Chapter 173: Chapter 54: Combination Kill
Translator: 549690339
“Chu Mu, be exceptionally careful in the first match. If you can’t handle it, don’t insist.” Chu Tianheng seriously advised Chu Mu.
“Yeah, I’ll be careful.” Chu Mu just nodded his head without elaborating.
The roaring cheers echoed in his ears. From the seating area of the battlefield, Chu Mu looked around at the crowded spectators outside the battlefield, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the excitement.
He remembered attending the recommendation match five years ago. Back then, Chu Mu, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, watched others control their soul pets on this vast battlefield, being watched by tens of thousands of people, fighting heartily with their opponents…all sorts of powerful soul pets with different attributes and abilities, flamboyant soul pet skills, the nerve-wracking moments before the outcome, and the astonishment after a winner was determined. This thrilling experience was something Chu Mu, who was unable to summon a soul pet, always yearned for.
Chu Mu had long yearned to fight. He longed to stand on this battlefield, using the various knowledge of soul pets he had learned on his own trained soul pets, defeating his opponents to the astonishment and cheers of all, receiving respect and reverence…
He once thought he would never become a soul pet master and would never be able to fight as he had imagined. But five years later, he finally set foot here. Despite the twists and turns, despite the hardship, it was worth it to make his entire family proud and to instill fear in the wicked enemies!
“The first match, Chu Mu versus Zhou Lijun!” The referee called out loudly, using his soul sense to announce the participants for the first match.
Of course, the hottest topic recently was about the recommendation match. The most discussed candidate was not the strongest one, Chu Xing, but Chu Mu, who completely surprised everyone.
Everyone knew that Chu Mu had lost one of his souls. Even if he reached the soul master level, he could only summon two soul pets, which put him at an obvious disadvantage.
Many people questioned Chu Mu’s choice to continue on the path of a soul pet master. What was even more unexpected was that this guy, who had lost one soul and two soul pet spaces, would appear in this extremely important recommendation competition.
Those who had watched Chu Mu’s previous matches felt that this former laughingstock of Gangluo City might have transformed in the past four years. Those who were clueless still held a scornful attitude, thinking that Chu family really did not have any other candidates that they had to let this guy, who could only summon two soul pets, to participate in the competition!
“Lijun, just do it moderately. If this kid causes any more trouble, Chu Tiancheng will be back. Then we’ll have a lot of trouble again. That guy is just an unpredictable lunatic.” The young master of Zhou, Zhou Shangke, spoke.
“What’s the big deal, isn’t Chu Tiancheng now useless like him?” Zhou Lijun replied indifferently.
“I heard his ban has been lifted. That guy’s strength is unpredictable. We’d better be careful. Let the Yang family take care of this completely conflicting matter,” Zhou Shangke said.
Still remembering the words Chu Mu told her yesterday, Zhou Lijun wanted to give Chu Mu a lesson. After hearing what Zhou Shangke said, she had to nod her head reluctantly.
Slowly stepping onto the arena, passing the arc-shaped column, Chu Mu stood in the center of the arena, watching Zhou Lijun, who was slowly walking onto the arena, with an indifferent look.
When Zhou Lijun doesn’t speak, many people think she’s a top-notch beauty. However, the moment she speaks, she flaunts her arrogant, domineering, and nauseating characters, making people feel disgusted at every sight!
Perhaps influenced by his mother, Chu Mu easily overlooked a woman’s stunning appearance and focused more on her inner character and demeanor.
“Yesterday, you were arrogant and said you’d kill all my summoned soul pets. I didn’t expect that the first match today gave you such a great opportunity. Come on, let’s see how you, this poor thing, kill my soul pets!” Zhou Lijun had a provocative appearance.
Once Chu Mu was in a state of combat, he didn’t like to waste words. He just began to chant the spell slowly, summoning his soul pet.
This time, Chu Mu didn’t summon MO Ye as usual. Instead, he first summoned a demon tree soldier who had reached the sixth-ranked, third stage.
After being strengthened by the demon tree heart and soul crystal, the demon tree soldier had an average strength that should be above the ice-feathered spirit now!
“A demon tree soldier of the sixth-ranked, third stage? I thought they would hide a powerful soul pet. To show off with such a thing…” As Zhou Lijun spoke, she also began to chant the spell and directly summoned a Flame Tail of the seventh-ranked, seventh stage!
Flame Tail is a high-level servant. If it goes through various attribute enhancements and reaches the seventh-ranked, seventh stage, its combat power will be no less than some warrior-level soul pets.
In most battles, soul pet masters first summon a single soul pet to duel, then summon the second one according to the situation, followed by the third one.
However, Chu Mu didn’t do that this time. He chanted the spell again and directly summoned the ice-feathered spirit of the sixth-ranked, second stage.
“Sning——–“
The ice-feathered spirit hadn’t fought for a while. After being summoned by Chu Mu, it immediately showed a little excitement and told the demon tree soldier in the elf language not to compete with it for the opponent.
“He summoned two soul pets so quickly. It seems that he wants to wage a war of attrition, exhausting Zhou Lijun’s soul pet’s combat power and Zhou Lijun’s soul power, and then let the next member to handle Zhou Lijun.”
