Chapter 301: Chapter 179: Ice-Feathered Spirit vs Ice-Feathered Spirit
Translator: 549690339
Element Square housed a myriad of rare Elemental Soul Pets as well as giant statues of powerful individuals from the Elemental Gate who had once shaken the entire Elemental World.
Unlike plazas in other regions, Element Square appeared more extravagant, with its ground paved with a variety of different ores and rocks, depicting colorful murals.
At the very center of the square was a medium-sized battlefield. Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi, led by an old servant, made their way to the centermost curved railing.
Upon entering, Chu Mu immediately noticed six elemental soul pets in the middle of a battle.
All six elemental soul pets were mainstream, each chanting spells and engaging in a test of skills.
“They’ve arrived, let’s show them the strength of our soul pets,” Hua Cheng immediately said with a smile, addressing Lu Tao beside him.
Lu Tao nodded and gestured to a member of the Elemental Gate they had invited. They stopped putting on a pointless show, immediately entering a real battle state.
“Look, this is Young Master Lu Tao’s thunder spirit, which is of the Eighth Stage. This Thunder Elf had the highest talent when captured, and after strengthening it, it is even stronger than many Thunderbolt Elves of the highest talent… Oh, Master Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit is the strongest. It has reached the sixth rank eighth stage. This Ice-Feathered Spirit was captured from the peak of a snow mountain after careful training. It is very powerful, many individuals have lost to this soul pet of the young master,” the old servant said.
Ye Qingzi coldly observed these pretentious individuals, telepathically asked Chu Mu, “Can we get the information from them?”
“Yeah,” Chu Mu, bored with the old servant’s nonsense, slowly approached the fighting poseurs.
“Friend, you should stay back. We wouldn’t want you to get hurt. Oh, I forgot to ask for your name. What’s yours?” Hua Cheng walked over, in a friendly manner.
“Chu Mu,” Chu Mu glanced at Hua Cheng and answered.
“Oh, Chu Mu,” Hua Cheng nodded with a smile, out of a subconscious habit. However, when he realized what was said, his smile stiffened.
“Chu Mu? Are you sure your name is Chu Mu?” Hua Cheng continued to look at the man before him, looking even more puzzled.
“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded.
“Prison Island King – Chu Mu?” Hua Cheng asked again.
Chu Mu still nodded.
Hua Cheng’s jaw dropped, his eyes widened in surprise. He didn’t know what to say for a moment.
They had certainly heard of the Prison Island King – Chu Mu. Chu Mu had become a top-notch expert in the West Region, and even in the remote Langhe Domain, one could often hear news about him.
“Ah, this, this, so you’re the famous Chu Mu… you… wait a moment.” Hua Cheng’s expression grew stranger, and he quickly returned to the battlefield, signaling for the dull battle performance to stop.
Lu Tao was showing off his elemental soul pets, thinking he could attract Ye Qingzi’s attention. Suddenly Hua Cheng asked him to stop, which puzzled him.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Tao asked in confusion.
“That guy is Chu Mu,” Hua Cheng said in a very low voice with some nervousness.
“Chu Mu? Which Chu Mu?” Lu Tao asked.
“Which Chu Mu else could it be, it’s the Prison Island King,” said Hua Cheng.
“Really?” Lu Tao was surprised for a moment. He took a special look at Chu Mu and found that this man was standing there coldly, giving off a faint chill.
Hua Cheng’s eyebrows immediately furrowed. He never expected his usual trick to lure in women would collide with the well-known Prison Island King – Chu Mu of the Western World.
“What to do, we’ve bumped into a tough one,” Hua Cheng was clearly more jumpy. He had thought of Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi as just two ordinary soul pet trainers.
“What’s there to be afraid of? This is the Elemental Gate. Even if he is Chu Mu, he wouldn’t dare make a mess,” Lu Tao seemed to be bolder.
True to fact, Lu Tao was considered a top-notch expert in the Langhe Domain and did have real strength. Even if he ran into the Prison Island King – Chu Mu, he believed he didn’t have much to be afraid of.
Lu Tao approached Chu Mu with a fake smile on his face, “I really didn’t expect you to be the recently famous Chu Mu. Did you come to our Elemental Gate specifically to challenge the experts of our Langhe Domain?”
“No, I have already mentioned my purpose earlier,” Chu Mu replied calmly.
“Oh, looking for someone… that’s a small matter. I have already asked around for you. Those two people headed towards the Colorful Dome Mountain,” Lu Tao said.
“Colorful Dome Mountain?” Chu Mu was also surprised that Lu Tao had so simply told him.
The Colorful Dome Mountain was a very famous elemental mountain in the Zhanli Realm, located in the west of Zhanli Realm, near the border between Zhanli Realm and the Li Domain. In Chu Mu’s original plan, he also intended to train at the Colorful Dome Mountain.
The Colorful Dome Mountain was teeming with elemental soul pets, from Monarch Level to Master Level. It was a paradise and a holy land for many elemental soul pet masters. Chu Mu still had an open slot for a soul pet, and he planned to tame an Elemental Soul Pet from an element other than fire and ice as his first Soul Lord Level pet. The Colorful Dome Mountain would provide him with an alternative place to obtain other types of elemental souls.
