Chapter 201: Chapter 82: The Battle of Jia Domain
Translator: 549690339
“During dinner tonight, Jia Feng, the second son of the city lord, has implied that he wants to challenge you. Prepare yourself and respond to the battle the day after tomorrow,” said Princess Jinrou.
“Okay.” Chu Mu nodded.
Princess Jinrou didn’t speak anymore; her always somewhat melancholy eyes gazed at the solitary and proud white autumn plum blooming by the pond, entering a contemplative state again.
Chu Mu resumed his original leaning posture. He couldn’t leave until the princess left, so he could only stay there, daydreaming with her…
After an unknown amount of time, a guard’s cold voice came from not far away in the courtyard.
“The second son of the City Lord, Jia Feng, asks for an audience.”
The princess’s thoughts were interrupted, she lazily nodded her head, not even looking at Jia Feng.
Chu Mu glanced over and saw a youth with a flowing hairstyle and bright clothes standing there, gazing at this place, seemingly eager to meet the princess.
The princess nodded, and the guard naturally let him pass. Even though Jia Feng was in a hurry to see the princess, he still pretended to be composed as he walked to the staircase leading to the courtyard. He held an exquisite box in both hands, seemingly intending to present it.
“Greetings, Princess.” Jia Feng half-knelt with the beautiful box.
“Get up.” Princess Jinrou still didn’t look back and gave a light response.
Seeing that he couldn’t arouse the princess’s interest, Jia Feng’s face showed obvious disappointment. However, he still managed to maintain a calm smile and said with a gentle voice, “These are some cakes and preserves specially prepared for the princess by the master chef before your arrival. Please enjoy them…”
“Put it down.” Jin Kui spoke indifferently, seeing that the princess didn’t want to talk.
Jia Feng’s expression stiffened again, clearly feeling awkward since the princess hadn’t even looked at him…
“Princess, regarding the matter I mentioned earlier, I wonder about your decision…” Jia Feng couldn’t leave so uninterestingly; he immediately glanced at the indifferent Chu Mu standing beside the princess and spoke up.
“Young Master Chu Yan has already agreed. You both can start preparing.” , Jin Kui replied on the princess’s behalf.
“That’s great. However, my soul pet is somewhat wild and difficult to tame. If it hurts the princess’s guard in the process, I hope the princess can forgive me,” Jia Feng said. Only strength can make people pay attention in this world. Naturally, Jia Feng’s words are meant to show his confidence, even if his opponent is the famous Prison Island King.
“As long as you don’t take their lives, it’s fine,” Princess Jinrou indifferently replied.
Jia Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the princess’s indifferent attitude, he didn’t know what to say for a while. He stood there for a long time, not thinking of anything else to say, and finally left in frustration. Of course, before leaving, Jia Feng didn’t forget to give Chu Mu a provocative look.
Chu Mu might have been affected by Princess Jinrou’s melancholy temperament as he recalled many past events, so he didn’t pay attention to Jia Feng’s look.
Such neglect was undoubtedly considered as disregard by Jia Feng. Jia Feng took it for granted that the princess ignored him, but being ignored by his opponent must have felt awful, so he left with a cold laugh.
That being said, even if Chu Mu noticed Jia Feng’s gaze, he would probably ignore it as well. It had little to do with recalling past events.
Not long after Jia Feng left, Princess Jinrou gradually recovered. She had Jin Kui open the box of food and gently recited a spell to summon a small, exquisite, and fluffy soul pet. She then casually fed the sweets to this fox-like soul pet, which looked somewhat similar to Chu Mu’s MO Ye.
“The Sixth-level Full-state Attack Soul Armor was originally a reward for you. Since you have already bought one yourself, I will reward you with another one next time there is a chance…” said the princess at bedtime, speaking indifferently to Chu Mu.
” Chu Mu could only remain speechless.
Watching the graceful figure gradually disappear, Chu Mu’s heart was also somewhat touched. On the one hand, it was the emotional change towards this attractive woman he had already developed feelings for, and on the other hand, it was the princess’s generous behavior.
A soul armor worth nearly ten million, sent to others so casually, and it’s likely that she would send soul armor of the same value every time she meets a guard. This would be equivalent to giving away sixty million in gifts. It also showed that there was still a considerable gap between Chu Mu, whose assets had just reached ten million, and her.
Although Chu Mu knew that there was still quite a distance to truly reach the realm in which this princess resided, he did not feel left in the dust.
Chu Mu had only been really starting to control soul pets for four years, and what’s more, he had so many potential soul pets. One day, he would stand at her height, or even higher realms.
