Chapter 470: 344: The Strongest in the Second Tier, Lu Shan Li

The ‘Officer Lu’ these people talk about is likely a member of the young generation, able to enter this Eighth-level Mysterious Realm and hunt creatures close to the tenth rank. Obviously, he must be an extremely powerful figure among the younger generation.

After the speed of the Night Thunder Dream Beast was gradually increased, it was able to follow these people leisurely. Chu Mu was not in a hurry, he slowly trailed behind them, letting them lead him to that chaotic flow area.

When he passed the open area that the Demon Palace member had mentioned earlier, Chu Mu did not follow any further. After all, there was no shelter there, and Chu Mu worried that his tracks might be discovered by them.

All of these people were experts, presumably, there should be soul master-level experts among them. Especially their soul pets, they must have reached the level of the eighth rank Monarch or the ninth rank commander. Chu Mu had a certain degree of difficulty in fighting any of them now, let alone what seemed to be an even stronger leader among these people.

“Officer Lu!” The three members of the Demon Palace respectfully addressed a man dressed in black clothes.

The man in black clothes rode a wind demon horse like theirs, but his wind demon steed was surrounded by a stream of black air flow. This dark air flow made the blue-black creature seem even more eerie. Even standing still, one could imagine how horrifying its speed would be when it began to run!

“Advanced stage of rank eight Wind Demon Horse!” Chu Mu was secretly shocked from afar. This wind demon horse was a whole rank higher than the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and the black cyclone that hovered around it was unmistakably the third-level wind crystal- Chaos Wind!

The wind demon horse is a demon spirit creature. Besides possessing speed and endurance that surpass all demon spirit races, its mental strength is also strong. With the addition of the wind attribute, if trained well, its combat power will not be inferior to other demon spirit races!

“Both attributes are dominant and have reached the level of quasi-monarchs. The combat power of this demon horse should be comparable to a low-grade monarch!” Fox Elder’s voice slowly emitted.

With its combat power, a low-grade monarch of the advanced stage of rank eight could even be stronger than the rank nine medium grade horror wolf that he had encountered earlier. This demon horse was so strong as a mount soul pet, Chu Mu was horrified.

“In the Nightmare demon palace’s young generation with surname Lu, there should only be one person with this strength.” The Fox elder seemed to have identified the identity of the youth.

“Who is it?” Chu Mu asked immediately.

The strongest soul pet of the Nightmare Demon Palace was definitely the nightmare demon. If the strength of only one soul pet could reach such a level, the other soul pets should be even stronger. This man definitely represented the extremely powerful existence of the second tier and might even have already stepped into the first tier.

“Nightmare Demon Palace – Lu Shanli.” Fox Elder said.

“Lu Shanli! The super-strong man who holds all the seventh level titles among the young generation?” Chu Mu’s face showed surprise.

Chu Mu remembers that when he first arrived at the Nightmare Demon Palace, there was a man who held the eighth-level title and was almost on par with Princess Jinrou. At that time, everyone had to show some reverence to this young generation member, and rumors abound that he represented the peak of the young generation, and many even believed that he had jumped out of the category of the young generation!

“Well, he is the most competitive candidate in the second tier of the Nightmare Demon Palace…” Fox Elder whispered.

“Second tier; is there already such a strong person in the second tier!” Chu Mu was shocked. If he continued to train and grow in his original way, wouldn’t all his soul pets combined not even be able to match one of Lu Shanli’s pet?

How many experts are gathered in The World Decree! So he can’t even start thinking about the current out-of-reach first tier!

“Young Master, I said it before, it’s not so easy to compete for the second tier, you have to be mentally prepared.” Fox Elder said.

“In fact, each expert’s development is more or less determined around the age of thirty because the age of a Soul Pet Master hardly improves after thirty, and soul pets also reach around the tenth rank. Multiple factors intervene. Young master, you still have close to ten years to strive for. You don’t need to be too aggressive because these people who are stronger than you and have walked ahead of you. This Lu Shanli is almost the limit of the second tier of the Nightmare Demon Palace. In battles with his peers, he is the only person who has never lost aside from the Soul Hall Crown Prince.”

“In fact, from an age perspective, Lu Shanli wasn’t much stronger than you when he was your age…” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu did not think the way Fox Elder did. The betrayal of his Soul Pet put him slower than others on the path of Soul Pet Masters. If it wasn’t for the death-like strenuous training of the White Nightmare Demon, Chu Mu would surely have fallen behind his peers a lot.

The most important thing is that even if Chu Mu becomes a Soul Lord, he could only summon three soul pets, and he is in a disadvantage in the fight with the real experts.

So Chu Mu could never compare himself with others from the same starting line, he had to pay more effort and sweat to become stronger!

