Chapter 503: Chapter 375: Monarch of the Wind, Wind-binding Spirit!
Ting Lan had already been here 4 times. The marks she made were deliberately bypassing the areas populated with powerful wind soul pets, saving a substantial amount of time and soul pet combat power.
Once inside the chaotic wind belt, it was easy to lose track of time. Chu Mu didn’t know how long he had been in the wind belt, but he could guess from Ting Lan’s beautiful and shimmering eyes that the Wind-binding Spirit’s habitat must be nearby.
The wind force grew stronger and stronger within the wind belt, hindering the movement of the Night Thunder Dream Beast to some extent. Li Hen also summoned his wind soul pet to protect Chu Mu.
“It’s right there in front of that wind pit area.” Ting Lan pointed to a sunk down area of murky land.
The wind force within the wind belt was unstable, occasionally creating level eight wind forces in certain areas, resulting in the odd and ever-changing landscape of the wind belt.
It was obvious that the wind pit Ting Lan pointed to was a trace of a powerful wind force. Just seeing a small part of it, one could guess that its power was likely close to level 10.
Chu Mu jumped down from the Night Thunder Dream Beast and stood at the edge of the huge wind pit, looking down at the stirring murky area below, and faintly discerning a pair of clear eyes.
“Is that the Wind-binding Spirit?” Chu Mu asked, pointing at the small silhouette in the wind pit.
“Yeah, luckily it’s still here, but I have to first check if there are any soul pets guarding it nearby.” Ting Lan cautioned.
At first, Chu Mu thought that the Wind-binding Spirit would be similar to the Storm Season Elf in appearance, but he found that it was more like a delicate soul pet that could stand on a person’s shoulder. It was hard to imagine such a creature being an immensely powerful Monarch Soul Pet.
“You need to be careful.” Li Hen reminded Ting Lan.
Ting Lan nodded and then rode her Linyin Beast slowly towards the location of the Wind-binding Spirit.
As she entered the wind pit, Ting Lan kept looking upwards as the wind belt encompassed an enormous airspace where Chu Mu saw many wind soul pets in the sky during the journey.
Ting Lan apparently didn’t have any wind soul pets of her own, so it would definitely be more difficult for her to fight those agile and nimble wind soul pets in the air.
“Ting Lan, if you move forward, it will detect you now. A hundred meters above you, there’s an eighth-rank high-order Wind-binding Spirit, with four tenth-level Storm Season Elves surrounding it!” Li Hen warned Ting Lan through soul sense.
Upon Li Hen’s warning, Ting Lan discovered the existence of these Wind-binding Spirit guardians. The battle was inevitable. Ting Lan slowly recited the incantation and summoned her own soul pets!
Chu Mu’s vision was limited, but he could clearly see that Ting Lan summoned all four soul pets, two of which were low-grade Monarch soul pets with ninth-rank combat power!
Chu Mu was currently unable to compete against ninth-rank low-grade Monarch soul pets, but Ting Lan’s strength was only considered as a second-tier expert…
Chu Mu knew that if he couldn’t surpass Ting Lan within half a year, there was no chance of gaining the glory of the second tier. He had to find a way to raise all of his soul pets’ stages within this short period of half a year!
Chu Mu’s attention was mainly focused on the eighth-rank high-order Wind-binding Spirit hovering in the air. Its delicate body seemed to walk on flat ground in the wind belt, changing its position at will.
Its movement speed was incredibly fast, and with its elusive flight trajectory, it was virtually impossible to attack.
“Young Master Chu, the Wind-binding Spirit’s evasion ability and speed are not inferior to the Monarch Demonic Spirit. Even if it gets close, it won’t be limited by other soul pets.” Li Hen slowly said.
Initially, Chu Mu didn’t think highly of the petite elemental creature, but his opinion of the Wind-binding Spirit changed gradually when he saw Ting Lan’s intermediate Monarch Linyin Beast being completely overpowered by the Wind-binding Spirit.
“Whooosh~” The battle between the Linyin Beast and the Wind-binding Spirit gradually approached Chu Mu’s position. The sharp, raging wind struck his body like a whip, even though he was shielded by a wind barrier, Chu Mu still felt as if he was being whipped.
“Sizzle~”
The Wind-binding Spirit was as elusive as the wind, making it difficult to capture. The eighth-rank high-order Linyin Beast was barely able to attack the sentient creature. As the Wind-binding Spirit changed its position in the air, it let out a subtle chanting sound and a more violent wind skill was brewing!
“It can move and chant eighth-level wind skills at the same time. If the Linyin Beast can’t control it within 2 seconds, the skill will be cast!” Li Hen kept explaining to Chu Mu.
As expected, the Linyin Beast sensed that the Wind-binding Spirit was about to use a powerful wind technique and launched a wide-ranging beast-type attack at the airborne Wind-binding Spirit.
“Zing~”
The Wind-binding Spirit’s body was enveloped in a high-level Chaotic Wind, causing the petite figure to gradually dissolve into the violent swirling wind.
