Yuan Xiaole looked at the green caterpillar behind Wang Che.
He was shocked.
To be frank, a 50 centimeter green caterpillar was not considered big; there were many of them outside the war zone too.
However…
Ten days ago, this green caterpillar clearly only had ten years of cultivation base!
“How… how did you raise it?”
Yuan Xiaole studied the adorable little one.
Its two large eyes were extremely energetic.
“Ssss!”
It peered at him and subconsciously glanced at his shoulder.
Realizing that it was unoccupied, it immediately lost interest and looked elsewhere.
“It was artificially cultivated, of course,” Wang Che said. “Manually cultivated.”
“Then, its talent is too strong,” thought Yuan Xiaole aloud. “I remember that the aptitude of green caterpillars is very low. It’s stupid, and its cultivation speed is very slow.”
Hearing this, the insect immediately turned around and glared at him.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” shrieked Yuan Xiaole as he jumped in fright and quickly took two steps back. “I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about other green caterpillars. This insect of yours is very intelligent.”
He quickly apologized. A soul pet’s anger should not be underestimated.
It curled up its body and moved to his side, hissing twice.
“What does it mean?” he asked, confused. “Is it praising me?”
“It’s scolding you,” retorted Wang Che.
“Scolding me?”
Yuan Xiaole looked at it for a long time, but did not understand.
“How?”
“Look at it. What does it look like?” Wang Che asked.
“It looks like a piece of dung… F*ck…”
Yuan Xiaole was instantly enraged, and he pretended to be fierce as he taunted, “Just you wait, little one, I’ll let my Kuka Beast teach you a lesson!”
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar tilted its head, as if it was not the slightest bit afraid.
Then, Yuan Xiaole brought Wang Che into the club.
It was overwhelmed with people, and the place was vast.
“Soul pet battles mainly reflect battles between soul pets, while the Contract Soul Master plays the role of commanding outside the battlefield. If the soul pet’s physical strength is insufficient, it’ll lose the ability to fight, which is considered a loss.
“After they fall, stop attacking.
“The venue is divided into several levels according to size.”
…
The rules of soul pet battles were not complicated, especially in a professional battle club.
As soon as Yuan Xiaole entered, many club trainers came flocking towards him.
“Young Master Yuan, are you not going to battle with us today?”
“Young Master Yuan, Boss Yuan said he would come to check on you today. Would you like to practice with us?”
“That’s right… Don’t worry, Young Master Yuan. We’ll fight seriously today and we won’t go easy on you!”
The sparring partners ranged from 20 to 30 years old. Some were university students, and some were amateur Contract Soul Masters.
There were also one or two professional Contract Soul Masters among them with badges pinned on their chests.
Yuan Xiaole’s voice was loud and clear as he announced, “Let’s go, let’s go. Everyone, move aside. I’m going to have a match with my classmate today. All of you, move aside!”
Hearing his words, they had no choice but to scatter off.
Then, they turned their attention toward Wang Che, stunned.
“Is that a green caterpillar?”
“It is. From its size, it should be around 50 years old. It hasn’t evolved yet?”
“A 50-year-old green caterpillar is not as good as Young Master Yuan’s Kuka Beast in terms of potential.”
“A 50-year-old Green Nether Butterfly can barely even hold a candle to a Kuka Beast.”
“The Kuka Beast is a rare soul pet. Its species potential is 150 points higher than the green caterpillar… Although the difference in age is only 20 years, it still can’t make up for the power difference… unless it’s 100 years old.”
“No wonder you’re so confident, Young Master Yuan.”
“However, the fact that the green caterpillar hasn’t evolved for 50 years means that there’s something fishy going on. Young Master Yuan might not win.”
The few sparring partners discussed among themselves.
Wang Che smiled and nodded.
These people were not bad. They were very well aware of the basic situation of soul pets.
Soon after, Wang Che and Yuan Xiaole arrived at a small battlefield.
The size of the arena was about the size of two basketball courts, made for battles between soul pets that were under 100 years old.
There were five tall platforms on each side of the arena, allowing the Contract Soul Masters to perch and give commands.
The ground was made from ordinary rocks, very firm and easy to fix as there were rock type soul pets specially utilized for repair procedures.
Even if the entire place was destroyed, it could be restored in a very short time.
“Shall we begin?”
Yuan Xiaole beckoned to the other sparring partners, “Come and be the judges.”
With that, he walked to the stage first.
“Kuka Beast!”