During the first competition, Chu Tianmang emerged from the second tier. Chu Mu could only summon three soul pets and started very late, but Chu Mu felt that this was not an excuse for him to stay in the third tier. If he could not surpass himself, how could he prove himself to the others?

Moreover, Moxie (Mo Ye) and the Zhe Dragon’s egg had a significant connection with the Soul Covenant. Chu Mu knew that he would clash with the Soul Covenant sooner or later. He could not re-enact the tragedy of Chu Tianmang!

His goal should be to sit at the pinnacle of Soul Pets, much like the World Throne, looking down on all other powers!

“Young Master… You’re not planning to challenge the Ninth-level Mysterious Realm, are you… even the first tier participants of the Ninth-level Mysterious Realm barely dare to go there…” Noticing the fluctuation in Chu Mu’s mood, Old Master Li asked quietly.

Chu Mu shook his head, stating, “I won’t be that irrational, but I’ll continuously challenge my limits during this time.”

Back at Nightmare Demon Palace, Chu Mu knew that Lu Shanli was an unreachable powerhouse. But now, Chu Mu at least knows how much strength he has compared to that man. This gap may seem vast, but as long as he crosses it resolutely, and then chases desperately, he’ll undoubtedly close the gap when his soul pet hits a bottleneck!

“That’s fine then.” Master Li finally let out a sigh of relief.

As for the Ninth-level Mysterious Realm, of course Chu Mu wanted to go there! Not only that, he even planned to step into the Tenth-Rank Mysterious Realm Overlapping Heaven!

But what he needs to do now is to have his bottle-necked soul pets first transform into the Eighth Stage!

Chu Mu didn’t disturb the group from the Demon Palace. After memorizing the appearances of these people, Chu Mu went around them to the north of their location, trying to find the place where chaotic currents had appeared.

Sure enough, when Chu Mu rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast into this relatively spacious ruin, he could clearly sense the irregularity of the wind.

The wind direction is generally fixed over a certain period of time, but here he could clearly feel the wind blowing aimlessly…

This strange, turbulent wind covered a wide area of land. The further north Chu Mu went, the harsher the surrounding wind became.

What’s strange is that despite the fierce wind, almost nothing on the ground was swept up; Only the rampant weeds were constantly swaying in the wind.

“Young Master doesn’t have a Wind Element Soul Pet. Entering these windy domains is a big disadvantage because the combat power of wind element soul pets can increase by several times in such places…” Master Li said.

“Yeah, if there’s a chance, I should look for a suitable Wind Element Soul Pet.” Chu Mu nodded.

“Young Master, you’re interested in wind type soul pets, right? I have a good suggestion then.” Master Li said.

“What suggestion?” Chu Mu has always been interested in wind-element soul pets, but he hasn’t found any suitable ones before.

In terms of elemental soul pets’ destructive power, Wind Element is not the strongest. However, it has a remarkably wide attack range, and also has a long attack distance, making it the strongest in long-range combat among elemental soul pets.

As a combat type Soul Pet Master, you can’t be short of Fire Element soul pets, Ice Element soul pets, and similarly, you can’t lack wind type soul pets!

“Young Master, how could you forget? Didn’t I mention the seven Diagram Sacred Beasts of the Soul Hall to you before?” Master Li said with a hint of suspense.

“Are there any Wind Element Soul Pets among the Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts?” Chu Mu racked his brain.

“Wind-binding Spirit!” Master Li looked speechless, as Chu Mu seemed to have poor memory.

“I don’t know much about the Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts.” When Master Li only mentioned the name at that time, and Chu Mu had never read any introduction about the Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts in the Pet Compendium, how would he know what kind of soul pet the Wind-binding Spirit is?

“The Wind-binding Spirit is an Intermediate Monarch-level Elemental Soul Pet. It has extremely powerful wind-elemental attack and wind-binding abilities. Numerous people from the Soul Hall have fought tooth and nail over it. If you don’t have a favored Wind Element Soul Pet for now, you can totally consider the Wind-binding Spirit from the Soul Hall. Of course, there are rules in the Soul Hall, so obtaining this Wind-binding Spirit will not be that easy…” Master Li said.

“Wind-binding Spirit…” Chu Mu fell into deep thought.

Chu Mu had never seen a Wind-binding Spirit and didn’t know what abilities it had, so he figured he might as well learn more about it the next time he returned to Soul Hall.

Having traveled to many places by now, Chu Mu has deeply understood the critical roles the soul pets of various series play in specific environments.

Now that he has repaired his Fourth Soul Contract, if the Wind-binding Spirit suits him, he might consider making it his Wind Element Soul Pet.
