Chapter 121 - You're Too Strong, I'm Not Worthy of Becoming
Glory City was indeed a huge city.
This was Wang Che’s first feeling after arriving at Glory City’s maglev train station.
The train station was halfway up the mountain. It was not high, but looking down, it could still see part of Glory City.
The most eye-catching thing was a very tall building.
This was because there was an extremely large soul pet icon on the building.
The soul pet was a Bamboo Bear.
Its size was similar to that of Earth’s panda, but was slightly smaller overall and looked very cute
It had a tail that was slightly longer, like a ball of thread.
It was a continental pet of the West Peak Continent.
“The Bamboo Bear is our West Peak Continent’s lucky beast.”
The rescue team leader brought Wang Che to the train station instead of going to the military base at the border.
Here, they could transfer to another station and arrive at the hotel prepared by the school to rest.
“Then there’s a historical saying,” Wang Che said with a smile.
“Of course.” The rescue captain said with a serious expression, “The West Peak Continent has many mountains and precipitous ridges. During the war back then, the environment here was dangerous. Although the Bamboo Bear looks likable, it could easily survive in such a dangerous environment. Back then, the predecessors of the West Peak Continent relied on nurturing the Bamboo Bear. Under the invasion of powerful enemies from the outside world, it survived in the dangerous environment of the West Peak Continent.”
“Leading our clansmen and leading the Bamboo Bear army, we rushed out of the West Peak Continent and tore apart the defense of the powerful enemies…”
“Later on, they became the lucky beasts of our West Peak Continent. Our Eastern War Zone and even all nine continents all have our own lucky beasts. These lucky beasts might not have high species potential, but their innate talent is very strong.”
“There are many students training Bamboo Bears in Glory City.”
The rescue captain also smiled and said, “If you encounter it in the competition, you have to be careful. The Bamboo Bear is very strong. Moreover, its evolution has many directions.”
Wang Che did not see many Bamboo Bears in Skyheart City.
Skyheart City’s soul pet base had one.
However, students rarely saw training.
The Bamboo Bear did not have high requirements for food. Even if it ate ordinary bamboo, trees, and grass, it could slowly grow.
However, it had a huge appetite. Ordinary families did not want to train it.
During the war, the population had decreased sharply. The West Peak Continent lacked nothing and did not lack any bamboo forests.
Moreover, the other soul pets were either dead or unable to adapt to the environment.
The Bamboo Bear was very adaptable. Coupled with the thick skin, it was naturally very easy to nurture.
The modern world… was actually not that bad.
Small families could still be nurtured without pressure.
Glory City was the Continental City of the West Peak Continent. Most families here were well to do, so it was naturally very easy to breed Bamboo Bears.
The Bamboo Bear’s species potential was only close to the extremely rare level and was only a rare soul pet.
“I hope we can meet,” Wang Che said.
When they arrived at the train station, the students who had already completed the competition waited quietly in the hall.
The rescue team bade farewell to Wang Che and said that they would seek credit for him when they returned to the military.
Therefore, this time, they did not give Wang Che points like in the wilderness competition.
After all, it was hard to say.
At that time, there were only 30 people in the wilderness competition.
This competition was entirely to let the students quickly enter a safe zone.
Moreover, there were too many participants.
There were hundreds of them.
Wang Che had already exceeded the limit by half an hour.
To Wang Che, not to mention this kind of entertainment competition, even if it was an official competition, he was not interested.
As for whether it would add points to the Aviation Cup, Wang Che did not care.
Wang Che was already quite satisfied with the outcome.
He felt that no reward could compare to the growth of the green caterpillar.
Because in essence, most of the rewards were used to train soul pets and make them grow.
“Old Wang, did you encounter something on the way? With your speed, you shouldn’t have taken so long!” Xu Haifeng asked directly.
After meeting up with the students, many of them were clearly very curious.
“I encountered something on the way.” Wang Che said.
“What’s the matter? With your strength, even if it’s a green caterpillar running at full speed, it should at least be in the top three in the competition, right?”
Xu Haifeng was confused.
“To be honest, on the way, my green caterpillar was too fast and suddenly fell into a river.” Wang Che explained slowly.
Many students immediately listened attentively.
There was such a thing?
Even the green caterpillar that had completely recovered was stunned. When did I fall into the river?
“Then?” Xu Haifeng asked.
“Then, a mysterious old man with ten soul rings flew out of the river. He looked like a Heavenly King War God.”
Wang Che’s tone changed.
Everyone could tell that Wang Che was bragging!
But their ears pricked up even higher.
Clearly, they wanted to continue listening.
The green caterpillar could not help but listen seriously.
Its Contract Soul Master was a genius in telling stories!
“After this mysterious old man came out of the river, he grabbed a green caterpillar on each hand. However, the one on the left is a golden green caterpillar, and the one on the right is a silver green caterpillar.”
“He asked me: Young man, did you drop this golden caterpillar or this silver caterpillar?”
“I said, it’s neither. It’s just a green caterpillar.”
The green caterpillar: “…”
“The old man smiled and threw the two caterpillars into the river. He took out an ordinary green caterpillar from his back. Is it this one?”
“That’s right.”
“The old man laughed, but he did not give me the green caterpillar. Instead, he threw it down the river again and flew away.”
“I’m very angry and confused.”
