“Rest assured, the side effects of his half-demon state are very strong. I dare say that his soul is severely damaged. Even if he were in a normal state now, he would dare not to become half-demonized again. And without the half-demon state, he is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered…” Xia Guanghan said.
“If that’s the case, then why don’t you send someone to get rid of him?” Zuo Xiao asked.
“Tracking is not my forte, he would most likely change his name and identity. My forces are very limited. I need assassins like you. Besides, isn’t tracking your specialty in the Underground Palace?” Xia Guanghan replied.
“That’s true. I will send someone to investigate. Whether I can help you get rid of him will depend on your sincerity.” Zuo Xiao said.
Xia Guanghan’s mouth twitched. By ‘sincerity’, Zuo Xiao meant the remuneration that Xia Guanghan will offer. The price of eliminating Chu Mu wouldn’t be cheap, especially since his whereabouts are unknown at the moment.
“Don’t worry about that, I won’t have you work for me for nothing.” Xia Guanghan said.
“Well, I have no choice. It’s the rule of the Underground Palace, even if we were brothers, it wouldn’t work. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. I have another old friend to meet.” Zuo Xiao said.
“Alright, go ahead. I just hope you can get this matter sorted out for me as soon as possible.” Xia Guanghan nodded.
Zuo Xiao did not say anything further, he turned and walked out of the hall.
Zuo Xiao’s steps were not in a hurry. As he disappeared into the hall, Xia Guanghan’s face darkened a lot.
Xia Guanghan never expected Chu Mu’s growth to be so swift. It seems that in another year or two, he, Xia Guanghan, would not even have the qualification to confront him.
In fact, what Xia Guanghan is most worried about is not Chu Mu’s half-demonization issue. Chu Mu is just a low-spirited soul master now. The high temperature of the soul is impossible for him to bear. Unless there is some kind of extraordinary treasure to maintain, he can no longer half-democratize.
What worries him the most is that soul pet with the ability to mutate continuously. That is something Xia Guanghan dreams of. If the stage of that soul pet advances too quickly and mutates into a stronger soul pet, then even if Chu Mu is killed, it will be more difficult for him, Xia Guanghan, to snatch this continuously mutative soul pet from Chu Mu. After all, the stronger the soul pet, the lower the probability of signing a soul contract with it.
“If the people from the Underground Palace cannot solve this issue, then I might have to take a step back and share this with him.” Xia Guanghan said to himself.
Xia Guanghan did not really go to the top floor of the Nightmare Demon Palace. With his status, it’s hard for him to know the bigger secret behind the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. Xia Guanghan originally thought he could eat this huge cake alone, but seeing Chu Mu’s growth speed, he felt he might have to compromise and negotiate with the Soul Covenant, hiding some sweetness behind him.
Xia Guanghan was unwilling. Clearly, a youth he could handle, and with his strength he could absolutely take down Chu Mu. But things are getting harder to control…
Time flies, almost half a year has passed since the incident in the Li city. The spectacular turmoil has also gradually settled down.
Half a year can be very long, especially when Chu Mu gradually adapted to life in the human-world, and when Chu Mu deliberately spent half a year, following those rarely-trodden paths, constantly killing along the way, Chu Mu felt that these six months were very long.
During this half year, except for occasionally going to the city to buy necessary Soul Crystals and Soul Cores, Chu Mu almost never stayed in the city for long, nor did he purchase any spirit items to enhance the attributes of the soul pets.
On the other hand, Chu Mu also found that the gap between the combat power levels reaching the Monarch level and the previous levels was astonishing. This gap was astonishing even to Chu Mu. Quasi-monarchs and low-grade monarchs, even tens of millions of spirit items, may not be able to buy them. And these spirit items are not as plentiful as the previous levels and are not available for purchase whenever you want.
The soul pet trainer is a very rich profession, but also at any time it can go bankrupt. Chu Mu found that currently, he could only upgrade his battle power level from the quasi-monarch stage to the low-grade monarch stage. Upgrading from a low-grade monarch to an intermediate monarch was simply a dream. And to equip each soul pet with soul armor, that was even more impossible. The price of seventh-level soul equipment was simply outrageous!
Later, Chu Mu also put in diligent effort in the stage. All the funds he obtained were all used to purchase spirit items that could quickly increase the stages of the soul pets. After a half year of hard cultivation and training, Chu Mu also made some achievements in the stages of the soul pets.
The strength of the White Nightmare Demon has somewhat exceeded Chu Mu’s control range, so Chu Mu did not put much effort into the stage of the White Nightmare Demon. And for this kind of evil soul pet like the White Nightmare Demon, as long as it is fed enough soul power and occasionally participates in some battles, its strength is still very strong.
Of course, even though Chu Mu suppressed the White Nightmare Demon’s strength for half a year, the White Nightmare Demon still advanced two stages, reaching the Seventh Rank Seventh Stage.
The other soul pets became the main focus of Chu Mu’s stage upgrade.
Mo Ye has metamorphosed to the Seventh Rank First-stage. With the enhancement of Spirit Items and relentless battles, Chu Mu raised Mo Ye to the Seventh Rank 5th Stage.
