Chapter 316 - Departure, Vatican
Chapter 316 - Departure, Vatican
Su Bai carefully accepted this transparent Void Oath, which exuded the breath of time from He Yu. As it breathed, its body would glow and disappear. The transparent pattern that would be exposed each time was really beautiful.
"Help me thank the dean and the grandmaster."
He summoned his contract book to keep the Void Oath.
The Void Oath was very gentle. The ones that liked them most were those with many secrets. The more secrets a Pet Tamer had, the easier it was to contract them.
Su Bai had many secrets, so when he had just condensed the contract light orb, this space-time attribute Void Oath took the initiative to eat the light orb and concluded a contract with him.
Looking at the Void Oath that had appeared on the page of his contract, Su Bai smiled and thought for a while. His new pet then rested in his hand. "I'll just call you Time and Space; it fits you. What do you think?"
Haha! I like it very much.
Su Bai laughed not long after, having received its reply telepathically.
"Okay, okay. You can enter the contract book to rest first. I'll see you again when I finish handling stuff." He smiled.
As soon as his mind moved, a stream of light appeared and it entered the contract book.
This Void Oath was a mid-level monarch; it could only grow by absorbing the power of time and space. In fact, it was more difficult for the Pet Tamer to help it.
Also, even with an increase in its level, the effects would not increase much.
"Thank you. Now, call everyone to the conference room for a meeting," Su Bai said after keeping the Void Oath.
"Haha! You're welcome," He Yu laughed and said. "Everyone should all be in another meeting room; shall we go there?"
"Let's go." He nodded and followed her.
In another large conference room were seventy or eighty youngsters.
These were the new members of the God Dragon Division. If he became the curator, they would be the new high-ranking members of Yulong Gymnasium in the future, representing their gym's future.
They were the best in all aspects and were all at least title-level Pet Tamers, with several of them owning sovereign monsters.
"Hello, Senior Brother Su!"
Seeing him enter, these people all stood up and greeted him in unison.
This scene resembled lackeys greeting their gang boss, especially at this moment that everyone was wearing the uniform of the gymnasium. They were all dressed in black, with a vigorous dragon tattooed on each of their chests.
Coupled with a strong body and a fierce aura, they really looked like gang lackeys.
"Hello, everyone; please sit down." Su Bai smiled lightly and waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down.
Hearing his words, everyone sat down again. He looked at this group, recalling all their pet information.
This photographic memory was trivial to high-level Pet Tamers.
"I was so busy improving my strength that I didn't have time to manage the affairs of the gym and left everything for everyone here to handle. You've all worked hard. Please bear with me for my incompetence," Su Bai looked at everyone and said apologetically.
"Senior brother is too polite. It's our duty. Your priority is to improve your strength as soon as possible. What's more, you dared to leave the gym's matters to us because you trusted us."
As soon as his voice fell, Ouyang Du, who was next to him, immediately spoke flatteringly.
"Yes, don't blame yourself; we're all willing to work in your place."
"Yes, we're very willing to do such simple tasks."
Several others also nodded in agreement.
"Hahaha! Thank you all for your understanding."
Su Bai laughed and continued speaking. "Everyone here is probably very concerned about my strength, so I'll let you in on it. My strength has improved a lot these days, so I won't have a problem fighting against high-level sovereign monsters.
"I can tell you clearly that I can become a true heavenly king-level Pet Tamer within one month."
Hearing his words, everyone's face showed a hint of shock; they could not hardly believe it.
They were not skeptical about his ability to kill high-level sovereign monsters. After all, once his Ancestor Blood Dragon was promoted to the sovereign grade, it could definitely kill high-level sovereign monsters.
However, they were doubtful if he could become a heavenly king-level Pet Tamer in just a month's time.
It had not been long since he became a title-level Pet Tamer, right?
Did he have so much mental power that he could promote his contract book to the epic level in such a short time?
However, since he dared to say so in public, he must be sure of it, but this made them more curious.
