nThe next morning, Wang Che arrived at the gymnasium in high spirits.

n

nAfter two days of fighting, he discovered that the green caterpillar’s cultivation had improved very quickly.

n

nIn addition, he cultivated the Beast Origin Skill every night, increasing his soul power cultivation by four to five years every day.

n

nAt the same time, the little one’s intelligence had increased rapidly.

n

nIts physical fitness had also grown significantly.

n

n‘Fighting is very helpful for the growth of soul pets. No wonder the various war zones held all sorts of soul pet fighting competitions.’

n

nWang Che thought to himself.

n

nWithin the two days, the green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation had broken through to 80 years.

n

nNormally, a 100 years was a hurdle for soul pets.

n

nApart from that, Wang Che’s own body had also progressed due to the soul contract.

n

nHe could already vaguely feel the energy contained in his soul.

n

nIt could be the power of a martial soul.

n

nWhen he reached the gymnasium, he realized that there were even more people than usual gathered there.

n

n‘From 13 to 7, one lucky person will skip the round. From 7 to 4, another person will have a free pass. Then, two will be selected from the top four participants and the finals will take place.’

n

nWang Che thought to himself as he kept calm and moved to the waiting area.

n

nTheoretically speaking, the probability of having two free rounds was not small.

n

nNot long after, the order of the matches were arranged.

n

nWang Che’s luck was pretty mediocre. Although he did not have a free round, he felt that the opponent this time was weaker – Strength Rat.

n

nThe Strength Rat was a ground type soul pet and was considered rare. It was proficient in strength-based attacks.

n

nIt was so strong that it could even lift boulders that were several times its own weight.

n

nIts sharp claws could also cut through steel.

n

nIn this aspect, it was comparable to some of the other extremely rare soul pets.

n

nHowever, its appearance was not very pleasing.

n

nIts fur was black in color, and its claws resembled perilous blades. Its body was shaped like a pear. It could either run on all four limbs or walk on its feet.

n

nAmongst young rare soul pets, it was considered to be a pretty good choice.

n

nHowever, due to its hideous appearance, it was not very likable.

n

nMany students wouldn’t choose it even if they bought rare soul pet eggs, despite the fact that it was priced much lower than the other rare pets.

n

n“When it comes to soul pets, looks are still the most important.”

n

nWang Che muttered under his breath as he shook his head.

n

nSuddenly, a private message was sent to him by Teacher Zheng.

n

nTeacher Zheng: “Wang Che! You’re up against the Strength Rat first today. This soul pet’s strength is tremendous, and it’s also a rare soul pet. It’s not something your green caterpillar can compare to. As your teacher, I recommend you to use the Silk Thread to slowly exhaust it as it uses its sharp claws to cut through them!”

n

nHe probably felt that there was a possibility for Wang Che to enter the finals. He could not contain his excitement, and had decided to personally guide him.

n

nTeacher Zheng: “That’s all I have to say. You’re very smart, I believe you have the ability to defeat this Strength Rat.”

n

nWang Che sent his reply.

n

nWang Che: “Thank you, teacher.”

n

nTeacher Zheng’s suggestion was obviously the result of calculating the strength of both parties.

n

nHis opinion was actually very useful.

n

nThe Strength Rat was different from the Spike Gull; the bird was powerful and speedy, but its defense was extremely weak.

n

nAfter he found its main weakness, the green caterpillar was able to take it down with a simple flick of its tail.

n

nHowever, the Strength Rat was different.

n

nThis creature had thick skin and tough flesh. Its strong suit was not its defense, but its physique was outstanding nonetheless.

n

nIt would be troublesome to beat in an instant.

n

nFrom Teacher Zheng’s point of view, the best choice was naturally to slowly wear it down, but Wang Che did not want to do that.

n

nSoon after, the match began.

n

nWang Che brought his soul pet onto the stage. After the first two days of competition, the overwhelming number of fans he had now could be attributed to his biggest strength, which was his charming looks.

n

nIn every match, the audience cheered the loudest they could.

n

nHis opponent this time was a young man, the winner of Zone U.

n

nHis looks were average, or rather, slightly ugly.

n

n“Your green caterpillar is amazing.”

n

n“Thank you for your compliment,” Wang Che replied, nodding.