The most popular among the young generation are battles and challenges. No matter which region, there is never a moment of stagnation in battles between Soul Pet Masters. It is common to see Soul Pet Masters of different levels and realms competing against each other.
Of course, other than some already well-known strong players with extraordinary duels, the most-watched are the confrontations between the young generation’s top experts.
Young experts need the most training, and if they aren’t honing their skills in the wild, they frequently challenge other Soul Pet Masters to constantly improve their own soul pet strength through battles.
As the age and experience of Soul Pet Masters increase, many of them travel around, representing various positions. This leads to a lot of chaos, so their battles carry a more prominent personal strength and stance, and they will not act casually.
In contrast, the young generation needs the most sharpening, and battles are the most frequent domain for them. Often, they represent a certain position or region, making their battles a competition between different forces and regions.
As a result, the duels among the young generation draw more attention. The battles between the top young experts often set off a wave of frenzy.
When the Prison Island King Chu Mu appeared in Jia City, many people began to speculate whether the young experts from the Jia family would spark with Chu Mil.
As expected, the news of the battle came out, and the one challenging the
Prison Island King Chu Mu was Jia Feng, who was highly popular in Jia
Domain!
Jia Feng’s reputation is no less than that of Yang Luosen, the Nightmare Youth of Luo region, and he is known by many people in various regions. Even in the
Luo region, news of this guy defeating a young powerhouse can often be heard.
Chu Mu had been missing for four years, and he used to occasionally hear some exciting news about a powerhouse. Now he had almost forgotten those people. After four years of isolation, countless young experts have risen, and experts like Jia Feng. Chu Mu had never heard of them before and thought that their fame had gradually expanded only in these four years.
At first, Chu Mu envied those young experts for having a battle that could make people in an entire region and even several regions discuss; unknowingly, Chu Mu had also entered this field and seemed to be even more famous than those young experts who he had looked up to before. This made Chu Mu feel somewhat gratified, imagining how excited his father Chu Tiancheng would be if he heard the news from others.
Of course, Chu Mu realized early on that his father was not an unknown person hidden in Gangluo City, and even Chu Tiancheng may not be his real name. Therefore, Chu Mu had to continue his journey until he could truly reach the realm of the “Soul Covenant Prohibition”.
Battles always make people’s blood boil, especially the battles of the young generation with unlimited potential, which often amaze people. After the day of the showdown between the Prison Island King Chu Mu and Jia Feng of the Jia Family arrives, the luxurious river battlefield outside Jia City has already become a boiling sea of people.
Gangluo City is a level 8 city with its largest battlefield inside and outside accommodating tens of thousands of people. Jia City is a level 10 city, and its most luxurious battlefield is even more magnificent!
One of the most distinctive features of Jia City is the only river on the vast plain. The river flows straight down from the higher terrain, traversing the entire Jia City.
The river battlefield is built exactly on the most turbulent and rushing part of this raging river!
This unrestrained river is 100 meters wide; even if one takes a boat down the river when it is swirling and rushing, it would take several minutes to cross this river battlefield.
This is just the width of the river battlefield; the turbulent river on both sides forms terrain with a certain slope, making this battlefield awe-inspiring, looking like a vast outdoor field where soul pets can ride the wind and waves while inside Jia City.
The climate on the plain is usually clear, but today it is different. The sky is no longer blue and cloudless, but covered by dark clouds unknowingly.
The dark clouds are very high and do not give a sense of depression; instead, they raise gusts of cold wind in this vast battlefield, which howls with the fierce river.
Chu Yan, you are the most talked-about person in our recent regional fields. In a short time, you have allowed people in our Jia Domain to know your name, Chu Yan. This is rare, truly an outstanding talent emerging.” Seated in the viewing area, the elderly Jia City Lord praised Chu Mu with a smile.
Chu Mu, of course, also knew that if it weren’t for Princess Jinrou’s presence, this dignified level 10 city lord would not have said such a thing so easily, so he just nodded without showing any emotion.
“Since the princess is our guest, let’s have her decide the battle format.” The Jia City Lord’s tone was always friendly, appearing to be approachable.
“You decide, Master.” Princess Jinrou said indifferently.
During Princess Jinrou’s trip this time, on the surface, she was visiting various regions on behalf of the Nightmare Demon Palace to negotiate with them, but in reality, she was challenging others with her people.
Challenges should also be according to the host’s rules, which is an established custom in various regions; Princess Jinrou would not override this power due to her status.