“Yes, yes, but it doesn’t seem to make much difference with only two warrior-level soul pets at the sixth-bound level. It’s more like a gratuitous loss of a team member…”
Many discerning people immediately saw the Chu family’s tactics and began to discuss loudly.
Zhou Lijun wasn’t overly confident. She resolutely summoned her second soul pet.
Interestingly, the second soul pet summoned by Zhou Lijun was also an ice-feathered spirit. It was at the sixth-ranked, stage 6, which was four stages higher than Chu Mu’s.
“Battle, begin!”
The contestants indicated the initial summoning was complete, and the referee immediately announced the start, igniting the flame on the pillar in the middle of the square!
“Whooooooosh-
The flames suddenly swelled up, showering down red firelight and instantly illuminating the surroundings, intensifying the atmosphere of the battle!
“Flames Tail, Flame Serpent!”
Zhou Lijun immediately used her Soul Sense to command the dual fire attribute Flames Tail to launch an attack on Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior!!
Wood Type is vulnerable to Fire Skills, but Chu Mu felt there was no need to let the Ice-Feathered Spirit cast Ice Armor on the Demon Tree Warrior, he simply let the two soul pets stand there, allowing the two sharp flame serpents to strike!
Ice Wall!!!
Almost without chanting a spell, the Ice-Feathered Spirit instantly completed the ice wall, two thick ice crystals appeared instantly on the square battlefield, reaching nearly the top of the twenty-meter high pillar!!
“Did any of you see the Ice-Feathered Spirit chanting a spell?” The Ice Wall appeared instantaneously, which surprised Chu Tianheng. He immediately asked the other members.
The others shook their heads immediately, indicating that they also hadn’t seen the Ice-Feathered Spirit chant a spell, making it clear that Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit had managed to release the Ice Attribute skill instantaneously!
“Piercing Branch Chains!”
At Chu Mu’s command, the Demon Tree Warrior’s two powerful, powerful arms suddenly stretched out. Two vines that looked like chains twisted and rapidly extended, straight as an arrow!
Chu Mu didn’t even have to give the command, the Ice-Feathered Spirit let out a cry, and the ice wall instantly shattered. The branches and chains of the Demon Tree Warrior, which were as straight as chains, pierced through the shattered ice wall and aimed directly at that seventh-rank, seventh-stage Flames Tail!
The Ice Wall had a certain effect on blocking sight. The moment the Ice Wall shattered, the Piercing Branch Chain suddenly appeared, forcing the seventh rank seventh stage Flames Tail to abandon the release of the fire skill and jump to the side in a panic!
“Bang!!! Bang!!!!!!!”
The two Piercing Branch Chains viciously penetrated two pillars, directly piercing the pillars!!
“Demon Wood Growth!!”
The skills of the Demon Tree Warrior were not that simple!
When the two straight tree branch chains, one on the left and one on the right, clamped the Flames Tail, suddenly numerous small branches grew from the Piercing Branch Chains. These small branches twisted like countless small snakes, rapidly growing!!!
Within a second, the green branches wove into a complex network of Demon Wood. These branches tightened around the body of the Flames Tail as if binding it tightly!!
Nobody expected that Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior had more skills in store, and neither did Zhou Lijun. She didn’t take measures in time and could only watch as the Flames Tail was tightly wrapped by the chain-like branches!
“Ice Thorn! !! ”
Chu Mu instantly issued the command!
The Ice-Feathered Spirit didn’t need chant time to release the Ice Thorn, it called out and directly tore up the ground of the plaza, and a sharp thorn emerged from the place full of Demon Wood Chains!!!
The Ice Thorn burst out from the ground and pierced directly through that dense green branches!
In the blink of an eye, the Ice Thorn stood tall at the height of the pillars, striking an awe-inspiring presence in the arena!!! !!!!! !
A single Ice Thorn reached a height of twenty meters, and it was released almost instantly!!
At this moment, everyone was stunned, including Zhou Lijun, who controlled the Flames Tail of rank seven and stage seven!
Frost slowly condensed on the green Demon Wood branches, Zhou Lijun’s Ice-Feathered Spirit was too late to cast defensive Ice Armor. It only chilled the fresh blood that was dripping from the green branches, dyeing the otherwise vibrant leaves a bloody red!
People couldn’t see the Flames Tail, they could only see the dense green branches that wrapped around it. But when Zhou Lijun’s Ice-Feathered Spirit released the defensive Ice Armor, bright red liquid had already slowly flowed out from the thick green branches. The vivid color in the middle of the field was remarkably striking!
Instantaneous kill combo!
The battle had not ended yet, but the arena was suddenly filled with a sense of calm!
The small branches quickly retreated back into the Demon Tree Warrior’s long arms. As the wrapping effect ceased, what was revealed to everyone was a brutal scene!
A seventh-rank, seventh-stage Flames Tail, having been pierced through the stomach from underneath, impaled on the end of a threatening Ice Thorn. The fresh blood staining the pure white ice spike, a gruesomely bloody sight! (Life has been very irregular, and it seems the updates will be too— sigh