n

nHe was actually quite curious. Human genes in this world had already evolved pretty well, so it wasn’t a usual occurrence to come across an ugly person.

n

n“But, that’s as far as you go.”

n

nThe young lad grinned. The smile matched his face, making him look a little intimidating.

n

nWang Che glanced at the rat, then at its master.

n

nHe looked at his green caterpillar again.

n

nHe couldn’t help but say, “Look, that soul pet is so compatible with its Contract Soul Master. Look at yourself, are you worthy of me?”

n

nGreen caterpillar looked as if it wanted to bury itself in a hole.

n

nThis brutal verbal assault caused his opponent’s expression to change and his eyes became even more ruthless.

n

nA person’s appearance was the reflection of their heart. At first glance, Wang Che knew that this was a callous person. He was probably twisted.

n

nNot entirely, of course.

n

nHowever, Wang Che had seen this guy in the previous matches.

n

nThe attacks he put out were all rather vicious. His opponent’s soul pets were all heavily wounded, and most of them were not able to participate in the next rounds.

n

nThey could only forfeit.

n

nThen, the referee waved down the flag.

n

n“Begin!”

n

nThe youth immediately commanded, “Strength Rat, use Hone Claws!”

n

nHone Claws was a conventional ten-year soul skill.

n

nIt could strengthen its claws. When attacking, the damage caused would be more fatal.

n

nIt was a support soul skill.

n

nThe Strength Rat roared twice and its front claws glowed with a faint white light. As it crossed its sharp claws together, they looked like shining steel. They were razor-sharp.

n

n“Once I equip the Hone Claws soul skill, no matter how tough the threads of the green caterpillar are, they will be easily cut off!” the young man exclaimed.

n

nThe audience was muffled with comments.

n

n“No wonder this fellow is so confident!”

n

n“The Strength Rat’s physical attacks are comparable to some extremely rare soul pets, and its greatest asset is the pair of claws that make up at least 60% of its total strength!”

n

n“Yesterday, there was a Vine Flower that had its body cut off. Fortunately, this guy did not dare to violate the rules and did not kill it off. However, that flower will need at least a week to recover.”

n

n“In terms of savagery, this Strength Rat with over 60 years of soul power is definitely at the top.”

n

n…

n

nThe audience discussed.

n

nAt the same time, the green caterpillar moved.

n

nTo everyone’s surprise, it didn’t use a soul skill.

n

nInstead… it headed straight for the Strength Rat.

n

nLike a ray of green light, it charged fearlessly at the Strength Rat.

n

nThis scene shocked many people, even the opponent.

n

nThe contestant had previously calculated that against his Strength Rat, his opponent would definitely use its soul skill, Spit Thread, to restrict its movements.

n

nTo directly dash over and face a strong Strength Rat head-on with great health, was it trying to invite death?

n

n“It’s perfect if you want to fight this way!”

n

nA fierce look flashed in the young man’s eyes. “Strength Rat, don’t be afraid. Steady your claws and slice it apart!”

n

nWhile it was still grinding its claws, the green caterpillar had already rushed over, and the rat could not dodge in time.

n

nWang Che narrowed his eyes as the distance between them was swiftly eliminated.

n

nBefore the competition, he had already arranged tactics for the green caterpillar.

n

nHe didn’t even need to give his orders from the start.

n

nThe green caterpillar suddenly leaped a few meters in front of the rat, its tail emitting a blinding shine.

n

nAs everyone watched this scene unfold, they were slightly bewildered.

n

nLike a ferocious dragon, the green caterpillar veered its tail at the Strength Rat’s head like an iron whip.

n

nIts soul power fluctuated in waves.

n

nBy the time the Strength Rat raised its steel-like front claws, the bright, white tail had already found its mark.

n

nCrack!

n

nA crisp sound rang out.

n

nThe Strength Rat’s sharp front claws were shattered into pieces!

n

nThe caterpillar’s tail, which contained enormous power, did not slow down at all and whacked straight through at the Strength Rat’s head!

n

nWith a loud thud, the Strength Rat’s burly body fell to the ground.

n

nIt was a critical hit!

n

nNot only did it just fall, but its body was flung more than ten meters away by the remaining force.

n

nOne could only imagine the terrifying energy of this tail attack…
