Chapter 416 Federal Astral Academy



Chapter 416 Federal Astral Academy

“No one is coming from the outside.”

Lin Ziqing grinned. “I think that guy named Su Ping has yet to realize what has been going on here. He must believe that passing the test on the dragon bone tower could guarantee his chance of receiving the legacy. I wonder what look we’ll see on his face when he comes and finds out that Lady Yuan has taken away the legacy.”

“Ha, ha, we will surely enjoy that look, I tell you that!”

The others joined in the laugh.

It felt good to set someone up! They were aware that Su Ping was being supported by some legendary battle pet warrior as well, someone more powerful than Yuan Tianchen, an entity they couldn’t afford to provoke. But things had changed. Once Yuan Tianchen’s granddaughter obtained the legacy, she would be qualified to be admitted to the Federal Astral Academy. Once she graduated, she would grow to be a powerful legendary battle pet warrior; she would even have a chance to go beyond the legendary rank!

With such a potential, she was worthy of their investment and trust.

Hearing the sarcastic laughter, Venerable the Blade and Wu Guansheng looked at each other and both darted a troubled look at Lin Ziqing.

If he knew what had happened in the Pixie Pet Store three days prior, what would the look on his face be like? Would he still be able to laugh?

Receiving the legacy would mean that Yuan Tianchen’s granddaughter would enter a path headed to a promising future, but even with that great potential, she still needed time to grow. Truth be told, at the current stage, Venerable the Blade and Wu Guansheng believed more in Su Ping.

A short-tempered guy that they could never anger.

Of course, at the same time, they couldn’t offend Yuan Tianchen, either. Therefore, Venerable the Blade and Wu Guansheng merely listened quietly without saying anything, nor showing any stance.

They could choose one party to side with, but once they chose the wrong one, they would have to suffer grave consequences! Right at that moment.

A golden seal layer rippled in front of the dragon bone tower.

The ones who were laughing stopped right then. Everyone held their breaths nervously as they stared at the opening of the dragon bone tower.

A slim girl came out. She was wearing a light blue armor. The petite girl was none other than Yuan Linglu.

“Lady Yuan!”

“She’s here!”

The guards were excited. Venerable the Blade observed the situation, as well as the other titled battle pet warriors. They instantly noticed that Yuan Linglu’s energy had grown. There was something strange as well. It was as if there were a vicious beast hiding inside her.

She had received the legacy, hadn’t she?

Although this had been anticipated for quite a while, people were still amazed when it had become a fact. She was a rare talent who could grow up to be one who could rule the entire Subcontinent District! “Lulu.”

Yuan Tianchen was pleased to see his granddaughter. “So, how was it? I see that your rank hasn’t been increased by a large margin. Is it because the legacy is sealed within you?”

It was usual that legacies from powerful creatures would be too formidable at the beginning. The legacy and the power would be sealed within the inheritor. That was a common occurrence.

His words pulled Yuan Linglu from the temporary daze she had experienced after the teleportation. She bit her lips as she looked at the happiness in Yuan Tianchen’s eyes.

She felt sorry and guilty!

Such a complicated feeling.

“What?”

Yuan Tianchen realized that something must have gone wrong from the look on his granddaughter’s face. She shouldn’t have been like this.

“What happened?” Yuan Tianchen set up a barrier to isolate others before he asked her.

Since their voices had been blocked from prying ears, Yuan Linglu could no longer remain calm. She burst into tears. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry! I didn’t get the legacy. I have failed. Someone robbed me of my chance.”

Boom!

Upon hearing this shocking piece of news, Yuan Tianchen felt his brain go blank.

Failed?

Robbed?

How could this happen?!

He calculated the time so accurately. He had opened up the remaining two seals in the dragon scale lands the moment she climbed over the ninth dragon bone!

She was right around the corner to receive the legacy. How could she have failed? How could she lose the chance?!

“Who did it?!”

Experienced as Yuan Tianchen was, it took him a few seconds to come back to his senses. He couldn’t help but blurt out the questions and as he did so; he was emitting a killing intent. He already knew the answer but he was confused, angry!

“The guy that you told me about, grandpa. He was already there when I reached the ninth dragon bone.” Yuan Linglu bit her lips in sorrow.

Yuan Tianchen squinted.

Su Ping was already inside? So, that would mean that my plan in the Mysterious Realm had been leaked to Su Ping, right?

Besides, Su Ping managed to sneak in without anyone knowing!

That is to say... Someone on the inside is a mole!

Boom!

A stream of formidable killing intent was burst out. Yuan Tianchen was foaming at the mouth.

Even Yuan Linglu was a bit scared by her grandpa. Realizing that he had misunderstood her, she hurried to explain.

Soon, she had explained all the details of the entire process. Including how she got the mark and what that could do.

Yuan Tianchen stood on the spot, dumbstruck.

Then, a surge of grievance filled him. He clenched his fists in indignation. He hadn’t become a victim of that guy’s plotting, but of the dragon king’s soul in the Mysterious Realm!

Su Ping could teleport to this place directly?

He could sense the situation in the dragon scale lands?

That was to say, Su Ping had been in the know of everything he had been doing recently and Su Ping was waiting for him to open up the rest of the seals!

He had been toiling and moiling for that punk!

What the hell?!

