âThis is no fun. Once your Moonlight Fox uses Charm and Affliction, my Soul Pet has no desire to fight. Even if itâs a level higher than yours, itâs to no avail.â Ting Yu growled as she returned her Soul Pet into its own space.
Ting Yuâs Soul Pet was a âThorny Precious Flower Demonâ; it belonged to the Botanical Kingdom- flower type- rose species, and it was a High Rank.
Within the island, Thorny Precious Flower Demons were the ninth highest ranked Soul Pets and their strength reached the seventh stage. Formerly, Ting Yu had remained discrete, and it wasnât until recently when her Soul Pet was discovered by him.
Chu Mu was her roommate and would naturally know before others. However, when he found out that this small and cute girl possessed such a formidable Soul Pet, he was extremely shocked.
âHmph, your Little Mo Xie is a freak. Itâs clearly only at the sixth stage, which is lower than my Flower Demon. Itâs rank is also lower than my Flower Demon and its claws have only just reached the first stage of completion. But my Flower Demon has no way of defeating it!â Ting Yu was somewhat bitter as she glared at Chu Mu.
âHaha, when the contest occurs, itâs best if you donât encounter me.â Chu Mu laughed.
There were only a mere five days left until the decisive battles. After undergoing nearly two months of progress, Chu Mu had also learned Affliction and Charm, these two Beast Spirit abilities.
Affliction was a unique pretense skill of Moonlight Foxes and caused it to adopt a pitiful pretense. This garnered it strong Soul Pet sympathy, weakening the opponentâs fighting spirit.
Charm was a skill that would use a beautiful external appearance to create a facade, confusing the opponentâs state of mind.
(TL: Itâs like pokemon)
These two skills had no attacking properties, but Chu Mu could use them very effectively during battle,and cause extreme danger to the opponentâs life.
There werenât many people willing to provoke Ting Yuâs Thorny Precious Flower Demon, but when Ting Yu fought secretly fought against Chu Mu, she would always lose to him.
âThere are still five days before the decisive battles. There shouldnât be a problem for your Little Mo Xie to obtain the top ten spots.â Ting Yu said.
âMy Soul Pet is perfect for restraining your Thorny Precious Flower Demon. In my opinion, there shouldnât be many people capable of facing your Flower Demon, right?â Chu Mu said.
âThatâs not definitive. Although I havenât fought with those people, according to my knowledge, there should be at least a few people with Soul Pets stronger than my Thorny Precious Flower Demon.â Ting Yu said.
âOh, letâs hurry and finish this battle. Explain to me the othersâ Soul Pets.â Chu Mu said.
âYou only know how to immerse yourself in training and breeding your Soul Pet so you donât know anything about others. Eventually youâll suffer losses because of this.â Ting Yu glared at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu indifferently laughed.
Subsequently, Ting Yu informed Chu Mu of the relatively strong ones:
âTang Xianâs Steel Teeth, eighth stage- High Rank, its species rank is ranked tenth, but its strength is ranked in the top five!â
âGu Fengâs Rock Demon, ninth stage- Middle Rank, its species rank is 20th, and its strength is within the top five!â
âThereâs also Ge Qing who threatened to swallow you alive. Although his Scaled Serpent is only at the seventh stage, itâs extremely ferocious. After fighting others, it seems to not have lost yet.â
âAs for the publicly accepted strongest, it would definitely be Zhou Shengmo. His Soul Pet is a naturally endowed Hunting Wolf, eighth stage- High Rank, it possesses a complete Wolf Claw and complete Wolf Teeth. Even if it hasnât learned any skills, my Thorny Precious Flower Demon cannot defeat it. We should just hope to not encounter this fellow, otherwise weâll be in big troubleâŚâ
Having mentioned Zhou Shengmo, Chu Muâs face darkened. When he was undergoing survival training, this fellow entrapped him and had nearly caused him to lose his life. This enmity would not be forgotten by Chu Mu!
âOf course, there is another person: you. You were able to train an ornamental type Soul Pet into this sort of a level. If you had a High Rank Soul Pet like the rest of them, obtaining a spot in the top three wouldnât be a problem.â Ting Yu said.
Chu Mu still only laughed and didnât bother explaining anymore.
âIâm going to Mao Forest for a walk. Train by yourself.â Chu Mu said.
âHmm, why donât we go together?â Ting Yu said.
âThereâs no need, thereâs a chance Iâll go to a dangerous area.â After speaking, Chu Mu left.
Chu Mu traversed the grass field and walked towards Mao Forest.
Mao Lin was relatively close to the inner island. It could be considered similar to the Bramble Forest and was an area that separated the inner island from the outer island. This place also harbored a few strong Soul Pets.
Last month, Chu Mu brought Little Mo Xie to Mao Forest and found a second level medicine- Gyokuro Pungen.
Dew was the most pure liquid nutrient. When the leaves of plants that absorbed the worldâs essence and dew fell on the same spot, if there was fertile soil, a Gyokuro Pungen would grow.
As a second level medicine, the Gyokuro Pungenâs use was very apparent; it could make a Soul Pet grow faster. Moreover, if one were to blend the Gyokuro Pungen with a second level Heavenly Blue Grass according to a three to two ratio, a third grade medicine compound- Heavenly Blue Gyokuro Pungen- would be created! This would immediately cause a Soul Pet to advance a few stages and was thus a rare good.
There were only five days left until the competition. After the competition, he would either be killed or brought to another island, so Chu Mu had to use these few days to obtain the Gyokuro Pungen.
Last month when Chu Mu saw it, he didnât take it because the Gyokuro Pungenâs appearance would always be accompanied by a Hundred Eyed Palm Soul Pet.
Hundred Eyed Palms were from the Plant World- Flower Type - Hundred Eyed Palm Species- Mid Ranked Soul Pet. The Hundred Eyed Palm accompanying the Gyokuro Pungen was usually about the eighth stage. Most places with a Gyokuro Pungen would have this Soul Pet.
Just after stepping into Mao Forest, Chu Mu smelt an earthen smell. The past few days had seen rainfall, so the atmosphere was particularly fresh, causing one to feel rather fresh and relaxed.
Chu Mu brought Mo Xie and on his shoulder was also the small cyan insect. The small cyan insectâs vigilance was very high so Chu Mu had dodged danger many times because of it.
After walking approximately one kilometer into the forest, Chu Mu heard a few people speaking in the dead quiet forest.
Chu Mu immediately stopped and hid behind a large tree.
Chu Mu normally wouldnât interact with others while moving about on the outer island. After all, Chu Mu didnât belong to a group and it would be very easy to be taken advantage of.
âBrother Zhou, just the three of us should be able to deal with it.â Among them, the hoarse voice of a young man rang out.
âEven without the two of you, my Hunting Wolf should be enough. I let you come just in case something happens.â The male called Brother Zhou said.
âOf course, of course.â Another voice immediately echoed.
Hiding behind the tree, Chu Mu peered through the twigs and looked at the youth walking over from amongst the three. His face turned dark.
The youth called Brother Zhou was Chu Muâs powerful enemy, Zhou Sheng Mo. His body was large, and he also had a high aptitude Hunting Wolf that was foreboding to everyone. As the contest approached, there was no doubt that he would obtain first place.
As for the two youths beside Zhou Sheng Mo, Chu Mu had a vague inkling that one was called Luo Chen and the other was called Ma Zhi. Luo Chenâs strength ranked within the top ten and Ma Zhi was around the middle. Not strong enough to take note of, but not something to ignore.
