Chapter 102: The Magnetic Sword’s Past, Instant Defeat!
As Wang Che stepped onto the stage.
Many classmates started shouting.
“Handsome and so strong, he’s really popular.”
He Zhenfeng looked Wang Che up and down, smiling. “I heard your Soul Pet is a Green Caterpillar? Can you let me see it?”
“No,” Wang Che shook his head.
“Why?”
“Your Howling Sky Tiger is too weak.”
“…”
He Zhenfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.
“Roar!”
The Howling Sky Tiger seemed to understand something and let out a powerful roar.
Electric sparks flickered around it. Its huge body radiated a Monarch Rank-like aura.
“Alright.”
He Zhenfeng wasn’t angry. He made a welcoming gesture. “Other than the Green Caterpillar, do you have a second Soul Pet? Then your Tianxin City is truly impressive. I’ve visited over thirty cities in the Xiyue Continent and have only seen two students raising a second Soul Pet. You’re the third.”
Wang Che unhurriedly took out the Soul Pet Treasure Box and gently opened it.
A flash of crimson light appeared as the Magnetic Sword flew out. Its tip pointed downward as it floated vertically in the air.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
The high school seniors present naturally knew that Wang Che had obtained this Magnetic Sword.
But… only one week had passed!
This Magnetic Sword’s cultivation was clearly very low. How could it possibly stand against this Third Stage Evolution Lightning Howling Sky Tiger with four hundred years of Soul Power Cultivation?
Not only the students of No.1 Middle School were shocked.
Even He Zhenfeng across from him was stunned, and the man and woman in combat suits in the distance were also taken aback.
“Magnetic Sword?”
He Zhenfeng’s expression shifted slightly. “It’s this Magnetic Sword? It’s actually in your hands?”
“You know it?” Wang Che asked.
“Hahaha…”
He Zhenfeng laughed heartily. “Of course I know it. Not just me, many talented Soul Pact Masters in the Xiyue Continent know it. Because we were all invited to form a Life Soul Pact with this Magnetic Sword. Most talented Soul Pact Masters gave up. A few thought this Magnetic Sword might have potential and tried. But they all failed…”
“Especially after seeing the various research reports on this Magnetic Sword, no Soul Pact Masters who were invited afterward were willing to form a Soul Pact with it.”
“Among Magnetic Swords, it is too weak.”
“Later, it was placed in the Soul Pet Base at the Xiyue Continent headquarters… I never expected to see it here with you!”
He Zhenfeng seemed to recall something amusing.
The smile never left his face.
“Classmate, I’m not joking.” He Zhenfeng suddenly became serious. “This Magnetic Sword’s situation is complicated. You must have faced many troubles keeping it by your side, right? If you haven’t formed a Life Soul Pact with it yet, I suggest you return it to the person who gave it to you immediately.”
“As for using it to fight me, forget it. There’s no need.”
“This little guy is quite pitiful.”
He Zhenfeng spoke seriously, seeming to know quite a bit about this Magnetic Sword.
Especially in his eyes, there was a hint of pity.
Wang Che glanced at the Magnetic Sword. Professor Yan had later mentioned some of this little guy’s experiences.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have included those details when telling stories before.
He said this Magnetic Sword was sent from the Soul Pet Research Base at the Xiyue Continent headquarters.
The reason for sending it was that they couldn’t solve its issues.
They could only temporarily place it with them and figure out a solution later.
Hopefully, they could find a suitable Soul Pact Master.
Well, and then they found him.
“Zzzzt…”
The Magnetic Sword, now with increased Spiritual Intelligence, seemed to sense the emotion in He Zhenfeng’s gaze.
It immediately flickered with red light.
Showing it was somewhat angry.
“No need.” Wang Che said slowly. “If we’re fighting, let’s begin.”
“You’re serious?” He Zhenfeng frowned slightly. “You brought out this Magnetic Sword. No matter how well you’ve trained it, your chances of winning are slim. The gap in Soul Power Cultivation alone is too big. Not to mention, even the many professors at the Soul Pet Research Base couldn’t solve its growth problems… You…”
“Fine, then I won’t hold back.”
