Chapter 495 - 367: Return, Battle Luo Peng Again
Chapter 495: Chapter 367: Return, Battle Luo Peng Again
Almost every inch of his skin was no longer intact; his face was covered in black, dried bloodstains, making him look like a survivor who had crawled out from a pile of dead bodies.
However, the black eyes that rolled in his sockets did not show the desire for survival and fear of a weakling, but instead, a determined and unwavering light!
Li Hen stared blankly at the youth in front of him, feeling waves of emotions in his heart. After a long time, he finally asked, “Young Master Chu, have you just come out of the Rear Sand Region?”
“I guess so.” There was no boundary between the front and rear sand regions, and Chu Mu couldn’t tell if he had entered the Rear Sand Region.
Based on his nearly two months of experience, he should have unwittingly entered the Rear Sand Region while fighting, or he wouldn’t have encountered so many Ninth Stage Commanders.
“He actually came out of the Rear Sand Region… isn’t that a joke?” The other three hall officials had also landed in front of Chu Mu. Their expressions became strange after hearing Li Hen’s conversation with the battered youth.
These three Level 8 Hall Officials still dared not venture into the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, the residence of the realm’s master, but this bruised youth had actually walked out from the Rear Sand Region!
“Young Master Chu is truly extraordinary.” Li Hen spoke again after a long time of surprise.
“Do you have water?” Chu Mu paid no attention to their astonished gazes and simply asked flatly.
Li Hen came back to his senses and hurriedly handed over the water from his Space Ring to the youth. “Do you need healing potions? Your wounds are very serious…”
Chu Mu shook his head, took the water from Li Hen, but didn’t drink it himself; instead, he used his soul sense…
Li Hen and the three hall officials all paused when they saw Chu Mu’s action. When Chu Mu asked for water, everyone thought he was extremely thirsty. After all, his lips were already cracked, indicating severe dehydration.
“Let’s go…” Chu Mu spoke to Li Hen with a touch of exhaustion.
Li Hen nodded and asked Chu Mu to jump onto the back of his Misty Immortal Bird.
“Whoosh~” The Misty Immortal Bird flapped its wings, stirring up a storm of sand as it soared into the sky and approached the blue horizon.
The three hall officials rode their respective soul pets into the sky, following the Misty Immortal Bird. Their expressions were somewhat strange at this point.
Isn’t it true that Sir Li Hen dislikes letting others sit on his Misty Immortal Bird? Who finally raised a question among the three hall officials.
“It’s indeed strange. When the Eighth Young Master was young and wanted to ride the Misty Immortal Bird, even Sir Li Hen coldly rejected him.”
Li Hen had sharp ears, and he heard the conversation of his subordinates. He deliberately looked at the pale wanderer sitting on the Misty Immortal Bird and closed his eyes to rest. A smile emerged on his face.
As a young man, he stepped into the most dangerous area of the Eighth Mysterious Realm. As a Soul Pet Master, when he was scarred and extremely thirsty, the first thing he thought of was his Soul Pets. In Li Hen’s opinion, this was a true Soul Pet Master!
Soul Hall Inner Palace.
“Has he returned and recuperating?” Palace Master Yu had a scroll in his hand, glanced at Li Hen who was half-kneeling in front of him and asked indifferently.
“Yeah, when we went to the Rear Sand Region, he was coming out from there.” Li Hen replied respectfully.
“Rear Sand Region?” Master Yu put down the scroll in his hand, stared at Li Hen, and surprise appeared on his face.
“When I found him, he was battered and bruised, having fought in there for a long time. Even I cannot believe that a young generation member had the guts to practice in the Rear Sand Region. Sir Yu, our Soul Hall has got another eccentric character.” Li Hen exclaimed.
Master Yu remembered that he had given Chu Mu the reward three months ago. At that time, he was worried about whether Chu Mu could complete the Level 8 mission or not. What made him feel helpless was that this Young Master Chu was too outrageous. He ran to the most dangerous place in the whole Eighth Mysterious Realm. Did he feel the other places in the Eighth Mysterious Realm were not challenging enough?
“In half a year, it will be the World Decree. In the third tier, our Soul Hall will obtain another honor.” Yu Palace Master said, and he picked up the book again.
Li Hen nodded. According to his estimation, this Young Master Chu should have few opponents in the third tier, being able to mix it up in the Rear Sand Region.
After returning to Soul Hall, Chu Mu took seven whole days to slowly recover to his normal state.
His soul pets, like himself, were seriously wounded. Fortunately, Li Hen provided many highly efficient healing potions, enabling the soul pets to recover as well in the seven days.
“Young Master, you’ve been too crazy lately. If this continues, I’m afraid you’ll become like Soul Alliance’s Qin Ye, only feeling alive when killing. A Soul Pet Master’s cultivation isn’t just about fighting; there are many other equally important elements…” Fox Elder had witnessed Chu Mu’s craziness over the past two months. This kind of madness made him feel cold, and it was hard to imagine how deeply rooted the belief of becoming stronger was in his heart.
