Chapter 172: Chapter 53: The Weakest Chu Mu Takes the Lead

“There must be something special about it. Chu Mu chose the Demon Spirit b.u.t.terfly for his little sister, and it’s indeed powerful. Few Soul Pet Masters of her age can compete with her.” Chu Xing said.

Chu Ning, who came to watch the battle, also nodded in agreement. He knew Chu Mu’s real strength. If Chu Mu called out the Ice-Feathered Spirit he used last time against Yang Jie, all these second-rate opponents would be wiped out!

“Spending a month to pick a soul pet, it is sometimes just luck to find one with high talents. It doesn’t mean that Chu Mu’s judgement is good.” Chu Ying remained with her contrary att.i.tude towards everything.

“Old witch…” Chu Yishui adorably hid behind Chu Ning and cursed softly and timidly.

Today, Zhan Ye seemed particularly active. Instead of following its usual tactic of striking after the opponent attacks, it started with a crazy offensive, not giving the opponent any chance to catch their breath.

Zhan Ye has the ability to regenerate limbs, allowing it to constantly heal itself, but it’s not easy for ordinary opponents to injure Zhan Ye considering its defense has also increased.

Under the crazy offensive, Zhan Ye showed its wild side, not giving the opponent much chance to counterattack, quickly ending this last fight.

Since the beginning of these matches, Chu Mu mainly relied on Zhan Ye to handle the battles, except for when he summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast against the Soul Pet Palace and the Demon Tree Warrior just now.

There wasn’t much suspense in this battle against the Su Family, but the most important thing is tomorrow’s battle against the Zhou Clan. The overall strength of the Zhou Clan ranks third, so if the Chu Family can defeat them, they would most likely enter the top three without any accidents!

Of course, to quickly restore the Chu Family’s strength, it would be best to win the first place. After all, the Level 6 Territory for the first place was actually the one the Chu Family had sold reluctantly in the previous years.

After the battle ended, Chu Xing led the others away and left the arena.

For the previous matches, no one from the Chu Family would come to watch. Tomorrow’s battle is the most important one. Surely, people from the Four Great Families and other forces will be present.

As they left the battlefield, they immediately saw another group of people walking out of the arena. Among them, a man dressed in an outstanding manner deliberately looked at the five people of the Chu family.

“That’s Chu Xing and the others…” The member of the Zhou Clan standing next to the distinguished young man whispered slowly.

“It’s Zhou Pan…” Chu Lang also glanced at the young man, revealing a clear hostility.

Zhou Pan, dressed in his outstanding outfit, floated a smirk and deliberately walked up to Chu Xing. With a shallow smile, he said, “Our two families will fight tomorrow. I’m delighted to compete with you again.”

“After I beat you down, you won’t say that.” Chu Xing said with an unfriendly tone.

Chu Mu had left for four years and didn’t have much impression of Zhou Pan. He glanced at Chu Yishui following behind him.

Chu Yishui knew that Chu Mu didn’t know much about the matter, so she immediately leaned to Chu Mu’s ear and whispered, “Brother, this Zhou Pan is Big Brother’s strong rival. Five years ago, Big Brother was defeated by him. Although he looks like a good person, he’s actually even more vicious than anyone else. Five years ago, Big Brother had already admitted defeat and didn’t have time to withdraw his Soul Pet, which resulted in the death of his beloved Bright Horned Beast. At that time, the Bright Horned Beast was already at the Fifth Rank, and its growth potential was huge. If it hadn’t died, it would have probably reached Level 6 or even close to Level 7 by now.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mu also remembered the incident. He recalled that Chu Xing had been disheartened for a while because of this.

Soul Pets couldn’t grow infinitely. The higher the stage of a Soul Pet’s growth and metamorphosis, the more difficult it was to continuously improve.

Level 6 and Level 7 can be considered a barrier for most Soul Pets. If a Commander-level Soul Pet could break through to Level 7, its strength would definitely improve significantly. Unfortunately, not all Soul Pets could metamorphose to the seventh stage.

Chu Xing’s Bright Horned Beast had excellent growth potential. Everyone in the family believed that it would have no problem entering Level 7. Chu Xing regarded the Bright Horned Beast as his own life, but it was killed by Zhou Pan five years ago, no wonder the usually calm Chu Xing showed such deep hostility…

“Hey, isn’t this Chu Mu? Your Chu Family must really be running out of people, actually choosing someone who is even more useless than Chu Yi as a

partic.i.p.ant. There’s no need to throw in the towel like this, isn’t your Chu family humiliated enough in these years?” Zhou Lijun of the Zhou Clan discovered Chu Mu and immediately sneered.

Zhou Lijun, the Miss of the Zhou clan, was one of the big bullies in Gangluo

City. Despite her beautiful appearance, her personality was really unbearable.

