Chapter 264 - Purple Fungus Planet, Goodbye Gao An
After leaving the Blood Beach"s gathering place, Su Bai went to his master"s villa.
He wanted to meet his master and the others quickly, settle the matter, and then go back to East Capital.
He needed to handle things at the gymnasium and was reminded every day by Ouyang Du and Han Wei.
Furthermore, he was reluctant to part with Chen Ruoxue. Having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, he was fascinated with the feeling!
He sat on Planet Eye and hurried toward Anlan Villa.
It took about half an hour before he saw the villa.
As always, there were dozens of big mountains and large villas around. Everything was very peaceful.
He knew that this was actually a part of the Algae monster"s body. With its terrifying strength, even if s.p.a.ce cracks and monsters emerged, they would only become its ration.
The Algae recognized him and had already informed someone to greet him even before his arrival.
This person flew on a big flying sword to greet him. The one who welcomed him was naturally his sloppy senior brother, Liu Xinghe.
His sword-shaped pet was so unique that it could be recognized at a glance.
"h.e.l.lo, ninth brother. You don"t actually need to come out to meet me; just go in." Su Bai smiled.
"Hahaha! I"m afraid you won"t know the way. Besides, I have nothing to do in the laboratory at the moment," said Liu Xinghe with a smile.
"Your pet is a Planet"s Core, right? It looks so special. Can it become a flying sword?" he looked at Planet Eye under his feet and asked.
Su Bai: "…Yes, but why are you so obsessed with flying swords?"
"Hehehe! Don"t you think that it"s super cool? Hurry up and change it into a flying sword for me. If it turns out to be cool, I also want to get the core of a planet." Liu Xinghe chuckled.
Helpless in the face of his senior"s teasing, Su Bai immediately ordered Planet Eye to change into a giant sword form.
The next moment, he saw Planet Eye turning into a liquid state before quickly becoming a golden giant sword with a silver blade, looking domineering and mighty.
"Wow, so awesome-looking! I"ll get one in a few days" time; it"s really so cool as expected!" Liu Xinghe"s eyes widened and then he exclaimed in amazement.
"Ninth brother, you"ll have to find a good one. Mine is still rather special." Su Bai laughed and landed on the ground.
"Haha! I can see that. Master and your brother are in an alternate world. Let"s take the teleportation array directly," said the other with a smile.
This ninth brother of his, naturally, did not understand how special Su Bai"s Planet Eye was.
He nodded. "Okay, what"s the situation here?"
"It"s not good. We"re steadily losing ground, and it"s becoming more and more difficult to support. If not for your younger brother, we might only manage to guard the Purple Fungus Planet," Liu Xinghe said as they proceeded forward.
"Oh? My brother is so strong? He should have just become a Pet Tamer, shouldn"t he?" Su Bai could not help but ask curiously.
"Yes, but his talents in cultivation, potion, et cetera are all incredible. For example, his hunger potion really played a big role this time."
The two people soon reached the laboratory amid their chatter. The bodies of various monsters were sealed in various transparent gla.s.s pillars filled with liquid.
The Algae monster was also like a biological machine that constantly produced various medicines.
After entering the teleportation portal, Su Bai soon came to an alternate world. It was still the familiar planet covered with purple blankets.
However, compared to two years ago, the purple fungus blanket was almost invisible, and it was all green, instead.
The spirit shield in the sky had become higher and larger, and there was now a huge research inst.i.tute not far away.
Looking up, there were still endless nebulae in the sky, and monsters were constantly emerging from all kinds of interstellar dust.
Various huge monsters fought among themselves. From time to time, the captured monsters were transported below and piled up in the monster collection field far away.
"Let"s go to the research inst.i.tute. Master and your brother should be there," Liu Xinghe said with a smile.
Su Bai nodded and followed him.
After entering the research inst.i.tute, he discovered that there were quite a lot of people present. They were at least all talents above the intermediate level of cultivators.
"Master." He walked over to his master and greeted the latter respectfully.
"Where have you been this whole year? I received no news from you." Gao An glanced sideways at him.
"I got trapped in Abyss Star Territory and just came out," he explained.
"Okay, let me test your cultivation knowledge to see if you"ve fallen behind."
There was obviously a hint of joy in Gao An"s eyes, but he did not want to show it.
"Master, I was wrong. Please don"t pick on me." Su Bai quickly laughed and begged for mercy.
Although he had a Pet Tamer interface, if Gao An tested his potion configuration or something along the lines, he would really be unable to answer it.
After all, this year, he had hardly studied these things.
"Hmph! Useless." The older man glanced at him disdainfully.
Su Bai laughed with him and did not talk back.
"I heard that your strength had improved; you became the chief disciple of Yulong Gymnasium?" Gao An cast him a sideways glance again.
"Yes, I did improve, but it"s not enough." He nodded.
"It"s good that you know that." The old man snorted coldly. In fact, he was shocked by Su Bai"s promotion but was unwilling to show it. He wanted to maintain his prestige as his master.
After all, the prestigious disciples of the top families could also reach Su Bai"s current position within a year.
However, apart from the resources he had provided, this disciple of his had relied entirely on himself.
"Master, how is the situation here?" Su Bai asked again, wanting to obtain factual information from the old man.
"We can only say that we"re barely holding it. We"re dealing with these aliens, and the most terrifying thing about them is that they can be integrated with monsters. Advanced aliens can even integrate monsters into their bodies.
"It"s very difficult, but we have the support of your Giant Krakens, the increasingly powerful Algae monster, the potions that your brother have concocted, and the monsters that you have cultivated. We"re still able to barely hold on, but it"s still impossible to defeat the opponents at present." Gao An sighed.
In fact, he felt that these aliens might be planning some conspiracy and might be waiting for an opportunity to strike.
However, these were just his guesses, so he did not say them aloud for the time being.
"What about Blue Planet? Master, do you think that it can hold on?" Su Bai asked about this matter.
"Whether Blue Planet can be guarded or not does not depend on itself but rather in the Void Realm outside."
Gao An glanced at Su Bai and continued speaking. "I think that you already know what kind of place that is. On Blue Planet, those Pet Tamers who have survived these hundred years are almost all in the Void Realm.
"As long as nothing goes wrong, no matter how big the problem is on Blue Planet, it can be solved slowly."
Su Bai nodded. In fact, he also knew about this. Most of the experts in Yulong Gymnasium were also in the Void Realm.
Those truly powerful monsters were resisted by them, and they could be said to be the real protective shield of Blue Planet.
With his current strength, he was not qualified to go there.
