The media and the people out there had been wondering who the master of that skeleton was.

None of them expected to find that it belonged to Boss Su!

Boss Su is a Star State bigshot!

And yet, one of his battle pets is not at the Star State?

However, considering the apt.i.tude of that skeleton… It did make sense. It was just as valuable as a Star State pet, considering how it crushed all the Cla.s.s A pets. It would excel in its level once it broke through to the Star State!

“This explains why it's so tough. I didn't know it belonged to Boss Su.”

“No wonder, no wonder…”

“I was curious why my dragon escaped in the battle the moment it saw this skeleton, although it's usually very aggressive. They must've trained together!”

“Trained together? Your pet was surely traumatized!”

Everybody whispered to each other and even forgot about the expert from the Hugh Mia Academy who was still lying in the pit.

“Sir!”

The white-robed young man and the woman, however, didn't forget him. They hurriedly gave him a hand.

Grange looked awful, blood dripping from his lips. He was still in half-dragon fusion at the moment, fully covered in scales. However, blood was still leaking from his chest and his arms. That was because he had exerted too much strength to block Su Ping's attack.

It wasn't hard to imagine what a fierce attack he had endured.

Seeing that Su Ping had canceled the fusion, Grange gritted his teeth and followed suit.

He felt an even greater pain when the pet's power left his body, unable to suppress a grimace. He felt like his chest was burning, and even breathing was extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at Grange who had just stood up, Su Ping said casually, “You may leave.”

The previous attack was something he was testing. He could heavily wound someone at the peak of the Star State by combining the power of four laws and the power of faith on the bone saber!

He didn't even go full out.

After all, he could have merged with another pet, as he had only merged with the Little Skeleton with its innate skill.

Both the white-robed young man and the woman looked at Su Ping in shock. They could hardly accept that he had wounded Grange like that. Even though their senior was only at the beginning phase of the Star State, he had a terrifying battle pet that could defeat most people in the mid phase of the Star State!

Alas, he had been quickly defeated by Su Ping nonetheless!

Is this young man at the peak of the Star State?

If so, our student really deserved to be killed!

How should she not be killed after offending someone who was close to becoming a Star Lord?

Grange gritted his teeth and glared at Su Ping with fiery eyes. However, he didn't say anything back in the end. There was nothing he could say about his failure.

Furthermore…

There was a 90% chance that a Star Lord was behind that young man!

Don't let me find an opportunity to get back at you… He secretly gritted his teeth. It was better not to utter such a declaration in public, lest the enemy be warned.

Maliciousness should be well hidden.

As the old saying went, real secrets shouldn't even be confessed to the G.o.ds!

“Let's go!”

The white-robed young man looked at Su Ping and escaped into the secondary s.p.a.ce, taking Grange away along with the woman.

The customers outside of the shop modestly cheered in low voices after they left.

Su Ping looked at the crowd in silence. He returned to the shop and asked Tang Ruyan to close the door.

Su Ping reflected on the recent battle once he entered the store.

He had learned the horrors of the power of faith from the earlier battle.

He probably wouldn't have beat the guy with just the power of four laws he had grasped.

According to Joanna, Star State experts who had grasped three laws were at the top of the beginning phase, and those who grasped four laws were in the middle phase!

Those who grasped seven laws were in the advanced phase of the Star State!

Those who grasped nine laws were at the peak!

Those who fully comprehended ten laws and combined them were at the very top of the Star State. They had a chance to make a breakthrough and become Star Lords, to then be able to construct their own worlds to absorb the power of faith.

In addition, there was another case: the cultivators who worked on one law!

Those who took that path focused on and devoted themselves to one law.

Halfway through the complete understanding of the law, this would result in something as powerful as attaining three laws, and they were considered to be in the mid phase of the Star State.

Understanding most of the law would produce results as powerful as attaining seven or eight laws, and they were considered to be in the advanced phase of the Star State!

They would be able to establish their own worlds and become Star Lords when they ultimately grasped the law.

Su Ping had looked into it using the Lord Badge.

About twenty percent of the current Star State cultivators practiced multiple laws, while eighty percent of them practiced one law in the Federation!

Although it was harder to focus on one law, the odds of becoming a Star Lord were higher that way. That was the conclusion of the top experts, and common sense, in all the Federation.

While it was harder to dig into the deepest level of a law, as long as you kept digging and learned, you would certainly be able to establish a world of your own.

Multiple laws were different. Firstly, one might get distracted when studying multiple fields. It isn't easy to grasp laws; there was a need to study hard and put in a tremendous effort.

Furthermore, when someone did grasp ten laws in the end, there was still the complication of

comprehending and combining them. If they couldn't be combined, you would have to keep studying!

Even the Star State experts had a limited longevity; each law might involve hundreds of years worth of pondering.

Also, even if the laws were combined, none would be certain about what path they had grasped, or what unknown elements it contained.

There weren't clear recipes, not even in the Federation; you would have to explore on your own.