“In that case, I will unabashedly make the decision for the battle format.” The
Jia City Lord said politely.
“I’ve heard that Young Master Chu Yan lost a soul due to an accident. If it were a triple-control battle, it’ll be easier for Jia Feng. However, a single-control battle would lack some combat enthusiasm and wouldn’t reflect the strength of the two younger generation. How about a compromise? A double-control battle without changing soul pets… What do you think, princess?” said the Jia City Lord.
“Let the Chu Guard decide.” Princess Jinrou glanced at Chu Mu and said indifferently.
“I don’t like constrained battles, but I can accept not changing soul pets,” Chu Mu said, disregarding the rules.
In fact, in Prison Island, Chu Mu often battled opponents with three souls, and there were no specific rules there. Nowadays, battles always have some restrictions.
“Hmph, I’ve seen many arrogant people, and in the end, they were all stepped under my feet,” Jia Feng snorted coldly.
“Let’s just limit the changing of soul pets then since Young Master Chu Yan doesn’t have that many soul pets.” The Jia City Lord said, always carrying a hint of hypocritical politeness towards Chu Mu in his words.
The World Decree had no restrictions, so limited battles were definitely not what Princess Jinrou wanted. Weakness was weakness, and when it came time for the real selection, Chu Mu’s missing soul wouldn’t be favored by Princess Jinrou, so Chu Mu felt there was no need for it.
“It doesn’t matter if we change or not, he won’t have the opportunity anyway…” Jia Feng wouldn’t lose his family’s morale in his camp and said arrogantly.
“Young people are always ambitious and proud. Please forgive us, Princess,” the Jia City Lord immediately laughed and explained Jia Feng’s arrogant behavior.
Princess Jinrou just nodded without speaking.
“Then, both of you enter the arena,” said the Jia City Lord.
Chu Mu ignored the aggressive Jia Feng and slowly walked towards the vast river battlefield.
Jia Feng looked at Chu Mu walking and sneered. He directly cast the Wind-Riding spell on himself, floated into the air, and flew across the high stands towards the other side of the river battlefield with the fierce wind.
Chu Mu had limited soul power, so he naturally wouldn’t waste soul power for a short-lived thrill. Therefore, tens of thousands of people waited a long time for him to finally reach the other side of the river battlefield.
“Your Highness, your guard is really calm,” Jia Qing said sarcastically as he watched Chu Mu walk slowly into the battlefield.
Princess Jinrou patiently watched Chu Mu walk to the battlefield with a slight smile on her lips. She found that Chu Mu always had an indifferent appearance, but many of his actions had a casual, unrestrained nature. He always fought in his own way, never affected by others or the outside world, even in a battle watched by tens of thousands of people.
“Your Highness, this guard doesn’t understand the rules at all. He should be taught a lesson one day.” Jin Kui whispered in Princess Jinrou’s ear.
“I like this temperament,” Princess Jinrou said indifferently.
In the World Decree, countless people watched the battle, including many of the most authoritative figures. If someone didn’t have enough composure, it would be easy to perform abnormally. Thus, Princess Jinrou thought Chu Mu also had the “demeanor of an expert.”
“Summon your soul pets!” The Jia City Lord used his soul sense to speak, and his voice spread immediately.
In the vast river battlefield, the sound was easily dispersed by the fierce wind, especially when tens of thousands of people were watching. The fact that the Jia City Lord’s voice could be heard by everyone in the vast area indicated the strength of his soul sense!
In a formal battle, it’s customary for both soul pet trainers to summon their soul pets at the same time to avoid situations where those summoned later are directly restrained by their attributes.
So when the Jia City Lord’s voice drifted down, Chu Mu and Jia Feng simultaneously recited their spells, summoning their first soul pets for the battle.
As Chu Mu recited his spell, red flames gradually burned around his body. The Demon Fire Evil Flame rose up and appeared slanted in the fierce wind, making the flames look even wilder.
Six streams of flames slowly floated above the pattern formed by Chu Mu’s spell, then slowly rotated downward, finally rotating below the pattern…
“Woosh——-“
All of a sudden, flames soared, like a blooming fiery flower!
The luxurious six tails opened like flaming petals, facing the fierce wind with pride, nobility, and arrogance, and MO Ye appeared in the flames astonishingly! !
There was no need for intentional release, as MO Ye’s demonic aura spread around as soon as it appeared, causing the intense plains wind to become chaotic, turning into a series of chaotic air currents that gradually dissipated. “Warrior Level Perfect Soul Pet, Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox!”
