Chapter 516: Chapter 388: Accumulative Advancement, Eighth Rank Fifth Stage
After collecting the Eighth Level Soul Technique Sharp Pupil, Chu Mu specifically went to the area for Seventh Level Soul Techniques and chose a book on seventh-level defense skills.
In all lines, the Rock type defense was the most absolute, so Chu Mu chose Dark Crystal Rock Armor as his seventh-level soul technique.
Ghost Dome King actually also possessed Dark Crystal Rock Armor, which was considered a racial skill for Ghost Dome King. However, this racial skill could not be applied to others, and if Chu Mu used Charming Pet’s copy, the power would be greatly reduced.
Chu Mu was currently a Five-Thought Soul Master, and by using the seventh-level defense soul technique in a pure way, he could resist ninth-rank attacks to a certain extent.
“When do you plan to enter the Wind-binding Sanctuary again? The elders told me that the Wind-binding Sanctuary will likely open in about ten days. Since others will also enter, it’s best for you to enter shortly after it opens to avoid losing the opportunity.” Ting Lan said.
“Let’s wait for ten days. In these few days, I’ll strengthen my soul pets first,” Chu Mu replied.
“Did Sai Ren tell me that you’re preparing to deal with Shen Yicheng?” Ting Lan asked. Since Sai Ren was involved in this matter, Ting Lan knew about it.
“Yeah, what do you know about him?” Chu Mu asked.
“I had some dealings with him. He’s a very inscrutable person. Shen Yicheng’s strength may be stronger than mine, so if you want to deal with him, try to avoid direct confrontation… However, he also has a vast network of relationships and is very good at playing with dark tactics. He’s not easy to deal with, you need to be very careful.” Ting Lan said.
Chu Mu nodded, took the two soul technique books, and left the Holy Book Pavilion with Ting Lan.
Shang Heng would be responsible for the matters regarding the Luoyu Gate’s senior and tracking Jiang Zhi from the Luoyu Gate. Chu Mu only needed to lurk in the dark at the critical moment to ruin Shen Yicheng’s plan.
Jiang Zhi of the Luoyu Gate and Feng Kun of the Soul Covenant were both second-tier experts. Chu Mu’s current strength allowed him to be ranked among the second-tier experts, but there was still a gap compared to the true strong ones. Chu Mu also planned to strengthen his soul pets to the eighth stage in these few days.
After parting ways with Ting Lan, Chu Mu went directly to the Soul Hall Main Hall and began searching for the spirit items he needed the most in the vast list of spirit items.
“The effect of the eighth-level soul crystal should be similar. Soul crystals worth around 20 million have weaker effects, so it’s better to buy ones worth 50 million,” Fox Elder advised Chu Mu.
Among the single attributes, the Demon Tree Warrior was Wood Type, Chu Mu ignored the Beast attribute completely, so he could buy Wood Attribute Eighth-Level Soul Crystal to enhance the Demon Tree Warrior’s stage.
Eighth Level Soul Crystals have different prices according to the stage and species of the soul pets, with the lower ones generally costing around 15 million, and the higher ones costing tens of millions or even billions.
Soul crystals were always in high demand, and Chu Mu quickly found an eighth-rank wooden soul crystal, spending 50 million gold coins on it.
The Ghost Dome King’s main attribute was Rock type, with a secondary attribute of Ghost Race. The Ghost Dome King’s King Ghost Transformation skill and many other attack skills had a significant increase in lethality because of the ghost lineage, so Chu Mu did not intend to erase the Ghost Dome King’s ghost attributes during training but opted for a one-primary, one-secondary cultivation strategy.
The prices of double attribute eighth-level soul crystals were extremely high, especially for the perfect combination of the Rock type and Ghost Lineage, which eliminated the weak points of the Rock type. Chu Mu scanned the list and found that he needed at least 100 million to buy a high-quality eighth-level Rock and Ghost double attribute soul crystal.
Such soul crystals did not merely upgrade the stage of the soul pet, to some extent, they could strengthen the attributes of the soul pet and elevate their combat power level.
In the end, Chu Mu chose a spirit item called the Soul of the Giant Race, which was a more unusual spirit item. In the description, the item was formed when a certain Rock-element Giant died, turned into a semi-Ghost Race, and then was refined into a spirit item that could make the soul of the Giant Race’s soul pets even more powerful by some powerful spirit masters.
It was the first time Chu Mu came across such a spirit item, and Fox Elder said that these items were actually very expensive. Chu Mu spent the 40 million on the weakest and most incomplete Soul of the Giant Race.
As long as it could upgrade the Ghost Dome King to the eighth stage, it was good enough.
Next was the spirit item for Zhan Ye. Zhan Ye’s spirit items were also very difficult to buy.
Zhan Ye had three attributes. If Chu Mu wanted to strengthen all of them, the price of the spirit items might be as high as 150 million. If he spent more money on some spirit items, Zhan Ye’s combat power would directly rise to an intermediate monarch!
Of course, Chu Mu also knew that the strengthening of spirit items could not happen so frequently. He speculated that he would need to raise Zhan Ye’s stage more before he could truly increase Zhan Ye’s combat power level; otherwise, stuffing such a huge amount of spirit items into his body could actually bring about negative effects.
In order not to mess up Zhan Ye’s attributes, Chu Mu ultimately chose a spirit item from the Horned Armored Beast race.