However, it was said that some of the major forces had their secret recipes, which were their core secrets; they were just like the secret recipes to make delicious food.

Su Ping had mastered four laws; G.o.d of Lightning and the law of s.p.a.ce were more powerful than Annihilation and Boom. However, he only had a combat ability in the mid phase of the Star State.

If he merged with his pets, he would be able to unleash the power of almost eight laws.

After all, he could make use of the laws his pets had grasped, even if he already had them.

If he merged with two pets, he was able to fight against peak Star State warriors.

The experts of such rank also had the option of merging with a pet, and their outburst would become as powerful as Su Ping's dual merging.

Su Ping had defeated his opponent mainly because of the power of faith attached to the bone saber, which was greater and heavier than astral power. If astral power was mist, the power of faith would be steel!

The two kinds of energies were on completely different levels.

That was also the reason why Star Lords were able to kill Star State experts so easily!

Unfortunately, even though I can resurrect infinitely, I can't get any power of faith in the cultivation sites. I'm much weaker than them. If I had some, I would have been even stronger, Su Ping thought.

“You found the power of faith?”

Joanna moved closer. She had already noticed the power of faith inside the Little Skeleton, and was slightly surprised. She found that Su Ping was more and more enigmatic.

“Only by chance.”

“I'm surprised to see you have a container for it. That bone seems rather unusual.”

“I don't know anything about it; I picked it up next to an ancient beast. Speaking of which, do you have any items that can collect the power of faith? Or do I have to collect it in the world that I build?”

“The items able to store the power of faith are extremely rare and precious. My original self has some Star Lord weapons, but you're not able to use them yet,” said Joanna straight off, as if she had seen through Su Ping.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows and looked at her, knowing that she would never lie to him because of pettiness.

“So to speak, there's no other way?”

Joanna shook her head and said, “There is, but it's too complicated for me to explain it to you. Maybe you'll find a solution in the future, but there's nothing I can do right now.”

She knew that there was a powerful and mysterious being behind Su Ping's back; she didn't have to offer any advice as things were.

Su Ping didn't know what to say after hearing that. He had to give up.

I'll just check the system shop for this week.

Su Ping displayed the system shop, a process that had been disrupted by the three aggressors.

There were still items available, just as usual; the special-grade beast-catching ring was among them.

The second item was named Condensed Blood Dragon Crystal!

Its price was ninety-two million energy points!

Description: The dragons' and undead pets' favorite treasure. It contains an ultimate power which can perfect their bloodlines.

It's even more expensive than the Thunder Ocean Fruit? Su Ping was slightly surprised. He looked at the energy balance of his store. The recently flouris.h.i.+ng business had already earned him 1.2 billion energy points over the past few days!

It was already enough for him to upgrade the Chaos Spirit Pool, or the store itself once again!

However, Su Ping wasn't in a rush to upgrade the store. For sure, more functions and permissions would be made available after the upgrade, but his training abilities and level were too low at the moment.

Even if he was allowed to train Star State pets in the shop, he would be incapable of doing so.

He would also become poor again if he upgraded the store.

As for the Chaos Spirit Pool, it should be upgraded.

A level-5 Chaos Spirit Pool had a small chance of breeding Star State pets. Every breeding session would cost a hundred million energy points, which equaled ten billion astral coins!

A Star State pet was worth much more than ten billion on the market; they could easily be sold for a trillion!

More importantly, once the level of the Chaos Spirit Pool was improved, the lower limit of the pets it bred would also be improved!

Battle pets bred by a level-5 Chaos Spirit Pool would have mid-level apt.i.tudes at the very least!

Considering the system's personality, the inferior Star State pets would probably be sold so cheaply that not even the breeding costs could be covered. However, if they at least had mid-level apt.i.tudes, every Star State pet would produce an income of tens of millions of energy points!

I'll buy the Condensed Blood Dragon Crystal first.

Su Ping simply paid for the special-grade beast catching ring and the Condensed Blood Dragon Crystal.

Su Ping stored the beast-catching ring for the moment.

The Condensed Blood Dragon Crystal—which had already been delivered to his inventory—was a golden crystal with b.l.o.o.d.y veins on the surface. Su Ping considered for a moment and decided to strengthen his best pet for now.

The Little Skeleton was still the choice for the best resources.

“Eat it.” Su Ping threw the crystal to the Little Skeleton.

Joanna was stunned to see the Condensed Blood Dragon Crystal that Su Ping had suddenly taken out. She could tell that the crystal was extraordinary; it contained the refined aura of ancient dragons. It was definitely a special treasure.

And yet, Su Ping had taken it out so casually, to later give it to the Little Skeleton?

This guy is so rich, and yet he dares to take advantage of me all the time…

Joanna instantly became angry. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Su Ping then looked at the third item, which was a drop of feather blood from an ancient phoenix.

Its price was 210 million energy points!

Su Ping was shocked by the price. Even a hundred million energy points was already an unaffordable price for him in the past. And yet, this item went for 210 million?
