Chapter 442: Chapter 317: Young Generation VS Middle-aged Generation
Translator: 549690339
“Sister, is he the one who captured a Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird youngster?” a teenager slowly walked over and sat next to a mature and charming woman.
“Yes.” The woman smiled and nodded. She was dressed splendidly, accompanied by several young girls who looked like maids surrounding her, making her appear more modest, elegant, and noble in comparison.
It could be assumed that many men, upon seeing this woman, wouldn’t pay too much attention to her appearance, but be drawn by her calm and serene demeanor instead.
“Let me take a look at his information.” The teenager seemed to have some privileges, letting a servant go to inquire.
The servant returned quickly, and began to speak, “Young Master, this man’s name is Chu Chen. He’s part of Soul Hall, with a rank of zero, and he hasn’t taken up any position.”
“Rank zero?” The teenager showed a trace of confusion.
In Soul Hall, rank zero generally refers to the lowest level members or those who do menial jobs. These members hardly have any privileges and can only be considered nominal members of Soul Hall, serving Soul Hall is their only duty.
Generally, every Soul Pet Master who enters the Soul Hall will do their best to attain a rank one title, after all, even if it takes several years of preparation, it should not be a problem for them.
“He could be a new member of the Soul Hall, or perhaps someone’s descendant, who doesn’t care much about their rank,” the woman suggested.
“Or it could be someone else operating through him,” the teenager thought rebelliously, seemingly unwilling to believe that a boy of about twenty, like Chu Mu, could capture a Monarch level Soul Pet.
The woman might have considered this point too, but she clearly didn’t like to randomly doubt other people’s strengths.
In fact, she would soon know whether this man had obtained this low-grade monarch level Soul Pet by himself, as his battle was about to begin.
The preliminary arena was a very standard venue, simply a large open space, surrounded by a protection net.
Chu Mu’s opponent stood about twenty meters away from him. In this kind of competition, there were no privileges; no matter how powerful a person was, they had to participate in every match, and if they were unlucky, even a seasonal expert could be defeated in the first round.
Of course, the organizers would consider this and naturally separate some known potential experts to avoid a fight between two great experts in the early stages of the competition.
Chu Mu was not among the organizers’ known experts, and his grouping was random. It could be expected that there must be some expert in this group, maybe in the first round, maybe the fourth…
Chu Mu’s opponent was a man in his thirties, with a very common face, dressed as a typical Soul Pet Master.
When this Soul Pet Master saw Chu Mu, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and even without him saying anything, one could guess that he was thinking, “I’m lucky”.
Given that this event was age-blind, the youth generation would naturally be at a disadvantage. So young people often don’t participate in such competitions. Even if they do, they are simply there to train themselves, and don’t plan to compete for rankings.
The youth generation members were already a minority in this competition, and to encounter another person of the youth generation, around twenty years old, in the first round was indeed extremely fortunate.
“Summon Soul Pets,” the chief judge bellowed with soul sense.
“Summon Soul Pets,” the assistant judges standing on both sides of the battlefield repeated.
Official matches require both sides to summon a Soul Pet at the same time to make the issue of attribute counteracting a question of chance.
Chu Mu and his opponent both began chanting their summoning spells, the Soul Contract Halos slowly forming two Soul Pet patterns, calling the Soul Pets connected to their souls.
Without the chief judge signalling the start of the battle, neither side was allowed to attack, so there was no need to compete in summoning speed when calling forth the first Soul Pet. Both sides leisurely summoned their Soul Pets.
Chu Mu was now participating in the battle as Chu Chen, so White Nightmare Demon and Mo Ye could not participate.
With the promotions of Chu Mu’s many Soul Pets, there was no need for Mo Ye or the White Nightmare Demon to participate in every battle. As long as he controlled it properly, his other Soul Pets could perform better.
Chu Mu’s first summoned Soul Pet was the Night Thunder Dream Beast with extreme speed!
A dark aura slowly permeated into the right half of this arena, overshadowing the symbolic shadow of the buildings in this half of the arena, letting the Night Thunder Dream Beast stand quietly in the shadows. Only the white line of feathers that smoothly flowed from its back to tail revealed its existence.
“Sister, what Soul Pet is that?” With a lower soul sense, the teenager couldn’t see through the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s shadow form and asked with some surprise.
“The Dream Beast, it’s a Dream Beast with a Dark Attribute.” The woman said in a steady tone.
Many demon spirits have a certain ability to hide and disguise. Now that Chu Mu’s Demon Spirit is standing in the shadows, those with less perceptive abilities could only roughly judge its stage. It would be somewhat difficult to determine its combat power level from its restrained aura.