As the mainstream in the clan of soul pets, it would not be too difficult to find the corresponding spirit items for the Horned Armored Beast race. In the end, Chu Mu chose a 50-million Heart of Horned Armor as the spirit item to upgrade Zhan Ye to the eighth stage.
After all the spirit items were purchased, Chu Mu did not waste any time and went straight back to his residence, closed the door, and began to strengthen his three soul pets.
…
Chu Mu first strengthened the Demon Tree Warrior.
The Demon Tree Warrior reached the Seventh Level Ninth Stage earlier than the Ghost Dome King and Zhan Ye. During their time in the desert, the Demon Tree Warrior was the main force in battles and should have already metamorphosed into the Eighth Stage.
However, Soul Pets will always encounter some bottlenecks at certain stages, and it is difficult to overcome them through simple battles alone.
Chu Mu put the eighth-level wood attribute in his palm, closed his eyes, and used his soul sense to introduce the energy of the wood attribute into the soul of the Demon Tree Warrior.
Inside the Soul Pet Space, the Demon Tree Warrior slowly opened its eyes. The pupils that should have been somewhat muddy gradually revealed a fierce blood-red color!
Chu Mu was calm and allowed the Demon Tree Warrior to absorb this energy from the purest demon tree soul crystal bit by bit, making its body cross the limit of the Seventh Stage and slowly enter the Eighth Stage realm.
In the beginning, when the energy was injected, the Demon Tree Warrior showed some violent temper, which was also caused by the Blood Amber. As Chu Mu’s gentle training continued, the Demon Tree Warrior gradually calmed down…
Even during the metamorphosis of the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, it calmly stood there, bathed in a green glow…
Chu Mu knew that the Demon Tree Warrior had undergone metamorphosis, but this did not mean it was over. The Demon Tree Warrior’s energy should have accumulated for a long time due to the Seventh Stage bottleneck. As long as it crosses this stage, the Demon Tree Warrior will undergo continuous growth!
As expected, the green brilliance did not fade due to the Demon Tree Warrior’s metamorphosis. Instead, powerful circles of green light, like pulses, twined around the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, causing its body to gradually change under this glow.
The Demon Tree Warrior’s Ran Wood Crystallization didn’t change, but when its body no longer emitted green light, its figure became smoother, and the wood seemed to merge together like incredibly hard metal, filling it with a special power.
“Eighth Stage Fifth Level, it was indeed due to the bottleneck suppression!” A smile appeared on Chu Mu’s face.
The Demon Tree Warrior was the main force in battles during their time in the desert and one of the most battle-hardened Soul Pets. Under normal circumstances, with this level crossing and group fighting, the Demon Tree Warrior should have already metamorphosed into the Eighth Stage.
Now it seems that the Demon Tree Warrior might have been continuously battling during that period, causing its body to become somewhat fatigued. Even though its strength had already reached the required level, its body couldn’t keep up.
Now, after being nourished by Spirit Items, the Demon Tree Warrior’s strength is guaranteed. It has directly upgraded from the Seventh Level Ninth Stage to the Eighth Level Fifth Stage. Even though there are no obvious changes in its crystallization, this growth and metamorphosis have doubled the Demon Tree Warrior’s strength at least!
“Intermediate Blood Ran Wood Crystallization, Eighth Level Mid-stage Defense, plus the effect of Ran Wood Armor, reaching Eighth Level Late-stage Defense, the defense has reached the level of the Ghost Dome King.” Chu Mu was very satisfied with the Demon Tree Warrior’s attributes.
Strong defense, strong vitality, strong restrictions, strong group attacks, the current Demon Tree Warrior can completely hold its own!
“Ooo~~~~~~~ Ooo~~~~~~~~~”
After reaching the Eighth Stage Fifth Level, the Demon Tree Warrior let out a hearty roar.
The breakthrough of the bottleneck was like a transformation for the Demon Tree Warrior. Chu Mu knew that the Demon Tree Warrior was still in an excited stage, so he let it roar for a while in the space before calming it down to sleep, stabilizing its newfound power.
“Ghost Dome King, it’s your turn.” Chu Mu said to the Ghost Dome King.
“Growl~~~~~~~”
The Ghost Dome King’s strength is also slowly catching up, especially in the Ancient Wasteland. The Ghost Dome King is the most battle-hardened soul pet besides the Demon Tree Warrior.
The Ghost Dome King’s time at the Seventh Stage Ninth Level hasn’t been long, but the Ghost Dome King is different from Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets. Its innate species rank is Monarch. It’s almost impossible for such a powerful Soul Pet to stay in the Seventh Stage bottleneck for long. So, it should not be a problem to promote it to the Eighth Stage with Spirit Items.
Chu Mu baptized the Ghost Dome King’s soul and purposely meditated for a while to adjust his soul power before starting to strengthen the Ghost Dome King.
The Ghost Dome King’s defense in its normal state has already reached the Eighth Stage Late-stage. After the King Ghost Change Absolute Defense, its defense can reach Level 8 Full Term.
Chu Mu wondered whether the Ghost Dome King’s defense could reach Level 9 after this metamorphosis, when it uses King Ghost Change Absolute Defense.
If it could reach Level 9, Chu Mu wouldn’t be so embarrassed when faced with Level 9 Power skills.
(As the pets’ strength is raised, the plot will unfold soon.
