SUPREME TAMER

Chapter 920: Chapter 787: Be my teacher? Dream on!

“Can you still fight?” Chu Mu stroked Ning’s smooth lovable head and asked.

“Ice~~~” The Ice-Feathered Spirit nodded. This power upgrade had a strong healing and recovery effect. Although it didn’t completely restore her combat power, it wasn’t so severe that she needed to retreat to the Soul Pet Space to rest.

In this icy domain, Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets had limited use, but the Ice-Feathered Spirit knew it was her time to shine. Stepping into the realm of a high-grade Emperor, her excitement made her overlook her injuries.

By the time Chu Mu returned to the boundary of the icy land with Ning, the battle involving the three women and Teng Lang was nearing its end.

Chu Mu was eager to test the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s damage potential after becoming a high-grade Emperor. While Teng Lang was still battling with his five Soul Pets, Chu Mu had the Ice-Feathered Spirit cast a spell.

Falling Cold Star!

Ning stood a kilometer away, targeting the Ice Mountain Lion in midair with both hands!

Stars of frost began to gently fall from the sky, landing on the Ice Mountain Lion. The robust and enormous lion, exhausted from dealing with five Soul Pets, didn’t notice these seemingly insignificant falling stars.

However, as the falling stars became denser and more numerous, the Ice Mountain Lion’s movements gradually slowed!

The frost from the Falling Cold Stars could penetrate the defensive skin and enter the enemy’s musculature, marrow, blood, and internal organs. When the Ice-Feathered Spirit was at the intermediate Emperor level, her Falling Cold Stars could only momentarily stun an advanced Emperor and could not cause significant damage.

But after reaching the advanced Emperor level, Ning’s Falling Cold Stars slowed the Ice Mountain Lion’s initial leisurely movement until it couldn’t move at all. Cold air continually leaked from its wounds.

Teng Lang, still in battle, was taken aback. He mistook the Ice Mountain Lion’s freezing body for the charging of a powerful attack and ordered his five soul pets to retreat.

After a long period of quiet, Teng Lang closely observed the Lion again and found that it had been turned into a giant ice sculpture, exuding a strange chill as if there was no life left in it!

“What… what’s happening here!” Teng Lang was extremely puzzled.

He was confident that he could win the fight, but it would take some time to wear down and kill this high-grade Emperor. He didn’t understand how it could be suddenly frozen until there was no sign of life left.

“Ice Meteor!” Suddenly, a cold command sounded behind Teng Lang.

Teng Lang turned around and was surprised to find that Chu Mu was standing there with his Ice-Feathered Spirit, who should have been killed.

The injured Ice-Feathered Spirit was actually casting a spell. It was clear now that the falling cold stars earlier were also her doing!

“Bang!!!!!”

At the moment Teng Lang turned around, a huge Ice Meteor appeared abruptly above the Ice Mountain Lion and harshly crashed onto its frozen body!

The impact crushed the Ice Mountain Lion into countless pieces that scattered around the giant Ice Meteor embedded in the ground, leaving behind a rugged field of ice fragments…

Teng Lang was dumbfounded. He looked at the corpse of the Ice Mountain Lion, then at Chu Mu and the Ice-Feathered Spirit!

No matter how strong the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s damage was, it shouldn’t have been able to kill the injured Ice mountain Lion with just two techniques. After all, it was a high-grade Emperor!

“Brother Chu, your Ice-Feathered Spirit…” Eventually, Teng Lang noticed the change in the Ice-Feathered Spirit, not in its appearance but in its ice attribute temperament that exuded a chilling aura of murderousness!

“It has advanced, even without the aid of Spirit Items…” The Heavenly Consort was the first to notice the change in the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s aura, but even she hadn’t expected it to step into the realm of a high-grade Emperor!

While challenging higher ranks, her Mysterious Ice Demon didn’t upgrade even one level after killing the Cold Trickster Demon Queen. However, the Ice-Feathered Spirit managed to jump from an intermediate Emperor level to a high-grade Emperor level…

Although there’s only one grade difference between an intermediate Emperor and a high-grade Emperor, in terms of strength, status, and identity, they are worlds apart.

At least Teng Lang, Guan Guan, and Xiao Tong had all been hovering at the intermediate emperor level for some time now.

Teng Lang felt surprised and envious of Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit’s promotion to high-grade emperor while Guan Guan and Xiao Tong, who were haughty and deliberately causing trouble for Chu Mu, now wore black faces with jealously and anger which they didn’t hide at all!

A war general level Soul Pet could also achieve self-strengthening. Unbelievably, this fairy tale-like event could happen to this man!

At this moment, these two narrow-minded women seemed to forget that Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit had single-handedly killed a high-grade emperor. They were only grudging about a war general level Soul Pet being strengthened to an emperor level, which completely defied common sense. Most importantly, they were the ones who had facilitated the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s advancement!

“Your Ice-Feathered Spirit is quite good. Since a blessing in disguise has occurred, let’s not dwell on the past,” said Heavenly Consort, walking over to Chu Mu after the battle.

“Yeah, I misjudged before.” Chu Mu nodded, not engaging in any verbal conflict with her.

