Chapter 36 (2/2)

His opponent in the third round was Yuan Xiaole.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi had to face the young man from Xingyue High School.

So… Wang Che won the third round very easily.

Since Yuan Xiaole admitted defeat before it even began…

Regardless, it would have only taken him half a minute to deal with the Kuka Beast anyways.

It was already afternoon.

After his short lived match with Yuan Xiaole, Lin Xi also defeated the Wood Warlord.

That, however, made Wang Che frown.

Throughout the course of the match, neither side gave in, and they ended up fighting for more than ten minutes before Lin Xi finally won with a slight edge.

The deciding factor was the powerful attribute soul skill that Lin Xi’s Cloud Cap Snake learned during the battle.

Seed Bomb!

This caused the entire audience to burst into loud cheers!

“Alright… Learning a new move right in the middle of a match, she really must be heaven’s chosen one,” Wang Che thought to himself and smiled.

Besides training, the comprehension of a soul skill also relied on the soul pet’s own intelligence and ability.

Normally, extremely rare soul pets would need to reach the age limit and go through intense training in order to learn an attribute soul skill.

In turn, the attribute soul skill they learn would be far stronger than that of soul pets that were more common.

However, that also meant it would be much more difficult to comprehend a new soul skill.

In this regard, the Cloud Cap Snake was obviously very perceptive.

It was aware that its future potential was limitless.

Moreover, its growth was quite impressive even for extremely rare soul pets.

As the green caterpillar watched the battle with its own eyes, it began to send Wang Che signals.

‘Can I win?’

Wang Che simply smiled back at it. As the final round was about to begin, he brought the green caterpillar into the arena.

The Enlightenment Cup was considered to be relatively niche, since it was only a competition held by the major schools for their youths who aspired to become Contract Soul Masters.

As such, in the past, there wouldn’t be much of an audience in attendance, or even official commentators.

However, it was clearly different this time.

The battle platform for the finals began to transform.

Right now, the most eye-catching thing in the arena was the huge trophy on the ground, which had a brain-like symbol on it.

It was Dino Technology’s logo, since they were the sponsor of this competition after all.

Due to their prestige, the champion of this Enlightenment Cup would definitely get a huge boost in their scores whenever they took part in any college entrance examinations in the future.

Although it was only an entry level event in the soul pet world, participating in this competition would be undeniably useful and meaningful in the future.

Meanwhile, Wang Che and Lin Xi stood opposite each other on the competition stage.

“I didn’t expect this to happen.”

A smile appeared on Lin Xi’s lips. She looked somewhat astounded.

Seeing this, Wang Che wasn’t sure if she was still surprised by the new soul skill that her Cloud Cap Snake had learned in the middle of a fight, or the fact that Wang Che had managed to fight his way to the top.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect this outcome either,” Wang Che said, while nodding slowly. “I assumed you would lose to that Wood Warlord.”

From its name, one could tell that this was no ordinary soul pet.

The girl before him was incredible.

Since Skyheart City was not a big city, those who managed to emerge victorious in this competition were naturally no ordinary people.

Apart from Yuan Xiaole, of course.

“Yet, I still won in the end.”

Lin Xi continued, “Ever since winter break, you have managed to climb up to this stage. I have to admit that, in terms of training soul pets, you are much more skilled than me. Judging from the results of your previous battles, I can tell that you are much stronger than the opponents I’ve faced before this.

“You even trained your green caterpillar to learn the Rumbling Tail Strike.

“As expected of you.”

These words made Wang Che feel a little uneasy.

Without giving him time to respond, Lin Xi added.

“Nevertheless, you’ll have to beat me now…”

Lin Xi’s gaze suddenly intensified as a strong aura began to condense around her. “That will be impossible!”

As if on cue, the referee gave the order:

“Begin!”
