“It’s time for an early trade.” Ting Lan saw that Chu Mu had already raised his hand to signal, and she didn’t mind Chu Mu’s impolite gesture, and said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu didn’t think much of it either. Challenging one’s limits was one thing, and whether the opponent was someone he should challenge at this stage was another. There was nothing wrong with admitting defeat, and Chu Mu had absolute confidence in surpassing the woman in front of him in one or two years.
Chu Mu handed the Soul Capture Ring to the woman and asked, “I want to get a Level 8 Title, is there any faster way?”
If he could get a Level 8 Title, Chu Mu could buy the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox for 70 million, which would definitely be within his capacity.
Ting Lan shook her head with a smile and teased, “If you donate all your soul pets, there might be hope.”
“…” Chu Mu had already lost one match, and he must win the next two matches, otherwise, he would not be able to advance to second place.
Ting Lan took the Soul Capture Ring handed over by Chu Mu, probed into it with her Soul Sense, and after confirming that the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird inside was what she needed, a gentle and beautiful smile appeared on her face.
From her expression, it was obvious that Ting Lan really liked the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird.
“If you want to quickly upgrade your title, going to World City will be faster, as World City will provide you with more opportunities.” Ting Lan said to Chu Mu with satisfaction after putting away the soul pet.
“I don’t think I will step into World City until my strength is strong enough,” said Chu Mu.
“I can tell that you must be a Soul Pet Master who has been practicing outside for a long time. In fact, many Soul Pet Masters return to the city after practicing outside for a relatively long time and when they find that their strength improves slowly. They will use a very direct and purposeful method to enhance their strength, which is relatively effective. In addition, there are many people in the city who have the same level of strength as you or are stronger than you. As long as you want, you can generally find a suitable opponent.”
Ting Lan seemed like a person who didn’t like to talk much, but she seemed to be in a good mood since she got the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, so she gave Chu Mu, a young man with infinite potential who had just joined Soul Hall, a friendly hint.
“Well, I’ll think about it,” nodding, Chu Mu said.
Ting Lan was not wrong. At Chu Mu’s current level, his Soul Pet Combat Power Level had reached Monarch level, and there were gradually fewer resources in the wild that could satisfy Chu Mu’s high demand. Even if there were any resources available, he would often encounter some competitors.
Although the wilderness is the best test to stimulate potential, when looking for such a place of experience and rich resources, Chu Mu would unavoidably waste a lot of time.
“Young Master, I strongly recommend that you should enter the City of Strong Ones for practice. Just like now, if you don’t step into the gathering place of experts in the city, you will never know that there is such a powerful female Soul Pet Trainer.” Master Li’s voice slowly drifted over.
“What, do you also recommend me to go directly to World City?” Chu Mu asked.
Chu Mu thought that if he entered World City now, he would most likely be defeated by many of his peers, not to mention those who were older than him.
“Young Master, you are actually in a very awkward position right now. In fact, before this, you should have focused on upgrading the stages of your soul pets instead of strengthening their attributes… Now that your Soul Pet Combat Power Level has reached the Monarch level, your stages are relatively low. In other words, if you go to some ordinary places for practice, you won’t get any Spirit Items that can strengthen your soul pets, and it becomes purely a test of combat experience. In higher-level places like Monarch Territory, you wouldn’t dare go there because your soul pets’ stages are too low.” Master Li said.
“So you’re saying that I have to be annoyed by the high Combat Power Level of my Soul Pets?” Chu Mu’s words implied that Master Li could have warned him earlier, rather than waiting until now.
“Of course not. Having a high Combat Power Level is an advantage. You can skip the Sixth-level Mysterious Realm and go directly to the Seventh-level Mysterious Realm. The Seventh-level Mysterious Realm is just right for ordinary experts, but for someone like yourself who has developed a very high level of wilderness survival skills, it becomes a bland challenge.”
“If you have plenty of time, you can take your time and slowly upgrade your Soul Pets to the Eighth Stage, and then go directly to the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm. The problem is that you need to improve your strength quickly, and your strength is stuck in this awkward position where the seventh level is not enough, and you are not brave enough to go to the eighth level… So, the best way is to go to the city, fight with various experts, cross this threshold, and then make higher plans…”
Master Li was an experienced old man after all, and he could still analyze these details. When Liu Binglan asked this old mess to follow Chu Mu, it was indeed helpful as it would make Chu Mu’s path of practice smoother and help him avoid taking some detours.
Chu Mu didn’t want to exchange pointers with the experts in World City, but the problem was that Chu Mu couldn’t let Mo Ye appear while maintaining the level as the Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox.
Even with the White Nightmare Demon inside, Chu Mu didn’t dare to let it appear easily. Only when he chose to practice outside could Chu Mu confidently summon these two Soul Pets.
