“Look, look, I knew it, I knew it! Our fourth brother is stronger than anyone else! A bunch of arrogant guys, they didn’t believe me at all, but now they’ve seen it, that Ice-Feathered Spirit…and that Demon Tree Warrior!” Chu Ning could not contain her excitement when she saw Chu Mu display his true strength.
Chu Ning had been feeling frustrated for Chu Mu for some time now, always feeling that the family members did not take Chu Mu seriously. Now, for all those who had doubted him, such as the Zhou family’s first young master and the Yang family’s first young master, they could all step aside!
Chu Ying, Chu Xing, Chu He, and Chu Lang’s jaws were still hanging open. They had seen low-key people before, but never someone as low-key as Chu Mu. In them, they saw what it meant to be silent but deadly!
“Good!! Well done!” Chu Xing finally recovered from his astonishment, his heart filled with joy, and couldn’t help but shout out!
Chu Mu’s victory in this fight undoubtedly shifted the balance in favor of the Chu Family!
The usually quiet Chu He still stood there, his expression and eyes revealing the astonishment and happiness in his heart.
As for Chu Ying, who often questioned Chu Mu’s strength, her face showed the most emotion, even finding it hard to believe that the tall and handsome young man on the battlefield was Chu Mu!
“I didn’t expect such a trump card. Old man Chu Ming is really willing to invest in this waste.” Yang Kuo of the Yang family had a slightly gloomy expression, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
“Yes, it’s quite a surprise. It seems that the Zhou Family is in bad shape this time.” Yang Luobin looked at the strangely strengthened Chu Mu, his eyes as bizarre as his smile that caused strange twitching at the corners of his mouth…
After he finished speaking, Yang Luobin purposely glanced at the mysterious young man in a long blue coat beside him.
The man’s coat collar was up, covering his chin, and one could see his sharp nose and deep eyes. These eyes, hidden in the shadows of his long hair, held a playful undertone.
“What do you think?” Yang Luobin showed a trace of humility and asked the mysterious youth.
The youth smiled and didn’t say a word, but his face revealed an expression of complete understanding.
“Round two, Chu Mu against Zhou Shengcheng!”
One by one, the members of the Zhou family frowned, not knowing who to send to face the fierce Chu Mu. In the end, they finally decided to send Zhou Shengcheng, whose strength was only second to Zhou Pan!
“Summon your Soul Pets.” The referee glanced at Zhou Shengcheng and spoke indifferently.
Zhou Shengcheng realized that Chu Mu’s two Soul Pets were very difficult to deal with, so he decided to summon all three of his Soul Pets!
Three different-colored summoning patterns appeared on the ground in succession!
A black shadow slowly engulfed a certain area of the square battlefield, which should have been bathed in sunlight during the afternoon, but made people feel like there was a strange void in that area.
“Shadow!”
Shadow: Demon Beast World – Demon Spirit Type – Dark Clan – Shadow
Sub-clan – High-Level Servant Level
Shadows are relatively rare as Soul Pets. Although listed as high-level
servants, they possess the power of Warrior Level. The Shadow summoned by Zhou Shengcheng was a Level 6 Ninth Stage Shadow, about to break through to the Seventh Stage.
“You can tell this Shadow has been strengthened by a Dark Attribute Soul Crystal; its aura is terrifying!”
“Shadows have incredible restricting abilities; they’re not easy to deal with!”
“That Level 6 Stage 8 Sky Rock Spirit is also strong; it’s obviously a counter to Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit.”
Zhou Shengcheng’s third soul pet was an unexpected Flower type soul pet — the Ghost Sickle Flower Demon.
Ghost Sickle Flower Demon: Plant type – Flower type – Flower Demon Clan Ghost Sickle Flower Demon Sub-clan – Low-level Commander Level.
Zhou Shengcheng’s Ghost Sickle Flower Demon was Level 6 Stage 1. By the looks of it, it hadn’t been nurtured using a Level 5 or higher Flower Attribute Soul Crystal, so its combat prowess wasn’t considered very strong.
“With two bizarre pets, does he want to defeat Chu Mu like this?” Everyone could see that the opponent’s lineup was specifically designed to counter Chu Mu’s two soul pets, putting Chu Mu at a disadvantage in terms of Attributes.
“Do you want to change your soul pet?” The referee asked Chu Mu, giving him ample time to change his soul pet.
Chu Mu shook his head, with no intention of changing his soul pet.
Changing soul pets would naturally consume soul power, and Chu Mu’s soul power was very limited. There was no need to change soul pets for such a battle.
“Fight, start!”
With the referee’s command, the flames on the extremely solid central pillar immediately burned fiercely!
While on Green Nightmare Demon Island, Chu Mu had seen the abilities of Shadows and knew that this purely Dark Attribute soul pet could appear unnoticed nearby, so he immediately pulled back the battle line.
Sure enough, the Level 6 Stage 9 Shadow turned into a shadow at the start of the fight and suddenly disappeared under the slightly broken pillars. Then, several bizarre black shadows appeared under the pillars, constantly shaking.
“Ning, Ice Wall.”
The Ice-Feathered Spirit let out a long melodious sound and released ice walls one after another without any target, creating numerous icy walls in the battlefield of the square!
There was no apparent pattern to the ice walls, but Chu Mu was actually making good use of the principle of sunlight reflection, turning the area into a shadowless zone!
Indeed, as the sunlight continued to reflect off the ice walls, there was no longer any shadow surrounding Chu Mu and Chu Mu’s soul pets, while the elusive Shadow could only hover near the ice walls, unable to get close to Chu Mu and his soul pets.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone use an ice wall like this…”
“Indeed, it taught me a lesson.”
