Chapter 963: Chapter 829: Chu Mu vs Ye Wansheng?

“He’s very formidable; you may not be his match,” Shen Yue felt that it would be safer to have Shen Mo make a move, to ensure that the guy got taught a lesson, so he wouldn’t always come to harass her.

“Single control, if we’re both Intermediate Emperor level, there shouldn’t be a problem,” Chu Mu said.

“Emperor-level battles are generally single control,” Shen Yue added, her gaze inquisitively turning towards Shen Mo.

Shen Mo nodded his head, giving the signal for him to make the move.

“In that case, would Young Master Chu like to arrange another time, or would you like to have the competition now?” Shen Yue asked.

“Now is fine,” Chu Mu couldn’t sit still and thought it would be good if he could practice more.

“Alright then, I will notify your opponent now. Also, our arena has some rules for Soul Emperors; both sides must not reveal their names and true identities,” Shen Yue said.

In the arena, the emphasis is on competition. At the Soul Emperor level, more people care about their reputation and position. If they lose in a competition, having it spread could easily affect their reputation outside. Hiding their identities is also how the arena better satisfies those Soul Emperors who purely want to compare strengths.

By default, identities are hidden from each other. If a contestant doesn’t mind revealing themselves, the arena won’t stop them. After all, some Soul Emperors who often come to the arena can confirm their identities by their Soul Pets.

As for concealing identities, Chu Mu didn’t mind; since it was the rule of the arena, he would comply.

Ning Man’er loved excitement and couldn’t sit still for a moment; her previous gloom and fear had dissipated like smoke.

Chu Mu was sitting in the Competition Hall, casually chatting for a bit when Shen Yue, who hadn’t been gone long, returned with a frosty expression.

“How come you’re back so soon?” Shen Mo looked at Shen Yue with confusion.

Even if Shen Yue went to notify that youth, it shouldn’t have been so quick, right?

“That guy just arrived!” Shen Yue bit her teeth, her expression one of extreme loathing.

Shen Mo laughed, it seemed that the kid really was persistent.

“Young Master Chu, I’ve notified him, and he has accepted your challenge. The location is the Gravel Battlefield in the north of the city, and the time is set for when the sun tilts in the afternoon,” Shen Yue told Chu Mu.

“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded. The tilting sun was around 3 o’clock in the afternoon. He could simply take Ning Man’er for a stroll in the food street, then take a walk before heading over.

…

…

“Hey, I don’t believe I can’t deal with you before leaving Spirit City!” On the street, a confident youth ambled along leisurely, his eyes occasionally glancing at the young ladies passing by.

“Man, the women of Spirit City really are fetching.” His gaze naturally fell on a woman ahead of him in a swaying skirt, silently praising her as he watched her walk, her buttocks bouncing so tantalizingly!

Ye Wansheng usually came to the arena to tease Shen Yue as a daily routine.

However, when he just got there, Shen Yue said someone had been arranged to be his opponent.

Ye Wansheng had also been feeling bored in Spirit City; Ye Qingzi was immersed in Spirit Art, preparing for the upcoming Spirit Art competition.

Ye Wansheng had already sparred with those from the arena recently, and now there was finally another daredevil who was making him secretly gleeful.

Over the past four years, Ye Wansheng could truly say he had prospered, with no major setbacks on the road to increasing his strength, and he had encountered quite a few adventures, boosting his strength so fast even he himself was astonished.

Now, not to mention the Young Generation, even if measured against the entire Wanxiang Realm, the only ones who could pose a threat to him would probably be those trace position Strong Ones from the Soul Covenant and above.

But there were many Experts in Spirit City, so Ye Wansheng dared not be too ostentatious. Hence, whenever he fought in the arena, he would always hide his identity well. After all, this city was under the jurisdiction of a great enemy, and exposure would lead to significant trouble.

There was still time, so Ye Wansheng returned to the courtyards he rented, only to see Ye Qingzi, who rarely ventured out, standing in the courtyard.

“Rarely out to soak in the sun, have you succeeded?” Ye Wansheng asked.

“Just a bit more to go,” Ye Qingzi replied indifferently.

Ye Wansheng wanted to say more, but he found it exceptionally difficult to communicate with his younger sister recently, so he changed the subject, “This afternoon I’m going to the northern arena. There’s a daredevil challenging me. You should get out, too. You’re too gloomy…”

Ye Wansheng’s playful tone towards his opponent was because he could tell that that person was probably brought in by Shen Yue to deal with him. Ye Wansheng wasn’t afraid; with his strength on display, he didn’t believe the person Shen Yue could get would be a match for him.

“I won’t go,” Ye Qingzi shook her head. She had no interest in Ye Wansheng’s battles.

“Alright, alright. Remember, no reckless use of Spirit Master skills,” Ye Wansheng had no choice but to warn her.

Ye Qingzi couldn’t be bothered to respond, standing in the sunlight, staring at the shadow of the courtyard wall, she seemed lost in thought, or perhaps pondering something.

