Chapter 463: 338: The Strongest of the Second-tier, Hunting Wang Xu
After leaving the Soul Hall, Chu Mu went directly to the Hunting Association.
Perhaps after experiencing the grandeur of the World Throne and the Soul Hall’s different styles, Chu Mu became calm when seeing other astonishing buildings.
When he entered the Hunting Association, Chu Mu remembered the girl Xiao Qin who had enthusiastically helped him sort out the hunting information in Dun City.
So, when entering the Hunting Hall, Chu Mu deliberately asked if the girl was in the hall.
Sure enough, before long, Xiao Qin, dressed in a light pink outfit, came trotting over, her cheeks flushed, looking very cute. In particular, the four-chain earrings on her delicate earlobes swayed as she trotted, setting off her exquisite face…
“Young Master Chu Chen, you’re finally here.” Xiao Qin smiled sweetly, showing a very willing and polite expression to serve Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded, handed his Soul Capture ring to Xiao Qin and said, “There are about ten soul pets in here. Help me sell them in the Hunting Association. I’ll go to the potion shop nearby to buy some potions.”
“Oh, all right. I’ll have the appraiser immediately assess these ten soul pets of yours,” Xiao Qin carefully took the ring and followed Chu Mu’s instructions to help him sell the soul pets he had hunted in the wild.
Chu Mu currently had 60 million on him, and he had to collect another 40 million to buy the Heart of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox.
Although the Nine-tailed Flame Fox’s Heart might be a trap set by Xia Guanghan, Chu Mu still desperately needed this spirit item. Therefore, he first gathered the money, and let Lord Yu help him with the purchase. Presumably, a dignified palace master wouldn’t dare play any tricks even if someone was operating behind the scenes.
Chu Mu purchased about 50 bottles of Level 7 healing potions and prepared all kinds of Level 7 antidotes. In addition, he splurged on buying ten bottles of Level 8 healing potions.
Ten bottles of Level 8 healing potions cost 5 million gold coins, and Chu Mu’s heart ached. However, since he was planning to go to the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, this expensive potion was a must-have!
He spent about 7 million on medicines, and used another 3 million to replenish about two months’ worth of soul pet spirit cores. Here, 10 million was quickly consumed.
Fortunately, Chu Mu hunted many spirit items, corpse materials, soul crystals, and spirit cores along the way. All these items sold for about 10 million, which could just cover this considerable expense.
Xiao Qin’s work efficiency was fast. After Chu Mu finished selling all his miscellaneous items, Xiao Qin handed the space ring containing 40 million gold coins to Chu Mu.
“So fast?” asked Chu Mu, a bit surprised.
“Ah, I’ve been here since I was little and know many uncles. I gave them the ring, and they quickly bought it at an average price. Young Master, you really trust me, leaving these 40 million worth of soul pets in my hands,” said Xiao Qin shyly.
“Yeah, thank you. Oh, Xiao Qin, are there any rewards for the Ancient Wasteland?” Chu Mu asked.
Chu Mu had already informed Palace Master Yu that it would be best if the Eighth-level rewards were in the same Eighth-level Mysterious Realm – the Ancient Wasteland – he had just been to. If there are rewards for the Ancient Wasteland in the Hunting Association, Chu Mu would like to take them all at once, so the money would come quickly.
“Uh, yes…” Xiao Qin nodded, but she quickly realized something and her eyes widened, staring at Chu Mu for a few seconds, “Young Master Chu Chen, the Ancient Wasteland is an Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, are you going there?”
“Can I not check it with my Sixth Level Title?” Chu Mu asked.
Seeing Chu Mu’s expression, Xiao Qin knew that this man was really going to the Ancient Wasteland.
The Eighth-level Mysterious Realm was such a terrifying place, and Xiao Qin knew it all too well. The rewards there were almost all Level 8, so she would never have thought that Chu Mu, who had just been accepting Level 6 rewards, was now planning to go straight for Level 8.
“You can’t check it according to the rules, but if Young Master wants, Xiao Qin can still help you…” said Xiao Qin in a very low voice.
Chu Mu’s face immediately showed a look of surprise. He didn’t expect that this girl from the Hunting Association would have this ability. If he could get an Eighth-level reward from the Hunting Association, plus the rewards from the Soul Hall, he might be able to earn enough 200 million in one trip. The equipment for Zhan Ye, the spirit items for the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and the spirit items for the White Nightmare Demon could all be solved in one go!
Chu Mu waited in the Hunting Hall for a while, but unfortunately just saw Luo Peng, the Hunting Newcomer King of Dun City, coming in from the main entrance.
There was also a dusky man beside Luo Peng, who at first glance seemed to be of the type easily drowned in the crowd. Upon closer inspection, however, one would find the brown pupils of this fellow always carrying a sharp edge, which unconsciously revealed a timidity when looking into them.
