"Not necessarily. They all say Lu Yu's moral character is… top-notch? That should an he's a good person, right!"
Mu Mu had another thought.
Maybe it was because she had stayed in the Pluto Domain for too long, and after seeing so many strange Ghost Pet Beasts, her ntality had also beco a bit dark.
So skills naturally require a long preparation ti to use, especially Domain-type Skills.
The consumption is ridiculously high, so it's reasonable for it to be a trump card.
But that dragon… it was eating too enthusiastically!
It didn't look like it was trying to conserve energy at all!
Mu Mu could accept being defeated, but to be so thoroughly humiliated was too insulting!
"Are you…"
Just as she was about to ask him, she found that on the ruined arena, only the Pale Coffin condensed from bones remained standing!
Her Soul-Hooking Centipede was sealed inside, unable to move!
As for Lu Yu and his dragon, they were already gone without a trace.
She only found out after asking the referee. That guy had turned and left the mont the match was declared over, without a hint of reluctance.
"It's been a long ti since I've seen a young man who dislikes showing off so much. No wonder he could fight his way up from the bottom-tier…" the referee said appreciatively, sighing that he was truly soone else's child.
His own kid would show off over the smallest thing, yet Lu Yu was unmoved by honor or disgrace!
Everyone thought that defeating a genius from a great family was a huge honor, but he didn't seem to care about it at all.
It was as if he had casually kicked a small pebble aside while walking down the road.
With a mindset like that, he truly is a genius with the hope of ascending to beco a Monarch or a Magnate!
However, after Mu Mu heard this, her face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, saying:
"That scoundrel!"
She understood now.
If he didn't have a guilty conscience, would he need to run away so fast?
Exploiting even his future classmates, he's truly inhuman!
"Damn it…"
The more Mu Mu thought about it, the angrier she got.
But she had only used one pet beast this ti. If all three ca out, the outco wouldn't be certain.
After all, she still had a demonic beast with Yellow Springs and Special Netherworld Ecological attributes that could break through his strong resistance to soul-types. With a Spiritual Puzzle to match, in the Second Round, which is also the Final Round Examination, she might still have a fighting chance!
Complete the goal her family gave her, and teach that bastard a lesson along the way!
anwhile, the professional-grade dical Team had already entered the arena and begun rescuing the Soul-Hooking Dragon Centipede.
However, the tools they used weren't scalpels, but the latest Spiritual Energy-powered chainsaws, drills, and so on from the Machine King Domain.
They relied on the machinery to cut away bit by bit, making a clanging ss as sparks flew.
Those who didn't know… would have thought they had stumbled onto a construction site!
"Lu Yu is too much, he directly made the dical Team switch careers to a Demolition Crew, hahahaha!"
"That's too exaggerated. The professional-grade dical Team has at least Spirituality Transformation and Morning Star Rank Beast Tars, but they can't even break the skill left behind by Lu Yu's dragon!"
"Are the monsters in the Borderlands this fierce now? Is it too late for to transfer my household registration over there?"
"I suggest it's more useful to just get reincarnated as Lu Yu's child, but there's a chance you'll end up in the trash can!"
"Even Mu Mu is no match for him.
Doesn't that an he's locked in the Rookie King title?"
"My second uncle sweeps the floors at Imperial Capital University. I heard the rewards this ti are very generous.
Lu Yu is going to get rich, I'm so envious!"
"…"
The crowd of viewers wanted to laugh at this scene, but when they thought about how Lu Yu was only around nineteen years old and already this strong, they couldn't laugh anymore.
In comparison, they had lived a long life in vain!
"This is too hard, are you sure this is bone? Not so kind of special alloy?"
The group of Beast Tars in the professional-grade dical Team were also numb.
It was one thing to have a side gig in civil engineering, but the most outrageous part was that an ordinary Early Morning Star Rank attack left no mark on it!
And they were afraid that a powerful pet beast attack would cause collateral damage to the Soul-Hooking Dragon Centipede. It would be troubleso if it caused secondary damage.
It didn't die on the arena, but ended up dying while being rescued by the doctor!
An older mber of the dical team frowned and said, "The spirituality of these bones has accumulated and undergone a qualitative change, which is why they're so hard."
"A Bone Imagination Body? Could it be that Lu Yu also received the blessing of the Hidden Bones Emperor back then?"
"It's possible. After all, Great Abyss City played a part in His successful return to Night-Town. Maybe this is His boon."
"But now these bones are connecting to the Great Earth.
Who has a pet beast that can sever the Power of the Great Earth?"
"If soone had that ability, who would beco a dic?"
