nChapter 288: Lightning Drawing Talisman and Spirit Melting Talisman

n“The two of you can discuss a match yourself?”

nThe referee helplessly said, “This is the first time such a situation has occurred in our continent’s Two Kings Competition. The Contract Soul Master and his soul pet are the only Human King and the only Beast King respectively.”

n

n

nThe probability was too small.

nIt was ridiculous.

nMoreover, it sounded very simple, but the actual difficulty was too high.

nBoth sides had to fight at least ten matches and win them all. They had to reach the end.

n

n

nIf he was careless and encountered a soul pet that countered him, or a Contract Soul Master that was stronger than the soul pet, it was impossible.

nThe little caterpillar glanced at Wang Che.

nThey shook their heads.

nThere was no fight.

n

n

n“It’s fine if you don’t want to fight. The rewards are yours anyway.”

nThe referee smiled and said, “However, this situation can be considered a record.”

nWang Che naturally had no objections.

nJust like that, the Two Kings Competition ended.

nThe main rewards of the Two Kings Competition were the qualification to obtain the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate and the choice of a rare soul device.

nConsidering that the little caterpillar’s mechanical meteorite armor could not keep up with its strength,

n

n

nWang Che chose a similar soul device for the little caterpillar, the Mechanical Meteorite Suit.

nIt saved him the trouble of spending money to buy it.

nCompared to the mechanical meteorite armor, it was more suitable for a thousand year soul pet to cultivate.

nOf course, it was definitely not damaged this time.

nIt was complete.

nMoreover, the cost was very high. It cost at least three million to buy outside.

nIt was suitable for soul pets below ten thousand years old. Any soul pet that wore it for a long time could obtain sufficient training and have stronger effects.

nHowever, to a soul pet with only a thousand years of soul power cultivation, wearing the Mechanical Meteorite Suit was a little difficult.

n

n

nIt was just right for the little caterpillar.

nThe previous mechanical meteorite armor was useless already.

nAfter seamlessly changing into the Mechanical Meteorite Suit, the little caterpillar seemed to have returned to the heavy state when it first wore the mechanical meteorite armor.

nThe little caterpillar was not satisfied.

nIt was not easy to completely adapt to the mechanical meteorite armor and ignore the pressure it brought.

nIt changed into even more troublesome equipment.

nWang Che could only enlighten it.

n“You have to think that way. With the Mechanical Meteorite Suit, your physical strength can increase faster.”

n“Little Sword’s Dragon Slaying Talisman has not been used yet. With this equipment, when you adapt, your physical strength will increase greatly. The damage caused by the Dragon Slaying Talisman will gradually decrease.”

n“When the time comes, I’ll add a few supplementary training talismans in this mechanical meteorite armor. For example, the Strength Multiplier Talisman, the Slowing Talisman, and the Spirit Locking Talisman to increase the effect of training.”

n“Then, with the help of the Mechanical Meteorite Suit and these supplementary spirit talismans, the effect will definitely increase!”

n“It might be very uncomfortable in the beginning, but as long as you adapt… At that time, if you turn off the mechanical meteorite armor, your strength will increase explosively. Little Sword’s Dragon Slaying Talisman is not a problem for you.”

nThe little caterpillar’s eyes lit up when it heard that and nodded in agreement.

n

n

nAfter the competition ended, it was still early. Wang Che had three hours to rest.

nThree hours later, it was the last event, the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.

nHe needed to go to a ruin to participate.

nThere were many sources of ruins.

nUnlike the Soul Earth, the ruins could have been built by humans in the Remote Antiquity Era, or they could have been special terrain formed after soul beasts died.

nIn ruins, there was usually abundant and rich life force, an extremely rare resource.

nThere were various soul beasts living here.

nSome ruins were special spaces that had been transformed into natural cultivation venues by humans.

nThe top universities had their own ruins cultivation ground.

nThe Emperor Ice Cave Ruins was the testing ground for the Heavenly Gate Fire Seed project.

n“After the test begins, you need to enter the ruins and find the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate to bring it back. In the ruins, you will face many tests. Whether you can find it or not will depend on yourself.”

nThe referee brought Wang Che to their destination.

nThe location of the Emperor Ice Cave was near the Illusionary Light Island Soul Earth. It was a cold cave world buried underground.

nIt was a ruin that was not open to the public in the wilderness because there were many soul beasts living inside. Under normal circumstances, no one was allowed to enter the ruin and disturb the soul beasts inside.

nEvery year, in a few hours, the Emperor Ice Cave Ruins would open for a period of time and let the Contract Soul Masters and their soul pets enter to cultivate.

nComparatively speaking, the ruins were not dangerous.

