Supreme Tamer

“Guardian, it should be interesting, right?” Chu Mu grinned.

“You often train outside. If passing the realm is required within a specific Mysterious Realm, you have a great advantage. Although almost all Soul Pet Masters have experience training outside, I think there should be only a few in the younger generation who have reached your level of madness.” Ting Lan said.

“Are there any other modes?” Chu Mu continued to ask.

“The modes are determined by The World and need to be agreed upon by every corresponding member of each major power. In the past years, various new modes have emerged, such as battle, palace breaking, hunting, cross-border, assassination… I didn’t participate in the last World’s Chosen Competition, so I only heard about them from others,” Ting Lan said.

Chu Mu hadn’t expected The World’s Chosen Competition to have so many variations, which meant that guessing the challenges of each realm during the competition was a subject in itself. Moreover, if modes like hunting, palace breaking, and assassination were encountered, many teams might be competing, which would increase the difficulty and variables.

Regardless, with his strength, Chu Mu felt that he could face up to the challenges regardless of the mode of each realm in The World’s Chosen Competition. He could stand out from the multitude of experts gathered in this event!

Chu Mu was now looking forward to The World’s Chosen Competition even more!

…

From Ting Lan’s description, Chu Mu learned an important piece of information.

That is, there’s no difference between the so-called individual and team forms of participation in The World’s Chosen Competition.

The World’s Chosen Competition is based on individuals. Everyone competes as individuals, and some realms even allow only one person to pass.

Therefore, people who generally have teams will first choose a few members whose strength is not very different from their own. Then, these members of the team will be scattered to compete in different realms. As long as they encounter the same realm in the later process, they can compete together.

Of course, some realms may only allow one person to pass. In this case, a team member will have to voluntarily withdraw to allow the stronger member to continue to the next realm.

Because of this mode, the real young experts in the major powers act individually. If they form a team with strong members from the same power, they might be unwilling to withdraw when they encounter a realm that only allows one person to pass.

“So, does that mean that during the entire process of passing the realms, even if a person has already selected team members, they might still be on their own the entire time?” Chu Mu asked.

“Yes, there is such a possibility. But after the third realm, the probability of encountering the same realm increases, it’s higher after the fifth realm, and after the seventh realm, there are only a few modes left. If the team members are not eliminated during the competition, it’s theoretically possible to meet in the next realm,” Ting Lan said.

“In that case, wouldn’t there be a situation where major powers would focus on a single participant? With so many players in each realm, there must be people from a certain power. Those people would support that power, so wouldn’t it be easy for someone with a powerful background to pass the realm?” Chu Mu asked.

“This phenomenon happened a long time ago and is rarely used by powers now. First of all, for strong young members, ordinary members offer little help to them. For example, in the cross-border stage, passing through an extremely dangerous Mysterious Realm, weak Soul Pet Masters would undoubtedly drag their feet,”

“Furthermore, the glory of The World’s Chosen Competition is extremely rich. Even among the same power, there may be hidden intentions to strike at the last moment and take the glory for themselves. Therefore, even the top members of those powers can only choose those they trust. Moreover, there is also the possibility of other powers deliberately infiltrating, so almost all strong young warriors choose to act alone, as it’s faster and more direct.”

After Ting Lan’s explanation, Chu Mu understood.

Among the major powers, there are various factions, and in the end, there can only be one glory. No one would want to hand over the glory, so the method of passing realms using the power behind oneself might have some effect in the first few realms, but it would be almost impossible in the later realms.

“In this case, I might meet you in The World Chosen Competition, and we might become opponents or teammates,” Chu Mu said to Ting Lan.

“We are teammates,” Ting Lan smiled.

…

After understanding the mode of The World’s Chosen Competition, Chu Mu felt that the people he could trust should be Ye Qingzi, Ye Wansheng, and Ting Lan, who he once saved. If he encountered them in the later realms, he could form a team with them, which would increase the success rate of passing the realms. As for the situation where only one person could pass, they would have to discuss it at that time.

…

After returning to the Soul Hall, Chu Mu handed the collected venom to Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi refined the venom into two portions, one for Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior, and the other for Ye Wansheng, who would use it to strengthen his Sword Sting.

Ye Qingzi had already prepared the Heart of the Wood for Chu Mu. All Chu Mu had to do was strengthen the Demon Tree Warrior, and after allowing the Demon Tree Warrior to use the Life Siphon skill to introduce the poison effect into its body, the Demon Tree Warrior’s attacks would have poison that could corrode defenses!