Had their division's chief disciple had some happy encounters outside?
"That's it about my personal affairs for now. Let's proceed with the gym's business. Please report your work so that I can have a rough idea of the recent situation," Su Bai said once everyone started discussing his revelation.
Some disciples took the initiative to report the work that they were responsible for.
Through their reports, Su Bai gained a vague understanding of the situation.
In the past month, their gym had cleared one hundred thousand space cracks, and the monsters eliminated in each crack exceeded hundreds of millions, with some even reaching billions.
Of course, most of them were considered average monsters.
The Giant Dragon Division had cleared a slightly higher 120,000 space cracks.
This was inevitable, since the God Dragon Division had had insufficient resources for years; their top disciples were incomparable to those of the Giant Dragon Division, so naturally there was no way to compare.
If not for the Essence of Evolution, the situation would have been worse, but there was nothing they could do; they could make up for it slowly day by day.
Other than this, the rest of the conditions were relatively good. For example, the Insect God Gymnasium and the Yin-yang Gymnasium had recently sent people to contact their division, expressing their support for Su Bai.
These two gyms were very special among the top ten gyms. One was the representative of the elites, with thousands of people, while the other was the representative of explosive power, each disciple terrifying and most specializing in group attacks.
The two gymnasiums had kept a neutral stance before, meaning that they did not favor anyone, so no one expected them to send a positive signal suddenly.
After understanding the overall situation, Su Bai stood up and looked at his fellow disciples. "Everyone has worked hard during this period, and we may have to work hard still in the future, but I won't let everyone work hard in vain. In the end, you'll definitely understand that following me is a very good choice.
"No matter what, when the curator competition is over, I'll distribute at least ten precious pets.
"As for what kind of pets, I want to keep that a secret for now. All I can tell you is that they'll be rare and powerful ones. They're absolutely world-class and no worse than any pureblood dragons. They're extremely rare even in the entire void."
His words aroused the curiosity of everyone present. What sorts of pets were those for them to be comparable to pureblood dragons? He could even give them at least ten.
"Hehe! Senior brother, give us a clue at least?" Ouyang Du asked curiously.
"No, you only need to know that I'll never lie, so work hard and perform well. That's it for today's meeting. You're dismissed; you can start your own work." Su Bai shook his head.
His words made everyone even more curious, especially since he did not reveal the kinds of pets he would be giving them. Their chief disciple was simply good at keeping them in suspense!
Still, no one doubted the truth of the matter. This was Su Bai, a powerful man who had single-handedly brought the God Dragon Division out of the original cycle of death, after all. He would never lie about such simple stuff.
In this way, the desire in them to compete with one another was inevitably evoked, for they wanted to obtain the promised rewards.
After the meeting was concluded, the disciples left one after another; only He Yu, Han Wei, and Ouyang Du did not leave immediately.
Su Bai looked at the three and said, "You don't have to fight with others; you'll all have one each."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on their faces widened, and they hurriedly thanked him.
"I'll leave things to you over the next few days. I have to go out and do something. Just call me if you can't handle it," Su Bai waved his hand and said.
He Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry; we will take care of the matters you leave to us."
After assigning some matters, Su Bai left the office and flew out of the gathering place with Purple Jade and Little Tyrant.
"Jade, I saw you preparing a gift yesterday. Was it for Ultimate Invincible?" he asked the elf with a wink.
"Howl." Yes, we're friends, after all. It'd be awkward to see each other without even preparing a gift. The elf nodded.
"Do you need my help?"
"Howl." No, it's already been prepared.
"Alright, then. We'll set off after preparing for a while."
Su Bai nodded and then activated his Thousand Variations summoner skill.
He had not used this appearance-changing skill obtained from the Mewling Fox for a long time.
After using it, he became a Westerner with blond hair and white skin.
Once all this was done, he flew on Planet Eye outside.
"Let's go to the Vatican."
"Yes, master. I connected the Electromagnetic Satellite Signal, and the teleportation will begin soon."
