Supreme Tamer

Chapter 565: Chapter 436: The Second Realm, Hunting in the Di Sheng Domain (Part 1)

The World Rankings were clearly divided into three sections. The leftmost section contained the names of all Soul Pet Trainers who had gained honor in the First Tier!

The middle section contained all the Soul Pet Trainers who had achieved honor in the Second Tier!

Each column represented a stage in a competition, while each row represented ranking order!

Finding one’s name within these ranks was a supreme honor for any Soul Pet Trainer. Most powerful Soul Pet Trainers were striving to have their names appear on this giant rock ranking, even if it was at the very bottom of this giant rock ranking list!

The World Ranking Masters!

This was a type of honor, and simultaneously, they would receive the Glory Badge bestowed by the World’s Contest Organizers. Those who had this Glory Badge were given the title of “World Ranking Youth”. This title, regardless of which region in the world they were at, would earn them countless respect and admiration, and even open numerous doors to them from various powers, granting them many privileges that others could not possess!

So, when the World Rankings were announced, the whole World Plaza was bustling. Countless young experts wanted to know if they could appear on this coveted ranking after their hard work of six years.

Even those who knew their names wouldn’t appear on the World Rankings still flocked to the scene, wanting to see if there were people they knew on the rankings or those they admired.

“Do you remember the guy from the Third Tier who challenged the highest honor of the Second Tier? Let’s see if he’s the first on the Beast Fighting Rankings.” Many people remembered the battle that shook the entire venue ten days ago, so they focused their attention on the Beast Fighting Rankings!

“His Beast Fighting session was the most exciting one, but he didn’t seem to have killed the Tenth Rank Quasi-Monarch Horror Wolf. On the eighth day, Xue Qing from the Soul Pet Palace killed all the fighting beasts in the arena, so the highest honor of the Second Tier should belong to her.”

People looked up, and indeed, the name “Soul Pet Palace – Xue Qing” was engraved on the first place of the Beast Fighting Rankings!

“Xue Qing? I’ve never heard this name before. Is there such a female Soul Pet Trainer in the Soul Pet Palace?” A lot of people who only knew the Young Masters of World City from the supposed Wind and Cloud Rankings were confused.

A hundred meters away from the World Rankings, Chu Mu stood in the crowd, his gaze fixed on the golden name above himself on the Beast Fighting Rankings, a smile playing on his lips.

This situation was expected. On the eighth day, he had already heard the news that a female Soul Pet Trainer had resolved all the fighting beasts during the Beast Fighting Honor Challenge.

“The second place is Soul Hall Chu Chen. It seems that this Xue Qing’s strength is above Chu Chen’s?” The crowd was speculating about Chu Chen’s and Xue Qing’s rankings.

“That may not be the case. I’ve heard that the real experts don’t use full force in the early stages. Everyone saw that battle, Soul Hall Chu Chen has always used Triple Control. Although people think that what he’s summoned are all his main pets, he must have held back somehow. Xue Qing from Soul Pet Palace solved all the fighting beasts with Quadruple Control, her strength may not necessarily be stronger than Soul Hall Chu Chen’s.”

Chu Mu listened to the discussion from the crowd while understanding more clearly in his heart.

It seems that his deduction was correct. There were definitely several powerful experts like Xue Qing in the Second Tier who had never shown up before, and these experts were far above him in terms of strength!

“I remember hearing the name Xue Qing three years ago. She suddenly appeared three years ago and defeated Zhou Qingxing, who was then recognized as the strongest of the Third Tier in the Soul Pet Palace, in one fell swoop. Then… the female Soul Pet Trainer disappeared as abruptly as she appeared. She shocked many young experts in World City at that time, but she didn’t appear in any events afterward. After three years, people forgot about her. But I didn’t expect that this female prodigy would appear again at the World Decree after three years in such a high-profile manner, and even more, her name is on the top of the World Rankings.” Shang Heng, who came to see the World Rankings with Chu Mu, said.

About a hundred meters away from the World Rankings, Shang Heng didn’t exert all his strength in the First Realm, he just symbolically squeezed himself into the World Rankings. You can see his name roughly in the middle.

“When did she finish the Beast Fighting?” Chu Mu asked.

After Chu Mu finished his challenge and the Honor Challenge, he quickly threw himself into Soul Pet training. He did not pay much attention to the subsequent matches.

“45 minutes. She must have brought out her main pet, otherwise it would be impossible to finish in such a short time. Chu Chen, although he didn’t place first, the top 3 are all the highest honors, and there’s a reward of 2.5 billion honor points.” Shang Heng said.

The difference of 500 million wasn’t a significant matter to Chu Mu at the moment. What truly mattered to Chu Mu was those true experts from the Second Tier who continually stepped out from behind the scenes as the World Decree went on!