"Where did Lu Yu go? Hurry up and call him back to release the control!"
"…"
In the end, Li Shu couldn't watch anymore and stepped in to help. He used the Power of Holy Light to dismantle the Pale Coffin bit by bit, finally dragging the Soul-Hooking Dragon Centipede out for treatnt!
Although it was covered in wounds, missing a lot of carapace and legs, it was actually only lightly injured.
It had just fallen into a deep sleep because of the Power of Serenity contained within the bones!
Many people marveled at this, growing more and more curious about Eggy's specific attributes.
They guessed that Lu Yu's strongest pet beast must be this dragon!
Qi Wei, however, calmly checked the footage he had fild, having already rehearsed the editing process in his mind several tis.
He believed his finished product would definitely cause a sensation in the Alliance!
In the audience seats, Luo Zisong stroked his chin and sighed, "This kid has half of my style from when I was young!"
He was naturally not referring to talent, because at the sa age, he would have been thrashed by Lu Yu, but rather this style of taking advantage and fleeing!
It was exactly the sa as when he first started out!
No wonder he had taken a liking to this kid from the beginning. This kid is like !
Just wish he would stop staring at his bird all the ti!
The other few teachers also chuckled in spite of themselves.
Shang Yuguang lightly tapped his fingers on the chair and said with a laugh:
"This kid, he sure runs fast!"
"To be able to fleece soone to their face, he's really not a good person. But he's smart enough to know to avoid eting her.
Even if Mu Mu is full of anger with nowhere to vent, she won't be so angry after a night." Mao Guixian said with a smile, "It's just a pity that the first round of assessnt is over, and Lu Yu didn't encounter the one with the Law Seed.
It's a bit less interesting!"
"Tomorrow's Second Round is the main event. I didn't expect the principal to open up that place!"
Xiao Ling said with a smile, "But with Lu Yu's current strength, the probability of him winning the Rookie King title this ti is very high.
This guy, he's really full of surprises!"
Yue Hao interjected out of the blue, "More than just a surprise. This ti, everyone who bet on Lu Yu has struck it rich!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, except for Li Shu and Shang Yuguang.
Because after they saw Mu Mu take out the Imagination Object 【Death Nether Scythe】, they thought her win rate was very high and decisively bet a tenth of their net worth.
But they didn't expect…
Lu Yu was a bug!
Out of his three pets, two were compatible with two Imagination Objects.
His luck was outrageously good!
Although most Beast Tars use luck as a support, they wouldn't deny the effect it brings!
Which of those who can beco a top-tier powerhouse doesn't have a bit of luck?
And Fate-type Beast Tars also exist!
They are a branch of the Fate-type, able to control the illusory concept of luck through their pet beasts!
The top-tier powerhouses among them can make everything go smoothly, all their wishes co true. Once soone opposes them, they will feel the world's thick malice.
Everything goes wrong!
If this type of Beast Tar wasn't extrely rare, with very few Spiritual Puzzles and pet beasts available, they would definitely beco a mainstream system among Beast Tars!
Although Lu Yu wasn't a Fate-type Beast Tar, this kind of innate luck was much stronger than anything acquired!
They were already prepared to pull Lu Yu into their respective departnts after the Entrance Examination ended.
After all, it was almost a foregone conclusion that this guy would beco a Moonlight Rank Beast Tar!
If they could cultivate a Magnate-level Beast Tar, it wasn't just a matter of having a good reputation.
It was sothing that could suppress an era for ten thousand years. Everyone in the entire clique would benefit from it, receiving a massive skewing of resources.
All comings and goings are for benefit!
The night was already deep, and the Eternal Moon shed its silver light!
After Lu Yu's battle ended, several other arena tournants also concluded one after another, and the First Round Arena Tournant ca to an end.
A total of 1,297 people passed!
Among them, Lu Yu was in first place, the Law Seed holder was second, Mu Mu was third, Yu Xiyan overtook to beco fourth, Chiyue ng was fifth, Chiyue Honglian was sixth…
Kiddo successfully ranked 233rd!
As for the other examinees, as long as they maintained the base score in the Second Round Assessnt, they could successfully enroll!
"It's finally over!"
After the referee's announcent, all the examinees breathed a sigh of relief.
They had almost been beaten down by this group of freaks today.
Thankfully, they had finally made it through the first round.
They just didn't know what the Second Round Assessnt would be. They could only pray that it wasn't a Mystic Realm Training.
After all, Lu Yu's other nickna was…
The Mystic Realm God of War!
However, among these people, the figure in the cloak was very dissatisfied, muttering:
"How boring, I didn't even run into them. But the big toy's strength was unexpected.
