Chapter 450: Chapter 325: Killing People in the Past, Hunting on the Side (Part 2)
Translator: 549690339
Luo Peng’s strength was almost unmatched among his peers across several surrounding Earth Realms. Although there may be people of similar strength in World City with numerous major powers, Luo Peng’s uniqueness lies in being able to hunt Monarch-Level creatures with his own strength!
This uniqueness highlighted Luo Peng’s specialness. At least, Ting Lan didn’t think there were many people of the same age in World City capable of achieving this.
However, now someone who had entered a Monarch-level territory alone and captured a Monarch-Level Soul Pet had appeared! This person was around Luo Peng’s age, and what’s crucial was that nobody knew where he came from. He was undoubtedly an astonishing prodigy who suddenly emerged!
“Could he be a disciple of some Elder?”
Ting Lan had already begun to imagine Chu Mu as a disciple of some Elder with an extremely high status in Soul Hall because she felt only Elders could cultivate such outstanding youth.
The battle situation was now very clear. After gaining an absolute advantage earlier, Chu Mu didn’t give his enemy any chance to turn the tables.
With the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s victory over the injured Storm Season Elf, the battle gradually came to an end.
With a black mask on his face, Luo Peng’s emotions were incredibly complex at the moment.
What annoyed him was not that his three soul pets were completely controlled by Chu Mu but that he had reached the Soul Lord level, yet Chu Mu didn’t even give him a chance to summon his fourth soul pet!
The fourth soul pet – as long as he could summon the fourth soul pet, Luo Peng had absolute confidence to turn the situation around immediately!
However, he couldn’t summon it. His opponent didn’t give him a chance to summon his soul pet at all!
Finally, Luo Peng could no longer bear Chu Mu’s mental suppression. As Chuang, seeing his Light Vine about to be injured by the Demon Tree Warrior, he angrily forcefully recited a summoning spell even under Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s pressure!
“Summoning the fourth pet, he has reached the Soul Lord level!”
“Why is he only summoning the fourth pet now?” Some who couldn’t see that Luo Peng was being restricted questioned aloud.
All the soul pets on the battlefield had been strengthened to the Monarch level but were not true Monarch-level Soul Pets. Therefore, everyone believed both parties should be Soul Masters, but they didn’t expect the man in the black mask to have already reached the Soul Lord level!
Chu Mu saw that Luo Peng could no longer bear it, and a sinister smile appeared on his face!
As the spell was recited, a faint white demonic flame gradually appeared on Chu Mu’s palm, and this demonic flame floated eerily between Chu Mu and Luo Peng!
“Whoosh ”
As the Soul Demon Flames burned, Luo Peng himself was in a state of forced summoning. Now he was affected by high-temperature Soul Demon Flames, the intense pain made him cry out in agony!
“Ye, Destructive Light!”
Chu Mu would never give Luo Peng the chance to summon his fourth pet so he decisively commanded, “Night Thunder Dream Beast, use a skill!”
The black energy transformed into destructive dark light. With a high-pitched cry from the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it flew straight towards Luo Peng!
The Centipede-tailed Giant Rock Demon was slow. It only smashed its fist into the ground to form a rock wall in front of Luo Peng as a defense. However, the rock wall was easily destroyed by the dark energy of Destructive Light.
“Bang !!!!!!!!!!”
Luo Peng was blasted away by the energy of Destructive Light, and the whole person kept spinning in the air, flying dozens of meters away…
The Light Vine’s tendrils were extremely long, and as it saw its master being blasted away, it quickly stretched out to protect him before he fell…
“Oh !!!!!!!!!!”
The Demon Tree Warrior had followed Chu Mu for many years and knew very well when to strike hard.
Taking advantage of the Light Vine being distracted, the Demon Tree Warrior took a big stride forward, shortening the distance with the Light Vine. It released four skills simultaneously, suppressing the Light Vine and continuously causing injuries with the Demonic Tree Roots!
“Battle over!”
Suddenly, the main judge’s Soul Sense appeared!
The situation at this point was very obvious. The main judge timely terminated the match and forcefully entered Chu Mu’s spiritual world to stop his actions!
The main judge was a Three-Thoughts Soul Master. He originally thought he could directly command this young generation contestant to stop any instructions to the soul pets. Yet, when he probed with his Soul Sense, he was met with an extremely terrifying soul backlash. This backlash made his soul involuntarily tremble!
“Three-Thoughts Soul Master!” The main judge immediately identified Chu Mu’s strength!
“The opponent’s Soul Pet Master has no self-preservation abilities. please stop the attack!” After a couple of seconds of shock, the main judge sternly shouted at Chu Mu!
Of course, Chu Mu also sensed the main judge’s interference. As for the soul counterattack against the main judge, it was entirely an instinctive reaction and had to do with his body gradually becoming half-demonized.
