Chapter 736: Chapter 606: Fierce First-Level Little Hiding Dragon
Returning to his family, Chu Mu was in high spirits. After all, he had lived with them for over a decade. Having been away for so long, he truly missed them.
“Swish, swish, swish~~~”
White splashes of water scattered about, as Little Hiding Dragon lounged happily on Chu Mu’s shoulder. Surprisingly, it jumped onto the railing of its own accord, but its tender claws slipped, prompting Little Mo Xie to frustratedly use its tail to wrap around the playful creature to prevent it from falling into the river.
Little Mo Xie wasn’t all that playful. Mainly, it was just gluttonous and lazy. Ever since the birth of Little Hiding Dragon, Mo Xie acted like a little nanny, constantly watching over the creature to prevent it from getting lost.
Chu Mu flipped his palm, holding two crystal, fingernail-sized spirits. He fed the larger one to Little Mo Xie and the smaller one to Little Hiding Dragon.
Little Hiding Dragon also had a small appetite. Though Jade Spring Holy Blood had strengthened it to Emperor-level, the spirits it usually consumed were less than one percent of what Mo Xie consumed.
Emperor-level pets, due to their immense power, often had high energy consumption, which was why they needed to consume more spirits. Naturally, Emperor-level young pets wouldn’t be able to eat that many spirits.
Shortly after Chu Mu left World City, Little Hiding Dragon underwent Jade Spring Holy Blood baptism. After the baptism, the dragon successfully advanced to the Emperor-level but remained in a deep slumber until recently.
Now at First Rank First Stage, Little Hiding Dragon was no longer as vulnerable as it had been as an infant.
With a certain level of attack power, Chu Mu planned to find some scattered areas to train Little Hiding Dragon.
Chu Mu had already given Little Hiding Dragon the Eternal Spring Water. In around two years, it would reach the Tenth Rank. If Chu Mu often let Little Hiding Dragon battle, this time would likely shorten.
“Swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~~~”
Little Hiding Dragon twisted its green body, its round eyes gazing at the splashing water, looking very excited as it once again escaped from Little Mo Xie’s tail.
The crew nearby clearly hadn’t seen such a unique soul pet before. With a smile, one of them asked, “Sir, what type of soul pet is this? It looks so delicate, just at First Rank First Stage, right?”
“Yeah, it’s not long since it hatched.” Chu Mu responded but didn’t reveal Little Hiding Dragon’s race. If he said it was Qingzhe Dragon, the crewman would probably be frightened.
As the crewman was about to continue speaking, suddenly, an even larger splash erupted beneath the boat!!
The crewman paused for a moment before a Sawtooth Iron Python sprang up from the splash, large enough to swallow a human’s head in one bite, its horrifying throat clearly visible!
This Sawtooth Iron Python was nearly three meters long, and its target was the playful Little Hiding Dragon at the railing!
“Sir, watch out!!” The crewman yelled, but it was too late to summon his own soul pet.
As the Sawtooth Iron Python was about to bite the green little soul pet, the crewman felt nothing but dread.
Since the young man was so generous, his soul pets must be extraordinary. The Sawtooth Iron Python that had burst out was definitely a high-level servant close to the Third Rank. It could bite the First Rank First Stage little soul pet into pieces in one mouthful!
The crewman had already shouted a warning, but he saw that the young man was still unmoved. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
“Swoosh!!!!!”
Suddenly, a cold light flew by at an extremely fast speed, like a sharp sword being drawn. Even the splashes of water were evidently chopped off!
The next moment, blood splashed, mixing with the water and staining the deck.
“Thump~~~~~~~~~”
A menacing and ugly skull fell to the ground, its sawtooth-filled mouth gushing with fresh blood.
Seeing this scene, the crewman was so shocked that his jaw hung open!
It turned out that just as the Sawtooth Iron Python was about to bite the little green pet, the small green creature slashed off the head of the Sawtooth Iron Python with a single claw!
“This… this little guy is at First Rank First Stage?!” The crewman couldn’t quite believe what he had just witnessed.
A First Rank First Stage soul pet had instantly killed a high-level servant that was nearly two ranks higher! How high must its combat power level be?!
“Swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~~~”
Little Hiding Dragon let out a string of excited noises. After a single swipe, its body was enveloped by a green light – it was growing!
Seeing Little Hiding Dragon grow, a smile appeared on Chu Mu’s face.
Starting today, Little Hiding Dragon’s strength would grow rapidly as it metamorphosed!
The crewman had initially thought that Little Hiding Dragon had some hidden means of concealing its true rank. However, when the green light appeared, it confirmed that the creature had indeed been First Rank First Stage. This revelation dumbfounded the crewman, who started to calculate just what level a soul pet would have to be to instantly kill an enemy that was almost two ranks higher.
As for the crewman’s shock, Little Hiding Dragon was completely unaware, acting as though it had done nothing remarkable while continuing to play with the water on the railing…
Under the water, a group of Sawtooth Iron Pythons initially planning to take advantage of the splashing water to launch a sneak attack became terrified when they saw Little Thunder Dragon. They immediately dispersed like “birds and beasts” in fear that the little monster would pounce and kill them all.
“Sir, under normal circumstances, we Commander Rank ships never worried about these Sawtooth Iron Pythons. However, they take advantage of the terrain to hide underwater, specifically launching sneak attacks on weaker people and soul pets when our ships pass by quickly. Without precautions, it could be life-threatening. But your little soul pet… it’s truly powerful. Has it reached the legendary Monarch Rank?” The crew member asked carefully.
