Chapter 1509 - Chapter 1509 Chapter 1369 Fleeing Without a Battle

Chapter 1509: Chapter 1369: Fleeing Without a Battle Chapter 1509: Chapter 1369: Fleeing Without a Battle Blood was everywhere, drenching many of the Floating Mountains in red, giving anyone who looked upon them a feeling of trepidation.

Chu Mu stood on the battlefield, his War Beast Mo Ye, Little Hiding Dragon, and Dream of Oblivion returning to his side, awaiting the next battle.

No more words were needed; no one dared to step forward to challenge him anymore. The only things left on the Floating Mountain Battlefield were Chu Mu, Chu Mu’s Soul Pets, and astonishing trails of blood.

“Can we officially start the finals now?” Chu Mu raised his gaze, fixing it on Tang Ang.

Tang Ang’s face was devoid of expression, and his emotions unreadable.

“With such petty skills, what gives you the right to be so arrogant? It’s nothing more than a few vicious tricks!” Han Erxing was the first to speak disdainfully.

Tang Zhuo and Han Erxing remained silent, their attention remained on Chu Mu’s War Beast Mo Ye. If this war beast still possessed the Limb Regeneration ability, its strength might very well enter the immortal realm, posing a great threat to them!

Tang Zhuo knew that he was definitely going to have a match against him, and although the outcome of setting up this trap was dissatisfactory to Tang Zhuo, at least he had gained some insight into the opponent’s strength.

“When dealing with this War Beast Mo Ye, be sure to kill it immediately; otherwise, there will be endless trouble,” Xin Xin whispered to Tang Zhuo.

Tang Zhuo nodded and replied, “Yeah, if we suppress his Soul Pet, he won’t be able to stir up any trouble.”

Tang Zhuo and others’ biggest confidence came from their Immortal level; this battle had not touched upon that realm.

“Guo Shi, it’s your turn, take care of his Soul Pet,” Han Erxing said, somewhat frustrated.

Guo Shi was taken aback, suddenly realizing he was the first finalist to face this brutal man!

“Does he intend to continue fighting?” Guo Shi said, somewhat absentmindedly.

Chu Mu did not return to his seat. Instead, his gaze stayed on the Main Judge, signaling he could continue with the fight from just now.

Now, no one opposed Chu Mu taking Gao He’s place in the final event anymore.

Chu Mu’s continued challenge once again caused a stir among the Floating Mountain seats; it was shocking that there was such a battle maniac in this world.

The Main Judge announced the fight between Chu Mu and Guo Shi, and the battle moved into the originally scheduled formal finals.

However, it was evident to everyone that Guo Shi, upon stepping into the battlefield, had lost his previous composure and arrogance and appeared cowering instead.

Down in the stands, Huang Yufei saw Guo Shi’s squirmy behavior and burst into laughter, “Ha ha, even you have such a day, Guo Shi, you cur. Just wait for your death. Chu Mu must entertain him well and let him remember how he insulted us that day.”

Li Qingqing, who was also excited, felt Chu Mu’s wild gesture was incredibly dazzling. Normally, she liked the elegant and distinguished type like Xin Xin, but today, seeing Chu Mu standing proudly among the Group of Heroes, striking fear into all the young contenders with his vigorous spirit, she suddenly felt an admiration!

“Do you know him?” asked a young contender next to Huang Yufei in astonishment.

Huang Yufei instantly puffed out his chest proudly and said with a smug face, “Of course, we are as close as brothers.”

“Guo Shi really is an irksome person; seeing him like this does indeed feel satisfying. But on reflection, I always thought New Moon Land was a minor place. I only found out from people around here that New Moon Land is now no less significant than some Earth Realms. Plus, with such a King, I suppose New Moon Land must also be a place with backbone,” the young contender commented.

The younger generation is easily swayed; just like before, a few words from Tang Ang, meant to show bias, had caused the dissatisfaction of everyone.

But as the situation changed, so did their mentality.

Additionally, at just the right moment, Lady Gao and Yu Suo had the true story penetrated into the crowd, letting everyone know that this was simply a trap that Tang Ang and Tang Zhuo, among other Top Level figures, had set for Chu Mu. Their attitude towards New Moon Land and this bloodthirsty King changed once again.

At that point, many people watched Guo Shi with the attitude of spectators at a play.

Guo Shi was notoriously ill-natured, and not just Huang Yufei–most of those in the arena who had less status than him had suffered his mockery and ridicule. Now that Guo Shi, however unwilling, stepped into the arena, many were eager to see how he would be miserably defeated.

Guo Shi’s strength was only slightly superior to Han Qi and He Zhen’s. Considering how miserably those two were defeated despite joining forces and adding others of High-Level Master and Peak Master Level, what chance did Guo Shi stand alone against Chu Mu? Perhaps one of Chu Mu’s War Beast Mo Ye would be enough to annihilate all of Guo Shi’s Soul Pets.

Guo Shi initially had the attitude of someone enjoying a show, but now he became the object of the audience’s entertainment. Finally, after dragging his feet for so long, he managed to take his place on the Floating Mountain Battlefield.

