Chapter 550 Fast Improvement After repeated deaths, dozens of times, Tang Ruyan took the fight more seriously. Even though she would come back to life, her death would always be miserable. She tried to use all sorts of mind tricks to manipulate the “dream” but realized that it wouldn’t work. She had to follow Su Ping’s instructions and fight the beast king again and again. That was the first time for her to fight a beast king She gradually found some fun in the repeated failure. Since she wasn’t dying, she was able to experience the beast king’s strength, and the longer she was able to last, the better she could get used to the beast king’s methods. She was immersed in the feeling of progressing by leaps and bounds. I can only battle a beast king in my dreams, Tang Ruyan thought. Half an hour later... 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 Together with the other pets, and after many, many deaths, Tang Ruyan had finally dragged the beast king to its death. The beast king was not a stupid one. After determining that those things could not be killed, the battle pet chose to run away. However, the Purple Python would not stand for it. At the moment, the Purple Python’s combat strength had reached 13 points. When the beast king showed signs of fleeing, the Purple Python would entangled it and finally kill it by relying on teamwork. Afterward, Su Ping took Tang Ruyan and pressed on. Soon, they encountered another beast king. The previous battle had lasted for a long time that the other surrounding beasts were alerted. Su Ping reached a swift decision. Tang Ruyan and the customers’ battle pets were the ones who would do the fighting, while the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound would wait on the side, ready to jump in when necessary. Time zipped by. Su Ping, Tang Ruyan, and the battle pets played as they fought their way forward in that forest. They had killed many beasts and most had been Ocean State beast kings; few were beasts of the ninth-rank. They had later encountered two Void State beast kings. They encountered another beast at the ninth-rank when they reached the edge of the forest. That time, Su Ping didn’t send out any of their battle pets and asked Tang Ruyan, who was the weakest, to fight the beast all by herself. Seventh-rank against ninth-rank! After five deaths, Tang Ruyan had finally killed the beast that was at the lower position of the ninth-rank. In a few days, Tang Ruyan had progressed by leaps and bounds. Although she was from the Tang Family and had learned many secret skills, humans were destined to be weaker than beasts. They encountered another beast of the ninth-rank. A battle pet warrior would have to rely on his or her battle pets to defeat a beast of the same rank. However, Tang Ruyan was already able to rely on herself and kill a ninth-rank beast. Her gathered experience made her become more sensitive to danger. Her potential was unleashed after rounds of deaths and revivals. “You had to die five times. That is not good.” Su Ping shook his head. He wasn’t happy about the result. For the other battle pets, after days of training, they would have found flaws of that beast to kill it after three attempts at best. He had to admit that battle pets were more perceptive than humans Tang Ruyan glared at Su Ping who had just scolded her. “I’m at the seventh-rank. It’s already amazing I can make the beast go away.” Su Ping replied calmly, “What’s amazing about that? When I was at the seventh-rank, I was able to kill a guy like that with one punch.” Tang Ruyan saw that the situation was unfair. “Do you think everyone is like you? You freak. “Anyway, which state are you? I heard that the legendary rank has different states.” She was curious. Su Ping had been able to defeat a monster like the Otherworld Heavenly King and could easily defeat a beast king. He had to be at the legendary rank, although he might be a little bit too young for that. Of course, if he could defeat the Otherworld Heavenly King-while not being at the legendary rank—that would be outrageous. “I’ve just reached the titled rank,” Su Ping answered, “Save your energy. Think about how you can defeat the next beast with one life.” “Titled? Who are you fooling?” Tang Ruyan retorted, “You’re a liar even when you’re in my dream. What a jerk!” Su Ping was puzzled. What is going on inside her head? Also, since when did she start to sound cheeky, like me? Also, why would I say “like me”? “Save it. Let’s move!” Su Ping was not in the mood to continue arguing. Tang Ruyan curled her lips. They left the forest and went on. Su Ping thought that if he were able to find a city, he would be able to ask about the goddess that Dusk was waiting for. Time passed quickly. Su Ping failed to find the goddess in that realm. He chose another divinity site and took Tang Ruyan with him again. He also took with him some customers’ pets. Tang Ruyan had become used to that type of training. During the