Supreme Tamer

Chapter 302: 180

Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit had already reached the Seventh Rank Eighth Stage, but it had not yet mastered Xuan Crystal. According to his own estimation, a top-tier talented Ice-Feathered Spirit would need to reach the Eighth Stage to comprehend the stronger ice attribute power of a Xuan Crystal.

With a furrowed brow, if Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit possessed a Xuan Crystal, then Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s advantage in stages would be greatly diminished.

Ice Sword Array!

Xuan Crystals condensed, gradually turning into eight-meter-long Xuan Crystal giant swords, hanging upside down and hovering above the Ice-Feathered Spirit!

“Lit~~~~~~~~~~”

Ning let out a long chant, and suddenly under Ning’s control, twenty swords emitted a freezing cold from mid-air and fiercely bombarded downward!

“Crushed Ice Domain.” Lu Tao issued a command to his Ice-Feathered Spirit.

As the spell was chanted, the ground beneath Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit rapidly accumulated thick ice crystals. With a sharp cry from the Ice-Feathered Spirit, the newly condensed ice crystals suddenly shattered and then eerily floated around its body.

Like floating dust, these fragmented ice crystals silently hovered around Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body, resembling countless tiny life forms, moving and combining according to the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s will.

Crushed Ice Domain, a Level 6 Ice Attribute Skill, created countless micro ice crystal entities around the body, which could be combined into various different ice attribute skills – Ice Sword, Ice Wall, Ice Shield, Ice Thorn, Freezing…

“Lit”

Twenty ice swords suddenly fell from the sky and bombarded Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s position with great momentum. Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit began to manipulate the micro ice crystals around its body, constantly forming ice shields to block the ice swords…

“Boom, boom, boom~~~~~~~~~~”

The Xuan Crystal Ice Swords shattered on the Ice Shields, instantly scattering countless fragmented Xuan Crystal ice shards.

“Hmph, what’s the use of having a Xuan Crystal? It’ll all be mine!” Lu Tao sneered coldly and issued a command to his Ice-Feathered Spirit.

Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s eyes suddenly turned pale, and the power of the Crushed Ice Domain rose again. It unexpectedly directly manipulated the shattered Xuan Crystal ice crystals!

Elemental Manipulation!

Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit couldn’t generate a higher level of Ice Attribute crystal like the Xuan Crystal, but it manipulated the shattered Xuan Crystal ice crystals on the ground through the power of Crushed Ice Domain and its own elemental control ability, turning them into its own power!

“Let you taste the Xuan Crystal Ice Sword Array too!” Lu Tao laughed triumphantly. In his eyes, Chu Mu’s control over other Soul Pets might be stronger than his own, but he would not be able to outmaneuver his own elemental Soul Pets.

“Control the Xuan Crystal!” Lu Tao commanded his Soul Pet.

The Xuan Crystals on the ground began to be controlled, slowly floating in mid-air, gradually forming ice frost, and magically turning back into twenty Xuan Crystal ice swords!

Elemental Gate’s control over elemental Soul Pets was indeed unique, being able to transform the power of others into their own abilities. It also taught Chu Mu a special way of fighting.

“Stack!” Lu Tao once again issued a command to his Soul Pet!

Turning others’ Xuan Crystals into their own power, then completing the skill stack, transformed from a passive attack to an active one. Forty ice swords swept through the sky and slammed into the position where the Ice-Feathered Spirit was located.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The ice swords terrifyingly fell around the Ice-Feathered Spirit, blowing the ground apart and causing some noticeable shaking in the entire battlefield.

Forty Xuan Crystal ice swords had a much stronger impact than the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s, almost reaching Level 8!

Lu Tao also roughly guessed that Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s defense was around the seventh-level late stage. For a Warrior Level Ice-Feathered Spirit, having a Seventh Level defense at Sixth Rank Seventh Stage was absolutely rare.

“High defense is useless if your battle techniques are so rigid.” Lu Tao grinned. As a powerful warrior among the Elemental Gate’s young generation, it would be shameful if he weren’t superior to others in the control of elemental Soul Pets.

As the ground around Ning turned to dust and Ning had not set up any defensive measures, the impact of an attack with nearly eighth-level power would definitely cause some injury to Ning.

“Ning, Ice Seal!” Chu Mu gave a cold smile, giving an order to Ning.

Amidst the chaotic ice swords, Ning’s body gradually dissolved, and in the reflection of an Ice Mirror, Ning’s transparent figure slowly appeared!

“What?!” Seeing the Ice-Feathered Spirit suddenly appear in another position, Lu Tao’s eyes widened in shock, completely unprepared for Chu Mu having set a trap during the earlier Ice Wall formation!

The spell was quickly completed, and waves of biting cold spread rampantly! Frost swept through, beginning to freeze Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body. The unprepared Ice-Feathered Spirit immediately had thick Xuan Crystal Ice Crystals form on its body!