“But immediately after, a violent light suddenly emitted from the river. As the river surged, a green dragon flew out and circled in the air, staring at me.”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
They were attracted by the story.
“Wang Che, could this dragon be your green caterpillar? Where’s that old man?”
The green caterpillar nodded and looked at Wang Che, ‘Then it’s me?’
‘So I have to jump into the river to evolve into a dragon?’
‘Got it!’
“That dragon looked at me and actually spoke in the human tongue: ‘Human, you’ve passed my test. You didn’t even choose gold or silver, which means that you’re not greedy and only want what’s yours. I stayed by your side in the form of a green caterpillar to test you.'”
“Now, you’ve passed my test. So next…”
“That dragon became your soul pet?” Everyone couldn’t help but ask.
The green caterpillar nodded repeatedly. That was definitely the case.
“No, it flew away. It said: You’re too strong. I don’t deserve to be your soul pet.”
“…”
The green caterpillar fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting this answer.
Then, there was another round of laughter.
“F*ck!” Xu Haifeng pointed his middle finger at Wang Che, “I understand what you mean. You mean you’re too strong and don’t want us to compete, right? You’re giving us a chance?”
“I didn’t say that,” Wang Che said, “You understand too well.”
Teacher Zheng’s lips twitched.
Fortunately, after Wang Che finished speaking, no one asked him why he did not participate in the competition.
After some teasing, everyone arrived at the hotel that was customized by the school.
He could register tomorrow and certify his personal and soul pet information.
Three days later, it was the opening ceremony of the competition.
Today’s battle consumed a lot of energy.
After returning to the hotel, he entered an independent room with a decent environment.
Wang Che first replayed the battle with the green caterpillar.
The little guy was still very proud.
It was very satisfied with its results.
Wang Che did not hurt the green caterpillar’s pride and even praised it for the first time.
This was how life and death battles were. One had to nurture their confidence.
Many soul pet battles were held in the various war zones every year.
Other than training soul pets with battle experience, it was naturally to let the soul pet gain confidence and aura through victory.
In a life and death battle like this, after winning, one could nurture their aura and confidence.
Of course, they could not be too arrogant.
“In the Aviation Cup, we should be able to meet many powerful soul pets that are outstanding.”
As Wang Che fed it, he said, “Their cultivation might not be as high as the Rain Demon Butterfly, but under the restrictions of the rules, they can definitely unleash a very powerful combat strength. Don’t get complacent.”
“There’s also the martial soul… That Ghost Disciple’s martial soul is very ordinary. In my opinion, it’s only an Outstanding grade martial soul, but its form is very strong.”
“Moreover, he didn’t completely use it on soul pets. He only amplified them.”
“Martial souls can affect soul pets. Even without a soul skill, it can bring extraordinary changes!”
Wang Che had a deeper impression of He Zhenfeng’s Lightning Roaring Tiger.
The awakening of a martial soul also meant that the future path of a person would slowly be formed.
The style, system, and so on would all have a direction to go.
In comparison, it was only starting now.
“The types of professional Contract Soul Masters are also very different. Their use and actual combat strength are worlds apart.”
After the green caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword fell asleep, Wang Che began to cultivate and think.
Today, he could be considered to have truly fought with the Contract Soul Master.
It made Wang Che feel a little emotional.
“The cultivation of the martial soul can’t fall behind. If not for that wisp of Hundred Refinements soul power today, I really wouldn’t have been able to unleash the Heavenly Lightning Slash.” Wang Che thought.
Especially in terms of martial soul, the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace was too powerful. The difficulty of cultivating it was definitely much stronger than other people’s martial souls.
This was how martial souls were.
The higher the grade of a martial soul, the more difficult it was to cultivate.
For example, if this wisp of Hundred Refinements soul power was only a Superb grade martial soul, Wang Che felt that it could materialize and produce effects already.
However, when a wisp of Hundred Refinements soul power was injected into the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace, there was no reaction.
It only made the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace look slightly more solid.
It was not that easy to manifest it.
The first step of martial soul cultivation was materialization and possession.
Normally, it could be completed by Level 10.
The stronger the martial soul, the slower it would be.
Ordinary or Outstanding martial souls could be materialized or undergo possession not long after awakening.
For example, in today’s competition, many people’s martial soul were Ordinary or Outstanding grade. They could be used immediately after awakening for a week.
Moreover, the martial soul’s aptitude could be improved.
For martial souls below the Mythical grade, the cultivation speed would not be too different.
For some excellent martial souls, as long as the life contract was high, it was possible to have innate aptitude of Level 8 or 10.
For a lazy person like Xu Haifeng, although he had an inherited martial soul, he only did the most simple training and playing with his soul pet every day. His life contract was very ordinary and he only had the innate aptitude of Level 7.
It was just that such situations were rare.
However, it could also be seen that Ordinary or Outstanding martial souls actually had extraordinary combat strength in the early stages.
In the later stages, as long as the soul pet matched well, it was not weak.
It was just that the higher the grade of a martial soul, the higher the limit and the harder it was to cultivate.
“I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to let the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace truly materialize… but I can let the first level materialize first.”
Wang Che pondered and said, “To materialize the first level and open the door to the first level, it does not require much Hundred Refinements soul power.”
After the first level was materialized, Wang Che could develop its ability..
