This angry punch made the seal vibrate. Even the stage was shaking because of the strong impact. At the bottom of the seal, the junction between the seal and the ground, a huge crack with the width of half a palm appeared and was expanding quickly!

The seal that had never been broken one bit ever since the beginning of the Elite League cracked under this one punch!

Deathly stillness covered up the venue.

It was as if someone had pressed the mute button in the vast venue. No one was making a sound.

Everyone was staring openmouthed, aghast.

Apart from the audience, in the front row, the family heads, the representatives from the government, as well as Yin Feng and Zhao Wuji, all of them stood up from their chairs and stared in bewilderment.

The seal… was broken?!

The seal that could stand a strike from a legendary battle pet warrior was broken?!!

Even the family heads that were usually sophisticated and hard to read were losing control of their expressions out of astonishment.

“What…”

Qin Shuhai was taken aback. He had recognized that the titled battle pet warrior that came out from nowhere was Su Ping. The talented young man I met in the Mysterious Realm.

But what is the meaning of this?

Legendary battle pet warrior?!

Qin Shuhai couldn’t believe that thought in his mind. That was not a sane thought!

He just felt that this young man was unfamiliar, as if he had never understood or known the young man.

Inside the seal.

Yan Bingyue would rarely show any emotions, but at the moment, the stupefied look was frozen on her face.

It never occurred to her that the seal could break!

She was aware of how strong the seal could be. The device used was the same in all the base cities and the seal could withstand a strike from a legendary battle pet warrior! Those below the legendary rank would never damage the seal one bit!

Whoosh~!

All of a sudden, a gust of cold wind that could cut through bone and flesh assaulted her!

As the seal broke, the young man outside the seal slowly took a step forward!

With that step, he was inside the seal!

He was like a vicious and savage beast that had been finally set free from imprisonment!

The profound killing intent gradually seeped to every corner inside the seal, on the stage. People could even smell the smell of blood in the air. How many killings and battles would he have to go through to exhibit a killing intent of this level?!

That killing intent pulled Yan Bingyue’s thought back to reality. She was shivering, feeling chills all over her body.

She felt the world around her turned pitch dark in an instant.

The only thing that remained in the world of darkness was her and that violent person. At that moment, she was isolated from everyone else and she was the target!

No one could save her!

Fear filled her eyes. She bit her tongue. The pain cleared her mind from the fear of violent killing intent.

She stared at the pair of eyes that were full of fury. Her heart was pounding violently. Although she had grown up in that place and had undertaken endless risky training and had tainted her hands many times with blood, she was feeling scared at the moment. She thought nothing could frighten her anymore. She was tasting the taste of death in her mouth, quite clearly.

In this critical moment, her brain was working quickly so that she was able to clear her mind and calm herself down. She quickly flew toward the place where the judges floated in the air and shouted at the same time, “Come and help me. What are you doing there?!”

The two judges were still in shock because of the broken seal. They came back to their senses upon hearing the shout. The judges turned pale. They realized that the titled battle pet warrior was probably Su Lingyue’s family member and had stepped in to intervene in the match, furious because Su Lingyue was losing.

The judges were unwilling but they had to do their job. They looked at each other and eventually decided to face the music. They flew to Yan Bingyue. Anyway, Yan Bingyue came from a powerful background. They could not allow her to be killed in public.

It was when the two judges were about to do something when a clap of thunder rumbled.

Following that was a bolt of lightning that was glaring to the eyes.

The next second, another bolt of lightning flashed in front of Yan Bingyue. After the glaring light vanished, a figure was revealed. It was Su Ping.

Thunder Sprint in the air!

That quick speed took Yan Bingyue by surprise and frightened her.

He said nothing and made no sound.

Yan Bingyue saw a pair of eyes. That was a pair of blood-red eyes that contained fury and extreme coldness. The look in those eyes expressed contempt, aversion, and tiredness. That was a look that no human being, no other living creature would want to see!

Yan Bingyue was shaking uncontrollably.

She couldn’t stop it. She was shaking out of instinct and fear!

“Give… me,” he said slowly and in a low voice.

Yan Bingyue was still staring blankly. Before she came back to her senses, she felt a cold sensation coming from her wrist. Next, she saw a girl appearing in the young man’s arms.

The girl was Su Lingyue, whom she should be holding in her hand.

But on Su Lingyue’s hair, there was a hand.

It was… her hand!

Yan Bingyue lowered her head and gazed at her hand in confusion. The hand was gone, cut off from her wrist!

Blood was oozing out but she couldn’t feel any

pain!

“I am sorry…” Su Ping whispered hoarsely. The raging and screaming killing intent and all of his negative emotions had faded away at this moment. Staring at the girl in his arms, he suddenly realized that he had been wrong all this time.

He wanted to hone Su Lingyue’s mind so that she would become stronger.

So that she could do well even without him.

But…

They were family! Why would she have to leave him?

Why did he push her to such a harsh competition? Even without him, considering Su Lingyue’s talent and her academic performance, when she graduated, she would have found a good job or she could climb to a high status as an explorer. Either way, she could live without worrying about food or clothing.

