Chapter 575 A Name Remembered by All

Fei Tianyi: “??”

His bafflement increased.

While Han Yuxiang was his teacher, he had never acted like one when he interacted with Fei Tianyi. Han Yuxiang was quite fond of him and had never said any harsh words to him.

This was the first time for him to see his old teacher behave so seriously.

“Sir, this is?” Fei Tianyi decided to ask.

He could somehow tell that his teacher was being mean because of that young man.

The young man appeared to be Su Lingyue’s brother.

DI

Fei Tianyi had heard that Su Lingyue was from some average base city, who had been recruited due to winning first place at the base city’s Elite League selection. He had seen her before. That girl was nothing special though her battle pet was not; even he was a little bit scared of that Moonfrost Dragon but that was it. It was a waste for a mediocre master to have such a powerful battle pet.

“This is Mr. Su, Su Lingyue’s brother,” Han Yuxiang explained right away, “Mr. Su is here to find out the reason why Miss Su disappeared. Tell Mr. Su everything about your search.”

Fei Tianyi raised his eyebrows. “Sir, I’ve already told you about it. You know that I’m not a fan of repeating myself.” HanYuxiang stole a glance at Su Ping and noticed the coldness in the latter’s eyes. Han Yuxiang cautioned Fei Tianyi at once, “Tianyi, behave. Mr. Su is at the titled rank. He is more prestigious than you can imagine. Be polite.”

Fei Tianyi grinned with sarcasm. Titled rank?

He could tell that without Han Yuxiang pointing it out. After all, he knew quite a few titled battle pet warriors.

Other people might become fearful upon hearing the term “titled-rank,” but not him; not Fei Tianyi.

His target was to reach the legendary rank; he didn’t care about the titled rank at all.

Besides, he could defeat a lot of titled battle pet warriors already.

Only the titled battle pet warriors at the peak and with some unknown skills could intimidate him a bit.

“Sir, I am sorry but I don’t like to be forced into anything,” Fei Tianyi insisted. Although Han Yuxiang had warned him otherwise, he didn’t like to be forced and he didn’t want to force himself.

I don’t want to repeat myself, so deal with that.

He would remain the same even if he was faced with someone at the peak of the titled rank.

“You...”

Han Yuxiang was losing his patience. Fei Tianyi clearly had the impression that Su Ping was just some average titled battle pet warrior. Indeed, he didn’t have to do anything if that were the case, and he didn’t even have to offer any greetings. But Su Ping was not like that. He had killed legendary battle pet warriors, challenged the Tower and he defeated the Otherworld Heavenly King. He was even feared by legendary battle pet warriors!

Before Han Yuxiang could warn his student again, Su Ping had already lifted his hand, signaling Han Yuxiang to stop talking.

Su Ping extended his hand.

Whoosh!

Without any warning, without any preparation, Su Ping grabbed Fei Tianyi by the throat, strangling the latter!

Fei Tianyi could feel the strength on those five fingers; they were like five steel bars over his neck; an extra squeeze and his neck would break!

Fei Tianyi was turning red. He was both startled and angry. But that anger changed into complete fear when he saw that indifference in Su Ping’s eyes.

He felt killing intent!

That substantial, profound, and wild killing intent!

Is he going to kill me?!

The very thought was unsettling him. They were on campus and his teacher, the Vice Principal, was right there. How dare this man do this?!

“You said you didn’t like to be forced. What a coincidence... I like to force people,” Su Ping said. “I am asking questions, so answer them. Why do you have to force me to do this? From what I recall, etiquette demands that a master battle pet warrior should act respectfully before a titled battle pet warrior. Why aren’t you treating me with respect? Who said you couldn’t answer my questions?”

“Mr. Su, Mr. Su, please!” Han Yuxiang was pale with fright. He dreaded the chance that Su Ping would really kill Fei Tianyi in a fit of rage. But Fei Tianyi was the star student of the academy!

He had just refreshed his record to the 18th level and he had not graduated yet. He would be able to leave his name in the academy’s history!

People would still talk about him in years to come.

The academy could lose all dignity if he were to die there and then, in Su Ping’s hands!

The commotion caught everyone’s attention. The students swarmed over, only to see that stunning event. Their Senior Fei—who had just come out of the Dragon Tower while showered in glory-was being lifted from the ground by the neck.

Who is that person?

Many students remembered how Su Ping had ridden that dragon on campus. It was certain that Su Ping was someone with a powerful background.

But...

This is the Valiant Academy!

Basically all the enrolled students were from influential families, or they were future family heads.

Fei Tianyi was not from the most influential family, comparatively speaking, but he was without a doubt the most talented one. How could they believe he could end up like this?

Not to mention that Han Yuxiang, Fei Tianyi’s teacher and Vice Principal, was right there. How bold of him!

“Mr. Su, don’t be mad. Calm down, please. He’s just a kid...” Han Yuxiang said in haste. He wanted to stop Su Ping but was afraid.

After all, Su Ping had killed legendary battle pet warriors before. Han Yuxiang was tring his utmost to avoid angering Su Ping further. The students’ jaws fell.

Han Yuxiang is trying to calm Su Ping down?

Isn’t he going to help Fei Tianyi?

Mo Fengping and Xu Kuang had lost their voices. How audacious of Su Ping. And how scared Han Yuxiang was of Su Ping!

