100 million, this was absolutely a huge sum. If it hadn’t taken a long time and effort to capture the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, Chu Mu might have only had 60 million funds. How could Chu Mu dare to claim 100 million gold coins out of nowhere!

Even with 60 million funds, it would not be easy to come up with 40 million assets within a week.

Rewards like 50 million from Li City weren’t readily available, let alone facing nearly a thousand Gluttonous Insect monsters and strong opponents like Duan Xinhe at that time. Now, even if Chu Mu went to accept such bounty, he might not necessarily complete it.

40 million, 40 million in a week, where could he get all that money!!

Chu Mu finally managed to crawl out of the mountain and wanted to enjoy a comfortable life for a few days, but now he had to worry about this huge sum of money.

The price of an Eighth Level Soul Crystal was between 10 million and 20 million. According to probability, Chu Mu might have to kill a thousand commanders above the Eighth Stage just to get a chance to obtain an Eighth Level Soul Crystal. This method of earning money was not reliable. At least Chu Mu had obtained two Eighth Level Soul Crystals in the first half of the year, but he hadn’t seen a trace of Soul Crystals since then.

If he were to take on bounties, the amount of money given for a Level 7 Bounty would usually range from 5 million to 20 million.

It wouldn’t be a big problem for Chu Mu to complete a Level 7 Bounty with his current strength, but the problem was that most of these Level 7 bounties required crossing mountains, and often needed a team. It would be difficult to complete them without one or two months.

If the distance was closer, Chu Mu had confidence in completing the task within half a month. After all, he was now an expert who controlled pure monarch-level Soul Pets. However, with only a week’s time now, to raise 40 million, Chu Mu felt that he had to tirelessly struggle for a month, which would be a great torment on his nerves…

“40 million… 40 million…” Chu Mu was almost in despair as he walked out of the Soul Hall.

As expected, Soul Pet Masters were the richest and poorest profession in the world. This was just the Spirit Item needed for one Soul Pet. If all of his Soul Pets were so consuming, Chu Mu would have to spend his life in poverty for them.

“Wuuwuuwuu”

Mo Ye lay on Chu Mu’s shoulder, looking helpless as well.

“Young Master, did you forget the Dun City Annual Tournament?” Fox Elder’s voice suddenly floated out.

“How could I forget such a thing!” Chu Mu slapped his head and exclaimed.

Chu Mu’s mind had been weighed down by the 40 million, making his brain less agile.

Almost every authoritative event had generous rewards. To win a Level 7 Title, Chu Mu had to reach the Top 10, and the rewards for the Top 10 should be very generous.

“Just now, I saw that the Top Ten have rewards worth 50 million. In other words, as long as you enter the Top Ten, you’ll definitely get a prize of 50 million,” Fox Elder said.

“The Top Ten has 50 million rewards. Why are the rewards for this event so high? Is it because Dun City is a very rich city?” Chu Mu asked.

Generally speaking, the top ten rewards for annual events in larger Domain Cities only amounted to around 10 million, while the top ten in Boundary Cities were about 20 million gold coins.

“Young Master, don’t celebrate too early. You remember what the Soul Hall staff said, right? It’s the Annual Tournament of Dun City…” Fox Elder reminded him.

“Yeah, many regions, Earth Realms, and famous cities all hold these annual tournaments…” said Chu Mu.

“Your thinking has been confined to the youth for a long time.” Fox Elder shook his finger and said in a scholarly tone, “This so-called annual event is not entirely held for the youth. That is to say, the opponents you face are likely to include middle-aged members as well. Of course, the elderly members won’t participate, as it has become customary for the elderly not to participate in various events.”

As Fox Elder said this, Chu Mu finally realized it.

Indeed, the Soul Hall member had not mentioned the prefix “youth” when talking about the annual event earlier. This meant that Soul Pet Masters under the age of forty could participate!

All of Chu Mu’s Soul Pets had reached the monarch level. Compared to a single Earth Realm, there should not be many opponents of the same strength as Chu Mu among the younger generation. Therefore, when it came to the Top Ten in events, Chu Mu was confident that he could win.

However, if there were no age restrictions for this event, Chu Mu would have to face the best of the youth and middle-aged generations of Dun City. It would not be easy to achieve the Top Ten!

“Young Master should be glad that this is not the most authoritative event in Dun City. Those with real strength wouldn’t easily expose their strength in such events. If it were the most authoritative event, even reaching the top hundred would be difficult for you.”

