Heavy hitting news. In the entire Gangluo City, it had been a long time since a treasure worth 5,000,000 gold had appeared- especially a sixth level soul armor!
Sixth level soul armor had a great meaning. As long as such armor was worn on a soul pet trainer, by adding on a little more defensive ability, the defensive ability would easily reach the seventh level. A seventh level defense could put an end to almost all the attacks from soul pets under the sixth phase commander rank. Even soul pets above the sixth phase commander rank needed to continuously attack to break this defence. Which soul pet trainer wouldnât desire such a supreme protective treasure?
Once such a shocking message spread, almost every family and wealthy merchant immediately went to the auction house to validify the claim. After validating the claim, they all got the same answer: this news was completely real!!
What shocked the powerful people of Gangluo City even more was, other than this incomparably rare sixth level soul armor, the auction house was also selling many young commander rank soul pets, and low quality ones were highly unlikely to appear. Each soul pet was worth over 500,000 gold coins!!
There were many times a high quality commander rank soul pet was the anchor of the show, bringing all the clans and wealthy merchants to fight over it. This time, however, there were plenty of such high quality commander rank soul pets!!
With such a sensationally big event, how could Gangluo Cityâs important people not ask for the identity of the person that was supplying such expensive treasures.
The auction house naturally had to protect this information, and they refused to divulge any information. Of course, the auction house knew that someone who could offer these items wasnât anyone simple, so it was impossible for the managers of the auction house to put themselves in a predicament over a little bribery for the information!
A wave of competition washed through the entirety of Gangluo City. Including many people from factions of other cities, they had all come forth already- all for this astonishing auction house!
Such a luxurious auction, if one wanted to get some treasure, one naturally had to invest a huge sum of money. Especially for the 5,000,000 gold coin sixth level soul armor, if anyone wanted this treasure, every clan had to gather funds from all their industries in different cities, or else 5,000,000 gold wasnât a sum that one could easily get.
Of course, if it were just 5,000,000 gold, a rich family like the Yang Clan might have the capability to pay straight from their pocket Yet, this auction also had many commander rank soul pets of high quality. If those fell into the other clansâ hands, the Yang Clan would definitely feel some threat. The Yang Clan naturally didnât want to show any weakness, so they also had to gather funds from all the different business they owned!
âYoung master, wonât it be dangerous if you do this? If the Yang Clan isnât willing to buy this sixth level soul armor, wouldnât all our plans become fruitless?â Ting Yu was worried.
âCurrently, the Yang Clan has always been the single biggest faction within Gangluo City, so they must have a fortune saved up to buy treasure. This sixth level soul armor, they definitely need it. Of course, this wasnât the main reason. In reality, out of the entire Gangluo City, only the Yang Clan has the power to buy this sixth level soul armorâŠâŠâ Chu Mu said.
The Chu Clan was currently in a recession. Anything past 500,000 gold was beyond their consideration. Chu Mu believed that in this auction, the Chu Clan would definitely gather some money because no matter what, they still had to strengthen their clan. However, it was impossible for them to buy the sixth level soul armor. They couldnât even raise the price, because everyone knew that though Chu Clan could bring out such a sum, it would severely affect the operation of their clan.
Qin Clan
âWhat, donât tell me we have to submissively just give away such treasure?â Qin Chang said, puzzled.
The Qin Clanâs clan head was Qin Chang. In the clan, the majority of things were done his way. Qin Chang knew that the Luo Region Sect was a very large power, and though Qin Menger received a lot of love from her elders, because of her lack of background, she would often get treated wrongly. THus, this time, the Qin Clanâs clan head was prepared to steel his heart and compete for this sixth level soul armor so that Qin Menger could defend herself with it.
Qin Menger was Qin Clanâs biggest hope. As long as she got some sort of position within the Luo Region sect, Yang Clan and Zhou Clan wouldnât dare to even think of touching the Qin Clan, so the entire clan viewed her with importance. If the clan head insisted on buying this sixth level soul armor for her, not many people would oppose it.
âFather, we canât touch this thing. Just listen to me for once, donât even consider the sixth level soul armorâ Qin Menger bit her lips and said.
Not long ago, Chu Mu had already sent Qin Menger a message telling her to persuade her family not to contemplate buying the sixth level soul armor. Though Qin Menger didnât know what Chu Mu wanted to do, from the looks of things, it definitely wasnât something small. It was very likely related to the Nightmare Palace, so Qin Menger didnât want her family to get pulled into the struggle.
Qin Chang looked at his worried daughter and slowly said, âIs it that you heard something from your fellow students in Luo Region SectâŠ?â
Qin Menger was just worrying over being unable to find an excuse, so she immediately nodded.
âIf so, we should quietly tell Chu Clan, in case they fall into it as well.â Qin Chang said.
The Qin Clan and Chu Clan were good friends, so the Qin Clan would always help the Chu Clan from behind the scenes. After all, if the Chu Clan were completely eliminated from Gangluo City, then Zhou and Yang Clans would slowly eat away at the Qin Clan. This principle of interdependence was something Qin Chang understood.
âEn.â Itâs not like Qin Menger could tell him that the Chu Clan knew already, so she just nodded again.
âŠ
âThis sixth level soul armor is a rare opportunity, we must take it!â The Yang Clanâs clan head Yang Kuo said solemnly.