“You lost.” Chu Mu said indifferently.

As soon as the words fell, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s second Ice Element skill suddenly appeared, and five Xuan Crystal Ice Thorns instantly appeared around the body of Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit. These Xuan Crystal Ice Thorns did not directly pierce Lu Tao’s Ice-Feathered Spirit, but surrounded its body, trapping it firmly within!

“How is this possible…” The defeat came too quickly, and Lu Tao didn’t have time to react, only able to watch his pet being trapped within the twenty-meter long Xuan Crystal Ice Thorns in a daze.

If the five Ice Thorns had been targeted at his Ice-Feathered Spirit, it would have been heavily damaged. This kind of trapping method meant that the opponent had shown mercy.

“Do you still think your young master is very strong now?” Ye Qingzi slightly turned her head and looked at the astonished old servant indifferently.

Even Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy and Darkflame Sky Demon could easily defeat Lu Tao’s Soul Pet. These two young masters were clearly staying in a small place for too long, not realizing the gap between themselves and the real experts. Real experts, even if their Soul Pets have fully developed, still excel in control, not something mediocre characters could easily provoke.

Thinking of all the nonsense he had just said, only to end up shooting himself in the foot, the old servant’s face showed a touch of embarrassment, “I didn’t expect both of you to be hiding your strength so well, hehe, hehe.”

“Let’s do it again! I can’t believe that I’m not as good as you in controlling Elemental Soul Pets.” Lu Tao was already seething with anger. As a top expert in the Langhe Domain and a member of the Elemental Gate, he didn’t believe he would lose to Chu Mu in an elemental contest.

“You are not my opponent. Wait until you reach the level of a top expert before challenging me.” Chu Mu would not waste time with such an insignificant person and walked towards the edge of the battlefield with an indifferent expression.

There is a real difference between top experts and peak experts. Chu Mu’s current reputation in the Western World allows him to look down upon those young people who claim to be the strongest in their regions. These people simply aren’t qualified to fight with him now.

Lu Tao’s expression had turned very ugly. He wanted to make a move, but considering that Chu Mu was the Nightmare Demon Young Master of the Nightmare Demon Palace, he didn’t dare to do anything for the time being. After all, his Seventh Rank Eighth Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit had indeed lost to Chu Mu’s Sixth Rank Seventh Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit.

Hua Cheng’s strength was much weaker than Lu Tao’s. If Lu Tao wasn’t a match for Chu Mu’s Elemental Soul Pet, then he had even less of a chance to fight Chu Mu. So, Hua Cheng decisively gave up on the idea of challenging Chu Mu.

“Hmph, there are countless experts in the Elemental Gate, one day you will be defeated miserably.” Lu Tao’s tone became colder.

“Oh.” Chu Mu replied indifferently, completely ignoring Lu Tao’s words and slowly walking to Ye Qingzi’s side.

“Let’s go.” Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi nodded, ignoring the two self-righteous young men, and walked towards the outside of Element Square.

Lu Tao and Hua Cheng naturally knew that Chu Mu was not a simple character. Their gazes lingered on Ye Qingzi’s retreating figure, longing for something they couldn’t have. They, who had always been womanizers, had finally seen a top-quality woman, but could only watch her leave with the famous Prison Island King – Chu Mu, making them give up their previous thoughts.

As Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi had just left Element Square, an old man walked up to them. This old man was also the old master who had spoken under the mural earlier.

“Young man, your mastery of the Ice-Feathered Spirit is not bad, it’s rare.” The old man smiled, his face full of wrinkles.

Chu Mu only nodded slightly and didn’t say anything. He thought of the young man with the Ice Colored Glaze mentioned by the old master earlier, and it seemed like something was burning in Chu Mu’s heart.

Ice Colored Glaze, even the Fox Elder had mentioned to himself that it could develop the Ice-Feathered Spirit towards Ice Colored Glaze. However, it was not an easy task for the Ice-Feathered Spirit to master the Ice Colored Glaze. The path of Soul Pets was still long.

“You two don’t seem to be from the Elemental Gate, right?” The old master asked.

“Yeah, we came here to find someone. Could you help us confirm the whereabouts of those two friends?” Ye Qingzi spoke.

“Hehe, you’re looking for those two people from Li City, right? They have spoken with me. They indeed plan to go to Colorful Dome Mountain. I heard that there have been some strange phenomena at Colorful Dome Mountain recently, and it’s possible that some priceless Soul Pets have been born. It’s necessary for you young people to take a look. Fortunes are what everyone dreams of, but not everyone has them. Real fortunes require one’s effort.” The old man smiled.

“Thank you, old master. May I have your name?” Chu Mu asked.

“Me? Everyone calls me Old Master Qing. Hehe…” The old man said with a smile.