At this moment, the smile on his face was no longer as fake as before. Instead, it was obviously filled with awe for the strong.
Monarch Rank, Chu Mu shook his head with a faint smile, without saying anything.
The combat power level of Little Thunder Dragon?
Chu Mu himself didn’t know. After the baptism of Jade Spring Holy Blood, the little fellow definitely reached the Emperor Rank. However, Chu Mu wasn’t sure if it was at the quasi-Emperor, low-grade Emperor, or mid-grade Emperor level.
But Fox Elder seriously warned Chu Mu that if he didn’t advance to the Soul Emperor level before Little Thunder Dragon reached the Seventh Rank, it would likely go its own way!
Now, Little Thunder Dragon followed Chu Mu around not because of the soul contract, but because the special relationship of the Jade Spring Holy Blood made it regard Chu Mu as its father.
In terms of strength, Chu Mu had a rough estimate about Little Thunder Dragon. At First Rank First Stage, its combat power was only at the level of a second-rank low-level servant. The main reason it killed the nearly third-rank Sawtooth Iron Python in an instant was the dominance of its Emperor-level skills.
In terms of the ten ranks, Little Thunder Dragon was still at the level of quasi-Servant. It’s estimated that once it reaches the second rank, its power would directly compare with that of a quasi-War General. And it would be a Tenth Rank quasi-War General!
It could be said that when Chu Mu stepped out of Prison Island, all his soul pets combined wouldn’t be a match for the second rank Little Thunder Dragon. This showed how terrifying Little Thunder Dragon’s strength would be once it truly grew up!
In about two months, Little Thunder Dragon would reach the second rank by the time they arrived at the Chu Family.
…
…
During the journey from World City to Zhanli Realm, Chu Mu didn’t relax. He continued to traverse various mysterious realms to train his other soul pets.
Chu Mu now also had a lot of money, especially after Mo Ye reached Emperor Rank, plundering resources from the mysterious realms became very easy.
With Mo Ye leading the way and the endless supply of spirit items, Chu Mu’s other soul pets grew rapidly in strength. In a short period, all of Chu Mu’s soul pets reached the Tenth Rank.
With Level 9 spirit items and Level 10 spirit items being consumed like meals, there was no bottleneck to mention.
Combat power levels: Ye, Demon Tree Warrior, Zhan Ye, and Wind-binding Spirit had all reached High-Level Monarch Rank.
Under normal circumstances, even with a large amount of spiritual items, soul pets would need a buffer and digestion time to increase their strength.
However, that buffer and digestion time could be shortened through battle. Chu Mu boldly entered a Ninth Mysterious Realm and went on a killing spree.
After fighting against tens of thousands of soul pet tribes for several days, the soul pets used up their spiritual items and roughly digested them. That’s how they all rapidly increased their strength in just a few months.
Due to Chu Mu consuming Earth Immortal Ice before, Ice-Feathered Spirit was still in a dormant state. Earth Immortal Ice was a level 4 Emperor-level spirit item. Even with Chu Mu absorbing most of it, the remaining effects on a Monarch Rank soul pet would be quite astonishing.
After sleeping for a few months, Chu Mu estimated that when the Ice-Feathered Spirit woke up, it would be at the Tenth Rank Peak Monarch level.
He spent 600 billion Gold Coins to strengthen the White Demon to High-Level Monarch and another 1000 billion to enhance it to the Peak Monarch Level.
Ordinarily, 300 billion would be enough to strengthen a High-Level Monarch to the Peak Monarch Level, but that would usually take a few years of buffer time.
Chu Mu couldn’t wait that long, and thus had to invest several times more money!
With an investment of 1000 billion, the White Demon had truly become the invincible Monarch Rank!
Normally, when encountering some enemies undefeated by other soul pets but not yet at the Emperor Rank, the White Demon could take care of it. This way, Mo Ye wouldn’t need to make a move and cause Chu Mu to lose a few spirits.
After leaving the World City, Chu Mu had a considerable amount of money from clearing all his assets, which totaled 4000 billion.
When looking at the 4000 billion he obtained, Chu Mu’s eyes were filled with dazzling radiance. Not too long ago, he was still struggling for a few billion. Unexpectedly, it suddenly became several thousand billion, which even Chu Mu himself found unbelievable!
Of course, that was mainly because it involved Emperor Rank soul pets. Chu Mu believed it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to get 4000 billion now.
Out of the 4000 billion, 1000 billion was used for high-intensity strengthening of the White Demon, and another 1000 billion was used to raise all soul pets to the Tenth Rank High-Level Monarch.
Chu Mu temporarily didn’t plan to squander the remaining 2000 billion.
That money didn’t come easily. After enhancing the strength of the soul pets, Chu Mu could go to higher-ranking mysterious realms and obtain spiritual items while also conducting high-intensity battles for his soul pets. There was no need to spend 1000 billion like this to raise High-Level Monarchs to the Peak Monarch Level.
As for Chu Mu himself, with the great increase of his soul pets’ strength, he had now become an Eight-Thought Soul Master. If all his soul pets reached the Peak Monarch level, Chu Mu would be close to becoming a Nine-Thought Soul Master. (To be continued.