âBut we just lost a sixth level territoryâŠâŠâ The Yang Clanâs many clan members thought that buying this sixth level soul armor was honestly too luxurious.
Yang Luobin stood beside the clan head Yang Kuo, yet he said nothing. The purchase of the sixth level soul armor was undoubtedly for him, the clan heir. As long as he got this sixth level soul armor, then he would stand undefeated in the Recommendation!
The Yang Clan clan head Yang Kuo had clearly decided in his heart already. Such a rare treasure already had a starting price of 3,000,000 gold. If the Yang Clan didnât compete and another clan steeled their heart to buy it, the Yang Clanâs number one ranking would very likely be overthrown. If this thing appeared in any other city for sale, then Yang Kuo wouldnât even consider it. But in Gangluo City, he definitely couldnât let it fall into another clanâs hands!
âAssemble the money and prepare for this auction.â Yang Kuo took all the power, and didnât give any other member a say in it.
After the Yang Clan meeting ended, Yang Shangâs face became gloomy. When everyone left, he muttered, âHis heart hurt when he spent 1,000,000 gold for my Demon Tree heart, yet he is willing to spend 5,000,000 gold to buy a soul armor for that guy, truly hateful!!â
âYang Shang, what are you muttering?â Yang Luobin looked at Yang Shangâs unnatural expression and asked.
Yang Shang naturally couldnât expose his jealous side to Yang Luobin, so he immediately thought of something else, âI was angry about that Chu Clan trash.â
âYou mean Chu Mu?â Yang Luobin had already known about Chu Mu not being dead, and also knew that Chu Mu seemed to be able to summon soul pets now.
Chu Mu lost a soul, so if he reached the spirit soldier rank and had two souls, it was natural for him to be able to summon a soul pet.
âEn, that kid, taking advantage of me being unprepared, made me lose face at the auction. I canât not take revenge for this!â Yang Shang said fiercely.
âI can bully him to death once, so I can bully him to death twice. Even if you donât want to deal with him, I wouldnât let him live long.â Yang Luobin laughed coldly.
âThe Chu Clan is on guard already, wouldnât it be hard to bully him to death?â Yang Shang opened his mouth and asked.
âWouldnât that be easy, just force him to sign up for the Recommendation. Which Chu Clan trash would dare to interfere and protect him in the Recommendation competition?â Yang Luobin started laughing.
âWouldnât that be difficult? Even if they got rid of that dunce, the Chu Clan wouldnât easily let him compete.â Yang Shang said.
âDonât worry, I have a way.â Yang Luobin said.
Chu Clan Courtyard
Chu Mu at the moment didnât care much about the auction, instead putting all his efforts into training his soul pet. After all, the reallocation of money took time. Once Yang Clan mustered enough money, it was Chu Muâs massacre time!!
The effects of the Heavenly Demon Tear was quite obvious. Once Chu Mu gave it to his Night Thunder Dream Beast, it immediately rose a stage, and its following growing speed became noticeably faster as well.
Of course, just using the Heavenly Demon Tear was not enough for the Night Thunder Dream Beast to jump to the sixth phase. It still needed to fight. Without fighting, the Night Thunder Dream Beastâs maturing rate would still be very slow.
âDemon Treeâs Heart, Iâve heard this thing even had a chance to cause wood type soul pets to have a species mutation?â Chu Mu looked through books about the Demon Tree HeartâŠâŠ
Species mutations were very rare, but in this massive world, there were still a few special soul items that could cause species with potentials and talents way past their own species to mutate. However, such special soul items were usually only discovered and couldnât be sought after. They often also only worked on one specific type of soul pet.
Chu Mu grafted the Demon Tree Heart into his Devil Tree Battle Soldier. Without any coincidences, the Devil Tree Battle Soldier wouldnât have any species mutation. After all, the chances were very very low, and Chu Mu couldnât always be lucky.
Though no species mutation happened, this Devil Tree Battle Soldierâs wood type powers overcame a great change. Now, casting a seventh level wood type techniques wasnât an issue. Of course, a wood type soul petâs most important quality was still its life force and its defensive ability.
âIt gave birth to Demon Wood Skin, which had a defense of the seventh rank intermediate stage, and Demon Wood Roots, which improved its attack significantly tooâŠâŠâ Looking at the Demon Wood Skin of his Devil Tree Battle Soldier, a smile floated onto Chu Muâs face.
The Demon Tree Heartâs strengthening caused his Devil Tree Battle Soldier to grow an even stronger weapon and defensive skin layer â Demon Wood!
Demon Wood was similar to Mo Xieâs Demon Fire Evil Flames. It wasnât a speciesâ special power, but as long as one had it, it could directly increase a soul petâs fighting strength!!
Playing on the principle of âstrike while the ironâs hotâ, once the Devil Tree Battle Soldier grew Demon Wood, Chu Mu quickly used his saved sixth level soul crystal and strengthened it.
The Demon Tree Heart was created naturally, and the soul crystal was from a wood type soul pet. These two energies didnât conflict, so the Devil Tree Battle Soldier, without any mishap, grew to sixth phase second stage!!
After 1,000,000 goldâs worth of strengthening, the wood type of the Devil Tree Battle Soldier could contend against many high class commander ranks!
Additionally, with its powerful defense and life force, maybe, by only summoning his Devil Tree Battle Warrior, he could sweep through most opponents in the Recommendation!