The ingenious use of the ice wall by Chu Mu immediately triggered a round of praise from the crowd.
Seated in the stands, Qin Meng’er’s lips curled slightly as she thought of the principle of borrowing light Chu Mu had told her before.
Qin Meng’er remembered that Chu Mu used to be full of energy when talking about using various skills and tactics, as if he could really use them on the battlefield. However, in reality, he could only imagine, never actually realizing them.
Now seeing Chu Mu fully displaying his battle strategies under the watchful eyes of the Demon Beast World, everyone truly felt happy for him…
Seeing this situation, Zhou Shengcheng immediately ordered his Heavenly Rock Spirit to start crushing the ice wall created by Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit!
“Bang! Bang!”
One by one, the ice walls were shattered under the stronger hardness of the rock-based skills, scattering chaotically across the battlefield.
Seeing the ice walls being shattered, Chu Mu began to retreat, continuing to have his Ice-Feathered Spirit constantly cast ice walls. Meanwhile, the Demon Tree Warrior and the Ghost Sickle Flower Demon engaged in the purest long-range battle between plant-type spirit beasts.
“It seems like he’s being suppressed…”
Seeing Chu Mu and his Soul Pets continue to retreat, the Chu family members all showed an uneasy expression.
Indeed, looking at the current situation, Chu Mu continued to retreat and had his Ice-Feathered Spirit keep casting ice walls to prevent shadow sneak attacks. However, with the Heavenly Rock Spirit present, these walls were quickly shattered…
“What’s the use of retreating!” Zhou Shengcheng revealed a smile and once again ordered his soul pets to move closer, while also casting rock-based soul skills to shatter the rising ice walls of the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
Chu Mu appeared very calm, retreating at a leisurely pace while still steadily setting up his defenses.
Zhou Shengcheng’s combination of soul pets was perfectly designed to counter the two high-damage Soul Pets of Chu Mu. It seemed like Zhou Shengcheng had no intention of switching out his soul pets and was using all of his soul power to cast soul skills!
The spell chanting began slowly, and this time Zhou Shengcheng decided to cast Rock Meteor Burst, a seventh-level skill that could cause significant damage to Chu Mu’s two Soul Pets!
“Bang!”
The ice wall shattered again, leaving no straight line of walls remaining. Without the ice wall’s reflection, the effects of the wall’s refracted light disappeared as well. The terrifying shadow, with the help of the darkness, stealthily made its way under the Ice-Feathered Spirit!
Shadow Bind!
Shadow Bind, a skill mastered by the Shadow, rendered a soul pet unable to use any skills and made it difficult for them to move their bodies!
With no more obstacles, the shadow’s skill rapidly enveloped the body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit. It was like a black cage that confined the body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit…
Zhou Shengcheng, who was chanting the spell, immediately revealed a smile. As long as Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit was restricted, victory was only a matter of time. Perhaps there was no need to release such a soul skill that consumed a large amount of soul power.
The shadow encased the Ice-Feathered Spirit, giving everyone in the Chu family a feeling of despair because everyone could see that once the Ice-Feathered Spirit was limited, the end of the battle was near.
However, just when everyone was frowning, Chu Mu revealed a smile!
This enchanting smile carried a bit of brutality, and when it appeared, the black pupils seemed to have an invisible murderous intention!
“Ning, kill!”
Chu Ming used a voice command to order the Ice-Feathered Spirit!
“Rustle-
The mysterious sound of the Ice-Feathered Spirit came from a distant location.
As the crisp sound rang out, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body that had been covered in shadow actually began to twist!
Shadows encased the Ice-Feathered Spirit, leaving only some scattered light spots that were gradually engulfed by the darkness. There was no trace of the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body at all!
The sudden disappearance of the Ice -Feathered Spirit stunned everyone. Just when evervone was shocked. an ice wall that no one Daid attention to in the chaotic square battlefield suddenly revealed the crystal clear body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit!
Ice Mirror!
No one thought that continuously releasing ice walls while defending against shadow attacks was also part of Chu Mu’s ice mirror trap. Now, the
Ice-Feathered Spirit suddenly appeared behind Zhou Shengcheng’s three Soul Pets, at a distance of less than thirty meters from Zhou Shengcheng!
“Rustle!!”
The ice enchantment had already been chanted, and a sudden burst of cold air began to spread as countless ice crystals began to rapidly condense and gather above the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s head!
Minute ice crystals formed ice swords, and soon, sixteen huge ice swords appeared, suspended and hanging upside down!!
“Rustle!”
With a long and graceful hum, the Ice-Feathered Spirit, under the astounded gazes of everyone, manipulated the sixteen massive ice swords that were more than six meters long to shoot straight down from the sky!
Under the beautiful sunshine, the cold light scattered!
The terrifying ice swords that suddenly fell were aimed directly at Zhou Shengcheng himself!
Without fine control, the sixteen ice swords stabbed terrifyingly close to Zhou Shengcheng! Even though Zhou Shengcheng had initially used ice armor for defense, he had no other defensive preparations when the sudden skill came.
“Bang!!” “Bang! Bang!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The rumbling explosions echoed throughout the entire square battlefield!
Such a terrifying attack brought constant destruction to the surroundings. For a moment, Zhou Shengcheng’s location was completely torn apart by the sixteen ice swords.
Deep sword pits, shattered ice crystals, and cracked ground…
However, all this wasn’t what truly made everyone on the square feel horrified. What was truly bone-chilling was that Zhou Shengcheng himself was turned into minced meat under the eyes of everyone by the sixteen ice swords!
