Chapter 582: Chapter 453: Hidden Strong Ones, Luo Region’s Luoyu Gate Jiang Zhi (Part 1)

Even the first-tier strong contenders had been defeated. How could the ordinary second-tier and third-tier participants have the courage to challenge the realms?

More importantly, the guardian in these two battles had defeated all the opponent’s Soul Pets with just one Soul Pet. In the first battle, they only used one skill; in the second one, they used three skills. Would there be any meaning to their battle if the other side summoned more Soul Pets?

Miss Shan on the City Tower read out a long list of names of challengers, but a large number of people indicated that they had given up directly. Hence, for a long time, there was no one daring to continue the challenge.

The World Decree had eliminated a large number of people by the Fourth Realm. This had become a convention for every event. The appearance of a large number of people giving up the challenge is not uncommon.

However, for more than half an hour, she read out hundreds of names, yet no one was willing to challenge. This absolute first-time situation, especially being the first checkpoint of the challenge, was unprecedented.

Of course, everyone knew that Soul Hall Chu Chen, being the first checkpoint of the challenge, was even more frightening than the two later checkpoints. It was estimated that it would be easier to pass the latter two challenges after passing the first one.

…

“I’m going all out! Even if I know I’ll lose, I’ll at least fight once. How can I know the difference in strength between him and me if I don’t confront him directly?”

Finally, a second-tier member plucked up the courage. This challenger was a powerless Wandering Soul Pet Master who had gained some fame in various realms and cities. When he gritted his teeth and headed towards the “Ghost Gate”, the surrounding contestants who had not dared to challenge paid their respects to him.

As the Wandering Soul Pet Master held a commendable courage, he realized the difference in strength would be greater than he had anticipated when he directly confronted Chu Mu. It was like an insurmountable crevice, with the opponent standing at a realm that he could not even guess!

…

“Two skills… it’s just too cruel…” Ye Wansheng stood at a high place, shook his head, and sighed at the courageous participant.

In three battles, not a single person could withstand Chu Mu’s mysterious Wind Element Soul Pet using more than three skills. It was indeed difficult to accept such a fact. Chu Mu, sitting in the Fourth Realm, made countless Soul Pet Masters with a fluke mentality truly realize the height that top-notch experts stood in the World Decree!

As expected, the brave participant was carried away by the guards without any surprises.

It seemed as if inspired by the Wandering Soul Pet Master, the youths who had come all the way realized that such a retreat was a disgrace to them. Therefore, some Soul Pet Masters, who knew they couldn’t make it through the challenge, started to take on the challenge one after another.

Among the third-tier members, most of them couldn’t withstand the Wind-binding Spirit’s two skills. Among the second-tier members, very few could last more than five minutes, and the number of first-tier members wasn’t many. However, even among the first-tier members, none had made it to the 500th number and truly battled Chu Mu’s Wind-binding Spirit for ten minutes.

…

“It’s been a whole afternoon, and no one has called him to summon a second pet… ” The people who stayed here to watch the challenge were so shocked that they had already become somewhat numb. They could only watch as the daring challengers were carried away injured…

“Could it be that Soul Hall Chu Chen really has no opponents among the three tiers?” Such a cruel fact laid before their eyes, the demonic realm guardian did not let anyone pass the whole afternoon. This kind of record had never appeared in the entire World Decree’s realm-guarding round!

…

As the setting sun cast a distant glow, it elongated the entire Netherworld Gate’s shadow. Chu Mu stood on the stalactite hundreds of meters high. At this time, another cold period had appeared, and he quietly waited for a new challenger to appear on this land.

No one truly held their own against Chu Mu for a whole afternoon, but Chu Mu was not complacent about it.

There were still tens of thousands of participants in the Fourth Realm of the World Decree. Among the diverse Soul Pet Masters, the number of real experts was ultimately very small compared to the huge base of Soul Pet Masters. However, their small number did not mean they didn’t exist. Chu Mu was confident that some experts would definitely appear during his realm guarding round. These experts were the ones who could genuinely make Chu Mu fight heartily!

As nightfall began to descend, nearly 500 contestants, regardless of their tier, were not allowed to pass by the realm guardian Chu Mu in the first challenge.

“Seriously, at least let one or two people go for us. It’s been a whole afternoon, just watching them here,” complained the second-round realm guardian, Soul Pet Palace – Wang Ke, full of boredom.

Zhang Ting San, the third-round realm guardian from Soul Hall, was also leaning against the wall of the City Tower for an entire afternoon. If someone had given him a blanket, he probably could have fallen asleep there.

Of course, while they were dozing off, when they witnessed the domineering strength of the Soul Hall’s Chu Chen sweeping across all three tiers, the two of them couldn’t help but feel some admiration for the young man. They, too, were curious if Chu Mu could truly not let a single person pass.