time he was at the store, Su Ping would pull her into his contract space, not allowing her to see the store. Since she thought she was dreaming, he believed he could use that to his advantage... It would make wiping her memory easier. Later, if she thought of something and asked him, he would simply deny it and she wouldn’t have any evidence. The second place they visited had a harsh environment. There were ruins everywhere. It seemed that a gruesome battle had just ended. They saw not only remains of gods but also that of beasts. They explored the place; whenever they met a group of gods fighting, they would jump in and help the former. After they helped the gods out, Su Ping became acquainted with some of them and he asked about the goddess, using Divine Energy to put up an image of her but they didn’t recognize her. To repay his kindness, the gods invited Su Ping to visit their city but he declined. He was there for training, not for leisurely travel. Su Ping got to know that the balance between the gods and beasts was upset because of a Void Bug invasion. Those bugs worked with the beasts and drove the gods away as they tried to take over the place entirely. The leader of the beasts was a beast king at the Star Rank. Su Ping asked about the location of the beast king, then said goodbye to the gods, and went for the beast king. They saw many battles between gods and beasts along the way. He offered help in the form of training for the battle pets and Tang Ruyan as well. When they encountered Void State beasts, he would tell Tang Ruyan to observe and let the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound fight. Void State beast kings could start to use elementary skills of space and kill a person like Tang Ruyan right away. She would not receive any experience from that. By the eighth day, Su Ping found the location of the Star Rank beast king. It was a desert that was completely occupied by beasts and bugs. Su Ping was not here to kill said beast king but to find the best place for training. With so many beasts and bugs in the area, Su Ping told Tang Ruyan and all the battle pets to join in. All except for the Little Skeleton. The Little Skeleton was way too powerful than a Void State beast. A fight against such a creature would only count as a warm-up exercise for the Little Skeleton. On the tenth day, they made their way to the Star Rank beast king, one that had come into an agreement with the Void Bugs. The beast king was a centipede that was over a thousand meters long, with golden scales. The centipede had eaten up many gods. The huge insect was at the Star Rank and the energy leaked from its body had already stressed him out. Lucky for him, it wasn’t the first time he had met such a creature. He had once seen a purple dragon that was at the Star Rank. He was able to gather himself soon. But that was not the case for Tang Ruyan and the other battle pets. They were all shuddering in fear; some even collapsed on the ground. Su Ping didn’t worry; this was a rare chance for Tang Ruyan and the other battle pets. If they were in the real world, staying that close to a Star Rank creature would already have led them to their deaths. But, they were able to observe such a creature at a close range. It was training for their minds and willpower. Su Ping summoned the Little Skeleton and told Tang Ruyan and the other pets to fight the surrounding beasts while he and the Little Skeleton dealt with the beast king. Deaths and revivals were alternated. Finally, their time was up. When they were about to leave, same as before, Su Ping placed Tang Ruyan in his contact space. The beast king had been unable to kill Su Ping on account of his revivals; Su Ping and the Little Skeleton were also unable to kill the beast king. After all, they were too weak. The Little Skeleton was not at the Fate State yet. To defeat a Star Rank creature was a bit too much. While Su Ping was training Tang Ruyanelsewhere, at the Yedou Base City... The Tang Family compound. That was the most prosperous and most glamorous place of all the base cities, Yedou. Of the entire Yedou Base City, the Tang Family was certainly the most influential family. Thanks to the Tang Family, the Yedou Base City was able to be one of the leading Class A base cities. The base city and the Tang Family were closely tied together. When beasts came to invade the base city, The Tang Family would offer great help. At the moment, as required by the Tang Family, the city gates had been closed. Questioning travelers was being carried out. Trading with the other base cities had come to a pause. The base city would only open its doors if a truly influential force was demanding it; otherwise, the base city would be closed to all. That night, There was no sound in the huge Tang Family compound. The core members and elders were gathered in the hall. The elders were sitting on their sandalwood chairs while the core members were standing in the hall.