He should be able to let have so fun!"
Yu Xiyan looked at the cloaked figure, a smile on her face. According to the information she had inferred, the content of the Second Round Assessnt would shake the entire Alliance!
She had to say, this principal, was really bold enough!
…………………………………………
anwhile, Lu Yu, who had left early, had already arrived at the entrance of the Church of Serenity.
Like the Church of Thorns, it was one of the Churches of the Righteous Gods.
It worshipped an ancient Supre One, the 【Lord of Serenity】, also known as the 【God of Tombs】, 【Guardian of the Underworld】, and so on.
Legend has it that He is the final resting place for countless deceased, the guardian of the core of the Netherworld—The Underworld!
Bringing repose to the departed!
Because He, like the Hidden Bones Emperor, was a Netherworld Deity, He held a portion of the authority over death, peace for the deceased, purification, graveyards, and more.
Among them, the power of purification was the key for the Church of Serenity to dominate the Human Alliance!
It could purify tainted souls.
Although they would lose most of their mories, it would be easier for them to rge with all things in the world and beco spiritual energy itself.
Or be guided by the Netherworld and transford into powerful special lifeforms!
In a way, this was sowhat similar to the concept of rebirth from Lu Yu's previous life.
Although this world had no reincarnation, people longed for the return or peace of the deceased.
Hoping they would return anew in the Netherworld!
Because their own deity held the authority of the graveyard, the doctrines of the Church of Serenity stated a rejection of all cremation and desecration of corpses.
They considered it a disrespect to the departed!
However, the Church of Serenity, unlike the Church of Thorns' Kingdom of Won, had a roughly equal number of n and won, divided into the priest and nun systems, naly the Priests of Repose and the Exorcist Nuns.
A Priest of Repose could contract a pet beast born from a Special Serenity Ecosystem to purify the bodies of ordinary humans or Beast Tars after death, and repair any damaged parts as much as possible.
It was sowhat similar to a mortician, only more sacred!
The Exorcist Nuns were similar; they removed the resentnt contained within souls, and were also responsible for eliminating evil spirit bodies and giving blessings to newborns.
Wishing them a peaceful life!
Their ultimate goal was to prevent the spiritual pollution after death from causing aberration and, in turn, harming the living!
Thus, there was a folk saying:
【Your Birth and Death are Under the Gaze of the Lord of Serenity!】
In addition, the Church of Serenity would collect the remains of the poor or holess for free, so it had an excellent reputation among the people.
If it weren't for the Church of Thorns being skilled at drawing adult manga and taking care of won and children, its popular influence would have been completely crushed by the Church of Serenity!
And the seemingly peaceful Church of Serenity, in turn, monopolized the entire Alliance's dium-to-large-scale ceteries and corpse trading business.
All 【Cetery Operation Permits】 and 【Corpse Food and Soul Food Trading Licenses】, and even the construction of so facilities related to cetery pet beast ecosystems, required the approval of the Church of Serenity.
Because the conditions were harsh, the number was scarce.
Getting one didn't an you'd get rich, but at least you wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!
You say you don't have one?
Hmm…
The Church of Serenity would directly provide an all-in-one service and send you to your grave!
And the reason Lu Yu left decisively after the First Round Assessnt was not just to avoid being entangled by Mu Mu, but also because…
Eggy was starving!
Although Imagination Objects were powerful, each use required a corresponding price.
After Little Spider used 【Illusory Bubble】, she would unconsciously tell lies, a price that was almost negligible.
And after Eggy used the 【Corpse Mountain Mask】, it also needed to devour enough corpses.
Fortunately, there were no strength or rank requirents, so the price wasn't high.
It just needed to be consud within a day!
'It's a pity I can't use the Corpse Mountain Mask myself, otherwise I could have just freeloaded off the Master of the Gate rank!'
Lu Yu felt a sense of regret as he walked straight into the Church of Serenity.
Unlike the lewd attire of the Church of Thorns, the attire of the Church of Serenity was all white standard-issue long robes, with a pattern of three intersecting rings over a cetery printed on them. Their bodies were completely covered, and whether they were priests or nuns, their faces maintained a solemn and dignified expression.
Like a group of gravekeepers, guarding the peace after death!
After learning of Lu Yu's intentions, the priests revealed 'nacing' smiles.
And then…
Lu Yu finally understood what it ant to be skinned even if you were dead!
On the list provided by the church, there were no human corpses, as this was in the category of absolutely forbidden trade.
And to be considerate of a few allied races, there were also no humanoid corpses, such as those of elves, dwarves, and so on.