But this day, the competition had almost cost her life.

If that had actually happened, Su Ping didn’t know how to face his life from that day on. This would be something he would regret forever!

“I should be the one saying sorry…”

In his arms, Su Lingyue put on a bitter smile. “I lost. I couldn’t…”

All of sudden, something leaped to her mind that changed her expression. She darted a glance to the Moonfrost Dragon on the ground, only to see that the dragon was still on its knees with its front limbs supporting its body on the ground. The scales were still falling and blood was still spilling. It seemed the dragon was still trying to fight back the effect of disobeying her order.

“No!” Tears once again broke out. She turned to Su Ping, grabbed his collar, and begged, terrified, “Ping, save the dragon. Save Frosty. Please. I’m begging you. Save the dragon. You gave me the dragon. You must know something. Please…”

She had never once begged Su Ping in all of her life.

Su Ping had changed into a different person whom she had become to admire.

Even so, she never wanted to say the word “beg” to this guy. It was like some weird expression of her pride. But right then, none of that mattered.

To hell with her pride. She forgot about it.

She just wanted to have the dragon saved!

She just wanted to save the one that would rather sacrifice itself than hurt her… the one that was her friend!!

Hearing her words, Su Ping cast a glance at the Moonfrost Dragon as well. What the Moonfrost Dragon did had exceeded his expectation as well. He didn’t know that the dragon and Su Lingyue had forged such a close relationship within such a short span of time. Not every battle pet could have done this!

Su Ping wore a grave expression as he saw more and more wounds appearing on the dragon’s body. Electric sparks appeared around him. He dashed and appeared in front of the Moonfrost Dragon the next second. At the same time, he put Su Lingyue down. The Moonfrost Dragon was on the ground. The dragon was still trying to fight back the force that was corroding its body but the dragon was utterly worn out. The dragon was shedding blood like water.

As Su Lingyue and Su Ping appeared in front of its eyes, the dragon managed to put on a smile. The dragon raised one of its paws, trying to pat Su Lingyue. However, with one paw lifted off the ground, the dragon almost fell on Su Lingyue. In a hurry, the dragon put its paw back down on the ground but coughed out some blood.

Su Ping used astral powers to help the Moonfrost Dragon brace itself.

He calmed down his anger. The priority at the time was to save the Moonfrost Dragon. “Xu Kuang!”

Su Ping shouted. Thanks to the astral power, his voice was loud enough to penetrate the seal.

Xu Kuang was still on his seat, in a complete daze. At Su Ping’s shout, Xu Kuang trembled and came back to his senses.

“Yes!” Xu Kuang shouted at once.

Qin Shaotian and the other three turned to Xu Kuang when he shouted.

“Get the Dark Dragon Hound out,” Su Ping ordered.

Xu Kuang was baffled. Even so, Xu Kuang opened up a swirl and summoned the Dark Dragon Hound as required. When the Dark Dragon Hound came out and saw Su Ping, it barked at him. “Come here.”

Su Ping ordered with his mind.

The Dark Dragon Hound ran toward the stage. After Su Ping had blasted a hole in the seal, the damage was soon repaired after more energy was supplied to the seal. Back when Su Ping was about to strike Yan Bingyue, Yin Fengxiao, who had turned ghastly pale in fright, immediately shouted to the working staff to open up the seal. Without the hindrance of the seal, the Dark Dragon Hound ran onto the stage and hopped to where Su Ping was. The Dark Dragon Hound was very happy that its master had summoned it. The hound rolled around in front of Su Ping, wagged its tail, and then squatted down like any other dog with its tongue sticking out. That was an adorable look.

The audience was so surprised that their eyes stared woodenly and their jaws hung.

What’s the deal with the Dark Dragon Hound?

Wasn’t it Xu Kuang’s battle pet?

Why was the Dark Dragon Hound so comfortable with the strange young man?! “Healing!”

Su Ping paid no regard to the Dark Dragon Hound’s cute action and commanded with a frown.

The Dark Dragon Hound was visibly relieved that Su Ping was asking it to use its favorite skills. The Dark Dragon Hound nodded and cast many healing skills at the Moonfrost Dragon whose life was fading.

As the Dark Dragon Hound was unleashing the many ninth-rank healing skills, once again, the people in the audience were transfixed. Xu Kuang’s reaction was no different. How could a battle pet of the demon family use so many healing skills?!

Soon, with the help of the healing skills, the injuries suffered by the Moonfrost Dragon slowed down. But the internal damage inside its body was still progressing.

Su Ping sent some astral powers to the inside of the Moonfrost Dragon and checked carefully. A moment later, Su Ping breathed in relief. Luckily, Su Lingyue had canceled her order in time and given its dragon nature, the Moonfrost Dragon was born to be strong. Adding the Dark Dragon Hound’s healing skills, the damage was finally stopped.

The Moonfrost Dragon’s vitality would be undermined but it would survive.
