Chapter 132 - It's Going to Be Blinding!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As expected, the next scene was very visual!
As the green caterpillar stood up again and again, the Ice Ya Beast became more and more excited as it howled in the cold wind.
It was as if it had been possessed.
Wu Xiao was also stunned.
This green caterpillar was too tenacious!
Every time it was knocked down by the Ice Ya Beast, it would continue to stand up as if it did not know fatigue.
Its health bar was ridiculously thick!
In the first five days, the Ice Ya Beast had never used all its soul skills like today. It used them one after another!
It was just to defeat this green caterpillar.
Everyone present exclaimed.
This was because this scene was very familiar, just like before.
The difference was that this Ice Ya Beast was also abnormally tenacious. The soul power in its body was very abundant, and the powerful ice life force was incomparable.
They fought until the last moment!
In the end, the Ice Ya Beast’s limbs trembled. It opened its mouth as if it wanted to unleash a soul skill.
However, what it spat out was a normal breath.
It seemed to have been completely emptied.
It was completely exhausted.
The green caterpillar opposite suffered countless injuries, its entire body trembling.
It turned from a green caterpillar to an ice caterpillar, its skin turning purple from the cold.
“An exciting moment has arrived! Now, both soul pets have reached the most crucial moment!”
“Who can last until the end?”
“We’ll see.”
While the commentator was excited, she was also a little tired.
Her mouth was dry from the talking.
In the distance, Wu Xiao was even more excited as she stared fixedly at the battle stage.
Up until now, she had already forgotten her original intention…
It was too exciting.
At this moment, the Ice Ya Beast seemed to be unable to hold on.
It really had no strength left.
From the beginning, the green caterpillar did not hit it at all.
However, casting a soul skill consumed too much soul power and spirit. An attribute soul skill also consumed more of the ice life force.
The Ice Ya Beast gradually fell…
At this moment!
Crack!
The green caterpillar closed its eyes. It had actually fallen slightly earlier!
Everyone was silent for a few seconds.
The referee was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wang Che and slowly said, “Green caterpillar is down. The Ice Ya Beast wins!”
There was an uproar!
The green caterpillar was still a little lacking.
Just one second!
It had fallen just a second earlier!
“I… I won?”
Wu Xiao was wild with joy as immense joy surged in her heart.
This joy was unprecedented!
She was even happier than when she had obtained the Ice Ya Beast!
In her immense joy, she vaguely thought of something…
‘Hmm… wait, what was I thinking at the start?’
It seemed like…
Eh, she wanted to lose…?
She only thought of it for a moment before she threw this thought to the back of her mind…
On the other side, Wang Che carried the green caterpillar and left the combat area.
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar immediately opened its eyes and called out to Wang Che, ‘How was it? How was it?’
“Not bad, you perfectly blinded your opponent… However, you did suffer quite a bit in this match.”
Wang Che nodded, “However, I also have some understanding of ice type soul skills now. There are very few ice type soul pets in our West Peak Continent. In the future, when we walk onto a larger stage, we will definitely encounter them. If we train more now, it won’t be difficult for us to fight in the future.”
The green caterpillar nodded in agreement.
It was indeed quite difficult to deal with the Ice Ya Beast. If they were of the same cultivation base, it would be difficult to defeat it if they did not take it seriously.
They once again arrived at the soul pet battlefield.
“This time, the little bug’s injuries are even worse than before.” The nurse softly said, “Did you encounter an ice type soul pet? There are very few ice type soul pets in our West Peak Continent, so it’s indeed very troublesome.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Wang Che said.
After the points control was completed, it was time to continue grinding and enter the second round.
After recovering the green caterpillar, Wang Che bade the nurse farewell.
Soon, Wu Xiao walked over excitedly. The Ice Ya Beast had slightly recovered its strength, so it naturally had to come and recover.
The nurse took a look and knew that it was most likely the handsome man’s opponent.
Thinking of the previous few matches, the nurse could not help but smile.
“Has the competition just ended?”
“Yes, yes,” Wu Xiao replied with a smile.
She was still very excited.
The nurse glanced at the Ice Ya Beast and smiled.
“Did you lose? You lost convincingly, but you’re a little unwilling?”
After all, those contestants in the previous rounds were all like this.
However, this time…
“Lost?” Wu Xiao was stunned, “No, I won! You might not believe it, but my Ice Ya Beast actually fought a green caterpillar to the last moment! In the end, it won with a slight advantage!”
“I’m so happy today. I wanted to lose, but I ended up meeting such a tenacious opponent.”
“You won?” The nurse was stunned and said in surprise, “How did you win? Although the student’s green caterpillar was heavily injured, it was still far from completely losing its combat strength… Eh…”
“?” Wu Xiao’s expression froze.
In an instant, the excitement in her heart quickly cooled down.
Images quickly flashed through her mind.
Then, with a bang!
“Damn!”
Wu Xiao could not help but curse, “I fell for it! He wants to lose too! That green caterpillar definitely did it on purpose!”
At the thought of how she had been stirred up the entire time and was in a state of high spirits, the more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt…
She was being led by the nose!
“Which godly person is this!”
——
After the points control was completed, Wang Che continued to let the green caterpillar maximize the experience for every round.
Unfortunately, he didn’t encounter any ice-type soul pets anymore.
Soon, the first week ended and the second round would begin after a day.
After the first round ended, some were happy, while others were sad.
Most of the students in Wang Che’s class lost in the first round.
A small number of them fought until today.