His well-intentioned advice wasn’t being taken.
Then he didn’t need to be polite.
“Charge straight at it.” Wang Che commanded. “Take down that Howling Sky Tiger in one move.”
The command was extremely simple and direct.
The Magnetic Sword seemed unable to hold back any longer. The moment Wang Che’s words fell.
It shimmered with red lightning around its body and shot forward like a red meteor.
Gasp!
A few exclamations of surprise came from the noisy playground.
“This Magnetic Sword’s speed…”
He Zhenfeng was startled, but he reacted quickly.
Without even giving a command.
The Howling Sky Tiger’s body burst into dazzling lightning.
With a mighty roar, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a bucket shot from the lightning mark on the Howling Sky Tiger’s forehead toward the Magnetic Sword.
That golden lightning was clearly different from ordinary electric attacks.
It looked exceptionally powerful.
Clearly, he and the Howling Sky Tiger had a very high-level Life Soul Pact and were extremely in sync.
However, the moment that golden lightning struck the Magnetic Sword.
The Magnetic Sword suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura. The golden lightning only slightly slowed the Magnetic Sword’s charge.
It was instantly absorbed and blocked by the red lightning surrounding the Magnetic Sword.
At the same time, the Magnetic Sword’s speed surged again!
“Impossible!”
He Zhenfeng blurted out.
It was unclear whether he meant the Magnetic Sword’s speed was impossible or that the Howling Sky Tiger’s attack was ineffective.
In the next moment, Magnetic Sword moved as fast as lightning, charging up and slashing down, carrying a terrifying momentum.
It made Howling Sky Tiger’s huge body suddenly pause, its four legs bending, almost making it fall flat on the ground.
Boom!
“The power of Heavenly Thunder Sword Momentum is clearly strong… Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture is really powerful… It just got trained, and the effect is already this good…”
Wang Che seemed to have expected it all along, showing no surprise at all.
The electric strike Howling Sky Tiger released was indeed a Thunder-Element Ten-Year Soul Skill.
But its power surpassed that of a normal hundred-year Core Soul Skill.
There was indeed something strange going on, and Wang Che had already guessed the general reason.
Unfortunately, with Magnetic Sword’s current strength, that level of lightning would only be absorbed by it.
The stronger the electric strike, the stronger it became after absorption…
Divine Sword Thunder Control True Scripture was originally a Way of the Sword that used the power of Heavenly Thunder for training and attacking.
Especially since the strange energy inside Magnetic Sword could also absorb the power of Heavenly Thunder, making it even more special.
Under the mighty Heavenly Thunder Sword Momentum, Howling Sky Tiger was briefly paralyzed.
The sword slashed down, the powerful force carrying an even larger red lightning, instantly landing on Howling Sky Tiger’s head.
A weak electric current spread throughout the entire area.
With Magnetic Sword’s strength increased several times, the power of this sword strike was not small.
It was a strike fueled by anger and amplified by absorbing Howling Sky Tiger’s golden lightning.
Even though it was just a normal attack, carrying Heavenly Thunder Sword Momentum not only intimidated Howling Sky Tiger but also provided a strong boost.
Most importantly, He Zhenfeng was too overconfident, having fought five matches without any rest.
His Howling Sky Tiger at that moment didn’t have much strength left.
The thirty-centimeter short sword landed on the one-meter-tall, massive Howling Sky Tiger.
It felt like the force of ten thousand pounds, instantly pressing the already crouching Howling Sky Tiger flat onto the ground.
The scene was extremely shocking.
The place was very quiet.
Only a slight sizzling sound could be heard.
Howling Sky Tiger hadn’t completely lost its fighting ability yet, struggling to get up.
“Come back,” Wang Che said from afar.
Magnetic Sword spun twice on Howling Sky Tiger’s head.
Like a sword of Damocles.
