Supreme Tamer

Chapter 555: Chapter 426: Peak Commander, Tenth Rank Flame Bird

“To have a member of the third tier appear on this battlefield, it’s quite rare. Soul Hall certainly harbors many hidden experts. With such soul pet control abilities, it shouldn’t be a problem to attain the glory of the first realm,” Nightmare Demon Palace’s Lu Shanli cast his gaze towards Chu Mu, feeling an oddly familiar sensation.

Lu Shanli had been waiting throughout the first challenge for the glory of the first realm. He was waiting for the moment when Soul Hall’s Chu Chen would summon Night Thunder Dream Beast, because as soon as he summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast, Lu Shanli would be able to confirm that this was the person who had interfered with him back in the Desolate Ancient City.

Princess Jinrou quietly sat in her place. She already knew that the man below her in the arena was Chu Mu, the Prison Island King who had been her close guard for a few days.

In fact, Princess Jinrou was always very surprised by Chu Mu. She never imagined that Chu Mu would be able to reach today’s battlefield with his own strength and become the first person to challenge for glory in the entirety of World City.

Princess Jinrou remembered that this man had initially been a servant whose fate was controlled by Xia Guanghan. His life was extremely humble, and his strength was very weak.

And now, he stands here where experts are gathered, receiving the attention of countless strong individuals on this supreme beast fighting arena. Displaying his amazing strength as a third-tier member challenging for the second-tier glory. After this battle, regardless of his ranking in the World Rankings, his challenge across tiers will make his reputation widespread!

…

“There’s only one minute left. The Tenth Rank Chain Demon Bull Beast hasn’t been killed, and there are still two Ninth Rank Chain Demon Bull Beasts. If they aren’t dealt with quickly, the leader will face an even greater predicament,” Zhao Cheng, an expert from Soul Hall’s Blue Realm, said.

After cooperating with Chu Mu to siege Shen Yicheng, Zhao Cheng had been impressed by Chu Mu’s relentless nature. Although Chu Mu was a few years younger than himself, and the strength of his soul pets was even slightly inferior to his own, Zhao Cheng had always referred to Chu Mu as the leader as a sign of respect towards this youth who was challenging across tiers.

“He certainly won’t withstand the third wave!” Zhan Hong, who had a conflict with Chu Mu before, sneered coldly. He had no good feelings about Chu Mu from beginning to end.

Shang Heng sat in his position, glancing at Zhan Hong, and a smile appeared on his face, “Isn’t your first realm also a beast fight? Look at your rankings among yourselves, and you will know who is stronger.”

“Compared to him? He’s just a third-tier member trying to show off. It’s already quite an achievement for him to enter the second-tier honor challenge. Didn’t you see that he doesn’t even have a Ninth Rank intermediate monarch? With such a soul pet lineup, if it weren’t for his outstanding control ability, he wouldn’t even be able to enter our second tier’s top 100. It’s no problem for me to get into the top 50. Do you think my ranking will be lower than his?” Zhan Hong immediately laughed.

The Nightmare Demon Palace’s youth seats were very close to Soul Hall’s youth seats, and Zhan Hong didn’t hide his contempt for Chu Mu at all.

These voices quickly reached the ears of Princess Jinrou and Lu Shanli. Lu Shanli had a faint smile on his face and said to the veiled Princess Jinrou beside him, “This Zhan Hong seems to be from the Eighth Young Master’s team, isn’t he?”

“Yeah, he is one of Fang Ze’s people,” Princess Jinrou nodded.

“I have not seen Fang Ze appear all this while. Even though Chu Chen’s strength barely squeezed into the top 100 of the second tier, this is after all the first honor challenge. Isn’t it unreasonable for him to ignore it?” Lu Shanli looked around and didn’t see the fierce man with bronze skin.

“I haven’t heard from him for a while. Maybe he is focusing on cultivation, or intentionally hiding his identity. But he will definitely appear in the later realms,” Princess Jinrou said.

In the eyes of Princess Jinrou and Lu Shanli, the real second-tier powerhouse of the Soul Hall is definitely not the young man who is currently challenging across tiers on the battlefield, but the elusive Eighth Young Master – Fang Ze!

“This Chu Chen, who is also challenging across tiers like you, is quite talented. In a few years, he will certainly be a prominent figure in the Soul Hall, but he is still somewhat inferior compared to little sister Jinrou… I have some minor things to take care of, and I won’t continue watching. If Jinrou sister finds out he has the Night Thunder Dream Beast, let me know please.” Lu Shanli slowly stood up, appearing as though he didn’t intend to continue watching.

Princess Jinrou showed a puzzled look in her eyes, and she asked as Lu Shanli turned to leave, “Why are you concerned about whether he has the Night Thunder Dream Beast?”

“A small grudge, I just can’t confirm if it’s him yet,” Lu Shanli said nonchalantly with a smile, then slowly walked away from the beast fighting arena.

Princess Jinrou naturally did not understand the meaning of the so-called small grudge. She just took a special look at the back of Lu Shanli and thought to herself, “Lu Shanli isn’t as simple as he appears on the surface. This small grudge makes him brood, Chu Mu, you can only pray that you don’t encounter Lu Shanli in the upcoming breakthroughs.”

