Chapter 517: Chapter 389: Dark Night, Action (Part 1)

The soul of the giant race was a battle soul, and Chu Mu, under the guidance of Fox Elder, connected this broken battle soul with the soul of the Ghost Dome King.

When the two souls touched, the soul of the Ghost Dome King and the broken soul of the giant race had an obvious soul conflict, as if they were fighting each other.

Chu Mu also knew that this level of soul was on par with the Ghost Dome King, and it was difficult for the Ghost Dome King to completely tame the broken soul of the giant race through his own soul power alone. He forcibly intervened with his own soul, suppressing this stubborn and unyielding special soul.

Chu Mu’s soul was much stronger than the Ghost Dome King and the broken giant soul. As soon as Chu Mu intervened, the broken soul of the giant race gradually changed from being arrogant and unyielding to obeying the orders of the Ghost Dome King, and slowly merged into the soul of the Ghost Dome King.

However, after the soul merged, the body of the Ghost Dome King fell into a very long silence, during which the soul of the Ghost Dome King did not change at all. It seemed as if the soul’s fusion had no effect or meaning.

“Master Li, what’s going on?” Chu Mu waited for a long time and didn’t see the Ghost Dome King entering metamorphosis. He was momentarily puzzled.

“The Ghost Dome King is still absorbing the power of the broken soul. It should take a long time. Let the Ghost Dome King sleep first, and after waking up, he will step into the eighth rank.” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu nodded, asked the Ghost Dome King if he felt any abnormalities in his body or soul, and then let the Ghost Dome King enter sleep.

The Fox Elder said that the Ghost Dome King might sleep for a while, and there was no need to wake it up halfway during this time, because the longer the Ghost Dome King slept, the more its strength might increase.

After the Ghost Dome King slept, Chu Mu also took out the Heart of Horned Armor, ready to strengthen Battle Ye.

Battle Ye was also at the ninth stage of rank seven, and he entered this bottleneck earlier than the Ghost Dome King. According to Chu Mu’s estimate, after using the heart of the horned beast for strengthening, Battle Ye should be able to grow one or two more stages after metamorphosis.

For Chu Mu, strengthening the internal organ crystal was a breeze, and Battle Ye was also a Soul Pet that could withstand the infusion of new energy very well.

Soon, as the energy from the Heart of the Horned Armor slowly spread through Battle Ye’s body, Battle Ye showed no signs of abnormality and even the pain of body transformation was absent, as he entered the metamorphosis stage very smoothly.

Ink-colored armor fell off, even though the original ink armor of Battle Ye already had sharp edges, now the new metallic armor had an even colder luster.

Upon close examination of Zhan Ye’s new Ink Armor, Chu Mu quickly discovered that some odd, deeper-colored demonic armor patterns gradually appeared on Zhan Ye’s Ink Armor. These patterns were relatively faint, only visible when the armor’s cold and sharp luster flickered, revealing their existence.

Chu Mu remembered that similar patterns were on the Linyin Beast’s light armor of the Seven Diagram Sacred Beast. When Ting Lan’s Linyin Beast fought the Wind-binding Spirit, Chu Mu noticed these patterns on it occasionally glowed with a strange luster. After every flicker, the Linyin Beast’s power seemed to increase greatly.

“Young Master, this is the Ancestral Mark of the Horned Armored Beast.” Fox Elder immediately explained.

“What is the Ancestral Mark?” Chu Mu asked.

“It refers to the similar racial abilities possessed by soul pets with a common ancestor. Generally, only soul pets like the Linyin Beast, a Medium Grade Monarch, possess this kind of racial ability. Your Zhan Ye being able to comprehend it means its combat power is slowly approaching that of an Intermediate Monarch.” Fox Elder said.

A delighted expression appeared on Chu Mu’s face; this meant that Zhan Ye’s Combat Power Level had increased once more!

“The effect of this demonic armor pattern can be determined by the vividness of the pattern. In my opinion, this pattern can increase Zhan Ye’s attack and defense by 20%. The defense power will likely increase by 30%. Now that it has metamorphosed to the Eighth Rank Second Stage, its attack without soul equipment and demonic armor pattern would be at the Level 8 Intermediate. With the effect of a Level 6 Soul Claw and the demonic armor pattern, its attack power can be increased to Level 8 Late Stage. Zhan Ye’s defense power is at Level 8 Early Stage, and with the effect of Level 7 Soul Equipment and the demonic armor pattern, it can also be increased to Level 8 Late Stage.” Fox Elder said.

Now at the Eighth Rank Second Stage, Zhan Ye’s Courageous Sting’s Heart effect allowed its rank to continually increase. It would have no problem reaching the Eighth Rank Advanced Stage after a battle. By then, its strength would not be inferior to Mo Ye and the White Nightmare Demon!

“The average strength of the soul pets of Second-tier experts is at the Eighth Rank Monarch. It’s now completely within your grasp to join the Second-tier, Young Master. However, to claim the Final Glory of the Second-tier, there is still a slight gap. In the remaining half a year, you must continue to work hard to try to get at least a few of your soul pets to the Ninth Rank. With that, your chances of success will be even greater… Of course, the likelihood of this happening is not very high. There is a significant difficulty in crossing from the Eighth Rank to the Ninth Rank. The majority of the Second-tier experts’ Monarch soul pets stay at the Eighth Rank Ninth Stage.” Fox Elder said.