“It’s no big deal. I can control myself,” said Chu Mu nonchalantly.
“But don’t forget about the devil inside you. A half-demon is a bloody killer. With the way you’re going, it will be easy for you to become possessed, and it will be almost impossible for you to control yourself.” Fox Elder reminded him.
“One day, I will be able to completely control the power of my half-demon form.” Chu Mu said nonchalantly.
The battle at Li City made Chu Mu realize how tremendous the power of his half-demon form is. He knew that he could not control it only because he was too weak at the moment. Once he became strong enough, Chu Mu believed that he could transform into his half-demon form at any time and wield the power of Soul Demon Flames without any reservations.
“Well, I should hand in the bounty now.” Chu Mu stood up and stretched his limbs.
After fighting against Soul Alliance Qin Ye’s Royal Mo Ye, Chu Mu realized how important Soul Equipment was. Chu Mu was currently unable to increase Mo Ye’s Combat Power Level, but he could achieve the same effect by using Soul Equipment.
At present, the effect of sixth-level Soul Equipment could hardly be seen on Zhan Ye. Having it wear these equipments would barely make it reach Low-grade Monarch rank as a quasi-monarch only.
According to Chu Mu’s estimation, if Zhan Ye was equipped with seventh-level Soul Equipment, its Combat Power would definitely reach the level of Low-grade Monarch. Combined with Zhan Ye’s six-times vitality, Limb Regeneration, and Courageous Sting’s Heart, it could certainly defeat Intermediate Monarchs within the same stage!
“Young Master, someone is looking for you.” Jia Jing ran over and said while panting.
“Is it the two people I asked you to find for me?” Chu Mu’s eyes sparkled, could it be that Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng had already arrived at World City?
“No, that person claiming to be from the Hunting Association has been waiting for you for more than a month. He said you’re too cowardly and don’t dare to fight him again.” Jia Jing replied.
“Oh, it’s him…” Chu Mu’s eyes dimmed, he waved his hand at Jia Jing and said, “Tell him I’m not here.”
Lu Peng’s character didn’t interest Chu Mu in the slightest, he didn’t want to waste time on such a person.
“Thump thump thump~”
“Chu Chen, I know you’re in there!” Suddenly, a somewhat immature voice came through the door.
Jia Jing looked at Chu Mu, hesitating whether she should open the door.
Chu Mu rubbed his temples, thought about it, and decided to fight. This way, he could also compare his strength to his past self and see how much progress he had made.
Chu Mu walked to the door, opened it, and saw the young man named Teng Hai standing in front of his door, his face showing stubbornness and resentment.
“Why are you hiding here, are you afraid to fight Lu Peng again after learning about his sudden increase in strength?” Teng Hai asked angrily.
“Where is he?” Chu Mu didn’t bother to explain and simply asked casually.
“He’s at the outer court battlefield. I’m going to call my sister now. If you back down, you better not call yourself a member of Soul Hall anymore,” Teng Hai said.
“Jia Jing, lead the way.” Chu Mu said.
“Oh, okay.” Jia Jing hurriedly nodded and walked in front of Chu Mu.
Jia Jing had been serving as Chu Mu’s personal female attendant for three months already, and she was very curious about everything related to him. Now that she had the opportunity to see him in battle, she was somewhat excited. After all, Chu Mu had completed an eighth-level bounty task, and there were not many young people like him in Soul Hall!
Teng Hai knew that Ting Lan was inside Soul Hall and also knew that Luo Peng was eager to regain his dignity in front of her. Therefore, after Chu Mu agreed to fight, Teng Hai couldn’t wait to run over to the central hall and call Ting Lan over to watch the battle.
“What’s so urgent?” Ting Lan put down what she was doing and looked at her younger brother.
“Lu Peng and Chu Chen will fight again!” Teng Hai directly pulled Ting Lan, insisting that she watch the battle.
“I’m busy with the Wind-binding Hall matters. Just go and watch.’ Ting Lan said with little interest.
“No way, you must come with me.” Teng Hai said somewhat excitedly.
Teng Hai had entrusted himself to invite Ting Lan, so how could he let her miss the chance to witness his hard work over the past few months!
Ting Lan’s beautiful eyes became slightly cold as she frowned.
Teng Hai noticed the change in Ting Lan’s expression, his heart tightened, and he quickly let go, not daring to continue pulling her.
Teng Hai knew about Ting Lan’s temper. She was usually gentle, exquisite, and generous, making her the perfect older sister. However, once her eyes grew cold, it meant she was angry. When she was angry, she became formidable!
Teng Hai didn’t dare to speak and looked at Ting Lan with fear.
“Fine, lead the way.” Ting Lan sighed gently, her gaze gradually softened.
“Chu Chen… that should be his name, right?” Ting Lan muttered to herself. In fact, her change of heart had nothing to do with Lu Peng, but rather with the mysterious young man. (To be continued.