“As expected, it’s the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox, with a talent comparable to many Commander-level soul pets!”
People who have only heard of Chu Mu’s reputation but not his Soul Pets were immediately surprised at the sight of Chu Mu’s summoned First Soul Pet.
As for people who already knew that Chu Mu possessed an Evil Flame Six-tailed Demon Fox, they were also amazed, finally witnessing such an extremely rare Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox.
As Chu Mu summoned MO Ye, Jia Feng had already completed his spell. When the summoning pattern was formed, one could clearly see streaks of purple lightning emerging high in the black sky!
The chaotic purple electric arcs flickered, and suddenly, a dazzling burst of light was released, even hundreds of meters away, it still felt somewhat blinding!
“Chaos Thunder Feather Demon!”
As the blinding light dimmed, people were shocked to see a huge Chaos-colored winged Soul Pet appear in the vast battlefield!
High in the sky and wide-open ground, the Chaos Thunder Feather Demon should have seemed somewhat small from a distance, but when the eyes focused on it, one could distinctly feel the huge aura of this Commander-level Soul Pet!
Chaos Thunder Feather Demon: Demon Beast World – Winged System Feathered Demon Race – Chaos Thunder Feather Demon Subfamily Intermediate Commander Level
The Chaos Thunder Feather Demon’s wings were shaped like an eagle’s, covered with sharp chaos-colored feathers, giving off a sense of a dark shimmer. Just a sweep could cut through anything. Its upper body resembled a giant crane covered in dark shimmering feathers; its beak was like an incredibly sharp sword with flashes of lightning visible on it. Its lower body was similar to most bird-shaped Soul Pets, but its claws were terrifying black eagle claws, sharp as hooks, making one shudder.
“Sixth Rank Seventh Stage… I remember it was only Sixth Rank Fourth Stage in the last battle. Jia Feng’s Chaos Thunder Feather Demon’s strength has increased rapidly, and it must have already surpassed the combat power of his Sixth Rank Seventh Stage Horror Wolf, becoming Jia Feng’s second main pet,” murmured the onlookers as they spoke up immediately.
Jia Feng had a considerable reputation in Jia Domain, and his general situation was naturally well-known to many people. The reason why many people pay more attention to the young experts is precisely because their strength improves noticeably, often causing others to be surprised after a while!
The river in the River Battlefield was a hundred meters wide, and the distance between Chu Mu and Jia Feng was at least two hundred meters. Although Chu Mu could not fully see the growth situation of this Chaos Thunder Feather
Demon, he could still feel the strength of this Soul Pet from its aura, which was definitely not comparable to ordinary Commanders.
The higher one goes, the more powerful and aberrant talent Soul Pets one encounters. Chu Mu could determine that the overall attributes of this Chaos Thunder Feather Demon in front of him were probably higher than many superior high-level Commanders, and like his own MO Ye, it was approaching Monarch level.
“Woo-woo-woo-woo!”
Regardless of how powerful the opponent, MO Ye always faced them calmly, even against Soul Pets of a higher level, MO Ye maintained an arrogant attitude from beginning to end!
“Chaos Thunder, its effect is no less than that of the Demon Fire Evil Flame. If there is any other attribute strengthening, the two should be evenly matched in terms of attribute comparison.”
“The Chaos Thunder Feather Demon is Jia Feng’s second main pet, while the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox is Chu Mu’s strongest Soul Pet; the gap should be quite evident.”
Soon, many people began evaluating the two sides’ Soul Pets.
“Battle begins!!!”
The voice of the Jia City Lord once again echoed in the sky above the River Battlefield!
Harsh and shrill, like agitated thunder, the Chaos Thunder Feather Demon suddenly let out a shriek. As Jia Feng leaped onto its back, it immediately soared up with flapping wings, flying directly in this vast area.
When the two Soul Pets were summoned, many people could already see that in this vast environment, the Chaos Thunder Feather Demon, which could fly freely in the sky, would undoubtedly have a significant advantage in terrain. Chu Mu was expected to summon his second Soul Pet in a short time. Otherwise, the non-flying Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox would have no chance to fight against it.
Chu Mu raised his head and saw the Chaos Thunder Feather Demon flying over the river. He too leaped onto MO Ye and rode onto its extremely fast back, running across the vast battlefield.
A stunning purple lightning suddenly tore through the sky, falling from the high black clouds above like a purple falling dragon, breathtaking!
This shining lightning strike officially opened the curtain of this Jia Domain’s battle of prowess!!