With the mechanical and ethereal sound of Planet Eye, golden psychic energy burst out, and in a flash of light, Su Bai and his pets had disappeared into the mist of the sea.
…
The Vatican was said to be a country, but in fact, it was just a country in a city. It covered only an area of 0.44 square kilometers and was not as big as a park or village in Rabbit Kingdom.
A hundred years ago, when the aura had just recovered on a large scale, the area where the Vatican was located, including all the nearby land, had all sunk into the sea.
From a distance, only a whirlpool shrouded in black mist could be seen.
A golden light descended on a small village more than five hundred kilometers away from the coastline.
This was Su Bai, who had come here with the help of the electromagnetic wave of a small town not far away.
It was not that he wanted to come here, but that electromagnetic signals were too hard to find, and the one closest to the Vatican was located here.
The west was unable to guard against the monster invasion due to a number of reasons, especially since the social order in most places had collapsed recently.
Those who could escape had already fled, and what was left was the long restoration of the city-state systems, the construction of tall concrete walls, and the opening of tough defensive shields.
Therefore, it was actually difficult for Su Bai to find an area closer to his destination.
Just when he landed, energy balls of different attributes suddenly flew down from the sky. They were quite powerful and had emperor strength at least.
"Is there such a powerful monster in this random place?" Su Bai frowned in disbelief.
This was impossible in the Rabbit Kingdom; at most, only a few monarch monsters would occasionally appear in the suburbs.
The places with emperor monsters had been directly sealed and turned into wildernesses that only professional Pet Tamers could enter.
Hence, the country was considerably safer.
Of course, those emperor monsters could not do much harm to him at all.
Planet Eye easily blocked the attacks with its psychic shield and then released its Gravity skill. As soon as the gravity field appeared, it directly sucked down a group of emperor Six-winged Turtledoves, which were about to attack.
"Quack!"
No matter how much they struggled by flapping their wings, it was completely useless, for they were still directly sucked in, allowing Planet Eye to seal their spiritual power.
Planet Eye's skill had been strengthened by Su Bai, and it was not something that these guys could break free from.
He grabbed one and touched it. It was very fat, so he could not help but drool a little. "We'll be having them for lunch and dinner tonight."
"Cuckoo!"
Upon hearing his words, this Six-winged Turtledove shrank its head in fright and hurriedly rubbed his hand to beg for mercy.
They were very intelligent and could understand his meaning.
"It's too late; I'm eating you today." He shook his head.
At this moment, the Six-winged Turtledove fell to the ground with a snap, feeling depressed.
"Howl." Ah Bai, shall we visit the small town not far away? asked the elf at this time.
"You can go over and take a look to understand the situation. It looks like this should be the last stop before we're out of the sea." Su Bai nodded in response.
He was still completely unclear about the situation here, so it was necessary to go in and check the situation.
If it had not been for this reason, he would not have gone to a human town at all. With Planet Eye, it was equivalent to carrying the achievements of the entire mankind. Therefore, it was too easy for him to survive.
He could even survive in better conditions than most people.
In fact, Su Bai had worked so hard to copy the means of production because he was worried that Blue Planet would not be able to hold on one of these days. At that time, he could at least guarantee that he and some important people would survive well.
After ten minutes, he entered the town.
This small town covered an area of about three or four square kilometers. It was surrounded by high concrete walls, and there were three layers of shields inside the walls. Flying pets patrolled and guarded the place, and a giant Electromagnetic Satellite Monster floated in the sky.
"Roar~" There are many people here, and they're all blonde. Ah Bai, the girls here are even more voluptuous~
Little Tyrant stared at the blonde beauty walking by the side of the road, and its eyes lit up. The dino's claw gripped his shirt as it gestured to him.
The dino was very interested in the exotic style here.
Su Bai: "…" This guy is hopeless!
"Come on; let's go in," he looked at the entrance of the small town in front of him and said. From the words of these people who were entering and exiting, he already understood that this was a place to stay in the Vatican maelstrom.
