Astral Pet Store

and sisters.
They were focused on selling and managing both mines and planets, whereas the Loulans’ forte was on developing armor for pets and battle pet warriors.
Both families did have additional reach in other markets, though.

Su Ping suddenly saw a petite girl amongst Yuantians and found her familiar.

Next to that girl was a plump and elegant Ascendant State woman.
Noticing the girl’s reaction, she turned to find the cause and only saw Shen Huang’s disciples, including the unparalleled genius who had become the center of attention in recent times.

Yuan Linglu quickly shook her head while having conflicting emotions.

She had the idea that she would never see Su Ping again after she left the Blue Planet.
But then she met him during the Universe Geniuses’ Contest, and was left far behind.

She thought that would be it; they were worlds apart and would never meet again.
However, she was noticed by the Yuantian family thanks to her performance in the Universe Geniuses’ Contest.
They realized that she carried the Yuantian family’s bloodline.

They received her in the family, and activated her bloodline through various rituals and secret techniques.
Her latent power was activated, replacing her former physique with the Void Mountain Constitution, one of the top ten in the universe.

Because of that, the Yuantian family started to invest a lot of resources on her.
She was even admitted by the Divine Dome Academy, becoming one of the institution’s goddesses.

She thought that her life would be brilliant henceforth, but she heard Su Ping’s name time and again, until she got to see him there; he was like a shadow in her life.

“I heard that Su Ping came from one of the Original Planet’s duplicates, just like you.
Did you know each other back then?” asked the Ascendant woman softly, too shrewd to be fooled.

Yuan Linglu bit her lips and nodded.

“Was he… your enemy?” The Ascendant State woman looked away as she asked in a low voice.

Countless incidents from the past flashed in Yuan Linglu’s head.
In the end, she shook her head and gnashed her teeth.
“No.
He never thought I was a big deal.
I…”

She felt bitter.
She didn’t think she was Su Ping’s enemy, mainly because the gap between them was too wide.

Even though she was a star of the Yuantian family and could become a Heavenly Lord in the future, she wasn’t nearly as brilliant as Su Ping.

“That’s great.” The Ascendant woman was secretly relieved and was no longer tense.
“And even if he was, you must make peace with him.
There is perhaps an unknown Celestial supporting him.
He is also as valuable as a top Heavenly Lord thanks to his technique for cultivating multiple small worlds!”

Yuan Linglu bit her lips.
She had heard of Su Ping’s value a million times.
The geniuses she was acquainted with and those in the academy would talk about him all the time.

Su Ping’s name had spread throughout the universe ever since the geniuses’ contest.
It seemed that Su Ping’s era had dawned upon the whole cosmos.

Wherever she went, she would hear people talking about the unparalleled genius.

“I know,” said Yuan Linglu in a low voice.

Deep down in her heart, she hoped she could learn the unprecedented method to cultivate multiple small worlds too, being a Star Lord herself!

The Yuantian family’s tests were over.
They were on par with the Loulan family.

Time went by, one Ascendant after the other took the test.
Some of them were unknown, but achieved remarkable results, while some of the considered famous had performed mediocrely.

Finally, the tests were over.

Shen Huang retrieved the fallen angel statue holding the Divine Descent Stone.
Su Ping had learned from his seniors during the testing that the statue was an artifact recovered from some ruins in the depths of the universe.
The ruins had been explored by Celestials, but no one knew what else they had found.

“Here’s a ranking based on your performance just now; you should know your capabilities well,” said Shen Huang on the throne, “Every army needs a commander, and the strongest among you shall be appointed.
Now, please step out if you want to compete for the position.”

Everyone was exchanging looks after hearing that.

All of them had thought that the commander would be picked before the generals were, so they were more excited than surprised.
The show was finally on.

The fight for the commandery would undoubtedly be the fiercest.

Song Yuan chuckled after hearing his master’s announcement.
“It’s our turn.
Just stand up; no need to be courteous.”

“Honest we shall be then, first senior brother.
I hope you won’t go easy on me if we run into each other,” said Ji Xueqing while chuckling, then she stood up.

“I would also like to try,” said Senior Brother Han with a smile.

Most of the seats around Su Ping were empty after they stood.
He had been sitting between his third senior brother and fourth senior sister.
Many of his seniors were Heavenly Lords.

Altogether nine of his seniors stood up.

“Senior Brother You Long, go for it!” Su Ping cheered.

The latter smiled.
“I should be able to win as long as I don’t encounter the monsters that sat next to you.”

The nearby Zhu Feng said angrily, “Stop being pretentious; everybody knows that you’re as sly as a leech.”

The Heavenly Lords from the other forces had also moved by then.

As for the Ascendants who weren’t Heavenly Lords, most were sensible enough to sit that one out.
Only three of them chose to join the competition, which caught a lot of attention.

All those present looked around to see the participants, seeing more than forty Heavenly Lords in total!

Only thirteen of them stayed in the auditorium.
They had obviously chosen to save their strength after considering their odds.

“All right.
Everyone will enter the void battlefield where we left our clones.
You’ll be qualified to join the following contest if you can endure one punch given by a clone; those who fail will be eliminated.
You can come out and wait for the next competition round.”

Everybody was calm.
They had clearly been previously briefed about the selection process.

All the Heavenly Lords rushed into the bubbly battlefield.

The fog in the partial bubble was dispersed when they entered, revealing the vast terrains inside.
All the participants were as small as ants inside.
It seemed that the inner space had been expanded hundreds of times.

Everybody then saw the three Celestials inside.
They were actually clones with Celestial power.

Endure one punch from a Celestial? Su Ping’s eyes glittered.
He looked at his master hovering above. With how sturdy my body is, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to take a punch from my master, right?
