Chapter 580: Chapter 451: Devil’s Guardian, No One is Spared (4)
The entire arena was deathly silent, the awe-inspiring wind type skills had dissipated long ago, but the thousands of people seemed as if they had been petrified. Even after a long time passed, they were still staring blankly ahead.
It wasn’t until the game organizers’ guards brought over their soul pets and treated the heavily injured He Qing and his soul pets that the crowd managed to recover from their shock.
Under this kind of circumstance, few people were able to keep calm. When the name of the second competitor was called out several times, no one responded because the competitors themselves didn’t want to believe that they were about to face a guardian with such frightening strength.
“Call out once more. If no one answers, they will be considered to have given up!” Miss Shan didn’t show any rapport, she coldly addressed everyone.
In the end, the second competitor didn’t answer, it was clear that the person had lost his nerves to compete!
Not only did the second competitor give up, the subsequent competitors also gave up one after another!
For them, the level of difficulty in this trial was hundreds of times more difficult than the previous ones. Any soul pet masters with a bit of sense wouldn’t want to invite trouble for themselves!
“Chu Chen of the Soul Hall has become so strong. He might just take the final glory of the second tier. Facing such a formidable person who has won the final glory of the second-tier, how can we proceed!” Voices of resentment and astonishment quickly mingled together.
“Yeah, yeah, the other trials definitely aren’t this difficult. It’s too unfair. And Chu Chen of the Soul Hall is indeed too strong!” Many agreed.
“Hmph, laughable. Gaining the highest honor in the first three trials is worth nothing to true strong ones. If you had participated in the last World Decree, you would know that those who managed to gain the highest honor in the first three trials often disappear after the fifth and sixth trials. This has become a custom in the World Decree competition, because those strong ones from the major powers wouldn’t reveal their strength in public before the World Decree!” A man with crossed arms in the crowd sneered coldly before he slowly strode and made his way towards the city gate below the city tower.
This man seemed to have known his sequence for crossing realms. As he arrived at the city tower, Miss Shan called out his name.
“First tier, Wei Xing of the Elemental Sect!” Miss Shan’s gaze was locked onto this man as she continued, “Your minimum difficulty choice is to face a quadruple-controlled guardian in the first checkpoint, a triple-controlled guardian in the second checkpoint, and a double-controlled guardian in the third checkpoint.”
“Let it be this difficulty then. I’ll save some energy for the preparation of the fifth realm. Of course, I hope that third tier kid doesn’t break the rules and waste too much of my energy. If so, I’ll have no choice but to get him eliminated early in the fourth realm.” Wei Xing went on and walked ahead after speaking.
Everyone had heard Miss Shan’s reading, they were sure that this man was an acclaimed elemental soul pet master from the Elemental Sect, and he was a member of the first tier!
The ordinary experts in the third tier were xompletely no match for Chu Chen. Now, it seemed that only those in the first tier could actually suppress this deviant young man!
Wei Xing was not fond of lingering, after all, there was a considerable distance from the city wall to Mirror Sword Mountain. He recited a spell and directly summoned a creature that glowed with a unique luster under sunlight, and its whole body was as smooth as porcelain. He then jumped onto the back of the soul pet and hastened towards Mirror Sword Mountain.
“It seems we can only hope for more strong ones from the first tier and peak strong ones from the second tier. Only then might there be a chance for us to be let off at the end.” Some still had a faint hope.
“It’s still impossible. According to the usual practice, the first checkpoint usually lets the first-tier and second-tier participants pass. Chu Chen should strive for that highest reward, so I think he will let the first-tier pass. However, he will definitely stop the second and third tiers. Without hidden strong ones as Wei Xing mentioned, all of us, except those in the first tier, are very likely to be completely wiped out!”
People’s faces had already turned ugly when Chu Mu’s soul pet wiped out the four main pets of He Qing with a single skill. Now, after hearing the analysis, everyone in the second and third tier felt even more devastated. They were just standing here with a stiff upper lip, uncertain whether to go or stay…..
…
On the desolate Mirror Sword Mountain, a soul pet which was shining with a unique glow under the sunlight was rushing towards the extremely ominous Netherworld Gate.
When the soul pet arrived at the Netherworld Gate, Wei Xing of the first tier looked up, his gaze fixed on the young man standing hundreds of meters high on a stalactite, a contemptuous smile hooking up at the corner of his mouth.
“Chu Chen of the Soul Hall, I know you have been on the Glory Board of the first tier, and your strength is absolutely unbeatable among the third tier. Moreover, in the second tier, you’re also an influential figure. However, don’t feel that this is enough. In previous competitions, there have been countless ambitious geniuses like you. They crossed tiers to challenge, they stood out from the crowd. However, in the end, they were still trampled under the feet of numerous strong ones…..” Wei Xing was gazing at Chu Mu, speaking to him through soul sense.