…

The last minute was over, and Chu Mu finally killed the Tenth Rank Chain Demon Bull Beast with the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s ice element attack power and the Demon Tree Warrior’s constraints.

However, when the main judge prompted to release soul pets for the second time, there were still two Ninth Rank Chain Demon Bull Beasts on the battlefield.

The entire arena was fraught with tension. If Chu Mu didn’t eliminate his remaining two ninth-stage Chain Demon Bull Beasts, it would mean that for his second round, not only would he have to face even tougher beasts to fight, but he would also be opposed by the two Chain Demon Bull Beasts, making the atmosphere more challenging.

Suddenly, a dazzling burst of flames rose from the center of the fighting beast arena!

This fire instantly sprang to the arena’s hundred-meter-high dome, where it exploded in vibrant red, illuminating the excited faces of tens of thousands in the crowd!

A tenth-stage Flame Bird!!!

For the second round, a tenth-stage Flame Bird had been released!

The Flame Bird’s species rank is a low-level commander.

However, from the bird’s roaring flame power, it was visible that this was a soul pet strengthened by a spiritual item, and its combat power level had reached the peak commander level!!

With the full metamorphosis at the tenth stage, reaching a peak commander level in combat power, added to its flying ability and dominant control of flames, even without other soul pets, this Flame Bird alone was no less menacing than the seven Chain Demon Bull Beasts Chu Mu had to face in the first round!

“Screech!!!!!!!!”

The sharp scream seemed to be delivered with blistering flames. This Flame Bird soared at nearly a hundred meters high, and the tens of thousands of spectators had to crane their necks to witness this enormous Flame Bird. If it weren’t for the extensive cost of installing a combat barrier in front of the spectator seats in the fighting beast arena, none of the tens of thousands of spectators could have calmly sat there passionately enjoying the fight while witnessing such a roaring fire beast. One must know that its rolling heat wave could easily burn them to ashes!

“A tenth-stage peak-level commander, the difficulty has indeed increased significantly. In the past, you could roughly make it to the top 50 to earn the honor rewards by holding on for about 25 minutes in the beast fighting honor challenge. Chu Chen’s Ghost Dome King is the only one among his soul pets that has a monstrous defensive power capable of withstanding a ten-stage commander. His other soul pets will likely end up seriously injured without much caution. Now ten minutes have gone by, if he can deal with this Flame Bird, it would already be quite impressive. Do you guys think that he could hold on for 25 minutes?” Zhan Hong said disdainfully.

Relying on his strength, Zhan Hong self-assessed that he could also hold on for 25 minutes at most, so he didn’t think Chu Chen could last 20 minutes.

Now, Chu Mu was at the 10-minute point. By this time, his battlefield was made up of two ninth-stage Chain Demon Bull Beasts and a peak-level commander Flame Bird. The strength of the peak-level commander Flame Bird was equivalent to a third-stage intermediate monarch—not only was it nearly two levels higher than Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit and three levels higher than the Ghost Dome King, but it also nearly surpassed the Demon Tree Warrior by three levels.

Given such a disparity in strength, the likelihood of Chu Mu resolving this within 10 minutes was minimal, and a misstep might even put Chu Mu’s life in danger!

“Screech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Heat waves rolled up, and Chu Mu’s face was also reddened by the glow. He looked up and all he could see was a cluster of blazing flames burning fiercely, similar to the brilliantly shining intense sunlight hanging high above.

The Flame Bird’s huge fiery shadow cast over Chu Mu. The blood-red flames flared wildly around it.

Just like Mo Ye, the Flame Bird also manipulates advanced blood flames. However, it was evident that the depth of the blood flame’s color was more vibrant with a touch of azure, indicating that it was nearing the next level of flame crystal—Ghost Flame.

If this Flame Bird controlled the Ghost Flame, its combat power level would rise significantly, completely exceeding a level that Chu Mu could ever hope to defeat.

As he faced this soul pet that combined the fire series with the winged system, Chu Mu furrowed his brows slightly. He didn’t have a winged system soul pet, and winged system soul pets were inherently adept at spiral fighting. Within ten minutes, Chu Mu wouldn’t be able to defeat this Flame Bird unless he summoned the Wind-binding Spirit. Otherwise, it was impossible.

If he didn’t summon the Wind-binding Spirit, by the 20th minute, Chu Mu would not only have to face this Flame Bird but also the third wave of beasts. For Chu Mu at this point, the difficulty of the fight had reached a dangerous level.

“Finish those two ninth-stage Chain Demon Bull Beasts within two minutes.” Chu Mu knew he shouldn’t overthink, and he gave his soul pet instructions immediately.

The two ninth-stage Chain Demon Bull Beasts had become a burden in Chu Mu’s current fight. He could not allow these creatures to waste any more of his time, otherwise, he would have no chance to focus on dealing with the peak-level commander Flame Bird.

Of his three soul pets—Ghost Dome King, Demon Tree Warrior, Ice-Feathered Spirit—the Ice-Feathered Spirit had the most lethal power, closely followed by the Ghost Dome King. The Demon Tree Warrior was unable to use its crowd control ability and could only serve as a constraint. Chu Mu was considering whether to switch to Night Thunder Dream Beast after dealing with the two Chain Demon Bull Beasts.