“Bang!!!!!!!!!!” The Linyin Beast’s beast-type energy exploded in mid-air, causing the surrounding air currents within tens of meters to become chaotic, as if space were about to shatter!
However, within this chaotic air current, the Wind-binding Spirit seemed to not suffer any damage at all. Its body slowly re-emerged, and the 2-second spell had already been completed!
“What kind of skill is that?” Chu Mu was stunned. The Linyin Beast’s attack was definitely close to Level 9 power, which was something only Chu Mu’s White Nightmare Demon, Zhan Ye, and Ghost Dome King could withstand among his soul pets. The Wind-binding Spirit was clearly at the epicenter of the explosion but was not affected in the slightest, and even managed to complete the Eighth Level Wind Skill’s incantation without any hindrance!
The most frightening thing about Elemental Soul Pets is that if given enough time to chant the incantations for high-level spells, their destructive power becomes incredibly terrifying. Therefore, in battle, one must keep a tight control over Elemental Soul Pets.
The Wind-binding Spirit completely ignored the Linyin Beast’s attack and continued to chant the incantation unimpeded. If the Wind-binding Spirit possessed this kind of attribute, even if all of Chu Mu’s soul pets were upgraded to the eighth rank, advanced stage, they would still be defeated by its wind technique!
“That’s Wind Invisibility, one of the racial skills unique to the Wind-binding Spirit. Through its special sensitivity to wind, the Wind-binding Spirit can locate the critical point between winds, which we usually call Wind Invisibility Point. When the Wind-binding Spirit’s body is at this point, it merges with the air currents and becomes formless. It can be considered an absolute evasion skill. Most importantly, the Wind-binding Spirit can continue to chant its incantation while evading attacks in this manner. This particular Wind-binding Spirit has a Wind Invisibility duration of 2 seconds, which also happens to be the exact time needed for it to perform an eighth level wind skill. Once the Wind-binding Spirit locates the Wind Invisibility Point, its opponent will inevitably have to withstand a powerful wind technique from it!” Li Hen explained in detail.
This was the first time Chu Mu had heard of such a unique racial skill. The Intermediate Wind Monarch was indeed domineering. An eighth level wind skill could cause fatal damage to an enemy. Once it located the Wind Invisibility Point, the entire situation could be turned around!
Chu Mu’s heart grew hot, and his interest in the Wind-binding Spirit increased even more!
“Young Master Chu, be careful. Although the Wind-binding Spirit is using an eighth level wind skill, its power is definitely at level 9!” Li Hen reminded Chu Mu.
After speaking, Li Hen hurriedly made his wind-element soul pet protect himself and Chu Mu to avoid being affected by the ninth-level wind skill.
Almost at the moment when Li Hen’s wind-element defense was activated, the Wind-binding Spirit had already unleashed an angry storm towards the Linyin Beast. Unable to face the technique head-on, the Linyin Beast hurriedly ran further away!
“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble~”
Chu Mu witnessed the power of a ninth-level wind technique again, and what shocked him was that the Wind-binding Spirit’s skill was even stronger than the ninth-level hurricane jointly launched by the Tenth Rank storm elves after a long preparation!
A ninth-level wind technique’s power would be enough to cause severe injuries to all of his soul pets!!
It was hard to imagine that such a tiny elemental creature that could stand on a person’s shoulder could create such astonishing destruction within 2 seconds!!
In this moment, Chu Mu, who witnessed the ninth-level storm with his own eyes, understood that the Wind-binding Spirit was not only an Intermediate Monarch but also a top-grade soul pet among Intermediate Monarchs!
The edge of the wind pit was further expanded due to the impact of the ninth-level power technique, and Ting Lan’s Linyin Beast could not escape the onslaught. After being thrown high into the air and suffering the tearing of the violent winds for tens of seconds, the Dawn Battle Armor was already covered in numerous fresh bloodstains!
“Even though they are both intermediate monarchs, the Linyin Beast’s overall strength is lower than the Wind-binding Spirit’s. Under normal circumstances, the Linyin Beast might not be a match for the Wind-binding Spirit, let alone in this windy area. If Ting Lan can’t find a solution, the Linyin Beast will definitely lose here.” Li Hen said.
“She could always switch soul pets, which should help her defeat these guards,” Chu Mu replied.
As he spoke, Chu Mu purposefully glanced at the distant Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit. How could Chu Mu not be tempted after seeing the Wind-binding Spirit’s powerful wind-fighting ability?!
“Yeah, as long as no other soul pets appear,” Li Hen nodded.
As he spoke, Li Hen deliberately looked at the chaotic sky above them…
When approaching the Wind Pit Area, Li Hen had faintly felt something in the airspace. Now, this feeling was becoming even stronger!
“The natural wind force within the Wind Belt would generally not exceed level 9. This wind pit is clearly the result of a tenth-level wind technique. Could it be…” Li Hen suddenly realized something, and his face changed instantly!
