Chapter 18 (1/2)

A rare soul pet had actually lost.

Most of the sparring partners were aghast.

“It was a worthy loss.”

The middle-aged man on the third floor also shook his head as he said, “This student over there isn’t as simple as he looks to be. Although his soul pet is just a green caterpillar, this is the first time I’ve seen such amazing training.

“Especially the entire flow of the battle…” he muttered as he frowned. “Little Le was completely swept under the control of the other party. It makes me feel… that Little Le was not facing his classmate… but rather…”

He was against an opponent with extremely rich combat experience, basically a combat master!

He could tell that from the beginning, the other party had been setting up a trap, slowly luring his son into it.

Otherwise, he would not have lost so helplessly.

“Teacher Yan, this child…” he trailed off as he glanced at the elder beside him.

“His name is Wang Che, from Skyheart First High,” the old man said simply. “I don’t know much about anything else, but this battle really made me see him in a different light.”

“Oh?”

The middle-aged man was instantly surprised.

Although this battle was interesting, it was only ordinary entertainment.

After all, the soul pets of both sides had not even gotten the hang of soul powers, and their soul power cultivation was meager.

They had not even reached a hundred years of cultivation yet.

Of course, there had been many impressive aspects, but it wasn’t to the extent where the old man had to say that he saw the person in a different light, right? .

“The first time I saw this green caterpillar was about two weeks ago. Do you know what the length of its soul power cultivation was?”

The old man’s eyes flickered as he inquired.

“30 years?” the younger man replied as he thought about it.

The elder smiled and revealed.

“No, it just hatched a day or two earlier.”

The other man was left speechless…

It had just hatched? In other words, it reached 50 years in two weeks?

What kind of speed was that?

It was already comparable to rare soul pets, or even faster!

How could a green caterpillar have such rapid cultivation speed?

“It is indeed extraordinary…” His expression changed immediately.

The old man added slowly, “Of course, that’s not the only thing that impressed me…”

“Hmm?”

The middle-aged man was confused.

“Think about the battle just now. Did you sense the soul power fluctuation of that green caterpillar?”

Hearing this, the younger one was shocked…

——

Yuan Xiaole was very unwilling to concede defeat.

However, what could he do?

With a leap, he jumped off the high platform.

“Kuka! Kuka!”

The Kuka Beast waved its arms at Yuan Xiaole, indicating that it could still fight!

“It’s okay.”

He patted the beast’s head and smiled, “You’ve already done well. It’s that green caterpillar that’s a little too strong…”

Although he was hesitant, he had to admit that it was too abnormal.

As he regained his senses at this moment, he replayed the match in his head, and he actually had a lingering fear in his heart.

Speed was the greatest advantage of the Kuka Beast.

He had relied on this to attack from the beginning, but it seemed that Wang Che had been plotting to remove their convenience from the start.

Only at the end did he realize what was going on.

Of course, the most important thing was that the green caterpillar was not ordinary at all.

“Kuka!”

The Kuka Beast lowered its head. It was not satisfied.

“Don’t worry!” cheered Yuan Xiaole, comforting it. “After you take control of your soul skill, you’ll definitely be able to defeat that green caterpillar!”

“Kuka!” The beast pulled itself together.

Suddenly, wisps of white mist began to emanate from its body as a faint soul power fluctuation began to spread throughout its physique.

“This is…”

Yuan Xiaole was dumbfounded.

“It’s a soul skill.”

At the side, Wang Che walked over with his green caterpillar, saying, “Your Kuka Beast is about to learn a soul skill. It’ll take a few more days, and it’ll be able to comprehend it when its soul power cultivation improves.”

Such soul power fluctuation was obviously bizarre.

Naturally, it was a sign that it had developed a soul skill.

It was the same situation when Wang Che had his green caterpillar attack the first time.

However, the comprehension of soul skills was not instantaneous.

It required a process to master and use it, so it would take a few days.

“Holy f*ck!” Yuan Xiaole was excited right away. “This battle was a good loss!”

“It’s not entirely because of this,” Wang Che explained. “You already had several fights before this, so it must be the Kuka Beast’s own accumulation and understanding. It just happened that this battle triggered its insight.”

The first soul skill a Kuka Beast would learn was usually around 40 years.

Yuan Xiaole was thrilled.

Comprehending a soul skill was not a simple task.

Many soul pets, even at the proper age of cultivation, would still be unable to do so, not to mention learning it in advance.

“Haha, Brother Che, you won’t be able to beat me the next time we fight,” laughed Yuan Xiaole. “The first ten-year soul skill of the Kuka Beast is the Gale Flash. It can instantly defeat your green caterpillar!”

Gale Flash was the first ten-year soul skill that was learned by most soul pets that were proficient in speed.

It would allow them to circulate soul power through their limbs, enabling them to run in a flash. At the same time, as the soul power fluctuated, a mighty flow of wind would cause their entire body to charge toward their opponent.

When put up against someone of the same cultivation level and age, it was basically impossible to dodge.

It was indeed extremely powerful.

Wang Che smiled.

If the green caterpillar had used its soul skill earlier, it would not have needed to use its silk thread to fight head-on.

If it had used the Rumbling Tail Strike attack, just one hit would have been enough to knock the Kuka Beast down.

The enhancement of a soul skill usually made it several times more powerful.

“That’s all for today. School starts tomorrow, so I have to return home and prepare.”

Wang Che grinned.

This battle was mainly to help the green caterpillar understand what it meant to battle.

From the looks of it, the little one had done well.

Other than its speed, of course.

“Sure, I’ll drive you.”

Yuan Xiaole nodded. He thought of something all of a sudden, but did not bother raising the question.

‘How is your green caterpillar so strong, especially in its defense?’

It was absolutely ridiculous.

However, when he thought about it, cultivating soul pets was a personal matter. Even if there was a special method, it wouldn’t be shared.

Ultimately, there was no need to ask.

Wang Che nodded and left with his soul pet.

The battle today had given him a lot to think about.

By facing a speedy soul pet that could easily surpass the green caterpillar despite nearly 20 years of difference in cultivation, he observed that the difference in potential between the two races was simply too great.

Indeed, it was hard to make up for it by relying solely on extra training.

If it had been any other green caterpillar, it would have been nigh impossible to avoid the first attack of the Kuka Beast.

Moreover, even if he had used his soul power, the green caterpillar’s speed would not have had much of a difference.

‘I have to think of a way to improve its speed.’

Wang Che proceeded to mutter to himself, “Otherwise, it would be very difficult to fight without using soul skills against soul pets with a soul power cultivation 10 to 20 years higher that specialize in speed.”

There was no way to make up for the contrast in their potential. They could only rely on training.

He thought for a long time and had some ideas.

After sending Wang Che off, Yuan Xiaole returned to the club excitedly.