Leaving the battlefield, Chu Mu thought seriously about the matter and finally decided that he needed to enter World City, combining practice outside with exchanging pointers with others. When exchanging pointers with others, he would use the identity of Soul Hall Young Master Chuchen, while practicing outside would be the identity of Prison Island King – Chu Mu, so as to fully train all his Soul Pets.
And since he was going to use dual identities, Chu Mu had to strictly separate his Soul Pets.
Chu Mu had thought about this issue before. When he was in the identity of the Prison Island King – Chu Mu, the Soul Pet Lineup would be: White Nightmare Demon, Mo Ye, Ice-Feathered Spirit, Demon Tree Warrior…
When he was in the identity of Soul Hall Young Master – Chu Chen, the lineup would be: Zhan Ye, Ice-Feathered Spirit, Demon Tree Warrior, Night Thunder Dream Beast, Ghost Dome King.
Zhan Ye, Ice-Feathered Spirit, and Demon Tree Warrior are all mainstream Soul Pets, and their repeated appearances don’t have much impact. Of course, due to Zhan Ye’s unique combat ability, it’s easy for it to become a symbol, so Chu Mu has to single out Zhan Ye separately.
Zhan Ye has unlimited potential. As long as its stage is raised, it will definitely be able to stand alone like the White Nightmare Demon and Mo Ye. Therefore, Soul Hall Young Master Chu Chen’s identity will probably still rely on Zhan Ye to deal with powerful opponents.
Anyway, Chu Chen’s identity has slightly weaker strength, so Chu Chen the Young Master needs to diligently train!
As for the Prison Island King – Chu Mu, he should work even harder in his cultivation because the enemies he will face with this identity are incredibly strong!

“If I’d known she wanted the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else. I should have taken this opportunity to show off my hunting prowess…” Luo Peng mumbled to himself as he touched his chin, his eyes fixed on Ting Lan, who was walking slowly towards them.
“It’s rare to see you, wild child.” Ting Lan said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile when she saw Luo Peng.
Luo Peng grinned, showing a rare bit of shyness and restraint on his arrogant, confident face.
Teenager Teng Hai sneakily stared at Luo Peng, seeing through this guy who wasn’t good at hiding his emotions, and quietly laughed in a suppressed voice.
“Getting the strongest shouldn’t be a big problem for Sister Ting Lan this time, right?” Luo Peng, afraid that he would reveal more, hurriedly used his words to distract.
“There are still two matches left, it’s hard to say…” Ting Lan said.
“At least you’ll be the runner-up, I don’t think the person in the fourth match can compete with you.” Luo Peng mysteriously smiled and said.
“I hope so.” Ting Lan noticed Luo Peng’s tone was a little strange, but she didn’t think much of it.
After casually chatting for a few moments, Ting Lan seemed eager to sign the soul pact with the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, so she didn’t linger here for too long and returned to the Soul Hall.
After Ting Lan left, Teng Hai stayed by the side of his idol, constantly giving Luo Peng hints: “Even I can see what you’re thinking, and my sister, being so smart, must have figured it out too…”
“Alright, I admit it, but I won’t be so rash.” Luo Peng quickly returned to his usual appearance.
“Indeed, before your strength surpasses my sister, you can only hold it in your heart. How long do you think it will take to surpass her? Even though my sister has high standards, it’s hard to say if someone stronger will make a move first…” said Teng Hai.
“I don’t know, so I wanted to take this opportunity to see the gap between her and my strength.” said Luo Peng.
Luo Peng is Dun City’s first Hunting Rookie King, and it’s hard to find a rival among his peers in the surrounding Earth Realms. But this young expert at the peak has even higher aspirations; he can’t be satisfied with his current achievements.
“This time? You mean you’re participating too? And you’ll meet her in the competition?” Teng Hai said in surprise.
“Yes.” Hunting Newcomer King Luo Peng nodded.
“Ah, so that guy wearing the mask was you, aren’t you just making things difficult for yourself?” Teng Hai said.
“Don’t worry, I’m just exploring. I won’t really fight. At least I can’t let her recognize my identity. When the time is right, I will admit defeat. I don’t want to exhaust myself in the fifth match and fight against my opponent. My goal this time is to be the runner-up, and if I don’t achieve that, I don’t think I’m worthy of her.”
“You’re setting too high a standard for yourself. This is a competition for the middle-aged generation. Getting the runner-up won’t be that easy. And you can’t change Soul Pets during the battle, which is also unfavorable for someone like you who has an average Soul Pet strength…” said Teng Hai.
“It’s okay, only continuous high-difficulty challenges can make me stronger.” Luo Peng said very seriously.
Teng Hai looked at the man in front of him, who was a few years older than him, and felt the determination of his faith. A strong desire to become stronger germinated deep in his heart as well…
“Do you know who your opponent is in the fifth match?”
“My opponent should be Qi Mo, a member of the Soul Pet Palace who won against Chu Chen in the fourth match.” Luo Peng said.
