Chapter 37 (1/2)

With that, the battle commenced.

The green caterpillar and the Cloud Cap Snake both rushed towards each other at almost the same time.

Streaks of green coloured light outlined the arena.

However, the green caterpillar was no match for the Cloud Cap Snake’s speed.

Wang Che had already expected this to happen.

“The species potential of an extremely rare soul pet is unparalleled. As long as its soul power cultivation increases every year, its body’s strength will too. Thus, no matter how hard the green caterpillar trains, it’ll still be hard to go head to head with an extremely rare soul pet. Lin Xi’s Cloud Cap Snake already has a soul power cultivation that surpasses 80 years… even nearing 90 years now… its growth is rather quick… and her nurturing isn’t slacking either.”

It was as if Wang Che knew the outcome of this match.

The Cloud Cap Snake had exceptionally great speed, but at the same time, its strength, physique, and defense were all above average as well.

In other words, it had no particular weaknesses.

Of course, this was a defining feature of most extremely rare soul pets.

Even more so for Lin Xi’s Cloud Cap Snake.

“Rumbling Tail Strike!”

“Rumbling Tail Strike!”

The soul pets’ tails began to glow with white light simultaneously.

They had both used the Rumbling Tail Strike.

However, due to its tremendous speed and the momentum it gathered, the Cloud Cap Snake was even faster than the green caterpillar in executing the move!

Bang!

The two tails collided, causing an explosion from the intense soul power fluctuation.

Then, the two figures were quickly separated by the impact.

The green caterpillar was sent flying more than ten meters backwards.

On the other hand, the Cloud Cap Snake managed to catch itself after spending about eight or nine meters in the air.

It was evident that the Cloud Cap Snake possessed more strength in this match.

The difference was enormous.

Extremely rare soul pets were really no joke after all.

Among the thousand or so people in this Enlightenment Cup, there were only two or three contestants who owned extremely rare soul pets at their infant stage.

Unlike normal soul pets who have undergone their third stage evolution, a normal person couldn’t just afford to raise soul pets that were already extremely rare at infancy.

Even after meeting the conditions, he or she may not be able to sign a life contract with the soul pet egg successfully.

“The difference in strength is obvious.”

Wang Che was painfully aware of this fact.

Lin Xi, being the direct and straightforward person she is, decided to be upfront about it.

The green caterpillar was indeed no match for the Cloud Cap Snake.

She didn’t need to resort to fancy tactics.

In fact, their matchup now was somewhat equivalent to how Wang Che had crushed his previous opponents.

In a single move.

Now, neither side seemed to have any intention of making another move.

Nevertheless, the audience could easily tell that the difference in strength was much too great for Wang Che to do anything.

Lin Xi simply observed quietly.

There was no smugness or arrogance in her eyes, only calm.

Her beautiful facial features exuded a domineering aura, as if she was looking down at everybody else from atop an iceberg.

Meanwhile, the audience widened their eyes to watch their next moves intently without making a single noise…

“Use Spit Thread,” Wang Che instructed slowly.

Without any delay, light began to flash in the green caterpillar’s mouth, and in a split second, white threads as thick as bamboo shoots flew towards the Cloud Cap Snake.

The Cloud Cap Snake instantly reacted before Lin Xi could even give an order.

A soul pet that had quick reflexes, like this Cloud Cap Snake, would find it easy to avoid getting hit by many soul skills.

By leaping high into the air, it managed to dodge the threads being shot at it.

“Leap back down and attack the green caterpillar with your tail!” Lin Xi immediately ordered.

The Cloud Cap Snake let out a low cry. It had jumped even higher than the green caterpillar did before.

“Damn, this looks familiar!”

On the viewing platform, Yuan Xiaole began laughing to himself when he saw this. “Brother Che, I didn’t expect to see you like this. That was exactly how you suppressed me in the first round. Now, I see you’re getting the same treatment from Lin Xi.”

He was indeed very familiar with what was happening.

However, Wang Che’s next command took him by surprise.

“Bite on the white thread and flick yourself over!”

Heeding his orders, the green caterpillar bit down on the white silk. Since the Cloud Cap Snake had managed to avoid getting trapped by the other end of the thread, it was now stuck on the ground.
