Chapter 135: Chapter 18: Reward of Level 6 Soul Armor
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, the way everyone looked at Chu Mu had changed. Being able to defeat Tian Ji meant that Chu Mu had already possessed the strength of a top young master of the Nightmare Demon Palace. As for the real top young masters of the Nightmare Demon Palace, each one of them held a transcendent position and possessed privileges within the Nightmare Demon Palace itself. Unless it was the elders of the Inner Demon Palace, no one had the qualifications to limit those who were truly ranked as top young masters!
Chu Mu could feel the change in everyone’s gaze. This feeling of being respected by others did indeed have a magical charm that could make people pursue a stronger realm relentlessly.
Chu Mu raised his head and looked at the beautiful and noble woman who had attracted much attention. At this time, no one scolded him for daring to look at the princess directly. Chu Mu could now truly gaze into the eyes of this woman, who had aroused some affection in him.
Princess Jinrou also felt Chu Mu’s gaze. Perhaps the clever her could read something from Chu Mu’s eyes…
“Chu Mu …” Finally, Princess Jinrou spoke, her voice still so gently melodious.
Chu Mu nodded slightly, his expression returning to its usual indifference. When he wasn’t strong enough, Chu Mu wouldn’t easily reveal his inner emotions. Thus, he didn’t want the princess to know that he had feelings of admiration for her.
Chu Mu’s feelings of admiration were not complicated. After all, he was now a mentally mature young man, and it was normal for him to be attracted to some beautiful women, especially when he sensed the unique temperament of this little princess of the Nißhtmare Demon Palace…
However, this admiration wouldn’t affect Chu Mu’s heart. Chu Mu was rational. He would pursue such a woman, but he would never make her his goal. His true goal was to continuously become stronger, strong enough to prevent himself and his clan from being humiliated, to not be stepped on and laughed at by others, and to be able to decide everything for himself without being controlled by Xia Guanghan!
“Chu Mu, I want to know, how did you lose that one spirit?” Princess Jinrou asked.
Princess Jinrou’s question was also something everyone wanted to know. With the loss of one spirit, the strength of this Prison Island King was already terrifying. If he hadn’t lost that one spirit, wouldn’t he be able to sweep through all the young experts of the Nightmare Demon Palace?
“During my time as a Soul Disciple, I signed a soul contract with a high-grade soul pet, which eventually escaped.” Chu Mu spoke casually.
The loss of a soul pet was a wound that had been deeply engraved on Chu Mu’s heart when he was much younger. However, that was a long time ago, and Chu Mu’s heart was already full of scars. He simply didn’t care about it anymore.
“Having lost one spirit and even raising a White Nightmare Demon, yet surviving on Prison Island for three years, I admire such perseverance.” Princess Jinrou spoke with grace and elegance.
Nothing was more honorable than being praised by the princess, especially when it was praise from Princess Jinrou. The crowd immediately cast envious gazes, especially the young men who had feelings of admiration for the princess.
“This is a level six soul armor I recently acquired from World City. I will reward it to you, and I hope that in the future, you can become a true powerhouse in the Nightmare Demon Palace like Mr. Xia.” As Princess Jinrou spoke, she waved her hand, signaling the woman in white by her side to present the soul armor to Chu Mu.
“Level 6 Soul Armor!!!”
With this sentence, the crowd exploded again. Everyone present knew the value of the level six ice-fire soul armor, and they couldn’t believe that such a treasure was directly bestowed upon the Prison Island King!
Countless envious gazes were cast once more, with many of them even transforming into jealousy. After all, a level six soul armor was just too precious. No one had expected that Princess Jinrou would actually bestow a level six soul armor on Chu Mu!
Level six soul armor!
An ice attribute and fire attribute fusion soul armor, as long as a bit of defensive skill is applied, could elevate its defense to near level eight, surpassing many defensive soul pets. There’s no need to fear even when facing powerful creatures head-on!
Chu Mu remembered the market price for a four-attribute level six soul armor was close to five million gold coins. Chu Mu himself never expected Princess Jinrou to be so generous, bestowing such a precious treasure upon him!
“Chu Mu, quickly thank the princess. From now on, you will be a direct subordinate of the princess. Only she and I, the one who recommended you, can command you. You can ignore the orders of others,” Xia Guanghan slowly said.
Chu Mu slightly knelt on one knee and performed an imperfect etiquette.
As he bowed, Chu Mu could see the noble hem of Princess Jinrou’s dress…
As Chu Mu stood up, Princess Jinrou had already left under the escort of four women. Looking at her back, Chu Mu felt even more determined in his heart…
The eighteen-year-old Prison Island King, who brazenly accepted the challenge of five competitors and has now defeated the widely-known Tian Ji. As Lu Shanli had said, after this battle, Chu Mu’s name is bound to be known to everyone in the Nightmare Demon Palace! !
Fame, though it doesn’t have any tangible benefits, is the most direct way to measure a Soul Pet Master’s strength. Defeating Nightmare Demon Palace’s top
expert Tian Ji means Chu Mu will become a rapidly rising star in the Nightmare Demon Palace! !
Initially, when Xia Guanghan became the Prison Island King, he turned into the most potential new star in the Nightmare Demon Palace, causing a sensation at that time. Now, he has reached a high position within the Nightmare Demon Palace, with his status continuously rising, obtaining supreme authority.
Now, Chu Mu not only broke the record of Xia Guanghan when he first won the title of Prison Island King at eighteen but also defeated the top youth master, Tian Ji, shortly after entering the Nightmare Demon Palace. This honor and sensation are unprecedented in the Nightmare Demon Palace!
Most importantly, everyone present knew that Chu Mu had only summoned two soul pets to completely defeat Tian Ji with an absolute advantage. Many people even boldly speculated that Chu Mu had not used all his strength. With that, the fame of Chu Mu as the Prison Island King skyrocketed from an everyday high-level expert to the top, truly challenging the strongest youth masters in the Nightmare Demon Palace!
Chu Mu’s newfound status didn’t change his position within the Nightmare Demon Palace itself, but this battle allowed Chu Mu to have privileges equal to the children of some high-level members in the Demon Palace. Most directly,
Chu Mu no longer had to bow when meeting characters like Princess Jinrou and Lu Shanli, just giving a slight nod and greeting would suffice.
Perhaps it is just a change in etiquette, but it also implies that Chu Mu is not too far from Princess Jinrou, especially since Chu Mu now holds the position of personal attendant to the princess. There will likely be many opportunities for contact in the future!
No matter how much honor the Nightmare Demon Palace grants him, no matter how much Chu Mu’s reputation grows in the Nightmare Demon Palace, how much respect he receives, admiration, and commentary, it can’t hinder Chu Mu’s impulse to return to his clan.
After this sensational event, Chu Mu, the Prison Island King, immediately became low-key. After resting for a day and getting permission from Princess Jinrou, he rode his Wind Demon Steed, carrying an irresistible excitement as he rushed determinedly towards Gangluo City in the Luo region!
Chu Mu’s departure didn’t impact his reputation, making this Prison Island King, who has lost one spirit, even more mysterious!! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian () to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation..)
