Chapter 373 Intermediate Position of the Sixth Rank!

“You?”

Yin Fengxiao broke into laughter. “You want to compete against our Lady Yan when you are a titled battle pet warrior. Have you no shame? Aren’t you afraid that people are going to laugh at you?!”

The man who went to talk with Su Ping stood surprised because of this unexpected reply. “Mr. Su, the Elite League is only open to young people below the seventh rank. You are a titled battle pet warrior. I don’t think anyone can be your opponent,” the man said, wearing a wry smile.

“Who told you that I’m a titled battle pet warrior?” Su Ping replied coldly, “I am perfectly qualified for the Elite League! Since you allow her, an outsider, to parachute into the Elite League, then there shall be no problem with me parachuting into your competition!”

The man was struggling for words. “Mr. Su,

you...”

He didn’t quite understand Su Ping’s reply. Not a titled battle pet warrior?

How so? He was so threatening and he could fly. How could he not be a titled battle pet warrior?

Or, was Su Ping able to fly because he mastered some secret skills like Yan Bingyue?

Even so, how could he explain having just punched a hole in the seal? Not even a titled battle pet warrior at the peak could have done that easily!

Someone like Venerable the Blade, or Qin Duhuang the Raging Spirit, might have been able to unleash one strike with the power equal to the legendary level. But such a strike would be exhausting. They wouldn’t be able to repeat that strike too many times.

Besides, those who could actually do so would be at the peak of the titled rank.

In the distance, Yin Fengxiao darted a look at the seal and the device upon hearing Su Ping’s words.

“Ridiculous! You claim you’re not a titled battle pet warrior. Do you think we are fools?”

Zhao Wuji sneered.

Zhao Wuji had a strong build and a square face, a man who appeared to be upright. However, he was scheming by the way he chose his words. He was deliberately repeating Su Ping’s words so that everyone could hear that.

The others stared at Su Ping with a frown.

He had exhibited such strength but he said he was not a titled battle pet warrior. Even if he weren’t a titled battle pet warrior, he should at least be at the peak of the eighth rank. Either way, he would not be qualified for the Elite League.

Su Ping glared at Zhao Wuji. The coldness in Su Ping’s eyes grew deeper. “Say another rude word to me and you will die!”

Zhao Wuji was stunned still. He never thought that Su Ping would threaten him. Blushing, Zhao Wuji bellowed, “You said you’re not a titled battle pet warrior. If so, the one speaking rudely is you!”

“You do not deserve to talk to me!”

Su Ping stared at him and said to the titled battle pet warrior from the government. “Don’t you have a device to test ranks? Test me and you will know!”

“You!”

Zhao Wuji was hopping mad after seeing that Su Ping had completely ignored him. Veins were popping out on Zhao Wuji’s forehead. Eventually, he managed to control his anger. The young man’s forceful punch was still vivid in his mind and that was a constant reminder for him to tread carefully. He wasn’t so sure that he could best the young man if they fought.

The titled battle pet warrior was speechless. He didn’t know what the store owner was trying to do. What was even the point of this test?

That being said, since Su Ping had said so, the man was eager to find out Su Ping’s actual rank.

“Sure, we’ll do it your way. However, your rank has to be below the seventh rank for you to participate. Otherwise, I hope you can settle your disputes after the competition,” the man said.

Su Ping said nothing in reply. He didn’t disagree, nor agreed. The man from the government had no other option but to ask the working staff to get the device that Yan Bingyue used.

Soon, the device that was left next to the stage was brought up. “Ping...”

Su Lingyue stood next to Su Ping, gazing at him with worry and confusion.

“Hmm, you’re fanning the flames!”

Zhao Wuji grinned a sardonic grin.

Yin Fengxiao kept a straight face and said nothing.

Yan Bingyue stood behind them. She covered her severed wrist and stared at Su Ping.

“Mr. Su.”

The man from the government took over the device and forced a smile of embarrassment. The man noticed that the Dark Dragon Hound that was guarding Su Ping snorted and raised its head as if allowing him to move closer.