Of course, the Night Thunder Dream Beast itself is a high-level commander. As long as you know the name, you can guess that the combat power level of this soul pet could not be poor.
“Oh, I remember now, the day before yesterday when I was returning to the city, there was a guy driving a black Dream Beast who arrogantly surpassed my group of Starfield Devil Steeds. So it was him!” The teenager said.
“Was it fast?” The woman asked.
“It was fast indeed, but it looks like it didn’t reach the eighth stage. The guy over there summoned an eighth-stage Evil Flame Demon, it has the advantage both in attributes and stage.” The teenager quickly figured out the strength of the Evil Flame Demon that did not disguise its power.
“Eighth stage, fifth level. It seems to have undergone some strengthening.” The woman judged more accurately.
“There’s no chance of winning. I told you, he’s not much older than me, participating in this kind of competition is just asking for trouble…” The teenager sighed.
“Practicing might not be a bad thing, relative to the young generation, his Night Thunder Dream Beast is already very strong.” The woman replied conservatively. Of course, this conservative speech also revealed another meaning.
With an eighth stage, fifth level- Low-level Commander Evil Flame Demon, Chu Mu had to frown at the beginning of the match. To a certain extent, the Dark Attribute is suppressed by the Fire Attribute. If the Night Thunder Dream Beast is attacked by the opponent’s Fire Skills, the damage will be significantly more severe.
“Begin!!”
Seeing that neither side intended to summon a second Soul Pet, the main judge confirmed that both were ready and announced the start of the match!
“Knowing that his attribute is being suppressed and not summoning a second pet to make up for it, young people are really stubborn!” Jia Yingcheng laughed and gave orders to his Evil Flame Demon at the first opportunity.
Two elegant flames, like crimson long satin ribbons, spiraled and intertwined, stirring up rolling flames rolling towards Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast.
The release of the skills of the eighth stage, fifth level Evil Flame Demon almost reached the level eight. This gorgeous flame did not appear to be very powerful but had a characteristic of persistent pursuit. If there was no effective skill to resolve it, then these two satin-like flames would continue to dance around the opponent, scorching the opponent’s body with their fire.
“Satin Double Flames…” Right off the bat, Chu Mu encountered a skill he found hard to counter. True enough, dealing with a middle-aged Soul Pet Master wasn’t going to be a walk in the park as evidenced from the onset of the battle.
The Satin Double Flames had started to drift over, lighting up the shadow where the Night Thunder Dream Beast stood, effectively stripping it of its camouflage. Faced with the delicate, fluttering Satin Double Flames that ceaselessly pursued him, the Night Thunder Dream Beast had no choice but to maneuver and dodge.
Just like two serpents of fire wriggling through the air, the Satin Double Flames moved slowly. However, they were continuously trailing behind the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Given the evasion capability and speed of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, the flaming tendrils should not have been able to land a hit. Perversely, these Satin Double Flames could persist for an extended period, meaning the Night Thunder Dream Beast was likely to be hindered by this skill in the later stages of the battle.
“It seems I can reserve quite a bit of my combat power,” remarked Jia Yingcheng with a smirk as he continued issuing commands to his Soul Pet.
The Evil Flame Demon’s eyes slowly ignited with the Demon Fire Evil Flame. The ominous energy was starting to spread, causing the air to grow slightly hot.
As a pet of the Elemental World, the Evil Flame Demon’s Demon Fire Evil Flame was arguably more potent than Mo Ye’s. If the high-temperature skill were to hit the Night Thunder Dream Beast, the latter, whose defenses were low, would inevitably suffer heavy damage.
At this moment, all Chu Mu could do was command the Night Thunder Dream Beast to continuously dodge the attacks from the Evil Flame Demon while seeking a window of opportunity to defeat it.
“Even though it’s defensively evading, its ability to dodge is still impressive. If it were my Soul Pets, even their cumulative effort might fail to lay a finger on this Night Thunder Dream Beast…” commented a teenager.
“Hmm.” The girl didn’t say much in response. Her gentle, lustrous eyes were fixated on Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast. She observed keenly, her expression occasionally shifting into a thoughtful gaze.
“Still, victory seems hard to come by,” commented the teenager, making his own judgement.
Still, the girl didn’t speak. In fact, right before, she shared the same thoughts as the teenager, thinking it would be a significant challenge for the man, Chu Mu, to secure a win.
However, as she increasingly noticed that the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s dodging movements always seemed “prepared”, she had a hunch that its tactic was not as simple as merely defensive evasion…