Mo Ye and Chu Mu were linked by a soul bond; as long as the soul of one party was not sealed, no matter the distance, they could locate each other. When Chu Mu was taken away by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, he was separated from Mo Ye for nearly half a month. But, Mo Ye was able to find Chu Mu and continues to accompany him on his journey eastward.
Zhan Ye’s rank had always been low, and during this half a year period, Chu Mu’s demand for Zhan Ye remained very high. For a low-rank soul pet like Zhan Ye, who could fight fearlessly due to its powerful vitality and courage, Chu Mu generally asked it to fight above its own rank.
Fighting above ones rank was very beneficial for the increase of a soul pet’s strength. Hence, Zhan Ye has been the fastest evolving among all of Chu Mu’s soul pets, and he is now at sixth-level nine-stage. With some further nurture from spirit items and another extreme challenge, Zhan Ye could potentially reach the rank of seventh-stage first-level!
Without considering the effects of elemental attributes, Zhan Ye, with its unique capabilities, could match up to Mo Ye who is a lower level monarch in terms of combat power level. If it reached the seventh-stage first-level, it would present Chu Mu with another formidable weapon in battle.
The Ghost Dome King at the fifth-level nine-stage didn’t evolve very quickly. It only advanced four ranks to the sixth stage, level three. Generally, when faced with a seventh ranked soul pet, Chu Mu usually sends out the Ghost Dome King, which has a relatively high combat level and can cross ranks to fight.
Since they have been constantly training in the wild, Chu Mu has come across quite a few normal demon spirit houses. Every time they passed through a demon spirit house, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s strength would increase significantly. With the evolution of the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s abilities, it would fight more frequently and gradually began to show the advantages of a high-level spiritual control demon spirit. Its rank has also increased from the seventh-rank, fourth-stage to the seventh-rank ninth-stage, making it the highest-ranked amongst Chu Mu’s soul pets.
The Ice Feathered Spirit is the soul pet that possesses the strongest skill set among all Chu Mu’s soul pets. Its constant presence in the battles and its ice element skills such as Ice Seal and Slow have made it a frequent figure on the battlefield. Especially when facing a formidable enemy, Chu Mu often uses the strategy of a Demon Tree Warrior using its roots to restrain, Mo Ye tearing down defenses, and Ice Feathered Spirit attacking from afar. This can be said to be Chu Mu’s most flawless tactic at the moment.
The choice for Chu Mu’s second soul pet was a delicate one, the combination of these three soul pets are very mainstream and is difficult to break through in terms of attributes. Moreover, these three soul pets have been with Chu Mu for the longest time, they share a deep understanding of each other, hence, they form Chu Mu’s most impenetrable three-pet combination
With frequent battles and the consumption of ice element spirit items, the Ice Feathered Spirit has gained many benefits. The rank of Ice Feathered Spirit has also boosted to the seventh level, seventh stage, achieving a significant growth in strength.
As for the Demon Tree Warrior, its presence in almost every battle in the wild made it an indispensable pet that can control the entire battle situation.
Aside from Zhan Ye, the most potent fighter among all Chu Mu’s soul pets was the Demon Tree Warrior with its life siphon ability. The Demon Tree Warrior also rose from the seventh-rank first-stage to the seventh-rank sixth-stage, progressing at quite a speedy rate.
In fact, compared to high ranked species, the rank of lower species will increase more rapidly with the same combat experience.
After all, the rank of a soul pet was linked to its lifespan to some extent. The lifespan of a high-rank species was longer, and their growth and metamorphosis caused by ageing would be slower than that of a lower-rank species. On the other hand, the lifespan of lower-ranked creatures like Servant Level, Warrior Level, and Commander Level soul pets is not that long. Therefore, their bodies mature more quickly, and their ranks also grow faster with their physical maturity.
Deep into the night, after feeding the White Nightmare Demon, Chu Mu let his soul sense into the Soul Pet Space. He sat down to hold an internal meeting with everyone.
“Although it’s challenging, we must capture that young pet this time. Otherwise, we might really starve.”
“Woo Woo Woo” The most gluttonous Mo Ye absolutely did not allow such a situation to happen, and immediately made a protesting sound.
“Heehee” The White Demon expressed that it was not under any pressure. After all, it usually doesn’t eat soul crystals or soul cores…
The price of soul cores and soul crystals has surged several times with the advancement of soul pets. Chu Mu had just spent money on spiritual items to promote the Night Thunder Dream Beast and was out of luck when he ventured into the wilderness this time, not getting anything valuable.
His stock of soul cores was nearly depleted. It now required three to four million funds to purchase a month’s worth of food, and three months’ worth of food would require ten million gold coins. These expenses were indeed giving Chu Mu a great headache.
The slightly comforting fact was that after almost half a month of tracking, Chu Mu found the footprint of a young pet, which was very likely a monarch-level Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird!
Chu Mu was really short of money now. A quasi-monarch could be sold anywhere between 50 million to 100 million.
For this fund, Chu Mu was determined to catch the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird!
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to break through many difficulties and capture the young monarch-level pet that only appeared once every six months.
