Chapter 144: Since the Caterpillar Exists, Why Did the Sword Appear?

The combination of spells and soul skills far exceeded the simple usage of them individually.
After learning the basics, they naturally had to increase their training,
After the first time, there was a second time.
Of course, the process would still fail many times.
There was no other way.
Fortunately, with Wang Che’s guidance, the green caterpillar improved very quickly.
After a day of training, it would make an average of five mistakes.
Its casting speed was also much faster.
With Wang Che’s guidance in soul skill training, its speed naturally improved very quickly!
“In the next few days, try to increase the proficiency and try to cast it steadily. Then, it will be useful.”
Wang Che nodded.
The power of the Spiral Flame Ball was even stronger than the Raging Flame Strike.
However, the consumption was about the same.
More importantly, the Raging Flame Strike was a close combat attack.
The Spiral Flame Ball was a long-range attack among fire-type soul skills!
Moreover, the further the distance and the longer the high-speed spinning, the stronger the attack should be!
From this perspective, it was slightly stronger than the grass-type Energy Bomb.
However, the Energy Bomb itself had a tracking effect. However, this tracking effect was easily blocked by bunkers and was not very strong.
In the future, if it used the Spit Thread or the Insect Web to trap the enemy, it could directly unleash a Spiral Flame Ball. With a long-range attack, it did not need to be in close combat.
This was the benefit of long-range attacks.
Be it the Rumbling Tail Strike from the Nether Violent Snake King or the Mountain Bamboo Bear’s Wave Fist in the air, they all blocked the green caterpillar’s Rumbling Tail Strike.
Now, if the other party’s movement was controlled, a Spiral Flame Ball could definitely not be blocked.
Even if it could not be instantly defeated, it could still cause serious damage!
“In the future, the direction of improvement in proficiency will be the spinning speed produced when you strike!”
Wang Che explained in detail to the green caterpillar, “Currently, we only need to train you to steadily cast it. After your proficiency increases, you have to control the speed at which the Rumbling Tail Strike is thrown. The faster the spinning speed, the further the attack, and the stronger the power.”
“When you can control the spinning speed and the distance you throw, it means that you can control the power of this move.”
“When the time comes, I’ll teach you a more brilliant technique.”
The green caterpillar nodded, not knowing what the Contract Soul Master could do.
It was a little curious.
However…
Its Contract Soul Master was so powerful, then it… could just lie flat!

The green caterpillar was just thinking about this…
At this moment, Wang Che exclaimed.
The green caterpillar could not help but look over.
In the distance, it saw that the tip of the Magnetic Sword was aimed at the top. A lightning ball shimmering with red lightning was circling the tip of the sword.
Green caterpillar: 0729) !!
What the heck was that?
What was going on with this Magnetic Sword?
Then, the Magnetic Sword quickly spun.
It began to spin in the air with the sword body, causing the lightning ball on the tip of the sword to also begin to spin crazily!
In an instant, lightning struck in the training room!
The Magnetic Sword itself did not have lightning life force. It only had mechanical energy.
However, through the Heavenly Lightning, it cultivated the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture and absorbed the power of the Heavenly Lightning. Its body stored the power of Heavenly Lightning!
At the same time, there was a special red energy hidden in its body. It was very powerful.
Now…
After spinning for a while, the Magnetic Sword suddenly froze and slashed down, throwing out the red electric ball!
It landed on the ground!
Boom!
In an instant, red lightning exploded in the training room. Powerful electric currents ran everywhere, causing the lights and various equipment in the training room to flicker non-stop.
A dark pit was also created on the ground, but its power was inferior to the green caterpillar’s Spiral Flame Ball.
However, that was a difference brought about by the soul power cultivation level.
The actual output was definitely explosively powerful!
“Little genius!”
Wang Che was slightly stunned.
The Magnetic Sword was definitely a little genius!
He had just told it an incantation, and it was the Fireball Technique.
He did not teach anything personally.
It had only come into contact with it for a day.
Now, it had learned a similar move from inference?
In fact, the sword force from the slash contained some elements of the Heavenly Lightning Slash.
This made the lightning ball possess a powerful force. At the same time, it spun at high speed on the spot, increasing the power of the lightning ball.
“Good, good, good.”
Wang Che walked over and looked at the Magnetic Sword in satisfaction.
With such a genius little soul pet, he only needed to give it a little guidance and it would be able to learn on its own.
It was too easy for him!
“Ssss!”
The Magnetic Sword flew into Wang Che’s palm and was very happy to receive the Contract Soul Master’s praise.
The little guy’s intelligence was not high at the moment and was far inferior to the green caterpillar. It was probably only at the level of a five or six-year-old human child.
However, its comprehension was too high.
The green caterpillar in the distance was a little sore.
‘Why is it so smart?’
‘It’s okay, I can still accept it!
The green caterpillar had a good mentality and felt that it could stay calm!
However, soon, the Magnetic Sword that was praised flew into the air again, as if it was performing something for Wang Che.
This time, it pointed its sword down and began to condense an electric ball.
It continued to spin rapidly, condensing a red lightning ball.
However, this time, the Magnetic Sword did not slash down.
At the next moment, the tip of its sword began to glow!
Moreover, it was very interesting.
From the location of the sword hilt, the red light suddenly increased in size, as if it was undergoing some kind of mechanical charge, flashing all the way to the tip of the sword!
Boom!
In an instant, a powerful red lightning bolt shot out of the ball and hit the ground like a cannonball.
However, there seemed to be a mistake. When the powerful bolt of lightning landed on the ground at the speed of light, the power was very small…
It was completely incompatible with the power produced when casting it…
However, the process was very cool!