nThe soul beasts inside were all awake and didn’t have any ill intentions towards humans. Sometimes, they could even meet some young soul pets in the ruins. If they were lucky, they could catch one or two…

n“Keep in touch at all times. The Heavenly Gate Fire Seed is broadcasting live. In the past… cough cough, there were several Human Kings who participated.”

n“You’re the only Human King this time, so the audience of the Winter Agricultural Association is all focused on you.”

n“The ruins are not life-threatening, but there are many tests… Don’t be too afraid. If you encounter a difficult place, you can come back directly.”

n“Don’t feel burdened… After all, no one has succeeded in the past few years.”

n“Tell me when you’re ready.”

nNear the Emperor Ice Cave Ruins, a chill spread.

nThe distant ruin was in a basin. There was an ice sculpture door dozens of meters tall.

nAbove the ruins, the huge Cloud Sky Aviation Star was very familiar.

nThis Cloud Sky Aviation Star had always been above the North River Continent and was usually used to monitor the wilderness environment of the North River Continent.

nIt was different from the Soul Earth.

nCommunication devices could not be used in the Soul Earth.

nHowever, it could be used in the ruins.

nTherefore, the live broadcast could be done with a soul device, but it might not be that clear.

nThis time, the Cloud Sky Aviation Star volunteered and they did not use a soul device.

n“I’m ready. Let’s begin.”

nThe referee nodded. With the Cloud Sky Aviation Star, it actually saved a lot of trouble.

nHowever, the Cloud Sky Aviation Star usually did not participate in the Winter Agricultural Festival.

nThe Cloud Sky Aviation Star was a large mechanical soul pet of the military and had a high level of self-awareness.

nHearing Wang Che’s response, the referee immediately entered a string of information on his communication device.

nIn a few seconds, the ice sculpture door slowly opened.

nWang Che looked at the time and quickly walked to the door of the ruins with the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword.

nAs soon as he entered the door, what greeted his eyes was a pure white world carved from ice.

nThe chill continued to spread from all directions. Even with the enhancement of the combat clothes, the chill quickly seeped into his body.

nThe door behind closed.

nAs Wang Che stepped in, not long after, ice walls rose from all directions. They were winding and endless.

n“Ice Wall Maze, the first test of the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.”

nWang Che looked at the maze in front of him.

nMaze-type tests were not rare.

nHowever, in this maze, more than 99% of the contestants had been eliminated over the years.

nIn conclusion, there were only four words:

nIt was smelly and long.

nThe maze in the ruins changed every year. The ice walls were like endless ice that could not be broken.

nIf he wanted to fly through the maze, he had to withstand the bone-chilling temperature of the base.

nThe higher one flew, the lower the temperature would be. They would also be attacked.

nIt eliminated the possibility of all the flying soul pets flying over.

nIf one wanted to forcefully walk over, the requirement for the soul master and soul pet’s will and soul power was extremely high.

nIt often took more than a few hours to walk out.

nAfter walking out, they were often mentally exhausted and could not move forward at the later stages.

nWang Che did not choose to walk out.

nThis kind of checkpoint actually had a certain key. After finding the key, one could easily walk out, just like the Soul Tempering Tree in the Floating Forest.

nWang Che released his divine sense and walked unhurriedly, sensing the surrounding ice walls.

nThe little caterpillar followed behind and looked around.

n“Come, use Raging Flame Strike to hit this ice wall.”

nSuddenly, the little caterpillar heard Wang Che’s order.

nThe little caterpillar looked at the ice wall in front of it and felt that there was nothing strange.

nHowever, since Wang Che had given the order, the little caterpillar immediately carried it out.

nIt immediately used the Raging Flame Strike and began to hit the ice wall in front of it.

nThe scorching flames emitted an extremely high temperature. As the little caterpillar charged ferociously, the ice wall trembled.

nAfter a few minutes, a roar like ice slowly came from the ice wall.

nSoon, the shape of the ice wall changed.

nIt turned into a Giant Ice Rock more than ten meters tall.

nGiant Ice Rock, an ice-type soul beast. Its entire body was made of ice rocks and had extremely strong defense. It could freely change the shape of its body and had very high intelligence.

nThe ice wall changed. The little caterpillar jumped in fright and immediately retreated to look at the huge creature.

nWang Che was not surprised. He said directly,

n“You have two choices now. One, move aside. Two, tell me the correct route to the maze. Hmm, otherwise, it will keep hitting you…”

nWang Che pointed at the little caterpillar that was burning with flames.

nThe Giant Ice Rock turned around and roared at Wang Che.

nIt seemed to be asking, ‘How did you discover me?’

nWang Che smiled and said, “Perhaps your ice wall is different? It’s extra spectacular and handsome?”

nThe Giant Ice Rock nodded as if it was satisfied with Wang Che’s answer and moved aside.

nThe little caterpillar: “…”

nAfter Wang Che left, it returned to its original ice wall, identical to the other ice walls.

