Supreme Tamer

(There is a correction to be made, as when I mentioned in “Kill Cao Yi (Part 1)” that “the second spirit soul of a soul pet master can only handle soul pets at the war general level…”. This statement has become ambiguous, and the original meaning was to indicate that soul masters and soul lords have also experienced the soul warrior level period, when their spirit souls could only ride soul pets at the war general level.)

(In addition, “riding” a soul pet and “signing a soul pact” are not the same concept, no matter what level, humans can sign a soul pact with any soul pet, even a soul pet that is outrageously strong. The only issue is the success rate. But after signing the soul pact, whether or not they can control; whether or not they can make it join the battle; or even ensure it does not betray and run away, these are separate issues.)

(These points were not fully explained in the book, and I apologize for that oversight. The setting of this book is quite complex, and reading it initially can be a bit challenging, but I am very clear on the setting and there is not a single point of confusion. These settings took me nearly half a year to meticulously prepare. They are all rather rigorous and logical, it’s only that my choice of words were not well controlled and the descriptions were not clear enough. I will try my best to improve this in the future.)

Deep in the Jungle

“Sir Yang Zheng, there’s magical light again. That boy seems to be intentionally luring us somewhere by burying scrolls in the ground. Could there be a trap?” asked Yang He, who was standing next to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng snorted coldly, “Huh, what kind of tricks can he play? This little brat has kept us here on this damn island for three years. Even if he is deliberately leading us somewhere, so what? Are you planning to stay in this godforsaken place?!”

Yang He nodded. The Yang family had intended to resolve all the prisoners within a year, recover their family treasure, and immediately return home to obtain their rewards. They had not expected things to go so awry, where they had to extend their stay to a second year. Furthermore, Chu Mu’s interference in the second year caused them to waste another year’s time here.

“We must kill him this time!” Yang Zheng’s fists tightened as he immediately summoned his Winged Soul Pet, the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast!

In three years, Yang Zheng’s Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast had also reached the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage. Its strength was absolutely capable of sweeping across all the known areas of this Prison Island.

Yang He nodded and also summoned his Soul Pet, the Blood Wing Two-eyed Beast, to closely follow behind Yang Zheng.

The Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast was a Mid-ranked – Commander level, while the Blood Wing Two-eyed Beast was one level lower, only a mid-ranked – War General level. Whether in terms of size or aura, the Blood Wing Two-eyed Beast was clearly inferior to the higher-level Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast.

“Sir Yang Zheng, after recovering the family treasure this time and returning to the clan, your status will certainly improve. Your Blood Wing Three-eyed

Beast has reached the Fifth Rank, Ninth Stage; your other two main pets, the

Thunderbolt Elves and Shadow Hair Monster, are now at the Fifth Rank, Sixth

Stage. In addition, you have captured a Commander Level Thousand-leg Toxin Centipede here. Even though it’s only at the Fourth Rank, First Stage now, its combat power will definitely be very strong once it levels up!” Yang He flattered.

“Haha, of course!” Yang Zheng immediately burst into laughter.

It is extremely difficult to sign a soul pact with a commander-level Soul Pet. Sometimes, even a juvenile commander-level Soul Pet of average aptitude can be extremely valuable.

Yang Zheng had captured the Thousand-leg Centipede when it was in its second rank. The biggest gain from his trip to the island was this commander-level Soul Pet. Although its aptitude wasn’t outstanding, its growth speed was much faster than those War General Level Soul Pets!

The commander-level Fourth Rank is entirely unlike the servant or war general level Fourth Rank. When Yang Zheng had the Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast, he barely managed to join the ranks of the prestigious in his clan. If he nurtures the Thousand-leg Centipede, the Yang family would certainly pay serious heed to him.

Although Yang Zheng is the third son of his family, he is considered the most inept and is often overlooked. Now that he has the Thousand-leg Centipede, he believes he can hold his head high!