Looking at the blood-strewn Floating Mountain Battlefield, and the corpses of some Peak Master Level contenders on the adjacent floating rocks, Guo Shi’s complexion grew even uglier, occasionally glancing back at Tang Zhuo and Han Erxing.

“We can begin,” said the Main Judge in an even tone.

Guo Shi paused, not at all ready for battle, and quickly called out to the Main Judge: “Wait.”

“If you have something to say, just say it,” the Main Judge said impatiently.

“The formal finals aren’t supposed to be deadly, right?” Guo Shi said.

After Guo Shi spoke these words, they immediately provoked a roar of laughter from most of the competitors in the arena.

The majority of Soul Pet Masters had experienced all sorts of hardships, especially those with no background. They had clawed their way to their Dominator Level status through slaughter, so a bit of bloodshed hardly affected them at all.

However, Guo Shi, a contender in the finals from Struggle Capital, was not only trembling in the face of so many corpses but had also asked such a question, which was utterly laughable.

Guo Shi’s face turned beet red with embarrassment upon hearing the laughter and he retorted, “I just want to understand the game rules, to avoid breaking any regulations while battling him!”

Han Erxing and Tang Zhuo both twitched at the corners of their mouths. It was well-known that Guo Shi was a bully to the weak but feared the strong, yet being ridiculed in public like this was truly a disgrace!

Yin Ce from Monster Beast Palace shook his head with a sigh. If he had known Guo Shi was so cowardly, he wouldn’t have let him participate in the Outstanding Competition. It was simply dragging Monster Beast Palace’s name through the mud.

“The rules of the competition state that killing the opponent is not allowed. Death of a Soul Pet is not a violation of the rules. However, malicious maiming is forbidden,” the Main Judge explained blandly.

Guo Shi’s expression turned even uglier after hearing this.

“Malicious maiming is forbidden.” That rule might as well not exist. At this level of combat, life and death can be decided in a moment. It meant that the opponent could still kill his Soul Pets.

Thinking of Han Qi and He Zhen’s dispirited expressions earlier, Guo Shi’s facial muscles couldn’t stop twitching.

After much hesitation, Guo Shi finally made a decision and said seriously, “I’ve competed against Han Qi, and my strength is only a bit stronger than his. Since he’s not the opponent, there’s no point in me fighting. I concede.”

“Are you sure you want to give up the match?” the Main Judge asked.

Guo Shi nodded and replied, “I forfeit.”

“Yeah, get lost,” the Main Judge nodded and said dismissively.

Guo Shi’s face alternated between shades of green and white. He hadn’t expected to be humiliated by the Main Judge!

The Main Judge’s remark once again triggered laughter from everyone. All eyes looked upon Guo Shi with scorn as he shrank from the competition.

Guo Shi had never been under such scrutiny before. Those disparaging and mocking gazes, along with the ironic and humiliating remarks, made him feel as if he were crawling with poisonous ants, extremely uncomfortable!

“Peng Meng, your Monster Beast Palace disciple really knows the times, huh? Withdrawing from such a competition also requires tremendous courage, wouldn’t you say?” Peng Meng from Elemental Sect said to Yin Ce, the leader of Monster Beast Palace, with a smile.

Yin Ce shook his head with a sigh. He had originally thought Guo Shi was a promising seedling to be cultivated well, perhaps even to become a disciple of a certain Beast type faction. He had not expected the guy to be so gutless.

It’s good to know the times, and sometimes it’s not necessary to make meaningless sacrifices. But Guo Shi was representing Monster Beast Palace in the Outstanding Competition. When he gave up without a fight, he did not consider the reputation of Monster Beast Palace at all. How could such a disciple be given priority in training?

Unbeknownst to Guo Shi, his cowardice here meant that he would not be supported by Monster Beast Palace from now on. As someone whose current realm had been achieved solely because of the privileges granted by Monster Beast Palace, he would probably remain at this level of power for the rest of his life. If his Soul Pets died, his power would even regress wildly, given he had no way on his own to enhance the strength of his Soul Pets.

Both Han Erxing and Tang Zhuo also had very unpleasant looks on their faces. Guo Shi was bringing shame to them all. His actions only added another feather to the cap of the opponent.

At that moment, they had already expelled Guo Shi from their circle in their minds.

The fact that Monster Beast Palace’s top disciple fled without a fight spoke volumes of Chu Mu’s strength!

On the battlefield, Chu Mu watched Guo Shi leave the arena and felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Had Guo Shi chosen to fight, War Beast Mo Ye would have had the opportunity to display its Sixth Limb Regeneration, and Chu Mu would have been able to witness the full strength of War Beast Mo Ye.

Thinking back, Guo Shi was wise to flee. If he hadn’t, Chu Mu could not guarantee that he wouldn’t have wiped out all of Guo Shi’s summoned Soul Pets.

The battle ended, and Chu Mu recalled his Soul Pet and left Floating Mountain Battlefield.

Floating Mountain Battlefield remained bloodstained, with corpse after corpse left behind.

Uncleared, the next battle would begin. Even if the following duel was more thrilling, it would likely pale in comparison. People’s attention would be drawn to the blood-red Floating Mountain, their minds replaying the previous electrifying solo battle against many.