Think about it. Su Ping was humiliating Han Yuxiang’s favorite student!

Why is he able to hold back his anger?

“Can you tell me now?” Su Ping looked at the young man he held in a vise grip.

Since the attempt to calm him down had failed, Han Yuxiang changed his target of persuasion to Fei Tianyi. “Will you just tell Mr. Su? Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you.”

Fei Tianyi could not believe that his teacher had just said those words. Humiliated as he was, he could tell that Su Ping did have the courage to make the final, killing move!

“I... will.”

Fei Tianyi squeezed out two words.

It was embarrassing to admit defeat in public, but compared to humiliation, survival was more important; that was the prerequisite for revenge!

Su Ping released him. Fei Tianyi staggered back a little bit and rubbed his neck. He didn’t conceal the anger in his eyes.

He saw that Han Yuxiang was visibly worried. Fei Tianyi eventually decided not to take any risks at the current moment.

There had to be something about the man since it had scared Han Yuxiang so. Even though Fei Tianyi was sure he could defeat a lot of titled battle pet warriors, he believed the smart thing to do right then was to keep a low profile since the man was a mysterious character.

“I will tell you.”

He took a deep breath, his face still dark. “I went in there and went up level by level until I reached the 16th. I found no traces so I got

out.”

“That’s it?” Su Ping raised his eyebrows. “Did you find any clues she might have left behind?”

1111

Fei Tianyi said nothing. He was just following Han Yuxiang’s orders as a mere formality; of course he noticed nothing, given such approach.

He found no trace of her and he got out to report his mission.

“I didn’t,” Fei Tianyi said finally. Of course, he wasn’t going to say he didn’t look. I went in there, trying to find a girl and I found no girl. What more does he want?

Su Ping pulled a long face. He thought he could ask about clues but it turned out that Fei Tianyi was of no use.

“I will go in and take a look,” Su Ping said.

Han Yuxiang tried to stop him. “Mr. Su, there’s the age limit. Anyone over 24 years old cannot go in, not even a legendary battle pet warrior. I’m not lying to you, sir.” Fei Taiyi was surprised by how respectful Han Yuxiang was.

“I didn’t say you lied to me. I know you’re too scared to do that.” Su Ping pushed Han Yuxiang away and strode past him. Out of instinct, Fei Tianyi stepped to the side to make way for Su Ping. Han Yuxiang hurried after Su Ping. “Mr. Su, see, you cannot go in.” Han Yuxiang reached the Dragon Tower before Su Ping. However, something invisible stopped Han Yuxiang from entering.

Su Ping didn’t mind that. He went right through the entrance. Han Yuxiang: “??”

He could not understand.

How did Su Ping get in?

How?!

The Dragon Tower’s strange age limit was a rule that could never be broken, not even by a legendary battle pet warrior!

But Su Ping just went in!!

Han Yuxiang stared as Su Ping vanished with disbelief.

So, is Su Ping as old as he looks?!

A titled battle pet warrior who is not even 24 years old?!

A man younger than 24 was able to kill legendary battle pet warriors?!!

Han Yuxiang was so stunned that he acted as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

If that was the case, then Su Ping was without a doubt the most talented man he had ever seen in his entire life!

“But, how...”

Han Yuxiang’s lips trembled. He had seen Su Ping fight. He had always been under the conviction that Su Ping had to use some special potion to keep his youthful appearance. It turned out that he was indeed young!

Su Ping turned around and said, “Get that stenographer here to show me the way.” Han Yuxiang came back to his senses. Even though he had seen Su Ping many times, he had grasped a completely new perspective of him this day.

He’s so young!

Maybe a little bit too young! “Mr. Su, sorry, but how old are you...?” Han Yuxiang thought he had to ask. Su Ping kept a straight face. “Haven’t you heard? Don’t ask a man about his age.”

Han Yuxiang didn’t know what to say, but thought better and didn’t ask again. He called the young stenographer over and said, “Follow Mr. Su. Do whatever he tells you to do. Do you understand me?”

The young stenographer nodded. He had also seen how Su Ping had picked Fei Tianyi up. He had thought that Su Ping was some senior warrior but it turned out that he was able to enter the Dragon Tower!

Incredible!

“I understand, sir.” The young stenographer nodded.

Han Yuxiang patted his shoulder and told him to go over to Su Ping.

Su Ping stepped into space with the young stenographer.

The students burst into a clamor of comments after Su Ping vanished from their sight. They were still shocked and confused.

They shared the young stenographer’s feelings. No one could have foreseen that the man would be able to enter the Dragon Tower. Wasn’t he supposed to be an elderly warrior?

Fei Tianyi felt his mind was blank. His hatred and anger toward Su Ping had become puzzlement.

He had thought that Su Ping was some old warrior. It turned out that he was also a young person!

Someone his age had just picked him up by the neck, of all things! Fei Tianyi felt humiliated.

“Su Lingyue’s brother. Fine. Let’s see which level you can reach...” Fei Tianyi stared at the peak with rich killing intent in his eyes.

He would immediately challenge Su Ping if he was unable to reach the 18th level!

“Sir, who is he...?”

Mo Fengping approached Han Yuxiang while staring into the dark cave.

Han Yuxiang came back to his senses, his heart still fluttered with fear. “He is Su Lingyue’s brother, Su Ping. All of you will remember that name...”
