“Use your tail to bounce up and dodge.”
Wang Che said lightly.
The green caterpillar immediately shrank into a spring, and just as the Kuka Beast was about to collide with it, it suddenly leaped.
Its body was extremely flexible.
This was a stance that it cultivated.
It had practiced often and was very familiar with this, and therefore its reaction was also very quick.
“Huh? It can even move like this… What a fast reaction…” Yuan Xiaole was taken aback.
He thought the green caterpillar would dodge to the left or right, but with the Kuka Beast’s reaction speed, it would not be able to get away.
Even if it was only lightly grazed, it would be sent flying by the impact.
However, it bounced up directly…
“It can jump this high?”
Yuan Xiaole glanced at the green caterpillar that had just vaulted itself and was more than ten meters high up.
He had a faint feeling that something was amiss.
Even his Kuka Beast was not able to jump this high!
‘It should be because its body is relatively light…’ he thought to himself.
Wang Che continued with his orders, “Use your tail and strike at the beast!”
The bug dived toward the ground, and flung its tail at the Kuka Beast as it neared the floor.
Because Wang Che had mentioned not to use soul skills, it purely used its body to swing its tail instead.
Soul skills were different from ordinary attacks.
Soul pets could use many moves according to their attack style.
A few examples would be impact, jumping, punching, kicking, swinging, and flying.
Different types of soul pets had varying body structures and also innate abilities.
For instance, some flying type soul pets had feathers that could be equipped as weapons.
Plant type soul pets had their own poison that could cause casualties upon contact.
Fire type soul pets contained high temperatures that could directly harm enemies.
A casual punch from them was not only powerful, but it could also burn their opponents.
However, these were not soul skills.
Power was only determined by the physical strength of the soul pet.
As for soul skills, they were impressive abilities that required soul power to function!
It far exceeded mediocre strikes.
“How powerful can a green caterpillar be? Even if it uses its soul power, it can only be so strong…” Yuan Xiaole mocked disdainfully as he watched the scene unfold. “Kuka Beast, send it flying with a single punch!”
“Kuka!”
The Kuka Beast braked and reacted quickly. It straightened its body and whammed its fist on the insect’s tail.
Bang!
The two collided and instantly caused a huge tremor.
In the next moment, the beast’s arm turned soft, and its body flew backward as if it had been struck by a boulder!
It smashed into the ground, forming a small crater underneath as rocks scattered all around.
“Damn!”
Upon seeing this, Yuan Xiaole was appalled.
Not only was he dumbfounded, but the other sparring partners were the same.
“How can a 50-year-old green caterpillar have such powerful tail movements?” gasped the middle-aged man on the third floor as he looked on with a strange expression. “There’s no soul power fluctuation, and it’s not a soul skill either.
“A soul pet like the green caterpillar has very low species potential. Its physical strength is also very weak in all aspects.
“Not even a 100-year-old green caterpillar is supposed to be stronger than a 27-year-old Kuka Beast…
“Even if it used the advantage of the impact from falling from the sky, it shouldn’t have been able to send the Kuka Beast flying with one swing of the tail…”
He was confused.
The old man pondered but did not speak as his eyes flickered.
The two of them stayed silent and continued watching.
“Kuka!”
The beast shook its arm in pain.
Looking at the green caterpillar, questions filled its mind.
As Yuan Xiaole observed this situation, the strange feeling in his heart gradually increased.
However, he did not think too much about it.
“Kuka Beast! Stand up!” Yuan Xiaole suddenly screamed. “Speed up! Attack again!”
A green caterpillar of 50 years of cultivation had this much power after all. He could not underestimate it.
Hearing the order to accelerate, the Kuka Beast seemed to understand something.
It picked itself up and directly channelled the soul power in its body to charge at the green caterpillar again.
This time, its speed was upgraded to another level!
Within two blinks of the eye, it had already gotten close to the green caterpillar.
“Even if the same attack is faster, it’s useless…”
Wang Che’s eyes flashed.
After circulating its soul power, the Kuka Beast became much more vigorous in all aspects.
However, it could not completely crush the green caterpillar.
Especially this time, since it was prepared for the attack.
“Continue jumping.”
Wang Che ordered.
The green caterpillar sprung again.
“Now!”
Yuan Xiaole suddenly barked, “Attack it!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. How could it attack?
