Chapter 171: Chapter 52: Just a Bit of a Tough Fate
Translator: 549690339
The day after the preliminary round was the rematch, and during the rematch, the Chu Family was unlucky to have encountered the team from Soul Pet Palace!
The power of Soul Pet Palace is immense and could be considered on par with Nightmare Demon Palace, an authoritative organization that spans across the world. The main palace of Soul Pet Palace is not in Luo region, but in a more distant region. In Gangluo City, the force of the Soul Pet Palace isn’t very strong, mainly focusing on various soul pet transactions.
Soul Pet Palace usually appears in most cities in a neutral manner and seldom favors any forces in a specific city. At the same time, in some cities where Soul Pet Palace is stationed, they always maintain a second-line status, never having any conflicts with the major powers of the area.
The strength of Gangluo City’s Soul Pet Palace team cannot be considered very formidable, but there are still quite a few experts in the Soul Pet Palace. The young experts they sent are by no means ordinary.
The order of the battles was still Chu Lang leading, followed by Chu Mu. To save energy for even stronger opponents in the future, Chu Xing didn’t let Chu Lang continue fighting after winning a match. Instead, he had Chu Lang replaced immediately after a victory.
After Chu Lang won the first match, Chu Mu was immediately brought in to face the second opponent from the Soul Pet Palace. Chu Mu’s opponent wasn’t strong, but they were a soul master capable of summoning three soul pets. Zhan Ye naturally could not win on its own, so Chu Mu also summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast to join the battle.
After taking the Sky Demon Tears, the Night Thunder Dream Beast was in a growth outbreak period. In this short period, it had already reached the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage, and Chu Mu estimated that in a few days, it should be able to undergo metamorphosis to the Sixth Rank.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast had already undergone training with a Level 6 Soul Crystal. To train it further, they would naturally have to purchase the expensive Level 7 Soul Crystal.
The price of a Level 7 Soul Crystal is quite terrifying. A single-attribute crystal costs about 1.5 million gold coins, while a dual-attribute crystal would probably cost 2 million gold coins. Even for the major families in Gangluo City, such prices are not easily affordable.
When the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage Night Thunder Dream Beast entered the arena, there was immediately an uproar among the audience. Dream Beasts are considered aristocratic soul pets among the Commanders. The Thunder and Darkness dual attributes are even higher in value, and can rival many high-quality, high-ranking Commander-level SoulPets, even with their average aptitudes.
The combat power of the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage Night Thunder Dream Beast was naturally much stronger than that of the Fifth Rank First Stage MO Ye. The Night Thunder Dream Beast was up against two opponents, and its elegant battle methods made it still more than capable of handling both six-level War General-level Soul Pets, defeating them quickly and causing quite a stir among the audience.
Compared to the dazzling performance of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, Zhan Ye’s battle against the Fifth Rank Third Stage Commander-level Blood-sucking Baijing Demon seemed much more difficult. After all, Zhan Ye’s combat power was slightly lower than the average Commander-level Soul Pets.
Chu Mu didn’t command the Night Thunder Dream Beast to intervene in Zhan Ye’s fight. Zhan Ye remained persistent in the early stages of the battle, enduring continuous whip-like strikes from the grass stalks. The Blood-sucking Baijing Demon had hundreds of grass stalks, each of which served as a weapon like tentacles. As Grass-type soul pets already have an advantage against Beast-types, it was naturally difficult for Zhan Ye to win.
“Chu Mu, change your soul pet. MO Ye’s battle sense is not bad, but there’s no need to make it battered and bruised. Save some combat power for the fights after,” Chu Xing reminded Chu Mu through their soul sense.
Zhan Ye’s temper was well-known by Chu Mu, and it would absolutely not give up the fight so easily. Chu Mu allowed it to continue fighting.
“You kid, don’t think you are so great just because you have a Night Thunder Dream Beast. Listen to your brother’s arrangements!” Chu Ying said to Chu Mu somewhat annoyed.
Chu Mu still ignored Chu Ying’s words, standing indifferently on the battlefield, motionless like a black statue, cold and mercilessly commanding MO Ye’s battle.
Finally, after continuous attacks, the Blood-sucking Baijing Demon revealed a weak spot. Zhan Ye, being very good at taking advantage of situations, quickly seized the opportunity to approach the demon’s body.
Once a grass-type soul pet of the Plant World is approached, it is not far from death. Sensing that Chu Mu’s Zhan Ye might cause significant damage to their soul pet, the opponent decisively withdrew their soul pet and declared defeat.
“Your MO Ye has great persistence,” the opponent from Soul Pet Palace looked at Chu Mu, speaking with a faint tone.
Chu Mu merely nodded without saying anything. After the referee declared the victory, he slowly walked off the arena.
“Hmph, you consumed all of MO Ye’s combat power, which will put us at a disadvantage in the match against Zhou Clan. You don’t seem to understand tactics at all.” Chu Ying’s complaint rang out again.
Chu Mu raised his eyelids, sat down silently next to Chu Xing, and said, “Its recovery ability is very strong. It won’t affect the day after tomorrow’s battle.”