Ja Jing had roughly found the items that Chu Mu had asked her to find: the spirit items needed for Mo Ye’s combat power level and stage, the spirit items needed for the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s combat power level and stage, Zhan Ye’s equipment, and ice attribute spirit items…

Of these, the strengthening spirit items needed by the Night Thunder Dream Beast were prepared by Ye Qingzi, saving Chu Mu 50 million. Chu Mu spent only 200 million on purchasing the spirit items needed by the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

The spirit items needed by Mo Ye were already close to ninth level, and the success rate of Ye Qingzi’s preparations was not very high. Therefore, Chu Mu still painfully spent 300 million to buy strengthening spirit items for Mo Ye’s ninth-level soul crystal and Nine-tailed Fox spirit item.

There could be no discount on Mo Ye’s equipment, so Chu Mu spent the entire 100 million to purchase a full-state offensive Soul Armor, raising Zhan Ye’s combat power level to the level of an Intermediate Monarch.

Ice-Feathered Spirit’s spirit items also cost 200 million, and according to Chu Mu’s estimate, after strengthening with these 200 million spirit items, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s combat power level should have also reached the level of an Intermediate Monarch, getting it one step closer to controlling the Ice Colored Glaze.

Chu Mu returned this time with 900 million in assets, and spent 800 million on the Ice-Feathered Spirit, Mo Ye, Night Thunder Dream Beast, and Zhan Ye. With the remaining 100 million, Chu Mu planned to equip the Ghost Dome King with some Soul Armor to strengthen its absolute defense.

Ghost Dome King’s own defense had reached the Level 8 Full Term, and with the King Ghost Transformation, its defense could be raised to near ninth level. If the Ghost Dome was further equipped with Soul Armor, its defense would be raised another level, so even ninth-level powered skills would have a hard time causing any real damage to the Ghost Dome King.

Naturally, the Soul Armor for the Ghost Dome King couldn’t be seventh level, as seventh-level Soul Armor would hardly have any effect on the Ghost Dome King’s near ninth-level defense.

An eighth-level Soul Armor required a full 400 million, and Lord Yu had granted Chu Mu 200 million in bonuses for the previous Shen Yicheng incident, which also counted as a benefit to exceptional youths participating in the World’s Chosen Competition from the Soul Hall.

In this way, Chu Mu had a total of 300 million at his disposal, and as long as he could earn another 100 million in the following time, he could purchase an eighth-level Soul Armor to equip the Ghost Dome King, making it an unbeatable absolute defense Soul Pet.

Before, earning a full 100 million had been extremely difficult for Chu Mu. Back then, in Dun City, he cracked his brain to raise the funds to buy the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox.

Now, obtaining 100 million for Chu Mu was just a matter of time. Upon completing an eighth-level bounty mission, Chu Mu was confident that he would have enough money.

Of course, to save time, Chu Mu naturally decided to strengthen his Soul Pets first. After all of them were strengthened, this 100 million bounty mission would be the best warm-up before the World’s Chosen Competition.

…

The strengthening process for Mo Ye went smoothly, unexpectedly raising its strength to the ninth stage first stage – Middle Monarch with no accidents.

After the strengthening, the most noticeable change in Mo Ye was the change of the Double Crown Flame. The Blood Flame was upgraded to an advanced state, and the Demon Fire Evil Flame was also advanced.

To Chu Mu’s surprise, when Mo Ye stepped into the Ninth Stage – Middle Monarch, it finally comprehended a new eighth-level Fire Series skill – Thirteen Hell Flames.

This eighth-level Fire Series skill was essential for Chu Mu because he could fuse his own Fire Skills and the White Nightmare Demon’s Fire Skills to create a triple-layered attack that could instantly kill enemies several levels stronger than him.

According to Chu Mu’s estimate, once this Thirteen Hell Flames were used at the eighth level combined with his own Pet Charm effect, the power would definitely reach the Ninth-Level Intermediate. If the White Nightmare Demon also comprehended the Thirteen Hell Flames, then it would be a triple-layered effect, with power possibly reaching the Ninth-Level Late Stage.

Once a Fire Series skill with Ninth-Level Late Stage power like this was cast, there would be hardly anyone who could withstand it among the second-tier, and the final glory could be said to be within reach.

Therefore, after Mo Ye comprehended an incredibly powerful Eighth-Level Fire Series skill, Chu Mu quickly placed his expectations on the White Nightmare Demon. If the White Nightmare Demon also comprehended this Fire Series skill when it reached the ninth stage, Chu Mu would truly sweep the second tier!

Chu Mu had previously heard Ye Qingzi mention targeted training. In the following time, Chu Mu was determined to buy various Blood Flame spirit items for the White Nightmare Demon, which would increase the probability of the White Nightmare Demon comprehending the Eighth-Level Fire Series skill – Thirteen Hell Flames.