Ye Wansheng, feeling helpless, returned to his room and meditated for a while.

…

…

The sun slanted, casting a pale yellow glow over the city filled with spiritual energy.

To the north of the city, where lush green plants should have been thriving, there abruptly appeared a battlefield composed of countless tightly packed hills.

The ground of this battlefield was transformed by Rock Type Soul Pets, making it a hundred times stronger than the normal ground, barely able to withstand the destruction of Emperor-level creatures.

Right on time, Chu Mu arrived as planned, accompanied by an excited-looking young beauty.

Just to be safe, Chu Mu also brought the White Nightmare Emperor, so at least Ning Man’er wouldn’t be without protection while he was fighting.

The battlefield was mostly open space, as the owner of the arena wouldn’t bother building any flashy battlefield structures. Those structures were almost disposable, likely to be destroyed completely in a single battle.

Stepping onto the gravel-laden ground, Chu Mu spotted a figure in the distance, nearly reduced to a black dot—that must be his opponent, who, like himself, wore a mask to conceal their identity.

There weren’t many spectators, as these fights were not open to the public and usually attended by only a known few.

Scattered throughout the vast battlefield were many tall stone platforms, almost a thousand meters high, intended for the spectators, although they were not safe since they could easily be destroyed by Intermediate Emperor-ranked creatures. The best way to watch was actually to bring one’s own Winged Soul Pet.

After taking Ning Man’er to the top of a stone platform, Chu Mu returned to the midst of the gravel battlefield.

By then, Chu Mu was quite close to his opponent, who seemed to be a youth as well. His hair appeared to be carefully styled to flutter freely in the wind, and he dressed unusually, looking like a dashing young master when silent.

“Miss Shen, if I win this fight, will you agree to be my woman?” Suddenly, the masked man spoke with a muffled voice, straightforwardly flirting with Shen Yue.

Standing on the rock platform, looking down at that shameless man, Shen Yue’s face turned alternating shades of red and white, then tugged at her brother Shen Mo’s sleeve, saying indignantly, “Brother, do you see? Did I exaggerate even a little bit?”

“This…” Shen Mo’s face also stiffened; someone was actually flirting with his sister right in front of him.

This kid must be tired of living, tired of living indeed!

Chu Mu stood there without much change in expression, just feeling that someone who had reached this level of strength should not be engaging in street rascal behavior to provoke women. No matter what, Shen Yue should be a woman of high status within the Nightmare Demon Palace.

“Brother Chu, is everything okay?” Shen Mo then communicated to Chu Mu using Mental Sound.

“I understand,” Chu Mu replied, not waiting for Shen Mo to say more, pretty much grasping what Shen Mo intended.

“Hehe, thanks in advance. It’s indeed inconvenient for me to make a move,” Shen Mo said with a laugh.

Obligingly, Chu Mu understood that Shen Mo wanted him to teach that kid a lesson.

…

“Before the duel begins, let’s reiterate the rules once again. First, the fight should be stopped when one concedes, without endangering life. Second, please try not to leave the gravel battlefield to avoid disturbing the peace of the city. Third, each party is to fight with only one Soul Pet…” The Referee called out the rules from a high place.

The Referee was an elderly man in his fifties, who also seemed to be a Soul Emperor, specifically responsible for ensuring fairness in sparring between Soul Emperors.

“The duel begins. Both parties, summon your Soul Pets,” the Referee said.

To ensure a fair duel, Soul Pets had to be summoned simultaneously to prevent targeted summons.

Chu Mu didn’t hesitate and began to chant a spell right away, summoning the Ghost Dome King, which was of Intermediate Emperor rank, well-suited for the gravel battlefield.

The Ghost Dome King emanated a chilling ghostly aura. Once Chu Mu had fully summoned it to the battlefield, the gravel began to shake unnaturally!

“Roar!!!!”

With a mighty swing of the King’s Ghost Sword, the Ghost Dome King stood dominantly on the vast gravel battlefield. The sand stretching for kilometers around its feet seemed ready to obey its command, at any time turning into its weapon of attack and defense!

“Indeed, an Intermediate Emperor… Brother, how come I’ve never heard you mention knowing such an outstanding person before?” Shen Yue watched the Ghost Dome King intently, voicing her admiration.

“I’ve just met him not long ago as well,” Shen Mo said, shifting his gaze to Qian Qin, who came to watch the battle with them, hoping to learn more about Chu Mu from her.

Qian Qin couldn’t exactly say that this guy was the King of the World Realm, so she shook her head, indicating that she had only a casual acquaintance with the man.

“Qian Qin, could it be that he is the one in your heart… Is that why you feel too shy to share?” Shen Yue teased Qian Qin half-jokingly.

Qian Qin’s cheeks reddened, and she shook her head, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense, in my opinion, he is the one in your heart…”

“How could that be, that rogue!” Shen Yue rolled her eyes.

The two young ladies bantered with each other, while the big man Shen Mo opened his mouth as if there was nothing here for him to participate in, helpless, and so he focused on the situation on the battlefield instead.
