Chapter 48 - Metal Devouring Art! Great Increase in Strength! (2/2)

The Beast Origin Skill was only used to lay the foundation for demon beasts.

With the green caterpillar’s current soul power cultivation, its foundation was relatively stable.

This method was gradually becoming useless.

“Right…”

Wang Che seemed to have thought of something, “Metal Devouring Worm! An ancient exotic insect that can devour everything and has almost the same characteristics as Taotie. In the cultivation world, such insects could be considered extremely abnormal!”

Wang Che’s eyes lit up.

“I remember raising a bunch of these little things back then and even studying them. This little thing’s strength is definitely not comparable to the natural-born ferocious beast Taotie. It needs to grow for a long time when it’s young.”

“In the initial stages of childhood, it can only devour the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and all kinds of metal for its own use. After becoming stronger, it can devour all kinds of artifacts and immortal medicines… It can absorb anything.”

“When I studied the Metal Devouring Worm back then, I specially developed a method, the Metal Devouring Art, that can accelerate the growth of the Metal Devouring Worm…”

“Metal Devouring Art, why didn’t I think of it? I just need to modify it a little. It’s not a problem for this little guy to absorb the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf anymore!”

Wang Che’s thoughts were clear.

The Metal Devouring Art was not complicated. Initially, it was only targeted at the young Metal Devouring Worms to accelerate their absorption efficiency.

It was a cultivation method created by studying the body structure of the Metal Devouring Worm.

The idea was feasible. The body structure of the green caterpillar immediately appeared in Wang Che’s mind.

Then, he started to write and draw on the training ground.

In little to no time, the Metal Devouring Art was completed, improved according to the green caterpillar’s requirements.

Making modifications to the original foundation was as easy as breathing to him.

According to the Soul Guiding Skill of this world, Wang Che changed certain keywords in the spell technique.

The green caterpillar that had broken through to a hundred years had already become much more intelligent.

Wang Che treated this Metal Devouring Art as a Soul Guiding Skill and handed it to this child to learn. He did not need to draw patterns or tell stories like how he taught the Beast Origin Skill.

In just one night, this child had learned this modified Metal Devouring Art.

When the green caterpillar first cultivated the Metal Devouring Art, as expected, there was an obvious change!

First of all, the surface of its body gradually turned from cold to hot.

A faint heat fog began to appear on its body.

It looked like it was in a sauna.

“It’s the fire attribute life force in the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf that it ate previously. After eating so much, despite not absorbing it, the energy remained in its body… If it couldn’t absorb it for a long time, there was a high chance that it would have slowly disappeared or expelled from the body…”

Wang Che’s eyes flickered. He was right.

“Now that it’s cultivating the Metal Devouring Art, the green caterpillar can absorb the fire attribute life force in its body and use it for itself… Cultivating the Raging Flame Strike next will not be a problem. Other than that, the Metal Devouring Art can also accelerate the absorption of soul power… Its cultivation speed will increase by a level.”

The biggest problem was resolved.

In the next few days, the green caterpillar’s body began to undergo obvious changes as it slowly absorbed the fire attribute life force.

The most obvious thing was that its resistance to flames was slowly rising.

Fire was the absolute nemesis of most bugs.

This was especially true for attribute soul skills. It would definitely be fatal to bug-type soul pets as long as they were hit.

By increasing its fire resistance, if the green caterpillar faced fire attribute soul pets in the future, it would at least not be too disadvantaged.

In the Enlightenment Cup, Wang Che was considered lucky to not have encountered a fire attribute soul pet as an opponent.

In the future, this could definitely happen.

Just like that…

In the end, one day before exploring the wilderness, the green caterpillar barely learned the Raging Flame Strike.

Its soul power cultivation had also broken through 200 years, reaching 225 years.

In the span of two months…

It adapted to the mechanical meteorite armor!

It learned a new cultivation technique!

Its body had developed a certain resistance to fire!

It learned a rare and powerful hundred-year attribute soul skill!

Its soul power cultivation and physical strength had increased drastically!

Next, the pair would go to explore the mysterious and dangerous wilderness…