Veins were popping out on Yuan Tianchen’s face. It had been years since he had felt this enraged. But recently, he had been angered several times!

First, he had tried to fight that punk, only to end up almost losing his life. It had taken him so much effort to set up that punk. At the end of the day, this had been another wild goose chase. As a matter of fact, he had helped that punk! “So, you’re telling me that the legitimate legacy was snatched by that punk and you only have a small part of it, right?” Yuan Tianchen asked again.

Yuan Linglu felt too ashamed to look at him. She kept her head low and nodded.

Yuan Tianchen filed his teeth!

A long moment later, he took a deep breath and got control of his emotions which had been about to go wild. “Soon, the Federal Astral Academy will come and evaluate candidates. You must get ready. Since you no longer have the legacy, I will think of other ways to increase your potential. Either way, you have to get into the Federal Astral Academy. You wouldn’t enjoy a bright future on the Blue Planet!”

Yuan Linglu, crying, looked up at him. She had failed but her grandpa had not given up on her.

This made her feel all the more pained and guilty!

She would rather have her grandpa scold her, or punish her. That would make her feel better.

“Grandpa, will I make it...?” Yuan Linglu couldn’t help but ask. She had lost completely to Su Ping in the two tests. Also, while they had been planning about the legacy for quite a long time, she still failed. The double setback had crushed her confidence.

Her disheartened words enraged Yuan Tianchen. He pulled a long face and glared at her. “This is not a question of whether you can do it or not. You must! Must! Do you know how your parents passed away? Because of the injustice on the Blue Planet! You must go and leave the Blue Planet!”

Yuan Linglu was stunned by the anger in his eyes.

She instantly calmed down. She realized that all the disappointment, pain and guilt that she had been feeling were ridiculous and laughable. Those emotions would add more shame to her!

She took a deep breath. Once again, determination came back to her.

“I understand, grandpa. I will!”

Yuan Tianchen gazed at her. “Wipe away the tears of the weak. Tears won’t do you any good. They will only make you look ugly.” Yuan Linglu wiped away her tears.

“Good.”

Yuan Linglu had calmed down. Yuan Tianchen removed the barrier.

Venerable the Blade and the others could see both of them again.

Venerable the Blade and Wu Guansheng looked at each other. Both were baffled.

That was strange.

Did something go wrong?

Lin Ziqing, who had been showing his loyalty to Yuan Tianchen, felt nervous. Without Yuan Linglu the potential genius, Lin Ziqing would rather side with Su Ping.

If something had gone wrong in the process, he had been showing support to the wrong party!

“The process has come to an end. The Mysterious Realm is now closed. Everyone go back,” Yuan Tianchen announced calmly.

Everyone was frozen on the spot.

Should this be a cheerful occasion?

And yet, since Yuan Tianchen had said so, they had to do as required.

Yuan Tianchen’s composed look amazed many people. No wonder he was a legendary battle pet warrior. To be able to remain calm at such a grand occasion had made him a model for everyone else.

But Venerable the Blade had noticed something was off. Still, since Yuan Tianchen didn’t speak of it, he couldn’t ask for the reason. He had to bury his confusion deep in his heart.

“Let’s go.”

Yuan Tianchen took Yuan Linglu’s hand and teleported away.

He was aware that Su Ping was still receiving the legacy in the Mysterious Realm, but he didn’t plan on waiting for him there. After all, he couldn’t tell what Su Ping would receive. He wouldn’t want to go for wool and go home shorn.

Yuan Tianchen had always been scared of the girl with the golden hair in Su Ping’s store.

He claimed that he would go back for Su Ping but he only said those words to retain some dignity. Besides, back then, he had thought his granddaughter would surely receive the legacy.

With the legacy, when Yuan Linglu joined the Federal Astral Academy, she would stand among the best. She would be valued.

As long as she was valued in the academy, she could establish many powerful connections even before she graduated. By then, to get back at Su Ping would be a piece of cake.

However, as of that moment, they would have to tread carefully.

As Yuan Tianchen left, the others gradually followed suit. Everyone had a load on their minds.

In the dragon soul’s world.

As time moved on, the golden cocoon shrank. At the moment, the diameter of the cocoon was merely about ten meters with a width of seven to eight meters.

This energy is from the dragon king. I think even my physical strength has been enhanced.

Su Ping was cultivating, sitting next to the cocoon. He had reached the peak of the sixth rank and could make the breakthrough to the seventh rank at any time.

Besides, Su Ping had noticed that his physical strength had been increased but not by a large margin, since he already had the Solar Bulwark inside him.

If other battle pet warriors could cultivate there, their physical strengths would have increased greatly. Su Ping didn’t try to slow down the process. He had built up a solid enough foundation and his astral powers had been refined by the Heaven’s Test. He could even make it all the way to the titled rank and the Heaven’s Test would still help him stabilize his foundation.

He looked at the cocoon. He had not felt anything unique other than the dragon-like body change at the beginning.

From that experience, Su Ping had picked up several dragon skills and even learned a little bit about the rule of fire. He could generate a small fire ball on his hand.

While Su Ping was going to continue his cultivation, he heard a cracking sound on the cocoon.

Su Ping looked up. A beam of golden light jumped into his sight.

After the beam of golden light disappeared, Su Ping saw the Dark Dragon Hound, no... The Golden Dragon Hound.

Su Ping was surprised.