“Brother Wang, how could I compare to you in hunting? You alone can now venture into the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm with your strength, while I’m just wandering around the Seventh-level Mysterious Realm.” Luo Peng said with a respectful smile as he walked beside the man.
The status of the dusky man was clearly very extraordinary. As he walked into the Hunting Hall, the hunting staff and members all saluted him, and the dusky man just calmly walked past them.
“It’s Wang Xu. I heard that he recently brought back a medium grade Monarch-level young pet from Grey Kui Forest and sold it for 200 million. Presumably this advance can improve his soul pet by one level!” Chu Mu whispered to the people next to him.
“He’s the strongest in the second tier of this World Decree. In nine months, the World Decree will officially begin, and the team he leads should be able to get a relatively high ranking, bringing glory to our Hunting Association.”
“That’s true. Oh, I heard that Wang Xu used to be just an ordinary servant in the Hunting Association?”
“It’s not a secret now. He doesn’t have any background, and he’s reached this level completely by his own strength.”
When the dark-skinned man known as Wang Xu entered the hunting hall, he immediately became the center of attention, with people discussing him all around Chu Mu.
Since he was a strong contender from the second-tier, Chu Mu naturally had to pay close attention to him, as he would eventually become a competitor in nine months.
“Ahh? You’re here too, what a coincidence!” Soon, Luo Peng discovered Chu Mu, who was sitting leisurely at the Hunting Hall.
Chu Mu didn’t consider Luo Peng a competitor and only gave him an indifferent glance without saying anything.
“Brother Wang, this is Soul Hall Chu Chen, the guy I told you about last time.” Luo Peng didn’t notice Chu Mu’s indifference and intentionally pointed at him while talking to Wang Xu.
“Oh, so you’re the one who defeated Luo Peng. There are indeed quite a few experts hidden in Soul Hall.” Wang Xu stood there, his brown pupils watching Chu Mu closely.
Wang Xu’s gaze wasn’t contemptuous, but he looked at Chu Mu with the attitude of a more mature person, which was similarly uncomfortable. It seemed as if he wanted to settle the score for Luo Peng, and his eyes, which had been tempered by long-term battles, gradually emitted a chilling intent.
Chu Mu’s eyes turned icy. When others exposed their fierceness, Chu Mu’s viciousness would also radiate along with the change in his gaze.
Noticing Chu Mu’s aggression, Wang Xu didn’t hold back and released all his aura!
The black and brown pupils met, like two cold swords intertwining. The invisible killing intent permeated, making the temperature around them drop a few notches!
Standing beside them with an astonished look, Luo Peng observed these two wild beasts. Normally, Luo Peng would frequently adventure in the dangerous Mysterious Realm, but he felt that these two people were more terrifying than powerful and fierce Soul Pets.
“Isn’t that Brother Wang… ah?” Xiao Qin came over, oblivious of the situation. She was about to greet Wang Xu when she suddenly turned pale with fear from the frigid, wild gazes of Chu Mu and Wang Xu.
Seeing the lovely Xiao Qin appear, Wang Xu was the first to retract his overwhelming aura, acting as if nothing happened…
“Little sister Xiao Qin, how have you been?” Wang Xu laughed heartily.
“Good… good…” Xiao Qin hadn’t recovered from the shock, her face pale, her eyes darting between the dark-skinned Wang Xu and Chu Mu, whose beastly presence had faded.
“I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.” After greeting, Wang Xu left without further ado, striding towards the Hunting Association Inner Hall.
Xiao Qin was still in a daze, and Luo Peng had an odd expression on his face.
“Chu Chen, I want to fight you again. Choose a time and place.” After recovering from the surprise, Luo Peng immediately spoke to Chu Mu.
“Let’s talk about it after I return from the Mysterious Realm.” Chu Mu answered indifferently.
“I will be training in the Seventh-Level Mysterious Realm too. We will fight again after we return, in two months. You can pick the battlefield.” Luo Peng was very confident.
After speaking, Luo Peng hurried to catch up with Wang Xu, not waiting to hear whether Chu Mu agreed to the competition or not.
Chu Mu didn’t mind and instead focused on the gradually calming Xiao Qin, secretly wondering about her background since she seemed more than just an ordinary female Hunting staff…
“Is there a bounty in the Ancient Wasteland?” Chu Mu didn’t ask about Xiao Qin’s background, but inquired about what he was most concerned about.
“Yes, there’s a 100 million bounty, but…” Xiao Qin quickly nodded.
Hunting Inner Hall
“No wonder you lost to him. This Soul Hall kid is clearly one of those freaks from Soul Hall.” Wang Xu glanced at Luo Peng and spoke slowly.
“Brother Wang, I only summoned one main pet at that time, and in two months, I will have two main pets that can be promoted to the Eighth-Rank Junior Lord. He won’t stand a chance then.” Luo Peng argued unwillingly.
“You didn’t lose to him because of your Soul Pets. His calmness and composure come from long-term abnormal training. Even if your Soul Pet is stronger than his, the chance of losing is still higher.”