Chu Mu planned to save the 2.5 billion funds for now, wait for the honor reward of the Second Realm, put together 5 billion, and directly purchase a wood attribute Spirit Item to upgrade the Demon Tree Warrior from Low-grade Monarch to Medium-grade Monarch.

The Demon Tree Warrior’s crowd killing ability and powerful restraining ability were crucial for Chu Mu, especially in some occasions when he could not summon Mo Ye and White Nightmare Demon. Chu Mu felt that it was likely that he would appear in people’s field of vision in the first few realms. In such a situation, the strengths of the Demon Tree Warrior, Night Thunder Dream Beast, Zhan Ye, and Ghost Dome King must be quickly improved. This way, he would stand a chance to continuously receive honor rewards in the first few realms.

By accumulating the rewards, his Soul Pets would then strive to reach the Ninth Rank or even a higher level. Chu Mu’s hope was that after The World Decree, all his Soul Pets would have reached the Ninth Rank. Thus, after the World Decree, Chu Mu would be able to wholeheartedly let his Soul Pets aim for the Tenth Rank for their complete metamorphosis!

…

On the eleventh day, the second realm of The World Decree finally began!

The elimination rate for the first realm was one-third, so it still appeared that tens of thousands of people participated in the second realm, but in fact, tens of thousands of young generation members had already been eliminated.

Due to the special rules of The World Decree, many people carry a lot of expectations while waiting for the next realm after passing one successfully.

Everyone has their strengths – for instance, those who often practice in the wild hope for challenges like hunting, crossing borders, and killing the main pet during the realm traversal.

Those Soul Pet Masters who often challenge various worlds, regions, and cities hope their realms will involve confrontation, challenges, and elimination rounds.

Soul Pet Masters who enjoy competitive events find beast fighting, breakthroughs, and guarding territories … to be their gospel.

Chu Mu was a strong wilderness practitioner who also moonlighted as a hunter. Chu Mu was fortunate that his second realm challenge happened to be what he excelled at – hunting!

Chu Mu had once been able to hunt monarch level soul pets all by himself, an ability not easily achieved by many second-tier strong ones. Now, with his greatly improved strength, this hunting challenge gives Chu Mu a considerable advantage!

“It seems like you have a good chance of earning the honor of this second realm.” Seeing Chu Mu’s carefree grin, Ting Lan knew that he was full of confidence.

“I just hope it doesn’t involve hunting aerial or aquatic soul pets,” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu didn’t own any winged or water system soul pets yet. If the organizers required the capture of aerial or aquatic soul pets, Chu Mu would be in a sorry state.

“There are several areas to choose from in the hunting realm, just don’t choose them. You’re a third-tier member, so you can choose up to the War General level in terms of difficulty. If you run into an undesirable area, no one can blame you for going for the highest honor in the third tier. The highest honor reward in the third tier is also 100 million,” Ting Lan said with a smile.

“100 million is too little. Even a random top 30 from the second realm gets almost higher rewards than the highest honor in the third tier,” Chu Mu replied.

“Well, you decide. I’m going to participate in the elimination round of the second realm, would you like to watch?” Ting Lan gave Chu Mu a gentle smile.”

“Yeah, let’s go watch. My realm traversal starts tomorrow,” Chu Mu nodded.

The elimination round is a very traditional part of The World Decree. This round involved thousands of competitors in continual battles, eliminating each other.

The first, second, and third tiers form one group each, and these three elimination rounds are conducted simultaneously.

In the preliminary rounds of any tier, there are three chances to randomize your opponents. Two victories and one loss would mean successful realm traversal. For those who want to earn glory, their names engraved in the World Ranking of the Elimination Realm, they could enter the rematch…

After getting through the rematch, further eliminations follow. The top three among thousands of competitors in the recurring ten-day elimination round are deemed the highest honor holders of the second realm elimination round, with rankings going on accordingly thereafter.

In the first realm, Ting Lan had also symbolically earned the glory of the World Ranking. Now, in the second realm, Ting Lan expressed her intention to strive for the highest honor.

The strength of Ting Lan’s Linyin Beast had reached the ninth stage, and Chu Mu estimated that she probably possesses three intermediate Monarchs at the ninth stage. Achieving the highest honor in this second realm elimination round shouldn’t be a problem for her. Although Ting Lan isn’t good at wilderness practice, she’s very confident in these kinds of events.

After watching a few of Ting Lan’s battles, Chu Mu start to collect various types of Healing Potions, Recovery Elixirs, and Antidotes to prepare for his second realm hunting challenge.

The next day, Chu Mu was slightly surprised that his second realm hunting challenge would take place within the territory of the Soul Hall.

However, when Chu Mu found out that one of the more than ten territory choices was the highest difficulty Di Sheng Holy Land, he was stunned!

Di Sheng Holy Land!

Di Sheng Holy Land had actually appeared among the highest difficulty options for the second realm hunting!

This was the place Chu Mu had been wanting to enter! It actually appeared abruptly in the highest difficulty option for the second realm’s hunting challenge!
