The crowd erupted in cheers!

“The Nether Snake King has lost its combat strength. The green caterpillar wins!”

The referee was stunned for a long time before he immediately announced.

The middle-aged commentator did not continue commentating. The various discussions and cheers that erupted had already drowned out his voice.

“It’s not simple.”

On the other side, Jiang Shuo’s expression was a little dull. When he reacted, he was only slightly silent.

He was not depressed or dispirited.

“I have no complaints about losing.”

Jiang Shu laughed and put away his martial soul.

In the second round, he had only lost one match.

It might be the only one.

There was nothing to say even if he lost.

…

Wang Che brought the green caterpillar to the soul pet recovery center as usual.

This time, the nurse was already looking at the green caterpillar with stars in her eyes.

She also requested to take a picture with the green caterpillar.

The green caterpillar did not want to agree.

It did not have much feelings for beautiful human girls.

In comparison, it wanted to go back and listen to Wang Che tell stories.

Therefore, it unwillingly took a picture with the nurse.

Green caterpillar: ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌

“It’s too cute.” The nurse was overjoyed and did not mind.

Instead, she felt that the green caterpillar looked very good in the photo.

The nurse even poked the green caterpillar with her finger.

Green caterpillar: ‘Don’t poke me! ╰(‵□′)╯’

The nurse chuckled, “Student, is it really a little green bug?”

“Of course, it’s the real deal.” Wang Che nodded.

He added in his mind, It’s a little green bug that can ‘cultivate’.

After all, the cultivation techniques it learned were all related to immortal cultivation.

Even some soul skills had elements of Dharma spells and martial skills.

Later on, Wang Che believed that there would be more changes.

By learning more powerful cultivation techniques, one could fuse soul skills with more powerful spells and martial skills.

“Ssss!” The green caterpillar immediately roared at Wang Che.

‘No, I’m not!’

“Yes, it’s a genuine little green bug now,” Wang Che said again.

The green caterpillar tilted its head and nodded in satisfaction.

‘That’s right.’

‘I’m just a little green bug now.’

“Huh?” The nurse was confused, “Then in the future, it…”

“In the future, it’ll be a majestic giant… bug,” Wang Che said.

“…”

The green caterpillar: “…”

“No, that’s not it!”

The green caterpillar discovered that its Contract Soul Master had changed.

He had clearly said that it could become that majestic dragon!

“Actually, the green caterpillar has many evolution directions.”

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded from afar.

It was a tall and graceful mature woman in a white research coat with messy hair.

Looking at her clothes, she should be a researcher, a soul pet scholar.

“You are?”

Wang Che was confused.

“I’m He Huan, a soul pet lover of the West Peak Continent’s research base.”

The woman called He Huan walked over and glanced at Wang Che. Her gaze quickly landed on the green caterpillar.

The green caterpillar felt a sense of familiarity from the other party’s gaze.

It had felt this sense of familiarity before from Chen Fei.

The green caterpillar subconsciously took two steps back. It was not used to such an invasive gaze.

“It has high intelligence.”

He Huan walked over and squatted down to look at the green caterpillar. She smiled and watched, but she did not touch the green caterpillar directly.

She skillfully took out a few fragrant leaves from her pocket.

Then, she placed it on the soul pet food box and handed it to the green caterpillar.

The green caterpillar first glanced at Wang Che.

Wang Che nodded.

The green caterpillar rushed over and ate the delicious food in the food box.

It looked like it was enjoying itself.

“Student, have you ever thought about what evolution path you should plan for the green caterpillar in the future?” He Huan smiled and spoke casually.

“Not yet.” Wang Che said.

Of course, he had thought about it.

It was just that it lacked the opportunity now.

However, the green caterpillar was still relatively weak. It would not be too late to consider it when it slowly grew to a thousand years or even ten thousand years.

“You have to think of that in advance.”

He Huan smiled and said, “This green caterpillar of yours is so powerful. There are many paths it can take in the future. I wonder if anyone has told you this about a soul pet like the green caterpillar. Other than the Green Nether Butterfly, there are other evolution paths.”

“I think so. I’ve heard of a soul pet of the Linguistic Spirit Insect King that evolved from a green caterpillar.” Wang Che said.

“Not bad, I didn’t expect you to hear this before. It was developed by the Clear Capital War Zone.” He Huan pointed at the green caterpillar, “Actually, our Eastern War Zone has also developed the related evolution path of the green caterpillar.”

“After the competition ends, if you’re interested, you can come to the West Peak soul pet research base to take a look.”

“Perhaps there’s an evolution path that you’re interested in.”

Wang Che nodded and said, “Thank you, I’ll go when I have time.”

He Huan did not say much. She looked at the green caterpillar that was still crunching like a little hamster eating the leaves. She probably felt that this little thing was a little cute and smiled.

She suddenly asked, “Student, you fought a Cowardly Lizard in the first round. Do you remember?”

“I remember.”

“Why do you think the Cowardly Lizard could unleash that potential power at that time?” He Huan asked seriously.

“It should be the life bond between humans and soul pets.” Wang Che didn’t hesitate to say, “The power of emotions isn’t just reflected in humans and soul pets. There is also a powerful and close connection between humans.”

“Well said.” He Huan nodded and suddenly asked, “So, you did that on purpose?”

Wang Che said, “A mere coincidence.”

He Huan was stunned and smiled.

“It’s indeed a coincidence.”

“Remember to come to the West Peak soul pet base when you have time.”

She glanced at the green caterpillar again and left.