The man was surprised. That was Xu Kuang’s battle pet. Why was the hound acting like Su Ping’s battle pet?

But that didn’t matter. The man approached Su Ping with a quick step and handed Su Ping the device. The man then summoned two workers to help Su Ping perform the test.

Soon, the two workers tied the device on Su Ping carefully.

“Please release astral power,” one of the workers said, respectfully.

Su Ping released a gust of astral power as the worker requested.

Everyone fixed their gazes on him. The family heads and elders couldn’t help but stand up and look over.

In particular, the two from the Zhu Family were curious about Su Ping’s rank.

They still remembered how Su Ping went by himself and almost destroyed their family. Yin Fengxiao and Zhao Wuji were all eyes as well.

Soon, the signal lights began to light up.

More and more lights appeared. In an instant, six lights were lit!

But no more lights were turned on. The six lights began to change color.

The final color was orange!

Green indicated the lower position, orange was the intermediate position, dark purple was the upper position and red was the peak! According to the device, Su Ping’s rank was... at the intermediate rank of the sixth-rank!

The color stopped there and there was no more change. The two workers were stunned and so was Su Lingyue.

The man from the government was unable to believe this.

In the distance, Zhao Wuji and Yin Fengxiao wore surprised expressions.

Standing behind them, Yan Bingyue stared blankly at the device. If it weren’t for the fact that she had put on the device herself, she would have questioned whether the device was broken.

The family heads were shocked, as motionless as a wooden image.

The two who were the most shocked were the two from the Zhou Family, like a deer caught in the headlights. “What...?”

Qin Duhuang, one who had never shown emotions on his face, stood up all of a sudden. His smiling eyes were wide open, with a beaming glow as he kept his gaze on the device.

Qin Shuhai was standing in amazement as well.

The audience could see a close-up of the device on the big screen. The result struck them dumb.

“Mr. Su...”

Fei Yanbo also stared, pop-eyed.

Behind him, the students, especially Luo Fengtian, were all standing aghast. Luo Fengtian had always remained calm. But at the moment, he had forgotten himself because of pure astonishment.

Intermediate position... of the sixth rank?!

Just the sixth rank?!!

Su Ping wasn’t even at the peak of the sixth rank, it was the intermediate rank! How could it be?!

For a moment, the huge venue turned as silent as the grave. After the short moment of quietness, soon, questioning voices arose. Many people were unable to believe such a result.

The ones who found the result unacceptable the most were the titled battle pet warriors. They fully understood how much strength they had to use to puncture the seal. But that previous hole had been made by this sixth-rank battle pet warrior?

It was ridiculous!

Those titled battle pet warriors had seen talents before.

They had seen a monster like Yan Bingyue in the past Elite Leagues.

However, even the champions of past Elite Leagues, the more powerful participants, would have never been able to unleash a force close to the legendary rank while still being at the sixth rank!

That was not possible!

This result had shattered their world views. If this result was true, all of their experiences would have to be rewritten!

“No, no way!” Zhao Wuji came back to his senses. He was the first one who shouted out. He glared at Su Ping and said, “The test must be wrong. Is the device broken? He is at the sixth rank? I don’t believe it!”

The man from the government came back to his senses as well. He was having the same thought as Zhao Wuji. Of course, the man wouldn’t have said those words outright. He turned around and saw the same expression on everyone else’s faces present, stunned and baffled.

“Well...” the man had no other choice but to say to Su Ping, “Mr. Su, this device may be broken...”

Su Ping pulled a long face. “The device is okay. I am indeed at the intermediate position of the sixth rank.”

The man from the government couldn’t believe this, but it didn’t seem that Su Ping would joke around, even though his words did sound like a joke. The man smiled bitterly. “Mr. Su, this device might have been broken after Lady Yan’s test. How about we use another device?”

Su Ping understood that no one would believe him unless he took a second test. “Fine. Test as many times as you want until you’re satisfied!”
