.”

The curly-bearded man waved his hand. “No, no…”

He said to Gu Siping, “Well, Mr. Gu, how about… you give me that wine so we can enjoy it on the way?”

Gu Siping twitched his lips.

How shameless!

He’s leaving, but he’s still asking for the wine!

Such a waste of wine!

“Okay…”

Even though he hated the fellow, Gu Siping smiled and agreed.

The bearded man laughed and said, “Mr. Gu, how generous of you!”

To hell with you… Gu Siping curled his lips. The middle-aged man didn’t even mention returning his favor by killing some beasts.

He could tell that the bearded fellow was shameless. He didn’t seem to mind in the slightest; after all, they might never see each other again. “Go and get my wine,” Gu Siping said to a man by his side.

The legendary battle pet warrior said yes and left at once.

“You, go ahead and enter the spaceship,” the middle-aged teacher said to Yuan Linglu, Fei Tianyi, and the other candidates.

Yuan Linglu looked at the spaceship. She flew and entered the vessel with mixed feelings.

Fei Tianyi stayed at the back and he didn’t see that person, which was surprising. He asked the middle-aged teacher gingerly, “Sir, is it just the eight of us?”

“Yes.”

Fei Tianyi was curious. “Sir, there’s a person who is more talented than I am. But I didn’t see him here…”

“Is that so?”

The middle-aged teacher raised his eyebrows. “We have a strict standard and the age limit is twenty-two. The candidates also have to have special constitutions. Does that person meet the requirements?”.

“He is younger than twenty-two, although I don’t know about his constitution. But he is ten times stronger than I am!” Fei Tianyi said.

“Really?” The middle-aged man stared at him. “Are you sure about this?” “Yes. I’ve seen with my own eyes. I heard he has even killed legendary battle pet warriors…” Fei Tianyi answered with respect. “Legendary battle pet warriors?” The middle-aged teacher repeated. The legendary rank was a term people used on the Blue Planet. People in the Federation mainly said Void State or Ocean State.

After all, the people in those states shouldn’t be “legends.”

Also, killing those at the Ocean State while being below the age of twenty-two was rare, but it wasn’t a big deal.

“What is that man’s name?” the teacher asked.

“Su Ping,” Fei Tianyi said. Yuan Linglu, who was about to reach the cabin door, came to a sudden stop. Turning pale, she turned around.

Gu Siping was also turning pale.

“Su Ping?”

The middle-aged teacher asked Gu Siping, “Has that person been here? Do you have his information? Get him here.”
