Chapter 238: Little Skeleton’s Bladework Lesson

Chapter 238 Little Skeleton’s Bladework Lesson

“Sure, I’ll gladly take it,” Su Ping answered the old man after considering his options.

The others were quite surprised by his decision. Then they all grew jealous when their partner had earned his “redemption” without paying much of a price at all. On the contrary, his academy would gain a huge reputation boost if Su Ping attended it!

Offering a “free admission” was as good as offering nothing at all because Su Ping was surely good enough to enter that academy by normal means. If things went down in such a way, that academy would have a legendary warrior as a student, which would in turn make it known to the entire world.

“You-you would really agree??” The old vice principal couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

Su Ping nodded. “Yeah. Though I’m not the one who’s going to use that chance. I’ll send someone else later. You don’t have a problem with that, right?”

The old man felt his rising joy instantly turning cold.

How silly of me, thinking that this brilliant young man needed to study there. Heck, I doubt any of my professors have anything to teach him.

It was clear that Su Ping meant to reserve the opportunity to his friends or family. Though people weren’t sure what exactly would happen because they had yet to figure out Su Ping’s age. Even though they had already read Su Ping’s profile before coming, they no longer trusted what they had seen on paper after seeing what had happened that day.

The old man sighed as he stepped away. “Rest assured, Mister Su. No matter who it is that you send, I’ll tell the academy to send the best teachers and resources his way.”

“Sure.”

They exchanged phone numbers, and Su Ping learned that this vice principal was called… Han Yuxiang, a name that sat better on a woman.

Why do all these titled warriors have strange names? He thought. There’s Leng Yingjun the Handsome, and here’s Han Yuxiang the Pretty. Should I ask the rest of them to tell me their names…? Nah.

A luxurious rover arrived at the shop, from where a suited young man with sunglasses stepped out. He checked the narrow street and even the narrower shop in front of him and wondered whether the guiding application on his phone had taken him to the wrong place. But then he saw his teacher standing right at the shop’s door.

“Greetings, sir!” He removed his glasses and headed to the shop’s entrance right away.

Meanwhile, his eyes went wider and wider as he recognized several titled warriors nearby. He failed to understand why all of those important figures had gathered in that small place.

Of course, he wasn’t going to ask that. After hailing his teacher, he went to show courtesy to the others one by one.

“Oh, sir, the Moonfrost Dragon you asked for is right there on the vehicle. Shall it bring it here right away?” “Yes. Do it fast,” His teacher, the middle-aged man surnamed “Xiong” ordered.

The young man hurried back to his car and took out a white, pup-sized creature from the rear trunk. It was a small dragon fully covered in snow-white scales. Using its black beady eyes, it warily looked among the battle pet warriors nearby and shivered as it sensed their compelling auras.

Su Ping glanced at the creature and made sure the middle-aged man wasn’t lying.

“You can have it, Mister Su.” The man passed the small dragon to him somewhat unwillingly. “Please, take good care of it…”

His student was left agape when he realized that his teacher was giving the dragon to a stranger.

Su Ping carefully handed the pet to Joanna. “Good, you fulfilled your end of the deal. We’re even.”

Xiong breathed in relief. “Can-May I leave now?”

“Sure.”

The man immediately took his student and departed in their car.

“But sir! Wasn’t that Moonfrost Dragon reserved for your son?” the young student asked when their car moved out of the block.

His teacher gave him a grim look as he said, “Just stop. It’s already a miracle that I could make it out with my life.”

The young man was so surprised that he almost crashed their car.

“But… but… What about Mister Venerable? And the others? What are they doing there? Who’s that young man inside the shop?”

“He’s… a monster! That I can tell you. Mark my words, boy, do not, ever, approach this place without a good reason. Not in your

life!”

The young man returned to his driving with a terrified look. He had never seen his respected teacher so scared.

Both glad and a little afraid, the others all bid farewell to Su Ping and carefully went away.

Since Su Ping got what he wanted, he did not further trouble those titled warriors. There was no point in it when his real enemyYuan Tianchen-had already received a good beating.

Now, only Venerable the Blade and the old healer named Wu Guansheng had stayed behind.

“Mister Wu,” Su Ping spoke as he turned to Wu Guansheng. “I have a sister. I’m sure you already found that out through your… survey. I hope that you can pass your knowledge to her.”

Wu Guansheng looked rather disappointed. He thought he would have more time to warm up to Su Ping later, which was pretty important when his “ex-boss”—Yuan Tianchen-had been beaten up for good.

“Sure thing, hehe. I’ve read about her as well. A charming genius, I must say. I’m sure the study will go swimmingly.” Wu Guansheng meant to admit that they had thoroughly investigated Su Ping’s family. It was time to be honest.

Su Ping chuckled. “Genius? I’m not sure about that. Anyway, your job is to teach her how to heal. Your debt will be paid once she learns all of your eighth-rank healing arts. I’ll be patient about it but… don’t take too much time.”

“I—I would not slack off, Mister Su. But… It takes years of practice to become an eighth-rank healer. Or perhaps a decade. It’s not something I can rush.” Wu Guansheng gave him a sad look.

Su Ping didn’t seem to care. “I’ll give you three years, and that’s that. How to make it happen is entirely up to you. If the girl’s still not good enough after three years, I’ll be sure to find you and find out how to… fix your progress.”

“But that’s impossible! Even the best teacher on this planet can’t just turn a rookie into a master in such a short time! This isn’t fair!”

“Say, the Mysterious Realm is supposed to be a public place where everyone is allowed to use their strength and wits to fight for a fortune. But look at what you guys did to me. Was that fair at all?”

Wu Guansheng didn’t protest. He couldn’t.

He hoped that Su Ping’s sister was as resourceful as Su Ping himself, which was the only thing that might make his job doable.

“Now go. She lives over there.” Su Ping pointed to another building nearby. “Don’t tell her I sent you, or she’ll pester me with questions all day.”

Wu Guansheng nodded and almost sprinted out of the shop, fearing that losing even a second would make his work harder.

Su Ping looked at Venerable the Blade and summoned Little Skeleton. As soon as it showed up, the skeleton braced for danger since this was probably why it had been summoned.

It immediately recognized an enemy just nearby, which was Joanna. Though it didn’t move when it didn’t sense any hostility coming from her.

Su Ping placed a hand on Little Skeleton’s smooth skull. “Mister Venerable, this is the pet who’s going to learn from you.”

Venerable gazed at the small creature with a dumbfounded look. A lesser skeleton?? He has such a lowly creature as a pet?

All battle pet warriors had low-rank pets at the beginning of their careers when they didn’t have many better choices. As they reached higher ranks, however, those “starting pets” would soon be abandoned, or sent to specialized caring facilities if their masters were kind enough. As a matter of fact, there were many care houses and nursing homes for old and unneeded pets.

To Venerable the Blade, someone like Su Ping should be using rare ninth-rank pets at least, but not this… seemingly worthless skeleton.