“I remember that the most authoritative event in Dun City is the Dun City Boundary Tournament. It seems to be held every four years, gathering experts from several surrounding Earth Realms. It’s more grand than many Earth Realm events and is considered a fairly authoritative event. Now this kind of annual event usually involves second-class experts from these forces attending, or else wandering Soul Pet Masters might participate. The real experts are mostly preparing for the grand Boundary Tournament…” Fox Elder said.

Upon hearing Fox Elder’s words, Chu Mu was even more at a loss.

Chu Mu was well aware that there was a gap between himself and the middle-aged experts. If this were an authoritative event like the Boundary Tournament, reaching the Top Hundred would be difficult for Chu Mu, let alone making it to the rematch.

“Young Master, you should also participate in this kind of competition without age restrictions. At this moment, your thinking must not be limited to the younger generation. Fighting against those experienced Soul Pet masters will allow your strength to improve faster. As for whether you can get a ranking, let’s see how it goes. It’s quite a heavy burden for you to get the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox at your current level.” Fox Elder said.

As Fox Elder said, even though achieving the Top Ten was almost impossible to accomplish, Chu Mu still decided to give it a try!

After a day of rest, Chu Mu made sure all his Soul Pets maintained their fullest fighting power.

Early the next morning, Chu Mu went to attend his first match in Dun City’s grand arena as per the invitation.

The Dun City Annual Tournament consisted of five games. Winning four consecutive games could basically guarantee entry into the Top Twenty.

The fifth game was the final, selecting the ten ultimate winners, who could all generally win prizes worth 50 million.

It’s worth mentioning that among the events in various big cities, the top ten are rarely allowed to continue fighting to determine the first, second and third place…

To gauge the strength of a family, people usually use the number of members who made it into the Top Ten.

As for who among the Top Ten is stronger or weaker, these strong ones can challenge each other to define their rankings. Of course, there are also some analysts who will rank them based on their Soul Pets and strength.

In fact, many variables can affect the battle between Soul Pet Masters, and it’s tough to judge their strength based on just one or two battles.

At this level, Soul Pet Masters have many Soul Pets, and the choice of lineup, tactics, methods of restraint, skills during the fight, the potential outbreak of the Soul Pets, coordination between Soul Pets, the command of the Soul Pet Master, the release of soul skills, and many other factors come into play…

With so many variables, a slight deviation could affect the outcome. The performance of each Soul Pet Master and their Soul Pets can never be constant. Therefore, it’s not straightforward to determine who is stronger or weaker based on just one battle.

Many times, the so-called First Place in the event could often lose to the runner-up in everyday matches…

These variable matchups make the rankings somewhat arbitrary, so the mainstream competitions are generally divided into several tiers.

The Event Champion generally refers to the Top 10 experts.

First Runner Up in the Event refers to the Top 20 experts.

Second Runner-up in the Event refers to the Top 30 experts.

By this rule, the rewards are also divided accordingly.

For example, in the Dun City Annual Tournament, the Top 10 contestants who were the Event Champions received prizes worth 50 million or converted them into gold coins.

The Top 10 contestants who were the First Runner Up received a 30 million reward. The Second Runner-up received a 10 million reward.

Fox Elder conservatively estimated that Chu Mu could reach at most the Second Runner-up level and barely get a 10 million reward.

To obtain a 30 million First Runner Up reward, it would be quite challenging and required exceptional performance.

And to become the Event Champion, the possibility was almost zero…

10 million is not enough to complete the 100 million gold coins order, so Chu Mu must get into the First Runner Up. As for the remaining 10 million, he would think of other ways to make up for it.

To be the Event First Runner Up, there is only one Sixth Level Title. Soul Hall’s title is also open to all ages of Soul Pet Masters, so it’s not that easy for Chu Mu, who belongs to the young generation, to get a Seventh Level Title.

Moreover, Soul Hall’s Seventh Level Title is much more significant than the Nightmare Demon Palace’s Seventh Level Title…

“Young Master, a certain Sir is interested in your Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird. It seems she wants to get to know you as well. Knowing that you are participating in the Annual Tournament, she has specially come to watch. Do you want me to introduce her?” asked the Soul Hall staff member following Chu Mu.

The preliminaries were about to begin, and Chu Mu still didn’t know who his opponent was. To his surprise, someone was interested in buying his Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird so soon, which was good news.

“Let’s talk about it after I finish this battle,” Chu Mu didn’t look at the audience seats and strode into the spacious battlefield when he heard the referee announce his name.

Since he was facing middle-aged experts, Chu Mu must not underestimate the Annual Tournament, even in the preliminaries.