On the surface, Chu Mu, being magnanimous, didn’t bicker with these two women. However, he was contemplating ways to make their deaths more painful. It’s not like Chu Mu is exceptionally generous, after all.

“Who’s your mentor?” Heavenly Consort abruptly asked.

“Elder De from the Soul Hall,” Chu Mu replied.

“Him?” Heavenly Consort seemed to not recognize the name. Looking at Chu Mu, she continued, “Then your current strength is on par with an elder. He’s likely running out of things to teach you, isn’t he?”

“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded, gazing at the woman, secretly wondering why she suddenly asked about his mentor. Could it be…

“You need a teacher who can teach you more.” After saying that, Heavenly Consort slowly paced forward, her fragrant wind sweeping past as she took her place at the front of the troop.

Chu Mu was momentarily stunned. He didn’t immediately grasp the hidden implications of her words, but he quickly understood…

This woman seemed to have the intention to take him in as a disciple!

Teng Lang did not understand the message in Heavenly Consort’s words, but Guan Guan and Xiao Tong, both women who had spent many years following Heavenly Consort, were so surprised they could hardly keep their jaws from dropping onto the snow-covered ground!

From the fact that all seven of her disciples were female, it was clear that Heavenly Consort had never accepted a male disciple. This time, however, Heavenly Consort had expressed the possibility of accepting this man as her disciple. This was just unbelievable!

The calm Heavenly Consort leading the way at the front of the group showed no signs turning back. Her decision to lead was premised on the fact that she was the only one qualified to act in the area they were about to enter.

Whether or not the man understood her intentions did not concern Heavenly Consort. As for accepting the him as her disciple, she needed to give it further thought.

It was not because she was avoiding accepting a male disciple, but rather because having men by her side introduced some peculiar dynamics. Therefore, when choosing disciples, she preferred women.

However, when coming across such an exceptionally talented man like Chu Mu, who had superior command over his soul pets, she didn’t mind a bit of peculiarity and considered taking him on as a disciple. After all, with diligent guidance, even the least promising prospect among talents like this was capable of contending with the Sixteen Extremes and, given some fortuitous encounters, could potentially reach the heights of the Eight Desolates.

One such talent was not to be missed. The only regrettable thing was that this man belonged to the Soul Hall; poaching him away wouldn’t be easy.

Of course, if the Soul Hall considered using this man to improve their relationship with her, they might let her disciple him. But Heavenly Consort didn’t know much about him—his temperament, character, and background— and a full understanding of these was necessary before making a decision.

To be the disciple of the Female War Goddess, who stood third among all humans and was a bewitchingly beautiful woman, must be an overwhelming aspiration for countless eager Soul Pet Masters.

Only a pity that Chu Mu had no such desire.

Chu Mu was accustomed to his self-led cultivation. The closest he’d ever come to having a mentor was likely the unprepossessing old man who lived for over two hundred years.

Accept her as his mentor? Absolutely not!

Even if Chu Mu were to accept her as his female disciple, he would still consider it. After all, once accepted, how could he bring himself to kill her?

Regardless, upon understanding the implications of Heavenly Consort’s words, Chu Mu’s immediate reaction was: Being my mentor? In her dreams!

…..

“Chu Mu, you interested?” asked Teng Lang through a mental whisper during their journey.

“Interested in what?” asked Chu Mu, puzzled.

“Oh, acting so innocent. Being the only man favored by the Female War Goddess, possibly even being the man closest to her, that is something that anyone would desire,” said Teng Lang.

“Though I am Elder De’s disciple, I am used to training by myself, so I don’t really have an inclination to seek a mentor,” Chu Mu responded truthfully.

“We, in the Soul Hall, need to get on good terms with the Heavenly Consort. It’s highly likely that you might become the Soul Hall’s future pillar of strength. However, the elders may consider letting you be her disciple, this way, at least she won’t take actions against us in the Soul Hall,” Teng Lang continued.

Chu Mu shook his head and laughed, “I just pissed her off not long ago. How could I possibly have her as my mentor?”

“Ha-ha, you kid, you’re such a character,” laughed Teng Lang heartily, patting Chu Mu’s shoulder.

Both Guan Guan and Xia Tong, grim-faced, turned to look at the boisterously laughing men, then quickly turned their heads away in disgust. Heavenly Consort seemed indifferent but appeared bothered by their shrill laughter.

While Teng Lang’s seemingly casual inquiries appeared to be made in passing, in truth he was assessing Chu Mu’s stance. If Chu Mu were to express even the slightest interest in becoming Heavenly Consort’s disciple, Teng Lang would’ve had no choice but to put Chu Mu on his blacklist.

This wasn’t tied to Soul Hall’s stance. Rather, the matter regarding the Qiankun Ice Gate left Teng Lang feeling humiliated and furious. For him, the Qiankun Ice Gate was akin to the legacy left to him by his ancestors; he had strived and fought tirelessly with the hope that he could one day truly step into that ice gate. However, not long ago, his sacred land was forcefully occupied by Heavenly Consort, this left him wishing he could kill her!

If Chu Mu had any intention of getting close to her, then Teng Lang wouldn’t hesitate to metaphorically strike this newly acquainted friend’s name off of his list.