Colorful Dome Mountain, good, cheers,” Chu Mu nodded towards Lu Tao and immediately turned around to leave.
“Wait.” Lu Tao stopped Chu Mu.
“What’s up?”
“Since you’ve come to our Langhe City, how can you not have a fight?” Lu Tao said.
“You’re not my match.” Chu Mu said flatly.
What soul pet trainers need the most is to battle, especially those of the younger generation. Many of the young soul pet trainers seeking experience would head to various cities to challenge already renowned experts. Generally, powerful trainers from other regions who show off their identity too ostentatiously when in a new place would be regarded as coming to provoke by the local experts.
“I know I’m not your match, let’s just compete our elemental soul pets.” said Lu Tao.
Upon hearing Lu Tao’s words, Ye Qingzi, who had slowly walked down, immediately frowned. Since Lu Tao was a member of the Elemental Gate, it meant he had many elemental soul pets. And these elemental soul pets should all have undergone various training methods of the Elemental Gate, making them much stronger than those trained by soul pet trainers with no qualifications. If they were simply competing elemental soul pets, Chu Mu, who only had one elemental soul pet, would be at an extreme disadvantage.
“Okay.” Yet Chu Mu simply nodded.
Lu Tao had a seventh rank eighth stage Ice-Feathered Spirit which was not weak. Chu Mu also wanted to give his Ice-Feathered Spirit some practice.
“Oh, you better warn your friend to be careful. Young master’s Ice-Feathered Spirit has already mastered fine control and skill overlap. Its combat power ranks it as one of the strongest among the young master’s soul pets. Your friend’s Ice-Feathered Spirit is only at sixth rank seventh stage and could easily be killed in a split second if it’s not careful,” The old servant kept rambling next to Ye Qingzi.
The old servant’s main objective was to evoke Ye Qingzi’s interest in Lu Tao. However, this old guy seemed to be slightly hard of hearing and didn’t hear the name ‘Chu Mu.’ He thought it was Chu Mu, this arrogant guy who had rushed to compete with Lu Tao recklessly.
Ye Qingzi stood there as if she had turned into a cold statue, letting the old servant blabber on and on, but not really listening to a word.
On the battlefield, Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit had already been summoned in front of him. After fighting three-on-one in the Great Chu Noble Family, the Ice-Feathered Spirit hadn’t fought much. When Chu Mu summoned it, it excitedly continued to cry out, showing an obvious intention to teach that idiot a lesson.
“Ning, are you ready?” Chu Mu focused his eyes on Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit and spoke to the over-excited Ning.
“Li~(spirit noise)”
“Begin!”
“Ice Spike.” Lu Tao took the initiative and ordered his Ice-Feathered Spirit to use the ice attribute skill the first time around.
The spell was almost instantly completed. Chu Mu and Ning’s feet were instantly surrounded by frost. Subsequently, five ice thorns pierced through surprisingly high, reaching a height of more than twenty meters!
Chu Mu was about to let Ning release the Ice Sword Array, but the incantation of the Ice Sword Array was obviously longer than the Ice Spike. Thus, Chu Mu had no choice but to let Ning interrupt the skill and evade the piercing of these five ice thorns.
“At the beginning of a battle, it is unwise to use a powerful skill as the chant can easily get interrupted by faster chanted skills,” The old servant put on a knowledgeable look and said to Ye Qingzi.
Ye Qingzi indeed had the equanimity of a fairy. With such an old chatterbox rambling on the side, her brow didn’t even furrow, as if the old servant didn’t exist in her world.
The old servant wasn’t wrong. Unless there was an absolute opportunity, it was unwise to exhibit a strong skill first in a battle, especially during scenarios with single control and without other soul pets as escorts. The spell can be easily interrupted unless the soul pet possesses a stronger elemental will.
“Ice Wall.”
“Li~ (Spirit noise)”
Five tall Xuan crystal ice walls swiftly formed in front of Ning, standing tall!
“Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!”
All the numerous ice blades of Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit landed on the ice wall. These ice blades were only made up of ordinary ice crystals. Even though their power reached Level 7, they only managed to shatter four of the ice walls before turning into ice slag.
“Ning, Xuan Crystal Ice Sword.”
“Li~ (Spirit noise)”
With an ice wall still blocking, Ning’s Ice-Feathered spirit could release the Xuan Crystal Ice Sword without any worries!
The color was the Xuan crystal, the aquamarine color. On the spur of the moment, when the Ice-Feathered Spirit began its spell, it turned the Xuan crystal condensed above its head into a series of cold ice swords. Upon seeing this, Lu Tao and Hua Cheng immediately wore gloomy expressions. They had never expected Chu Mu’s sixth rank seventh stage Ice-Feathered Spirit to possess Xuan crystal formations.
And the old servant who had been jabbering non-stop suddenly choked up, his old eyes gazing at Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit releasing the Xuan Crystal Ice-Feathered Spirit. On his aged face was an expression of disbelief.
(I was too naive, at first. I thought there was no signal, but in reality, in the deep mountains and old forests, even charging a laptop is difficult.