“By the way, Sir Yang Zheng, that boy’s Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox is extremely top-of-the-line. If he’s subdued, we must catch it…” Yang He, having remembered something, immediately said.

“I know that without you telling me. All of his soul pets are exceedingly valuable. I really wonder just how lucky that boy is!” Yang Zheng said resentfully.

As nightfall descended, Chu Mu decided to spend the night in the same mountain cave where he had before, planning to venture back into the Ice

Falcon Forest, which by now had been thoroughly “spoiled” by the Little Green Worm, the next day.

Like always, Chu Mu didn’t go to sleep as soon as night fell. Instead, he first used his Soul Power to nurture the White Nightmare Demon, then spent some time meditating to recover his Soul Power quickly, only allowing himself to nap when daylight arrived.

Chu Mu was now a Six- thought Spirit Teacher. A Spirit Teacher can summon three soul pets at the same time, and their soul power is very abundant.

However, Chu Mu’s soul power had to constantly feed the White Nightmare Demon, and considering that his first spirit had rebelled and occupied a portion of his power, Chu Mu was now not much different from a Six-thought Soul Master, his Spirit Energy just being slightly stronger.

The growth of the White Nightmare Demon’s strength was neither too fast nor too slow, it had now reached the Fourth Rank, 7th stage.

The White Nightmare Demon was able to participate in battles since it reached the Fourth Rank. Unfortunately, Chu Mu underestimated the level of the White Nightmare Demon. Had it not been for the Demon’s dependency on Chu Mu’s soul power, Chu Mu’s attempt to summon it could have nearly revisited an old tragedy.

Back on the Green Nightmare Demon Island, the strength of the Green Nightmare Demon was at the high-level War Marshal stage. The servants who only reached the Soul Pupil Rank were unable to control the Green Nightmare Demon in battle. Zhao Feng was forced by Liu Zhen to summon the Demon. However, the Demon didn’t fight MO Ye upon Wang Keluo’s command. Instead, its bloodthirsty nature compelled it to lock onto MO Ye.

When Wang Keluo, who was also only at the Soul Pupil Rank, summoned the

Green Nightmare Demon to fight, a rebellion from it was to be expected. It could even have possibly killed its master and devoured his soul.

Humans can sign spiritual contracts with any Soul Pet, but whether or not they can control them is another matter.

Generally speaking, a Soul Pupil can only control a Servant-level Soul Pet, a Soul Warrior can command a War General-level Soul Pet, and a Soul Master can manage a Commander-level Soul Pet.

If one tries to summon a soul pet that is beyond their level, regardless of what stage the soul pet is in, there’s a high likelihood that it will become uncontrollable and rebel.

Initially, Chu Mu assumed that the White Nightmare Demon was a high-ranking Commander-level soul pet. Since he had reached the level of a Soul Master, he should have been able to manage a high-ranking Commander-level soul pet.

But he was wrong. The White Nightmare Demon wasn’t a Commander-level Soul Pet; it had already surpassed that level and had astonishingly reached the Monarch Level! !

Chu Mu’s risky attempt to summon it nearly reenacted a past tragedy, with the overly dominant White Nightmare Demon rebelling. Fortunately, the three and a half years of painstaking nurturing made the White Nightmare Demon somewhat reliant on Chu Mu’s soul power. Chu Mu managed to recall it just in time, preventing the tragedy.

After the event, Chu Mu was left frightened and in a cold sweat, cursing Xia Guanghan for not informing him of just how terrifying the White Nightmare Demon was.

Monarch Level! There are only a handful of these throughout the entire Luo region where Gangluo City is located. That despicable man, Xia Guanghan, had actually made Chu Mu sign a soul pact with a Monarch Level Soul Pet at such a weak stage – it was not much different than him directly killing Chu Mu!

No wonder the growth of the White Nightmare Demon requires countless human corpses. If Chu Mu hadn’t rapidly increased his strength to keep up, he would have merely ended up as another anonymous corpse on the seemingly endless path of the White Nightmare Demon’s evolution!