“A peerless genius!” Wang Che sighed.
Among the divine beasts Wang Che had raised, there were many geniuses. However, the Magnetic Sword was only a mechanical soul pet.
This was clearly a move created by the Magnetic Sword itself.
When casting the ball, it did not hit the ball like the green caterpillar.
Instead, it used the sword body as the track and suddenly erupted with intense mechanical energy. It sent it out through the sword and struck the most powerful red lightning energy core of the electric ball, sending it flying!
It looked a little like an electromagnetic cannon.
This was why it was so powerful.
However, because it had just modified and created this, it did not control the changes in the transmission process and was not perfect enough.
The so-called process was not that smooth so the final output was very small.
Of course, this move was actually very difficult to complete. It was probably not something that could be learned in a day or two.
It would take a long time to master it completely.
However, this was a completely new move after all, not a simple combination of soul skills.
It had comprehended and created it on its own. With such a start, it was no ordinary genius.
Modifying a move and creating a brand new move were two different things.
Not to mention whether the mutation was strong or not, it was indeed intelligent enough.
No matter how weak it was, its future potential was limitless.
Moreover, the red Magnetic Sword was not weak.
At this moment, the green caterpillar in the distance fell silent. It fell into deep thought.
How could it be so showy?
The green caterpillar, who wanted to lie flat, looked at the satisfied expression on Wang Che’s face and felt that it had lost its master’s affection.
‘No!
‘I can’t give up like this!
The green caterpillar racked its brains and looked at the Magnetic Sword’s smug expression. It was very angry.
However, after thinking for a long time, the green caterpillar could not think of anything…
There was no other way.
It lacked comprehension.
It lay on the ground and looked at the ceiling of the training room. The joy of having just learned a new move had rapidly decreased.
After all, having a genius Magnetic Sword as a companion was too devastating.
‘Since I, the caterpillar, exist, why did the sword appear?’
‘No!
‘I won’t admit defeat!
The green caterpillar felt dizzy…
“Let’s go. It’s time to rest. You learned a new move today. I’ll reward you with three chapters tonight.” Wang Che’s voice sounded.
The green caterpillar immediately woke up.
It jumped up and followed Wang Che.
Hmm… it was more important to listen to the story. Everything else could wait.
After returning to the hotel, the green caterpillar washed up and lay in its nest, quietly listening to Wang Che tell a story.
The Magnetic Sword did not have much interest in the story about a bug.
In addition, it was very excited after creating a new move today.
After being overly excited, it felt very tired.
Therefore, it fell asleep early.
The green caterpillar listened to today’s story in a surging mood and could not sleep for a long time.
Today’s story was about the bug erupting with immense strength and using a self-created move: Insect Rage Fire Lotus.
It defeated a large number of powerful enemies.
The green caterpillar felt that the name was ordinary, but the story was naturally stimulating.
‘If only… I knew this move too. The green caterpillar thought.
‘Eh?
‘Wait, fire… I can use fire too!
The green caterpillar suddenly thought of something…
Wang Che’s competition today went smoothly.
The Mountain Bamboo Bear on the first day was too strong.
The following opponent was not that strong.
Moreover, Wang Che’s luck was not that bad. His opponent did not get advantageous terrain every
time.
Therefore, he relied on the Raging Flame Strike, the Energy Bomb, the Martial Soul Armament, the Rumbling Tail Strike, and the Spit Thread.
They won the fight for three consecutive days.
They entered the top 16.
After entering the top 16, the strength of the opponents rose another level.
The soul pets of the top 16 contestants were basically on the same level as the Mountain Bamboo Bear.
Their soul power cultivation levels were all above 700 years, basically around 750 years, some close to 800 years.
They were extremely powerful in certain aspects. At the same time, their Contract Soul Masters had pretty good martial souls.
The fourth day was the competition of the top 16.
More than half of the opponents at this stage were seeded contestants from the major high schools in Glory City.
The other half were the champions of the Enlightenment Cup, while the other half were dark horses.
All the major high schools in Glory City were very powerful.
There was only one Enlightenment Cup in Glory City and only one champion.
Therefore, the seeded contestants of the major high schools in Glory City were much stronger than the champions of the other cities’ Enlightenment Cup.
For example, Chen Fei, Bai Youyou, and Cheng Cheng had all advanced to the third round.
Their soul pets were all very strong and had completed the third stage of evolution.
Moreover, because their soul pets obtained the medicinal liquid refined by the Heart Rending Flower, it could increase their soul power cultivation.
Therefore, their soul power cultivation did not slow down at all but increased even more!
Those who participated in the wilderness competition would greatly increase their soul pets’ future strength.
Because Wang Che did not want those rewards, the green caterpillar’s cultivation only increased steadily.
Therefore, the soul power cultivation of these three soul pets was more than 600 years, nearing 700
years.
It was slightly taller than the green caterpillar.
The three of them advanced to the third round and entered the top 16.
Among the champions of this year’s Enlightenment Cup, the combined strength of these three was very strong
Most importantly, their martial souls were not bad.
This did not mean that their martial souls had a high grade.
On the contrary, the grade of the martial soul was not high.
However, it was too compatible with soul pets and could effectively increase their strength.
For example, when the Earth Crystal Ring was used by the Mountain Bamboo Bear, the green caterpillar would receive a powerful shock from each impact.
Wang Che thought that the three of them could advance to the top eight.
However, Chen Fei, who he thought was the best, was eliminated first.
He was eliminated by a very special contestant.
This Contract Soul Master had two soul pets.
On the fifth day, Wang Che met this contestant.
He was also a popular contestant for the champion title.