Chu Mu had some impressions of this wicked woman. She was very jealous of Qin Meng’er, and since Qin Meng’er often hung out with Chu Mu, Zhou Lijun would often mock Chu Mu for losing a single spirit, and every time she saw Chu Mu, she would sneer with unpleasant words.

In Chu Family, Chu Ying was the most untouchable Miss. But in Chu Mu’s view, Chu Ying was just complainy, moody and somewhat annoying. But this Zhou Lijun in front of him was simply an extremely wicked woman!

“Zhou Lijun, is it?” Chu Mu looked up, his eyes fixed on the woman, and his face remained cold…

As soon as Chu Mu spoke, everyone in the Chu family was stunned, and all their eyes turned to Chu Mu.

Through their recent interactions, they all knew that Chu Mu, who had been missing for four years, had undergone a significant change in his personality. He had become cold, indifferent and unfazed by praise or provocation, always maintaining a calm demeanor…

It was rare for Chu Mu to take the initiative to speak, especially under such circ.u.mstances and addressing the female member of the opposite party by

name.

“Big brother…” Chu Yishui hugged Chu Mu’s arm even tighter, her eyes telling him not to provoke the crazy woman.

“Yo, I heard you became mute after disappearing for four years, but it seems you can still talk…” Zhou Lijun immediately put on a smile, and it was as ugly as it could be. If only she could smack a shoe on her face!

“Tomorrow, all the soul pets you summon will die.” Chu Mu said in a calm tone.

Chu Mu’s words had two effects: everyone in the Chu family looked astonished, while the Zhou family laughed.

Zhou Pan, paying no attention to Chu Mu, glanced at Chu Xing and said, “This little brother of yours is really interesting. Lijun, let’s go. Tomorrow, it might be a person dying instead of soul pets.”

Recommendation matches didn’t encourage killing, but if a soul pet master exposed their weakness, allowing the soul pet to directly attack and kill the soul pet master wasn’t prohibited, as long as one could withstand the pressure from the influence behind the victim.

Zhou Lijun wanted to ridicule Chu Mu for exaggerating, but seeing her big brother Zhou Pan already with his back turned, she coldly smirked and quickly followed Zhou Pan.

“Fourth brother, you must teach that woman a lesson tomorrow; I’ve had enough of her.” Chu Ning said.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded. Some people never realize that they are just worthless trash unless their dignity is trampled on.

Upon returning to the Chu family, Chu Ming, Chu Tianheng, and the other members began discussing tactics for tomorrow’s battle.

Partic.i.p.ation order in battle was of great importance in rotation fights, especially when the strength gap was small. The order of who would lead the battle and who would act as the final trump card was crucial.

“Chu Mu, what suggestions do you have? In which order do you think they will appear?” Chu Ming asked.

“No particular suggestion, but I think the first fight doesn’t necessarily have to be won; they will probably send someone strong to take the first win…”

Everyone believed that the first fight must be won, because after winning the first fight, they would know who the second member of the opposing side was and could send someone to counter their attributes accordingly, thus increasing the hope of winning.

Of course, the front-line fighter couldn’t be the strongest because battle had its uncertainties and the strongest must remain as the last line of defense.

Chu Mu’s view was that the weakest should fight first, act as bait to exhaust the opponent’s slightly stronger member.

After admitting defeat, the Chu family could send a second member whose attributes could counter, hence defeating the opponent’s slightly stronger member. This way, they would have practically defeated a slightly stronger opponent with a weak and average member, and the average member could continue to fight and wear down the opponent’s next member.

If the opponent didn’t send a slightly stronger member first, it didn’t matter; weak against weak would be a battle of strength, while weak against strong would be attrition…

Chu Ming and Chu Tianheng both felt that Chu Mu’s opinion made some sense; there was indeed no need to chase after guessing the opponent’s order blindly, adapting to changes seemed more reasonable…

“In fact, the order doesn’t matter…”

Chu Mu added another sentence at the end, but the others didn’t hear it.

Indeed, the order didn’t matter; with Chu Mu as the first, he could complete a sweep all by himself.

Chu Mu suggested putting the weakest first. The irony was that he was tactfully informed that he would be the first to fight.

“It seems like I’ve been keeping too low a profile…” Chu Mu laughed bitterly after learning about the tactical arrangement. It seems that everyone else could save quite some energy tomorrow.

The second round of the finals would be a heavyweight event, held in the grandest Central Square battlefield in Gangluo City.

The square battlefield had a rectangular structure made of soft rock for easy repair. It was 300 meters long and 150 meters wide, with towering white pillars carved with ancient soul pet patterns scattered around. The height of these pillars was about twenty meters.

The white pillars weren’t densely arranged, but distributed in arcs, so as not to obstruct the view of the spectators in the stands while adding some combat obstacles to the battlefield.