“What are you saying this for?” Chu Mu looked down from high above. He could clearly see the man’s appearance, and also knew that he was a strong one from the first tier.
The age gap between the third tier and the first tier is usually five years apart. Within this five years gap, some well-nurtured soul pet masters could even raise quite a few tenth ranked soul pets, so such age difference determines the enormous gap in strength. This is why the World Decree game organizers distinguish between tiers and challenges’ difficulties.
“Just a piece of advice from someone who participated in the World Decree. Alright, summon your four soul pets. I don’t want to waste too much time here.” Said Wei Xing.
After speaking, Wei Xing also started chanting a spell himself and summoned his own soul pets.
Two soul contract patterns slowly appeared beside Wei Xing. He could noticeably feel a special elemental power surging around, forming a sort of aura enveloping Wei Xing. This caused the somewhat desolate ground beneath his feet to subtly sink a bit.
Two sub-pets were quickly summoned by Wei Xing, both from the Elemental World. After summoning them, Wei Xing retreated skillfully, beginning to arrange his combat formation.
Facing a first-tier member, Chu Mu could summon at will. However, Chu Mu didn’t immediately summon his other soul pets, but instead commanded his Wind-binding Spirit through Soul Sense.
The Wind-binding Spirit, as nimble as a Demon Spirit in the chaotic darkness of the wind, fluttered out lightly. Unknowingly, under the force of the wind, it approached Wei Xing’s three soul pets.
Wind Invisibility!
Ability to hide within the wind was the racial skill of Wind-binding Spirit. Originally, Wind Invisibility was only usable at Wind Invisibility Points as a place of refuge for the Wind-binding Spirit.
However, upon reaching the ninth rank, the Wind-binding Spirit gained a higher control over the wind and was now capable of hiding its body within it. Without unleashing any attack skills, it was practically equal to the surprise attack abilities usually demonstrated by the Demon Spirits!
“Ready to let me pass? Looks like you’re not that stubborn. Good that you can comprehend the brutality of The World Decree, after all there’s a difference between the first and third tier…” Wei Xing saw that Chu Mu had not summoned his soul pets, revealing a smile.
In reality, it was a worthy moment of pride for a first-tier member like Wei Xing. If Soul Hall Chu Chen, who the second and third-tiers greatly feared, let him pass directly, it meant that the bizarre rumors of the youth were somewhat dreaded by him.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
The chilling chaotic wind suddenly rang in Wei Xing’s ear and the smile froze on his face!
“Damn it! How unforgivable! Don’t blame me for not being polite now!” Wei Xing cursed and immediately commanded his Soul Pet to unleash its skill!
Wei Xing wasn’t just an ordinary contestant, his Soul Sense quickly locked onto the Wind-binding Spirit which had quietly infiltrated his Soul Pet formation. He immediately commanded the soul pet to lock onto the Wind-binding Spirit, not allowing it to chant spells!
“Zhi~~~~~~~~~~”
The faint Yin Sha wind from the Netherworld Gate made the most excellent backdrop for the Wind-binding Spirit to hide. When the three Elemental Soul Pets simultaneously launched an attack at the Wind-binding Spirit, its body rapidly disappeared into a pre-selected Hidden Wind Point.
“Boom, boom, boom!!!!!”
The three skills exploded simultaneously at the Wind-binding Spirit’s location. A vast blast force immediately caused the space in this area to tremble!
“Do you think you’re cleverly hidden enough? Laughable, I have been in control of Soul Pets for six full years more than you, your tricks are ridiculous!” Wei Xing mocked.
Chu Mu was indifferent to Wei Xing’s scorn. He calmly issued a command to the Wind-binding Spirit, instructing it to unleash its skill from the Wind Invisibility Point!
In just one second, the Wind-binding Spirit could generate a Wind skill of up to ninth level. Within the Wind Invisibility Point, it could hide for two seconds. These two seconds were enough for the Wind-binding Spirit to brew up a spell!!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!!”
As the power of the three Elemental soul pets faded, centered around the Wind-binding Spirit, streams of black chaos wind currents suddenly sprang up within a radius of fifty meters!!
These currents rotated rapidly, quickly forming an upside-down black Ramie hat on the wide open land and annihilating everything within a fifty-meter radius!!
“It’s… it’s another ninth level skill!!”
Onlookers from afar were once again dumbfounded!
Within the power of the wind, the color drained from Wei Xing’s face. He couldn’t comprehend how the opponent’s Wind Soul Pet could still launch a ninth level power attack even while under the attack from his three soul pets. Could it possible not needing to chant spells at all?
It was absolutely impossible not to chant spells, only a Monarch, at the tenth rank, could do that!