Chu Mu knew that Luo Peng had no chance of turning things around. After controlling Luo Peng’s Soul Pets, he suppressed the viciousness in his heart and stopped the slaughter of his own Soul Pets.
“The battle is over. Chu Chen of Soul Hall wins and advances to second place!” The main judge announced the results of the match once again!
As soon as this result was announced, there was a collective gasp in the arena, as everyone had just witnessed a twenty-year-old youth winning a spot as runner-up in the competition!
“Impossible… it’s impossible. There must be a problem somewhere… it must be…” The most difficult person to accept this outcome was Teng Hai, who had a numb admiration for Luo Peng.
This unknown newcomer had defeated the Soul Pet Master that he thought was impossible to defeat!
“The competition has limits… the competition has limits… If it were a free match, where any Soul Pet could be replaced, Luo Peng would definitely not lose… he absolutely wouldn’t…” Teng Hai’s expression was more agitated than the actual participants, appearing quite strange.
Noticing the unusual behavior of her younger brother, Ting Lan extended her hand, pressing it against Teng Hai’s palm, and spoke softly, “Every Soul Pet Master will encounter someone stronger than themselves on their path of cultivation. No Soul Pet Master can remain undefeated. Facing this failure, continuing to progress, only then can one have the chance to regain their dignity…”
“But… he is…” Teng Hai’s emotions were far from under control, and he still wanted to vehemently deny the outcome he saw.
“I know who he is.” Ting Lan whispered, and after her words, she deliberately pointed at the man who was slowly rising from the battlefield…
Teng Hai’s mind was full of disbelief, but he didn’t notice that the arena had quietened a bit. The people outside the arena, including Da Kun and others, had their eyes fixed on the battlefield, their faces full of astonishment and shock.
“Isn’t this…”
“Luo Peng… the Hunting Rookie King Luo Peng…”
Luo Peng!!
This name in Dun City represents the peak of the younger generation, and no one would not recognize this Hunting Rookie King.
Yet, now he was standing on the stage of the defeated!
“So he really is the Hunting Rookie King… no wonder his three Soul Pets seemed familiar…”
“Two young experts were competing for second place… and Luo Peng lost…”
For a moment, the noise of discussion exploded. No one had expected such a startling situation in the competition for the runner-up of the annual competition!
Yusui, who also had an unresponsive admiration for Luo Peng, had a pale face now. She would rather believe that the embarrassed man struggling to stand up from the ground was not Luo Peng at all, because in her mind, Luo Peng was a once-in-a-lifetime genius who would never lose to his peers!
The other members of the team were all speechless, only able to stare at the two young peak experts, their hearts uneasy for a long time:
They had been comparing this young man named Chu Chen with Luo Peng of the same age, never expecting that he was actually fighting Luo Peng!
Finally, Luo Peng stood up. He didn’t suffer any severe injuries, but his face was gloomy to the extreme.
Under the gazes of countless people with strange and complex expressions, Luo Peng could only endure the humiliation of a genius’s sudden downfall, recalling his injured Soul Pets to their Soul Pet Space.
At this moment, Luo Peng’s eyes had erupted with a ferocity like a beast, and he looked like a defeated creature that could counterattack at any time!
“So, it’s a youngster…” Chu Mu said indifferently.
Chu Mu used to kill people while hunting, but could Luo Peng’s murderous aura suppress Chu Mu?
The tone of Chu Mu’s words made him sound very uncomfortable to listen to. At least to Luo Peng, it seemed as if this fellow was looking down on him with the eyes of an older person!
Luo Peng knew that this was an official competition, and he had to restrain the resentment in his heart from trampling on the dignity of a strong person. After a few breaths, he finally adjusted his state a bit and said, “Let’s continue the fight with another agreement!”
“We’ll see.” Chu Mu waved his hand and did not accept Luo Peng’s challenge.
“Don’t underestimate me; I haven’t summoned my fourth pet yet!” Luo Peng almost roared.
In fact, Chu Mu knew that he could have lost the battle with Luo Peng if Luo Peng had summoned his fourth pet. In reality, it was precisely because the fourth pet had not been summoned that Luo Peng found it extremely difficult to accept the failure of this battle!
“Master Luo Peng… Although I am reluctant to dampen your spirits at this time, I must tell you that this Chu Chen is a Three-Thoughts Soul Master…” The voice of the main judge slowly entered Luo Peng’s ears.
Luo Peng’s expression changed instantly and became somewhat unbelievable.
Three-Thoughts Soul Master, wasn’t that two whole levels higher than him? Moreover, the other party could also summon a fourth pet!
Chu Mu saw Luo Peng’s face stiffen and didn’t say anything else to him. He recalled his own Soul Pets and slowly walked off the battlefield, leaving the Hunting Rookie King alone on the stage, not knowing what excuse to use to save his dignity.