There were only a handful who could successfully enter the second round.
In the entire Skyheart City’s First High, there might only be 30 or so.
Including the other two high schools, there were less than 100 third-year students in Skyheart City who advanced to the second round.
This was because the points for elimination was very high.
One had to have at least 15 points to stay.
Many students only had a few points after fighting for seven days.
What did 15 points mean?
There were a total of 14 rounds in seven days.
This meant that they could only lose three rounds.
The rest were eliminated.
Most of the students had one loss for every two or three wins.
Their points were not high at all.
However, they had gone through fights every day in the competition.
The reason why there was no announcement about the requirement of 15 points was because they were afraid that the students would stop caring after knowing that they had lost three rounds with no chance of advancing.
The organizers had to keep them motivated… The competition rules were dirty but practical.
At the very least, many students were full of enthusiasm until the final match. What if they advanced?
“This competition is very obvious. Other than the first two rounds being used to filter the weak, they want these students to fight two more rounds and accumulate more experience.”
This was the meaning of the Aviation Cup’s points competition.
The final goal of the competition was to increase the combat experience of the students and soul pets.
After all, the Aviation Cup was for all the third-year students of the West Peak Continent.
In every battle, one could definitely see and learn different things.
Of course, accumulating experience was a benefit, but those who should be eliminated were still eliminated.
The champions of the various major cities’ Enlightenment Cup entered the second round.
Only a few people were unlucky enough to encounter some geniuses and were unfortunately eliminated.
For someone like Lin Xi, she directly won all ten matches and advanced early.
In this week, Wang Che cultivated diligently and also condensed a second wisp of Hundred Refinements soul power.
At the same time, Wang Che continued to train the green caterpillar’s use of Spit Thread and Rumbling Tail Strike.
“From the second round onwards, there will be random changes in the venue… You have to pay more attention to this.” Wang Che pondered.
Similar to the first round, the requirement for the second round was 60 points.
There were still two rounds every day.
The changes in the venue were according to the different environments in the wilderness.
It required a soul pet to adapt to various harsh environments.
The final goal of a soul pet battle with a professional nature was actually to increase the actual fighting strength of the Contract Soul Masters and soul pets.
The environment was naturally a topic that could not be avoided.
There were too many environmental changes in the wilderness.
“The opponents in the second round are much stronger.”
Wang Che looked at them. Basically, their soul pets’ cultivation levels were above 500 to 600 years.
There were some that were 700 to 800 years old.
They were basically all true elite students of the major cities.
If he was unlucky and encountered a powerful one, his points would decrease.
“In the first round, there are fewer opponents who use their martial souls. There are only three or four… I should meet many in the second round…”
“In the second round, if I can win, just win directly. There’s no need to control the points anymore. The opponents all have strength. Controlling points is too difficult for the green caterpillar, unless the opponent is very weak.”
“Moreover, the cutoff score for the minimum score to advance in the second round should be very high. I estimate that I’ll only be allowed to lose one or two matches at most.”
“The number of people in the third round is probably even fewer…”
The rules of the third round were different for the first two rounds.
It was not a points competition anymore.
This was because the contestants who could enter the third round were the elite trump cards. The difference in points was not significant.
The difference in strength was even smaller.
If they could not win, they could not win.
Therefore, it was the most direct elimination system. They would fight according to the total points before them.
If they lost, they would be eliminated.
If they won, they would advance. There would be a fight once a day.
The champion would be decided in a few days.
In short, in the second round, the green caterpillar needed to use its strength.
There was no chance to be like in the first round. Every round was controlled very well. After all, none of the soul pets they encountered in the first round had a cultivation level higher than the green caterpillar.
If he could gain the experience, he would savor it. If he could not, he would end the opponent with one move.
He wanted to end the battle quickly and enter the third round.
Wang Che had already formulated a different competition plan.
The cultivation of the opponents in the first round was relatively low. There were not many who had evolved to the third stage. They mainly helped the green caterpillar to gain maximum experience.
In the second round, when the opponent’s strength rose, they would basically all be at the third stage of evolution. Against a soul pet of five to six hundred years, he would have to quickly end the battle. Otherwise, if they fought head-on and dragged it out until the end with the power of the martial soul, there would be a lot of variables. If he could not control the points, he would try his best not to.
In the third round, they were definitely all seeded contestants of the West Peak Continent. If the green caterpillar wanted to win against those powerful soul pets, it had to display powerful fighting abilities and reveal some of its trump cards when necessary.
Time passed.
The second round of the competition quickly began.
On the first day, Wang Che’s luck was very good. The two contestants were both rock type soul pets.
Moreover, their cultivation wasn’t high, barely reaching 500 years. Their soul pets were only second stage rare soul pets.
Wang Che would probably only see such a good points control opportunity on the first day.
He spent the entire first day enduring dozens of rock-type soul skills.
Under the green caterpillar’s outstanding performance, it perfectly lost two rounds in a row…
“In the next round, you can use your strength. Use the Rumbling Tail Strike more.” Wang Che said to the green caterpillar, “We have to win ten rounds in a row, we might be eliminated if we lose one. It’s very important, understand?”
He directly went all out and gave the green caterpillar some pressure!
Although it was already proficient in Spit Thread, after more than a week of training, Wang Che knew.
The green caterpillar’s thread was about to advance!
Therefore, in the second round of the week, the main soul skill he trained was Rumbling Tail Strike!
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar shouted.
After acting for a week, it felt that it was time to begin blinding everyone!
