Chapter 30: Companion Beast Battle, Zhou Shuchen's Challenge!
Chapter 30: Companion Beast Battle, Zhou Shuchen's Challenge!
Before Su Ping, he wasn't sure if the Cloud Heaven Pet Battle Resort could be profitable.
But when he saw the large arena bustling with Beastmasters, he realized it was his own lack of vision.
All Companion Beast businesses were extremely expensive.
The same was true for paid Companion Beast battles.
Battling with friends was free, and Cloud Heaven waived the basic arena fees, as long as there wasn't significant damage.
However, after a battle, treatment and energy recovery were necessary.
This was a significant expense, and if one chose to practice with Cloud Heaven's provided Companion Beasts, there was an additional fee.
Even in combat, if one wanted to fight to their heart's content, spending thousands or tens of thousands in a day was normal.
Companion Beasts were the biggest consumer group in this world.
This was reasonable, as Beastmasters relied on Companion Beasts for their primary combat power, and the Companion Beasts they mastered were key to their extraordinary strength and class advancement.
If it were that easy to obtain, it would be unreasonable.
This massive arena was just one of the battle training arenas in Cloud Heaven's resort.
Even so, this arena offered ring battles, virtual simulations, outdoor battles, and various terrain simulations.
No wonder the business was so good; Cloud Heaven had invested heavily.
Su Ping was intrigued by what he saw.
However, they headed to a separate training ground.
This was the outdoor training ground where Su Ping's Forest Wolves were kept.
Even if they were rented out, not all of Su Ping's Forest Wolves could be selected. Su Ping needed a space to train and wait for battles.
Qin Xiaoxue was also excited, watching Su Ping stand in front of the Forest Wolves. She was genuinely interested in Su Ping and curious about his Companion Beast cultivation methods.
Just then, a phone call came in.
Qin Xiaoxue's eyebrows furrowed, and after a while, she turned to Su Ping:
"Su Ping, I have something to attend to in Linzhou City. I'll be back soon!"
Su Ping didn't mind and nodded.
Li Shu, standing nearby, watched Qin Xiaoxue leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly joined Su Ping, winking and saying:
"Brother Ping, Old Man Ping, Foster Father, when will you teach me your legendary skills?"
"What legendary skills?"
"The art of seducing women!"
Li Shu almost jumped up: "No wonder Yin Yin, the school's top beauty, is interested in you, and you don't even notice. It turns out you've known such a top-tier beauty for a long time!"
Su Ping looked at him suspiciously, thinking that either he lacked experience or that the previous scene wasn't directed at him.
Otherwise,
Zhou Shuchen and the previous Sun Chaoju were examples.
"Besides, when did Yin Yin show interest in me? Stop making up nonsense..."
As Su Ping finished speaking, a voice came from behind:
"Exactly! Li Shu, stop spreading rumors!"
Li Shu turned around, and indeed, it was Zhou Shuchen and the other classmates who had just paid the deposit.
Among them was Yin Yin, whose face seemed slightly flushed after overhearing the conversation.
However, the previous scene had humbled the increasingly arrogant class president over the past month. But without seeing Qin Xiaoxue, he clearly felt relieved.
Zhou Shuchen glared at Su Ping.
Initially, he found Su Ping somewhat disagreeable, but there were no overt conflicts.
However, after graduation, only he and Su Ping were sought out by Zhang Guowei, who believed they had potential.
Li Shu readily accepted Zhang Guowei's recommendation and persuaded his parents to use their savings for the down payment on a Overlord-tier Companion Beast, the Crimson Fang Tiger.
Although he also signed a contract with the Flame King Corporation and took out a loan of several million, he believed it was worth it.
For the sake of becoming a powerful Beastmaster and making his parents proud, living a better life—all these were worth the effort.
What's a little hardship now?
Yet, this guy actually refused Zhang Director's kindness?
Is it because he's relying on his family's wealth?
What's so great about Su Ping?
He only contracted a Forest Wolf as his First Companion Beast, which is an Elite Apex-level beast, but compared to the Scarlet Fang, it's still quite inferior.
With better options available, choosing to contract a Forest Wolf and giving up the better opportunities in Linzhou City to come to this suburban area and inherit a Beastmaster base—isn't this a sign of self-degradation?
In Zhou Shuchen's eyes, this guy is a slacker who doesn't want to strive and only wants to freeload off his parents. How can such a person compare to someone like him who struggles against fate? Zhou Shuchen imagines his future rise, sometimes feeling so moved that he wants to cry.
As for Su Ping? Compared to his destined future as a powerful Beastmaster, what is Su Ping? What's so great about him?
Aside from the deed to the Wood Core Forest Wolf Breeding Base, the base's million-dollar facilities and resources, and the dozens of Forest Wolves each worth over a million, what else does he have?
He can only spend his remaining years in boredom.
And what about Zhou Shuchen?
Aside from the millions in loans, he has a bright future, a grand ambition, and the heart of a strong Beastmaster!
That's enough.
However, the strong draw their swords against the stronger, and the weak punch the weaker.

Therefore, Zhou Shuchen didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect towards Qin Xiaoxue, who could summon a Life Ancient Tree. But after she left, his gaze towards Su Ping became even more resentful.
This guy, Su Ping, truly doesn't want to pay attention. After glancing at him, he looked at Yin Yin in the crowd and smiled generously.
"Yin Yin, sorry, Li Shu is just like this. Don't mind his bluntness."
Being recognized as the school flower of Six Middle School, Yin Yin's beauty is evident. The only slight regret is her flat figure.
Facing Su Ping's smile, Yin Yin also smiled slightly.
"It's fine. Besides, he's not wrong."
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yin's face turned slightly red, and the surrounding classmates erupted in a commotion.
Li Shu even howled a few times.
Teenagers are often impulsive.
However, Su Ping knew that Yin Yin's true thoughts might be different.
After being classmates for several years, Su Ping understood Yin Yin well. She was mature and knew what she wanted, unlike other girls.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the recognized school flower of Six Middle School.
She was similar to Zhou Shuchen, unwilling to be confined to the mortal world, but with deeper thoughts. She wouldn't lose herself in pride like Zhou Shuchen.
However, Su Ping didn't mind, repeating his earlier words, "After graduation, we'll be in different worlds." Although he genuinely admired the school flower.
Su Ping didn't care, but someone else clearly did.
Who wouldn't admire Yin Yin's beauty? The title of school flower was more of a stimulus for male students.
Before, Zhou Shuchen hadn't thought about it, but now, he was clearly different.
Hearing the commotion around him, Zhou Shuchen clenched his fists.
Originally, he thought he should be the center of attention this time, but this guy had stolen the spotlight, just like in school.
However, now, he finally had a chance to fight back.
So, Zhou Shuchen leaped forward and entered the center of the open-air training ground, shouting, "We came here to train our companion beasts, not to flirt! Let's not waste Director Zhang and Jin Ge's time!"
As expected, everyone turned to look at him.
Facing everyone's gaze, the guy looked at Su Ping and said, "Su Ping, shall we have a match?"