Wang Che left the soul pet recovery center and brought the green caterpillar to watch a few matches before leaving the stadium.

In the next few days, because he did not encounter any powerful opponents like Jiang Shuo in the following matches, he crushed them without any suspense.

Until the day after the second round of the competition ended.

Wang Che tirelessly trained the green caterpillar’s thread.

It had finally advanced.

The advancement process was not simple.

In a training club in Glory City.

“Just like that day with the Nether Violent Snake King, spit out a large amount of silk.”

“However, you have to condense those threads in advance. When you spit them out, they will form a huge net.”

“Such a complicated web can directly trap the Nether Violent Snake King and reduce the consumption of soul power. The complicated web structure is also harder to break free from and is even tighter and tougher.”

“At the same time, try to use the fire energy in your body on the web.”

“I know. A thread can’t withstand too much fire energy and can’t be controlled. Otherwise, you can learn the Fire Whip yourself.”

“However, the structure of the web is a complicated combination of continuous threads. It can withstand a large amount of fire energy and doesn’t need to be tightly controlled. It can allow the web to have an extremely high temperature.”

“While trapping the enemy, the high temperature of the Insect Web can also cause damage.”

…

Wang Che guided the green caterpillar to train its Spit Thread soul skill to advance.

Because its proficiency was already maxed, the power of the Spit Thread could not be increased anymore. It could only advance to a hundred-year soul skill.

The green caterpillar aimed at a huge rock on the paint.

It was brewing in its mouth.

It had already failed many times in the past few days and had accumulated a lot of experience.

The Magnetic Sword floated in the air.

It was very disciplined as it cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Slash.

As the first sword skill Wang Che had taught it, the Magnetic Sword had extremely high comprehension of it.

This comprehension was even higher than the green caterpillar.

Wang Che could only say that it was gifted.

Perhaps cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture would increase one’s comprehension of sword moves.

The lightning struck down and penetrated everything…

In the past few days, as soon as Wang Che trained the green caterpillar, the Magnetic Sword would automatically cultivate the Heavenly Lightning Slash.

As lightning flickered, its Heavenly Lightning Sword Force became more and more solid, and its sword techniques became more and more proficient.

At this moment, the green caterpillar subconsciously opened its mouth and spat out a light.

A huge white net was scattered in the air, covering the huge rock in front.

“Oh? It advanced?”

Wang Che was stunned. It had been a few days and it had finally advanced.

The little bug’s comprehension was actually not bad and was still slightly inferior to the Magnetic Sword.

Hmm, the mutated one was indeed more impressive.

Wang Che walked over and looked at the web. He touched it and pulled it.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Advanced soul skill, Insect Web!

This move should be a soul skill with special effects on medium-sized soul pets.

During the battle with the Nether Violent Snake King, just using the Spit Thread consumed too much soul power.

For such a huge Nether Violent Snake King to be trapped with Spit Thread, it needed to spit out too many threads.

Moreover, it was not firm. After trapping it, the Nether Violent Snake King could still move and unleash the Rumbling Tail Strike soul skill.

But the Insect Web was different.

Not only was the structure more complicated and firm, but it also did not consume that much soul power.

It could even better restrict middle-sized soul pets than Spit Thread.

Once trapped by the web, once it shrunk, even with the Nether Violent Snake King’s size, it would be rolled into a ball.

It was impossible to use a soul skill like the Rumbling Tail Strike!

“The temperature is not enough. The Insect Web is not Spit Thread. You should try to use the fire life force in your body to fuse with it. The structure of the Insect Web is even more complicated than the Spit Thread. Fuse a large amount of fire life force into the Insect Web and increase its temperature.”

“This is better than fusing it into the thread.” Wang Che said.

When fire life force was added to the thread, when the green caterpillar’s life force and fire life force reached a special value, it would become a soul skill, the Fire Whip.

It was an extremely powerful fire-type soul skill.

This was the principle.

But in reality, it was not that easy.

The special ratio was like a password of seven or eight digits.

It was the secret of the soul power circuit of the Fire Whip soul skill.

A soul pet with two types of life force could try and break this secret.

There was a chance of learning it without relying on the soul skill secret carving.

However, there were too many possibilities for the password. If he tried it again and again, he did not know how long it would take.

The green caterpillar did not have time to try. It had other training programs.

Wang Che did not have time to train.

However, if it was an advanced new soul skill, he could set the password himself!

The Insect Web was a new soul skill.

Currently, there was no Spit Thread that had advanced to a hundred-year soul skill!

Therefore, Wang Che had the green caterpillar train like this because he had set up the soul skill password and designed a special core effect!

“The Insect Web has already advanced. Next, you have to fuse with the fire life force in your body or the grass life force! This will cause the Insect Web to have a special effect!”

Wang Che nodded slightly. The advancement of Spit Thread had been completed.

Next was the Rumbling Tail Strike.

At this moment, the second round of the competition ended. This week, Wang Che condensed another Hundred Refinements soul power.

At the same time, they also entered the third round!

As long as one could enter the third round, they were the strongest seeded contestants in the West Peak Continent!

The points for the first two rounds were the threshold to enter the third round. Before entering the third round, it was very important.

However, after entering the third round, points did not seem to be that important anymore.

This was because the contestants in the third round were mostly of similar strength. It was just that whoever lost one more round would lose one less round.

Therefore, the elimination round was held.

On the first day of the third round, Wang Che quickly met his opponent.

It was the evolved form of a Bamboo Bear with a soul power cultivation of more than 800 years, the Mountain Bamboo Bear.