Howling Sky Tiger immediately stopped struggling.
Magnetic Sword flew back to Wang Che’s side, hovering quietly.
“How could this…”
He Zhenfeng stared at the fallen Howling Sky Tiger, stunned and bewildered.
He couldn’t figure out how he lost.
He had seen that Magnetic Sword before.
How could it have such immense power?
And how could Magnetic Sword withstand Howling Sky Tiger’s electric strike?
Even Mountain Rock Type Soul Pets of the same cultivation level, which counter Howling Sky Tiger, couldn’t withstand it!
That wasn’t an ordinary electric strike!
His mind was full of question marks.
Especially since Magnetic Sword hadn’t even used a Soul Skill, just a normal attack.
But its momentum was so powerful… Why didn’t the Magnetic Sword he saw before have this kind of strength?
One move, instantly countered and defeated?
Even if he was too overconfident and didn’t let Howling Sky Tiger recover…
That Magnetic Sword couldn’t possibly be this strong…
The place remained silent for several minutes.
“I lost.”
He Zhenfeng wasn’t someone who couldn’t accept defeat, but he was still very unwilling, “If Howling Sky Tiger was at its peak condition, you couldn’t have won.”
Wang Che just smiled and said:
“Just because your Howling Sky Tiger has stored up some Heavenly Thunder power, boosting its Thunder Life Energy for a short time?”
“If that’s the case, even if it was at its peak, you still couldn’t win.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He Zhenfeng was truly dumbfounded this time.
“You, how did you…” He Zhenfeng froze.
“Just a guess, seems like I guessed correctly,” Wang Che had Magnetic Sword fly back into the Soul Pet Treasure Box.
Howling Sky Tiger’s electric strike was far too strange in power.
And from the electric strike released, it was clearly the electric strike Soul Skill, and not some other Soul Skill.
But that huge lightning, its power was unusually strong.
It could even instantly defeat Mountain Rock Type Soul Pets that counter Howling Sky Tiger, which was very abnormal.
Mountain Rock Type Soul Pets have strong body resistance to electricity; normal electric strikes have little effect.
Unless…
Howling Sky Tiger’s Thunder Life Energy was greatly enhanced, then the electric strikes it released would change.
But, from the electric strike Howling Sky Tiger just used, Wang Che noticed something.
Within that electric strike was a trace of Heavenly Thunder power.
So obviously, Howling Sky Tiger wasn’t simply storing ordinary lightning inside.
Wang Che calmly said:
“Your Howling Sky Tiger absorbed some Heavenly Thunder; its Thunder Life Energy has greatly increased, so the Thunder-Element Soul Skills it uses, even if they’re just Ten-Year Soul Skills, are far more powerful than usual. Plus, there was a thunderstorm today—you must have had Howling Sky Tiger store some earlier.”
“And, if I’m not mistaken, before every match, you definitely find a chance to let Howling Sky Tiger store up Heavenly Thunder power.”
“I guess the way you store it has something to do with your Martial Soul.”
Upon hearing this.
He Zhenfeng was shocked and couldn’t help saying, “Did you investigate me? Or did Sister Xi secretly tell you?”
He had traveled through thirty cities, challenging students from dozens of universities.
Never expected to be exposed by a student here.
As soon as he said it, he felt it was impossible.
Wang Che couldn’t possibly know him, and Lin Xi was undergoing special training at Lieyang Club, never mentioning Wang Che.
Even he only learned about the situation here through Lin Xi’s younger sister, Lin Xi.
He just happened to be here, so he wanted to see who this student was that could top Lin Xi.
“Tsk, Zhenfeng’s been completely seen through, still too young, can’t hold it in,” a man in a flaming combat suit said from afar, impressed. “This kid is impressive… That Magnetic Sword is very strange… Not simple, really not simple!”
The woman next to him nodded in agreement.
They had only come along to protect He Zhenfeng’s safety and record his matches.
They weren’t involved in the fights.
“So it really was like that,” Wang Che smiled.