“It seems that Ting Lan already has two Ninth Rank Monarch-level Soul Pets.” Chu Mu said.

With half a year left, Chu Mu felt that he should delve deeper into the situation of the Second-tier so he could have a clear understanding of his position.

“She’s indeed a strong contender for the Second-tier’s Final Glory. There are probably fewer than five people like her in Soul Hall. By extension, the number of experts at this level among the major powers is about the same – Soul Covenant, Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Pet Palace. Other powers such as the Business Association, Elemental Gate, Hunting Association, Spirit Sect, Luo region Gate, and various Earth Realm territories, may have at most one or two people in the Second-tier with Ninth Rank Monarch Soul Pets. So, Young Master, if you can reach this level, you’ll at least be in the running for the final glory. If you can’t reach it, it’s better to choose other rewards.” Fox Elder said.

If the peak experts of the Second-tier all have Ninth Rank Monarchs, Chu Mu must have at least one soul pet with its strength increased to Ninth Rank. He believed that the most likely candidates for this were Mo Ye and the Night Thunder Dream Beast. In the next half a year, Chu Mu decided to focus on these two soul pets and strive to have one of them reach the Ninth Rank!

…

After strengthening his soul pets three times in a row, Chu Mu’s own Soul Power had also been greatly consumed. Feeling a bit tired, Chu Mu closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

In the following two or three days, Chu Mu intentionally went to the individual training grounds in the Soul Hall, allowing his soul pets to exercise and practice their new skills to perfection.

During these two or three days, Chu Mu was also busy learning soul techniques.

Learning seventh-level soul techniques isn’t difficult. Given Chu Mu’s current Soul Sense, he estimated that he could master this seventh-level soul technique in just a few days.

As for the eighth-level soul technique, Rhino Pupil, Chu Mu would need a relatively longer time. Abnormal soul techniques are among the hardest to learn and are closely related to a Soul Pet Master’s personal talent. Many Soul Pet Masters may find it extremely difficult to learn a fourth-level abnormal soul technique even if they have reached the Soul Lord level.

What makes Chu Mu unique is that he currently controls a soul pet with a different attribute, which makes controlling abnormal soul techniques much easier compared to ordinary soul pets. Chu Mu estimated that he would definitely master this soul technique within a month.

…

“They are going to make a move!” Shang Heng appeared in the training ground Chu Mu was in and said to Chu Mu.

Two other people followed Shang Heng, both of whom Chu Mu had not seen before, but seemed to be the top young experts in the Soul Hall.

“Yeah, when?” Chu Mu asked, recalling his own soul pets, as he knew a showdown with Shen Yicheng was imminent.

“Tonight, Jiang Zhi’s news will arrive very soon,” said Shang Heng.

Chu Mu nodded, glanced at the two men, and said, “Please introduce these two.”

Shang Heng pointed to the thin man on his left and introduced, “This is Zhan Hong, the youngest Eighth-Level Soul Official in our Soul Hall, a member of the second-tier powerhouse and the Eighth Young Master’s team.”

The youth called Zhan Hong coldly nodded at Chu Mu and said nothing more.

From this youth’s gaze, Chu Mu could feel that he didn’t seem to think highly of himself.

As Chu Mu was a seventh-level title holder and noticeably younger than them, he was naturally classified as a third-tier character. Zhan Hong was also secretly surprised why a third-tier person would be put in charge of them.

“This is Zhao Cheng, the strongest second-tier youth from the Blue Realm, and also a Seventh-Level Soul Title Holder in our Soul Hall,” Shang Heng pointed to another youth in a gray short coat.

Zhao Cheng smiled amiably, revealing a row of white teeth on his slightly dark face. He appeared easygoing and honest, without the temperament of an expert, which was a stark contrast to Zhan Hong.

Chu Mu didn’t know what the Blue Realm was, but excelling in a vast Earth Realm would undoubtedly make one exceptional.

“Have you figured out how many of them are there?” Chu Mu asked.

“There should be only four of them – Shen Yicheng, Jiang Zhi, Feng Kun, and one other person we don’t know,” replied Shang Heng.

“I can handle one without a problem, but don’t you think more people on our side would make things easier?” The indifferent Zhan Hong spoke up.

“The mission this time is not to kill all four of them but to disrupt their plans. Having more people is not convenient for anything and can easily be seized as a handle by other forces. Four people are just right,” Chu Mu said.

Shang Heng immediately nodded in agreement. The reason why he didn’t gather too many people was due to this consideration. Once a fight broke out, an equal number of youth conflicts wouldn’t count who is right or wrong anymore.

“Then we gather at Moon Bridge at sunset. We’ll discuss how to respond when the time comes. For now, let’s disperse,” Chu Mu said.

“Hmm.” Zhan Hong and Zhao Cheng both agreed, then turned and left the training field.