Chu Xing could also see that Chu Mu was not such an impulsive person and nodded his head.
After the rematch, the final match became even more grand. The final match was held in the unparalleled luxurious Gangluo City Battlefield.
Different from the rematch, the final match can be truly referred to as a recommendation!
There were two matches in the finals, without any surprises, the first one was against the Su Family from Gray Rock City. The Su Family was a large clan, but the Gray Rock City’s Su Family was just a branch and could only be considered in the upper class of Gangluo City. However, compared to the Four Great Families, their foundation seemed somewhat lacking.
Since they had to face the Zhou Family in the second match, and the Su Family the next day, Chu Mu still needed to conserve his strength when dealing with the Su Family!
It was still the format of the rematch, with Chu Lang leading the charge. Chu
Lang’s opponent was a Soul Master who controlled a sixth-rank
Commander-level soul pet, which was Chu Lang’s strongest soul pet, the Bright Horned Beast. His strength was clearly inferior to that of the Su Family expert.
However, controlling a sixth-rank Commander-level soul pet should be the strongest in the Su Family. As long as they defeat this guy, the other four would be nothing to worry about.
Chu Lang’s three soul pets had an average strength not much different from the Su Family team leader. However, the opponent had a sixth-rank Commander-level soul pet, and in the end, Chu Lang still lost while conserving some strength.
“Chu He, it’s your turn.” Chu Xing spoke, asking Chu He to battle the Su Family team leader.
Chu He, who was silent and reserved, nodded and slowly walked towards the battlefield. He saw that his opponent had already summoned three soul pets, but he only summoned two.
Chu He’s strength was second only to Chu Xing, and Chu Mu had not seen him summon his strongest soul pet yet.
Chu He’s two soul pets were a fifth rank stage 7 MO Ye and a sixth rank stage 9 Silver Armor Sky Insect.
The Silver Armor Sky Insect was an intermediate War General Level soul pet, and it was obvious that this sixth rank stage 9 Silver Armor Sky Insect of Chu He’s had undergone some insect species strengthening. So even when facing the Su Family’s sixth-rank Commander, it was still more than enough!
The battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the Su Family team leader immediately admitted defeat. Chu He didn’t step down right away, but continued to use his summoned soul pets to deal with another Su Family opponent before conserving his strength to leave.
Chu Ying’s strength was also not weak, and after the strongest opponent of the Su Family was defeated, she won easily against her opponent within ten minutes.
Then came Chu Xing’s battle, Chu Xing had the highest strength, and Chu Mu hadn’t seen him summon his strongest soul pet yet, which was said to be a sixth-rank MO Ye.
Chu Xing’s second soul pet appeared and easily defeated his opponent, conserving the most strength.
The last match was Chu Mu, whose opponent was a Soul Warrior who could only summon two soul pets, making Chu Mu quite disappointed. It seemed that the Su Family’s strongest was their team leader, and the others were somewhat unsatisfactory, as they couldn’t even put together five Soul Masters among the young generation.
As always, War Ye was sent into battle, followed by the Demon Tree Warrior.
Chu Mu needed to train War Ye’s combat ability. After the Demon Tree Warrior easily defeated its opponent, Chu Mu still didn’t let it intervene in War Ye’s battle.
“It’s strange, wasn’t that fifth-rank stage 1 MO Ye badly injured by the Blood-sucking Baijing Demon two days ago, how come it has regained its full strength today?” Many people who had seen Chu Mu’s previous battle were surprised.
In the past, it was well-known in Gangluo City that Chu Mu couldn’t summon soul pets. Four years later, many people found it quite astonishing when this former laughingstock appeared as a member of the young generation of the Chu family. They secretly sighed that there was no one left in the Chu family, so they let Chu Mu, who had only been able to summon for four years, participate in the battle.
Of course, the most outstanding feature was Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast, which became one of the highlights on the battlefield. However, most people thought that the Chu family had spent a lot of money to buy it to strengthen Chu Mu’s power, and it wasn’t tamed by Chu Mu himself…
Because of Chu Mu’s special past events, he received quite a lot of attention, and in several consecutive battles, people naturally noticed the peculiarities of Chu Mu’s fifth-rank stage 1 ordinary MO Ye!
“Chu Mu’s MO Ye has an incredibly strong recovery ability. Normally, after an injury like the last time, ordinary soul pets would need at least six or seven days to recover. To be able to fully recover its strength in two days, it must be a MO Ye with an outstanding insect species talent.” Chu Xing nodded.
“Brother Chu Mu chose such powerful soul pets for Yishui, so there’s no way his own soul pets could be weak. I’m sure this little MO Ye has other powers too.” Chu Yishui said.
“Hmph, I think it just has a hard life.” Chu Ying snorted coldly, not very optimistic about Chu Mu’s thin MO Ye.
Chu Mu’s War Ye’s only, and not ordinary, feature was indeed its tenacious vitality. Soon enough, War Ye would be able to show its abnormal abilities!