“Challenger, second-tier, Luoyu Gate’s Jiang Zhi!” Miss Shan slowly uttered this name.

Finally, a name with a shocking effect appeared!

As she read out this name, Miss Shan’s mouth curled up slightly. Jiang Zhi of the Luoyu Gate was definitely a prominent figure in the second-tier of World City, and was also a symbol of strength in the Luoyu Gate’s second-tier. Having eliminated nearly 500 contestants, a strong competitor who might be capable of contending with him finally appeared. Miss Shan was curious if Soul Hall’s Chu Chen could still calmly defeat him.

“It’s the strongest of the second-tier, Jiang Zhi!!!”

“That’s the strongest youth of Luoyu Gate who has no opponents in several Earth Realms in the west, right? He’s also the one who achieved the highest honor in the third realm!”

As soon as Jiang Zhi’s name was announced, the crowd immediately boiled over!

Jiang Zhi’s reputation preceded Chu Mu’s by a long shot, and he was considered an established young expert who had been well-known in the World City for a long time. He was even called the chief member of Luoyu Gate’s second-tier. Such an exceptionally strong young seed player has a chance to enter the eighth and ninth realm.

It was heard that in order for Jiang Zhi to gain a ranking position, Luoyu Gate had eliminated many team members, escorting Jiang Zhi to succeed in challenging the realms with Jiang Zhi at the helm.

From the beginning, Jiang Zhi had stayed away from the crowd and was sitting high above on a roof ridge. When Miss Shan read out his name, those eyes that contained traces of green slowly emitted a luster, and a mocking smile gradually appeared on his face.

Real powerhouses never mingle with ordinary participating members. In the eyes of thousands of people, Chu Mu’s strength seemed unattainable, but for a truly top-notch powerhouse like Jiang Zhi from the second tier, Chu Mu had merely bullied some completely low-ranking players. That’s because the moment someone like him appeared among those 500 people, if Chu Mu failed to yield, he would inevitably suffer a tragic defeat!

“Brother Jiang Zhi, at last it’s your turn. You must teach Chu Chen a lesson and put an end to his arrogance,” Luoyu Gate’s Du Chang smiled triumphantly on the main road.

From the reactions of the people, it was evident that Jiang Zhi belonged to a group of powerhouses that ordinary people could never come into contact with on normal days. Such figures usually stood at the top of the young elite of major powers, while those who didn’t even have the courage to challenge the realms could only gaze at his status and position from a distance, admiring his extraordinary strength.

Now, such a highly admired powerhouse had finally appeared!

Jiang Zhi seemed to be already used to being stared at by thousands of people. He naturally chanted a spell and directly summoned his winged soul pet. Nimbly jumping onto his soul pet’s back, he raised a strong gust of wind and roared towards the location of the Netherworld Gate!

“This devilish Guardian of the Realm is finally going to be terminated!”

“Jiang Zhi should be considered a youth among the strongest ranks of the second-tier, so Chu Chen will probably have to let him pass.”

In the eyes of the people, the strength Soul Hall’s Chu Chen has shown so far could only be subdued by someone on the strongest ranking list of the second-tier. The upcoming battle would no longer be as one-sided as before, but a truly fierce showdown between the strongest of the second-tier!

…

Chu Mu looked indifferent as he watched Luo Yu Gate’s Jiang Zhi ride his winged soul pet flying towards him.

Although Jiang Zhi was Shen Yicheng’s lackey, his strength was indeed formidable, and he was the undisputed strongest of Luoyu Gate’s second-tier. Such a youth, who definitely possessed a ninth-rank Intermediate Monarch, would not be able to win as easily as Chu Mu had before.

The winged soul pet, with two pairs of yellow-feathered wings, flew to the same height as Chu Mu. Jiang Zhi stood on top of his winged soul pet, keeping his gaze level with Chu Mu’s.

“I have heard of your great name, Soul Hall’s Chu Chen. Maybe if I hadn’t been avoiding getting involved in Shen Yicheng’s affairs, we should have confronted each other before.” Jiang Zhi looked at Chu Mu with a calm expression, continuing in a soothing tone, “Initially, like others, I also thought that you were just a third-tier youngster who likes to be the center of attention. Now it seems that you have hidden your strength. But it’s also better this way; otherwise, challenging the realms would be rather dull.”

Hearing Jiang Zhi’s words, Chu Mu was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Jiang Zhi was not part of the same group as Shen Yicheng.

The information Chu Mu received was that Jiang Zhi was just a subordinate of Shen Yicheng and should not have been considered a threat to him. But now, Chu Mu had an inkling that Jiang Zhi might not be as simple as he had thought. From his gaze and aura, Chu Mu could feel some pressure!