Most of what could be bought and sold were corpses that the Church of Serenity had purchased or transported back from various demon's nests or battlefields.
They were sold directly by the jin, with a minimum purchase of one thousand jin.
Those with their extraordinary organs harvested were the cheapest, followed by those with damaged extraordinary organs.
As for complete ones…
No one would ask such a stupid question!
Isn't it great for them to just sell it for money?
As a church located in the Imperial Capital, this Church of Serenity branch had a luxurious stock.
They had everything from Servant Rank to Peak Morning Star Rank corpses!
However, after Lu Yu looked at the prices, his heart rate slightly accelerated.
"So expensive!"
Don't be fooled by the starting price of fifty Alliance Coins per jin for Servant Rank corpses. In reality, this was like so book-selling sches on the internet.
The weight of an ordinary demonic beast was not light, often dozens or hundreds of jin. If it was a Morning Star Rank, a weight of over ten thousand jin was normal!
So special giant elephants or stitched beasts could even reach over a hundred thousand jin.
When the quantity was large, the accumulated cost was an astronomical figure!
Lu Yu's money-making speed could be called legendary in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared to a veteran church, or even a great family, he was just a small fry!
However, they had to support an entire faction and couldn't take care of everyone, whereas Lu Yu only needed to feed his own pet beasts!
Finally, Lu Yu decided on what he wanted to buy!
Ten Morning Star Rank demonic beast corpses and ten sets of Spirituality Transformation materials were for the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant to condense its Strength Rings, filling the empty slots.
The cost-effectiveness was much higher than hunting them himself, as he could harvest the extraordinary organs!
Then there were two thousand Commander Rank corpses, to be used to create 300 Blood-Corroding Insects, and at the sa ti, strengthen their overall strength to high-stage Commander.
These insects might seem insignificant, but they were servitors that could be used by a native god to harvest all living beings in a small world.
Their own combat power was not low at all, and their life-devouring characteristic was even more terrifying, directly applying a weakening debuff to the opponent.
At the sa ti, they were also the production workers for Life Honey, Corrupt Honey, and other Life Provisions Art products. He could stock up in advance, and it would be a good option for either personal use or for sale later.
Most importantly…
Producing slave beasts was, in itself, increasing the proficiency of the 【Palace of the Moon】 skill. After raising it to Pinnacle of Perfection or even Transcendent, there was a hope of it giving birth to a gene collection ability!
The Lord of the Void Calamity Plan is in progress!
As for the corpses needed for the Corpse Mountain Mask, he bought Servant Rank corpses, a full ten thousand of them.
As long as the quantity was enough, what more could one ask for?
Finally…
Lu Yu also asked about the price of Soul Food.
It wasn't that he had too much money and nowhere to spend it, but because there were too many big soul-devourers at ho.
The Staff of the Dust-Treader, the Pasture puzzle, Eggy's City of Reincarnation, and Little Mouse's Thousand-Faced Soul Tree…
The Staff of the Dust-Treader had experienced nurous battles and collected over four thousand souls, but it was still a long way from the one hundred thousand needed for an upgrade!
As for the Pasture… the grass inside was almost all eaten. If he wanted the Black Mountain Goats to grow up sooner, he could only continue to fill it!
Otherwise, it might affect the quality of the final product!
'I still need to find a stable channel for collecting souls and corpses, like a battlefield, or a demonic tide…'
Lu Yu pondered, already having a rough idea for his future arrangents.
He just needed to show enough value to be able to implent the plan.
The priest from the Church of Serenity heard his question and nodded slightly, saying:
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand per ounce!"
It was fifty thousand cheaper than what Lu Yu had been quoted at the Dark Moon Chamber of Comrce before!
One ounce was equivalent to one hundred ordinary adult souls, or tens of thousands of insects…
He bought ten ounces, and with the previously purchased corpses, he got a 10% discount, for a total of thirty million.
His wallet hadn't even gotten warm before thirty million was gone!
Raising pet beasts really is a way to burn money!
The Church of Serenity also thoughtfully offered ho delivery, but unfortunately…
Lu Yu didn't have the money to buy a house in the Imperial Capital. If so many corpses were delivered to a hotel, it would definitely cause a sensation!
So he waved his hand grandly, indicating that he would take them away himself!
"Alright… guest!"
The priest in charge from the Church of Serenity gave him a deep look and led Lu Yu to a large cetery.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The priest clapped his hands, and the center of the cetery began to tremble. A giant, purple mouth erged from underground, letting out a hoarse, ancient roar.