nThen, Wang Che used the same trick again. He used the little caterpillar’s Raging Flame Strike to find more than ten Giant Ice Rocks from the countless ice walls and passed through the maze.

nHe walked out.

nIt was so fast that it made one’s hair stand on end. They passed this round in less than half an hour.

nCountless spectators were silent.

nIt was impossible to tell with just a glance.

nWang Che sensed it carefully with his powerful divine sense.

nTo the contestants who wanted to pass, mental strength was the key. If there were mental-type soul pets, they could also think of this point.

nThey could also walk out easily.

nTherefore, the first round was actually not difficult.

nIt all depended on whether one could think of it or not.

nAfter walking out of the ice wall maze, the surroundings suddenly changed.

nWang Che saw the Fire Seed on an iceberg in the distance.

nAt such a low temperature, the flames were like a weak light, but it could not be extinguished.

nIt was magical.

nWang Che continued walking forward and took a step forward.

nAs if space was distorted, the surrounding scene changed again.

n“Ssss…”

nDark voices sounded from all directions.

nThe voice was very recognizable. It was the voice of the ghost-type soul pet, Ghost Baby.

nGhost Babies were rather strange soul pets. They were ghost soul pets that lived in various ruins.

nNormally, they lived by scaring various soul pets. The more creatures they frightened, the stronger their soul power cultivation would be.

nThe stronger the soul pet they frightened, the easier it was for them to evolve.

nOccasionally, they would run outside to scare humans.

nIt was a ghost-type soul pet that science could not explain in the modern soul pet world.

nFrom its appearance, the Ghost Baby was like a pitch-black shadow with no specific shape.

nIt would only appear when it tried to scare others.

nBefore long, a huge ghost face shadow condensed in the air, emitting a hideous and terrifying aura.

nThe little caterpillar’s heart tightened.

n“Ghosts blocking the path.”

nThe second round.

nWhen the Ghost Babies appeared, they would activate their species soul skill, the Netherworld Space.

nThe surrounding space would distort.

nIn the Netherworld Space, the various attribute energies would be greatly weakened.

nThe lightning that countered ghost-type soul pets was also absorbed by space.

nThe mental energy of Contract Soul Masters and soul pets greatly decreased in the Netherworld Space and were extremely easily frightened.

nIt was said that these Ghost Babies had to be frightened before they would scatter.

nOtherwise, they would not have been able to pass.

nIt was impossible to break through the Netherworld Space formed by these Ghost Babies.

nIt was naturally very difficult to scare these Ghost Babies.

nThis round eliminated the remaining ten percent of the contestants.

nIn Wang Che’s opinion, the normal way of clearing was actually not difficult.

nLightning was still the only way to resolve it.

nHe could just use the Heavenly Lightning to scare these Ghost Babies.

nHowever, most of the lightning would be absorbed by the Netherworld Space.

nThe power of lightning soul pets would be greatly restricted, so the lightning released naturally could not intimidate the Ghost Babies.

nHowever, to the Magnetic Sword, this was very easy to resolve.

n“Activate the Lightning Drawing Talisman and the Spirit Melting Talisman.”

nWang Che took out the Magnetic Sword, “I can use this opportunity to see how effective these two talismans are. If they don’t work, I’ll use another method.”

nAfter giving the instructions, Wang Che raised the Magnetic Sword. Suddenly, lightning flashed!

nTwo different lightning arcs wrapped around the Magnetic Sword like two swimming dragons.

nThe lightning emitted by the Magnetic Sword was constantly absorbed by the surrounding Netherworld Space, but under the effect of the Lightning Drawing Talisman, the lightning did not weaken at all. Instead, it became stronger and stronger.

nUnder the fusion of the two long lightning arcs that were like swimming dragons, they formed a huge bolt of lightning that rumbled.

nAt this moment, Wang Che swung his sword.

nIt was a simple move, Lightning Sweeping Army.

nIn an instant, the huge ghost face in front revealed a trace of fear and scattered under the huge lightning.

nThe space returned to normal.

nThe wisp of fire appeared in Wang Che’s vision again.

n“The power is considerable. It seems that there’s no need to use the next move.”

nWang Che placed the Magnetic Sword back into the electromagnetic scabbard.

nThe spirit talismans were indeed powerful.

nWang Che continued walking.

nThe iceberg was getting closer and closer. Before long, it was right in front of them.

nWang Che stepped onto the ice mountain.

nIn an instant, the surrounding space changed again. The original ice mountain was actually divided into two, and the other side actually became a volcano!

nRaging flames erupted from the center of the ice mountain like a volcano… causing the ice mountain to form a strange sea of flames!

nIt blocked the way forward!

nThe Fire Seed was at the center of the intersection of the iceberg and the volcano!

n
