Chapter 74 - Returning with Huge Gains (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

The advancement of the evolutionary stage was the most direct and obvious way to increase a soul pet’s strength.

The increase through soul power cultivation was gradual and slow.

Wang Che patted the green caterpillar on the head.

To most soul pets, completing the third stage evolution was actually just the beginning.

The Aviation Cup meant setting sail or beginning their first flight.

The students were about to set sail and step into a brand new world.

The green caterpillar had to work hard.

“I didn’t mean that.” Chen Fei coughed, “By the way, how many Heart Rending Flowers did you get this time?”

The topic changed.

At this moment, Adjutant Li and Li Yanming walked over.

“Get in the car first and go back to the border.” Adjutant Li coughed, “It’s not suitable to spend the night here. I’ll send you back tomorrow morning.”

The group boarded the military off-road vehicle and drove towards the border.

“Heart Rending Flower? I don’t have many.” In the car, Bai Youyou chuckled, “There are only eight flowers. I should be last in the competition.”

“I didn’t get many either.” Cheng Cheng shook her head. “I can count them on one hand. Hmm, there are exactly nine.”

“I have ten.” Chen Fei thought for a moment, “Feng Xiao from the Glory Capital should have the most. He didn’t speak much on the communication device, but according to the other contestants, there should be more than twenty flowers.”

“He’s probably the first place.”

“Him again?” Bai Youyou frowned and said, “Is this guy that powerful? I’m always careful in the Floating Forest. I only go to the next location after confirming the safety of the surroundings. Every flower is very difficult.”

“Glory Capital is a large city of the West Peak Continent’s provincial capital. To be able to obtain the Enlightenment Cup, its value is not something other cities can compare to,” Cheng Cheng said. “His strength is naturally higher than other contestants.”

The three of them nodded in understanding.

“What about you, Wang Che?” Bai Youyou asked.

“Zero.”

“…”

The three of them had interesting expressions.

Wang Che did not care about the competition.

Entering a mystic realm treasure land like the Floating Forest was naturally to explore other things and find treasures that were suitable for him.

It was very troublesome to deal with those Heart Rending Ants, so Wang Che did not want to waste time on those Heart Rending Flowers.

If he really went for them, Wang Che estimated that he would not have the time to find other treasures.

For example, the remnant soul will, the jumping grass, the Soul Calming Fruit, the two stones that contained life force, and the ancient soul device…

More than half of them would not be his, let alone what happened next.

Wang Che’s goal in coming to the Floating Forest was very clear.

Therefore, he did not care about the competition at all.

On the other hand, other than a large sum of money, the rewards for the competition were only good cultivation resources and military soul devices.

The green caterpillar did not lack anything now. He just needed to develop steadily.

Of course, there was also the reputation and glory of the first place in the competition.

There was a certain bonus point for the college entrance examination. There was an additional bonus when choosing a suitable soul pet university.

This was the greatest reward.

However, Wang Che felt that these were not important.

“I understand now. Wang Che, you don’t care about the competition at all.” Bai Youyou nodded, “You’re really cool, but not to mention the 500,000 dollars and a bunch of resources, the first place in the competition can add bonus points to the college entrance examination. The top universities in the war zone will also specially recruit you.”

“Geniuses don’t need any bonus points,” Wang Che said. “As for universities, to geniuses, we’re the ones who choose them, not the other way around.”

The three of them: “…”

“That makes sense,” Chen Fei nodded in agreement.

“Alright…” Bai Youyou chuckled,” Are we too narrow-minded? “

“That’s true. Anyway, there’s no punishment for falling behind in the competition. Instead of wasting time dealing with the Heart Rending Ant and obtaining the Heart Rending Flower, why not spend time finding other good things?”

Even so, they still valued the competition.

The group chatted as they returned to the border.

Then, they slept for the entire night.

The next morning.

“Before leaving, we calculated your ranking in the two competitions for this Wilderness Soul Earth exploration.”

Adjutant Li looked at the energetic people and coughed a few times. He said seriously, “Actually, our military organized these two competitions for you newbies to see your comprehensive quality.”

“You’ve participated in the Enlightenment Cup and are all champions. You have a certain understanding of soul pet battles. However, soul pet battles are entertainment competitions built on a certain set of rules. However, exploring the Wilderness Soul Earth will be life-threatening.”

“Once there are battles, there are no rules to speak of.”

“After this exploration, I believe you all have accumulated some experience. When you encounter difficulties in the future, you can deal with them more calmly.”

“The following are your overall rankings.”

“Of course, there are differences in ranking, but there are no differences in the accumulated experience.”

“Therefore, no matter how bad the ranking is, there’s no need to be discouraged.”

“The ranking will be recorded in your student records. It is also the first honor to be recorded in the war zone before you became Contract Soul Masters.”

The few of them nodded. Adjutant Li’s words touched them.

The records of war zones would be recorded in the Eastern War Zone.

Similar to historical records, in XX year, XX month, XX day, a certain student won a XX ranking in the competition to explore the Wilderness Soul Earth.

They would leave it for future generations to judge.

Of course, the students were more concerned about the actual reward and bonus points.

“Chen Fei, 18th place in the first competition, 19th place in the second competition, 18th place overall.”

“Bai Youyou, 20th place in the first competition, 21st place in the second competition, 20th place overall.”

“Cheng Cheng, 21st place in the first competition, 20th place in the second competition, 19th place overall.”

When the results were out, they had expected this to be the case.

They were both on par with each other.

At this moment, Adjutant Li coughed and continued,