The next mont, it began to continuously spit out corpses. Although the number was not large at once, they quickly piled up into a mountain!
"This is… a Living Cetery Spirit!"
Lu Yu was a little surprised.
The Eye of Truth showed him the relevant information.
【Cetery Spirit (Peak Overlord): A special lifeform born in the Ecosystem of the Lord of Serenity, its consciousness was born from the collision and convergence of the vast spiritual energy within the cetery.
It does not need living beings, growing by burying corpses and comforting souls. It is a mobile residence that most Undead-type pet beasts dream of, and can promote the birth of undead consciousness.
Its racial skill is—Tomb Mouth, which can swallow a massive number of corpses and bury them underground. It can also choose to spit out the corpses, turning them into explosive bombs that detonate instantly.
】
【Evolved Form: Spirit of the Nether Mountain… Myriad Transformation Spirit Tomb…】
What storage thod could possibly beat the preservation technology of a cetery?
"Your Excellency, why don't we…"
The priest from the Church of Serenity had intended to make Lu Yu back down, because even a space-type secret treasure couldn't hold so many corpses.
"Ying!"
However, Lu Yu didn't answer.
Little Spider, who had been standing on his shoulder, waved her hand.
Crack!
A hundred-ter-long Void Fissure opened, and purple light flowed.
Several of the piled mountains of corpses instantly vanished, as if a terrifying Void Demonic Beast had bitten across worlds.
As for the rest… they were sucked up by the Corpse Mountain Mask, which floated up unsteadily, turning into a black hole that swallowed a large number of corpses!
After eating, the empty smile on its face widened slightly.
It stuck itself to Eggy, clearly quite satisfied with this al.
"Thanks, see you next ti!"
Lu Yu waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving behind a group of dazed priests and nuns!
"This guy… which domain's genius is he? He must be a descendant of so great clan, right?" a priest murmured.
The other nuns looked at each other. Because they followed the church's doctrines year-round, guarding the cetery and purifying tainted souls.
Other than Alliance policies and events that violated the Serenity Church's doctrines, they were quite Zen-like, rarely paying attention to other matters, let alone watching today's Entrance Examination Live Broadcast.
However, based on the identity information Lu Yu left when he made his purchase, they quickly found today's trending topics.
The appearance was exactly the sa!
Then ca the video clips edited by various netizens.
The more they watched, the more complicated their expressions beca!
The appearance of Little Spider's Void Eye, instantly killing Wang Yan of the Zhuxing Family!
The absolutely violent Dragon Ant, crushing Li Yonglian from the Machine King Domain, using itself in place of a Machine Spirit to suppress everything!
And just now, it had even used an Imagination Object to let its third pet beast transform into the 【Mortal World Bone Dragon】, suppressing the magnate seed from the Pluto Domain who was also using an Imagination Object!
Although so of the comnts were salty, most were full of praise and admiration.
This young man from the grassroots of the Borderlands was about to lock in the title of Rookie King of Imperial Capital University this ti!
Seeing this, even in the hearts of the many priests and nuns who remained unfazed in the face of thousands of corpses, a single thought appeared in unison:
"Monster!"
In their church, only the current Holy Son could compare to him!
"Sigh!" The head priest beat his chest, lanting, "If only I had known it was him earlier…"
"I would have definitely bundled in a Rookie King package deal and squeezed out that remaining ten million!"
*
*
*
anwhile, Lu Yu had no idea that soone was already eyeing the rest of his wallet.
He had just returned to the hotel to find flower baskets and a banner at the entrance, congratulating him on his victory in the first round and offering a free upgrade to a top-tier suite.
The other examinees who had advanced also had their room fees waived!
Those who didn't pass got a 50% discount!
It wasn't a lot of money, but it was the thought that counted!
Lu Yu expressed his thanks, then returned to his room. He first had Little Mouse check the room, and after confirming there were no problems, he spread out the light screen of 【Fate's Protection】, blocking all information.
Ten ounces of souls were directly devoured by the Pasture, transforming into a lush green adow. Sun Chaser herded the Black Mountain Goats over to graze, striving to generate profits for its master as soon as possible.
Lu Yu didn't pay much attention to this. Instead, he looked at the refined spiritual energy in his Beast Taming Space that was already complete in his mind.
Next, he could use the Prival Copper to tamorphose his own spirituality!
Lu Yu was very curious to see what changes would occur to the Supre Mother River and that two-ter-tall Law Seed after he stepped into Spirituality Transformation.
A 6,300-character chapter, asking for monthly tickets! I have a bit of writer's block, so this is a bit of a transition.
The new plot will start tomorrow.
