Chapter 3: Titled Heavenly King

Walking out of his room, Wang Che saw Mother Wang playing with the Green Caterpillar.

“Old Wang, let’s take some time off later and take Xiao Che and this child out for a walk.”

“Didn’t that child plan to go out with his classmates?”

“I know, but do you know where they’re going? It’s the Soul Pet Base! A few of his good classmates are planning to buy Soul Pet Eggs there. If Xiao Che goes, won’t the psychological gap be even bigger? How could he stand it?”

“Ah, I actually forgot about that! Alright then…”

The two were talking.

Wang Che walked out.

“No need,” Wang Che said.

“…” The two of them.

“I’ll go out soon,” Wang Che looked at them calmly.

“Xiao Che, are you okay?” Mother Wang looked at Wang Che with uncertainty.

He had been so down just a moment ago, how did he recover so quickly?

“I’m fine,” Wang Che showed a faint smile.

“Then why were you like that during the meal earlier…?” Father Wang felt that Wang Che now seemed somewhat similar to how he was yesterday.

“I had a nightmare last night,” Wang Che said casually. “It wasn’t because of the Soul Pet.”

“I see,” Father Wang suddenly understood. “What kind of nightmare? You looked like you lost your soul this morning.”

Wang Che looked at his father, thought for a moment, and said:

“In the dream, you told me that you’re actually a hidden Titled Heavenly King in the Seven Federal War Zones of the Martial Soul Federation. You’re hidden among ordinary people to experience life.”

Father Wang was stunned for a moment, then showed a shocked and delighted expression, saying: “There’s such a good dream? Why haven’t I dreamed of that… No, that’s a good dream! How could it be a nightmare?”

Wang Che continued:

“Just when I was happy, you then told me that I’m not your biological child, that I was picked up. We don’t share a blood relationship.”

Father Wang was stunned again, then nodded in understanding: “That really is a nightmare, no wonder you looked so lost.”

Mother Wang also nodded, suddenly realizing.

The Titled Heavenly King is the highest recognition given by the Martial Soul Federation to the strongest Soul Pact Masters in today’s world.

It’s a symbol of honor and strength.

It’s an object of reverence and aspiration for all Soul Pact Masters.

If one has the bloodline of a Heavenly King, the awakened Martial Soul would never be too weak.

Without a blood relationship… then…

“What about this child, are you taking it with you?” Mother Wang poked the Green Caterpillar’s tender head.

“Of course,” Wang Che looked at the Green Caterpillar. “It’s my Soul Pet.”

As he spoke, Wang Che squatted down, touched the Green Caterpillar, and opened his palm.

“Sii wu!!”

The Green Caterpillar shrank its body, first touching Wang Che’s finger with its head to make sure it wouldn’t be flicked away.

It happily wriggled onto Wang Che’s palm.

Its glass bead-like eyes curved, looking very happy.

Wang Che sighed inwardly.

He put the child in the chest pocket.

In his previous life, he had actually taken in quite a few pets.

Any one of them was at the level of a divine beast from the Cultivation World.

One so weak…

It’s okay, Wang Che told himself, this isn’t a problem.

Walking out of the house, the fresh morning air could lift the spirits of even the most tired person.

Wang Che took a deep breath, looking at the blue sky outside and the tall buildings.

Where he lived was just an ordinary residential area.

But the green environment wasn’t bad either.

Planted around were Silver Flowers, not only beautiful in appearance but also capable of purifying polluted air and emitting a fresh fragrance.

They were the preferred landscaping plant in most cities.

Of course, normal Silver Flowers weren’t Soul Beasts, just a special type of plant.

Additionally, the trees planted around were Cloud Tung Trees.

These Cloud Tung Trees had straight trunks, light purple in color, and their scattered leaves looked as white as clouds from a distance.

At night, those branches and leaves also had considerable lighting effects.

They were both beautiful and practical.

Similarly, normal Cloud Tung Trees weren’t Soul Beasts either. They were just a special type of plant.

Walking out of the residential area, many people walking with their Soul Pets could be seen on the road.

Among the Soul Pets Wang Che saw, most were actually quite ordinary.

Some rare ones could also be seen.

After all, for ordinary families, if they tightened their belts, it wasn’t impossible to buy a rare Soul Pet Egg for their child.

Arriving at the floating station, Wang Che took the Maglev Train, passing through more than twenty stops, before reaching the only Soul Beast Base in his city.

In today’s world, there was only one highly centralized organization.

The Martial Soul Federation.

Under the Federation, it was divided into Seven War Zones.

Each War Zone was equivalent to a country.

Within the War Zones, there were their own continents and cities.

The city Wang Che was currently in was Tianxin City in the Xiyue Continent of the Donghua War Zone.

The building in front, shaped like a large bird’s nest and built against the mountain, was the Tianxin Soul Beast Base.

The Xiyue Continent was mostly covered with high mountains, dense ridges, and forests like shuttles.

The Soul Beasts that inhabited it were mainly of the Sky Type, Mountain Rock Type, Plant-Type, and Insect Type.

“Wang Che, you’re finally here. I thought you weren’t coming!”

Just after getting off the Maglev Train, before even reaching the base entrance, Wang Che heard a voice.

The base was very large, with a huge square at the entrance where various Soul Pets could be seen everywhere.

There was the Hundred-Flower Beast covered with various flowers and plants, shaped like a top; the tall, muscular Mushroom Rock that resembled a kangaroo.

There was the Wing Feather Eagle soaring in the sky with wings spread like airplane wings; there was even an extremely rare half-humanoid elemental spirit Soul Pet, the Wood General.

…

Countless Soul Pets were enough to dazzle any teenager.

There were also many Soul Pets that even in Wang Che’s eighteen years of memory, he couldn’t name.

The Tianxin Soul Pet Base didn’t just sell young Soul Beast Eggs.

It was also a Research Base itself.

The Green Caterpillar in Wang Che’s chest pocket also peeked out halfway, looking at the countless Soul Beasts.

Its eyes sparkled, especially when looking at the Soul Beasts soaring in the sky, filled with fascination…

“What, are you stunned too?”

The voice gradually approached, coming from a boy with a crew cut and a somewhat roguish air, slightly shorter than Wang Che.

Xu Haifeng, Wang Che’s classmate and good friend.

“Not really,” Wang Che waved his hand.

“I really admire your calm demeanor,” Xu Haifeng patted Wang Che’s shoulder. “But honestly, I think it’s a shame for you.”

Xu Haifeng looked at the Green Caterpillar on Wang Che’s chest, hesitated to say more, but ultimately didn’t.

“Let’s go, let’s look inside,” Xu Haifeng added. “We’re lucky today; several Soul Pet professors are at the base. That person booked one of them, Professor Yan, for us. Our class is benefiting from this.”

At the Soul Pet Base, you could choose Soul Pet Eggs yourself.

Usually, professional researchers would personally help buyers select and match Soul Pet Eggs.

The prices were naturally not low.

And if someone of professor status made the selection, the chosen Soul Pets were usually excellent and very suitable for the individual.

Whether it was the first Soul Pet or the second.

But not everyone could invite a professor from a Soul Beast Base.

That was no longer just a matter of money.

“Professor?” Wang Che was slightly surprised.

“Yeah, Miss Lin Xi invited him to personally select Soul Pets for our classmates,” Xu Haifeng said.

“That’s pretty good,” Wang Che nodded.
