Chapter 39 (1/2)
Wang Che had not expected that the power of the Seed Bomb would cause such devastating damage to the white silk.
Although he had seen the Cloud Cap Snake use this soul skill during the previous round, its power in actual combat was much stronger than expected, surpassing all of Wang Che’s estimations.
However, after using it once, the soul power of the Cloud Cap Snake would definitely have decreased drastically.
This move was indeed very powerful. On top of being able to deal damage to a large target area, it could also restore a certain amount of the user’s soul power and stamina. Nevertheless, the soul power consumption was far greater than any recovery it provided!
Unbeknownst to Lin Xi and the Cloud Cap Snake, Wang Che had been waiting patiently for them to use Seed Bomb all along!
The ultimate goal of his strategy was to force them to release this move.
Since this was such a powerful move that the Cloud Cap Snake had only just learned, it would not be able to execute it continuously.
At its current state, another use of Seed Bomb would only end up incapacitating the Cloud Cap Snake!
In fact, any advantage that it had previously held over the green caterpillar disappeared in that instant!
Naturally, Wang Che wouldn’t let his own soul pet hold back under such circumstances.
As he called out to the green caterpillar, it began to tremble as if being electrocuted, before letting out a few cries.
All of a sudden, wisps of soul power were released from its body.
To the naked eye, it looked as if strange coloured smoke was enveloping the green caterpillar’s body.
Its body also started to turn from a shade of emerald green to dark green, before eventually becoming black!
Soul Armor Haki was a technique to utilize soul power.
It was not just a form of soul power manifestation. That was merely a condition to learn the Soul Armor Haki.
By affixing soul power to the surface of the user’s body, it would become much stronger and sturdier. In addition, it would increase the user’s strength and defense significantly, while also boosting their speed.
On their first day of training, Wang Che had taught the green caterpillar how to manifest its own soul power.
Over the course of the next few days, it slowly started to learn the Soul Armor Haki.
Just like during training, the colour of the green caterpillar’s body began to change.
The yellow rays of the sun shone down from the transparent ceiling of the gymnasium and landed on the green caterpillar’s hide.
Its entire body glowed with a bright luster.
It was as if a layer of pitch-black armor had been painted on the green caterpillar!
Everyone who had been watching this change was instantly stunned.
What was going on?
What happened?
Why did the green caterpillar’s color change?
Soul skill? What soul skill could this be?
Evolution or mutation?
Myriads of questions popped up in everyone’s minds.
Even Professor Yan from the soul beast research base could not help but fix his eyes intently on the green caterpillar.
He didn’t understand it at all…
“What’s that?”
Upon looking at the green caterpillar, Lin Xi suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Something was wrong, something was very wrong indeed!
At the next moment, the green caterpillar suddenly moved.
Like an inky-black bolt of lightning, it charged straight at the Cloud Cap Snake!
So quick!
After its transformation, its speed was basically the same as the Cloud Cap Snake’s now!
Even though there had been such a huge gap between the two previously!
Not to mention, the Cloud Cap Snake was also an extremely rare soul pet that specialized in speed!
“Be careful!”
Lin Xi immediately shouted.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Cap Snake also looked very shocked. What on earth was going on with this green caterpillar?
How did its speed suddenly increase so much?
Regardless, they didn’t have the time to think.
The Cloud Cap Snake used the Rumbling Tail Strike mercilessly.
“Hiss!”
Its pride as an extremely rare soul pet would not allow the green caterpillar to escape today.
Seeing Lin Xi’s reaction, the Cloud Cap Snake immediately rushed over. Twisting its body like a top, it used a Rumbling Tail Strike to clash with the caterpillar head-on.
Bang!
The air around them exploded like two firecrackers had just collided.
A huge explosion shook up the countless rocks and dust particles in the arena once again.
Countless gazes watched on anxiously.
Swoosh!
One of them was sent flying!
It was the Cloud Cap Snake!
