Chapter 131: I Tied Myself Up?
Chapter 131: I Tied Myself Up?
Ice Ya Beast got angry.
The consequences of its anger were serious.
After the Green Caterpillar in the distance fell to the ground and thrashed around, it quickly stood up again.
Ice Ya Beast charged out once more.
But this time.
It was different.
As a Frost Type Soul Pet with over four hundred years of Soul Power Cultivation, it let out a loud roar, and fierce icy breath spread from its limbs.
With every step it took forward, visible ice crystals formed on the dueling platform.
The temperature around began to drop at a noticeable rate.
Even the audience nearby could feel waves of chilling air.
Wu Xiao frowned slightly. Ice Ya Beast was angry.
She could sense the emotions of her Soul Pet.
Soul Pets were different from wild beasts.
When a Soul Pet got angry, its emotions could spiral out of control, but at the same time, the energy it unleashed would also undergo some changes.
For example, when Ice Ya Beast was angry, the Frost Type Life Energy within its body would increase, causing it to overflow uncontrollably.
The downside was that its energy consumption would rise.
The upside was that the opposing Soul Pet in the battle would be affected by this Frost Type Life Energy.
Its speed and strength would be slightly impacted.
‘It’s not angry at me, not because I scolded it… It’s angry at the Green Caterpillar.’
Wu Xiao lowered her head and thought.
Why would it be angry at the Green Caterpillar?
The Green Caterpillar hadn’t offended it.
It was just a normal Soul Pet Battle.
No need to get this angry.
Besides, it had the upper hand just moments ago.
At that moment, something occurred to Wu Xiao, as if she had thought of something. “Could it be… because that Green Caterpillar’s behavior… was an act?”
“Impossible, impossible! How high could a Green Caterpillar’s Spiritual Intelligence be? Higher than Xiao Ya’s? And why would it act… if it was an act, then during the collision earlier, did it not get hurt, just like Ice Ya Beast?”
This somewhat absurd idea made Wu Xiao feel it was impossible.
If it was an act, even she hadn’t noticed it right away.
This Green Caterpillar’s acting skills were too good!
With such high acting skills, even if it had high Spiritual Intelligence, it would be hard to pull off without excellent training!
Moreover, among Soul Pets with around a hundred years of cultivation, very few had such high Spiritual Intelligence.
Let alone a Green Caterpillar.
And why would it act?
Wu Xiao had only checked her opponent’s record and watched one or two of his battles.
She didn’t bother to study every single match of her opponent in detail during the first round.
So she only knew that this Green Caterpillar was very tenacious, refused to admit defeat, and had a powerful headbutt…
Watching Ice Ya Beast charge over full of anger and fury.
Wu Xiao felt a sense of foreboding.
It was a strange feeling, as if she had fallen into some kind of trap…
At the same time.
“Ice Ya Beast is charging over again, and this time, its momentum is so strong! It feels like the dueling platform is shaking! So cold, so cold…”
The announcer sister watched the scene.
She immediately realized that this Ice Ya Beast was going all out.
“The little caterpillar is in trouble! This is the Frost Breath. When Ice Ya Beast gets serious and experiences intense emotional fluctuations, it covers its entire body, affecting the surroundings. At the same time, the power of its Frost Type Soul Skills increases.”
“It seems Ice Ya Beast was shocked by the little caterpillar’s strength…”
…
As Ice Ya Beast charged over, everyone’s hearts raced.
“Hmm… successfully provoked Ice Ya Beast… this student is quite young too.”
Wang Che looked at his opponent and knew she was young.
They were both score-controlling players.
His opponent definitely wouldn’t let Ice Ya Beast use its full strength.
That would make the match boring.
The Green Caterpillar needed training. If his opponent didn’t bring out her true level, the Green Caterpillar would gain very little experience.
So, the first thing to do was to break the limitations the opponent’s Soul Pet placed on itself.
Successfully provoke the opponent’s Soul Pet and bring the battle to the same level.
“Be careful, the opponent is going to use a Soul Skill.”
Wang Che said.
The Green Caterpillar on the combat platform nodded.
It had expected this.
The charging Ice Ya Beast, without a word, surged with frost all over its body.
The icicles on its mouth gleamed coldly. It tossed its head, and two real ice fangs shot out, spiraling through the air.
Soul Skill: Ice Fang Slash.
A Frost Type Soul Skill for Soul Pets with over a hundred years of cultivation.
The sharp ice fangs not only carried freezing temperatures but could also attack in a spinning motion.
They could cause two instances of heavy damage, and the frost on the fangs could freeze the target upon impact.
Additionally, it was a long-range attack.
It was an excellent Soul Skill.
As an Ultra-Rare Soul Pet with over four hundred years of Soul Power Cultivation, its Soul Skill was naturally exceptional.
The Green Caterpillar was hesitant to take it head-on. Its resistance to frost wasn’t high at the moment.
This move was indeed powerful.
The audience watched with bated breath.
The power of this move was clearly extraordinary.
“Use Silk Spitting to wrap yourself up.”
Wang Che immediately commanded.
He knew that Green Caterpillar was not used to facing ice for the first time and needed a short adjustment process.
Green Caterpillar’s eyes lit up—how did I not think of this move!
As expected, my Soul Pact Master is amazing!
I can use my own silk too!
Green Caterpillar quickly started spitting silk and wrapped itself up like a dumpling.
When everyone saw this, they were completely stunned.
Tying itself up?
The next moment!
Sharp ice fangs attacked, and then a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
The sharp ice fangs cut through the thick ice silk covering Green Caterpillar, but only made a small cut.
It barely revealed the Green Caterpillar inside!
“What tough silk! The proficiency level of Green Caterpillar’s Silk Spitting Soul Skill must be very high!”
The commentator said in surprise, “With the sharpness of the ice fang slash, it barely cut through… No wonder it’s the only Soul Skill Green Caterpillar can use! Wrapping itself up with silk to reduce the frost damage from the ice fang slash was a smart move!”
“Soul Skills aren’t just for opponents; they can also be used on yourself when necessary!”
The power of the ice fang slash was blocked by the silk.
Green Caterpillar still took some frost damage.
It wasn’t very afraid of fire anymore.
But the cold pain from the frost made Green Caterpillar uncomfortable.
As one ice fang slash was blocked,
Wu Xiao, who was far away, finally gave a command:
“Use Ice Spike Attack!”
The opponent’s Green Caterpillar was smart and definitely not ordinary.
Even though it wasn’t clear yet whether it was pretending earlier,
it now seemed to want a fair fight with Ice Ya Beast?
If that was the case, Wu Xiao decided to fight seriously.
Ice Spike Attack was a large area-of-effect attack.
At the same time, it was a Core Soul Skill.
Core Soul Skills naturally came with strong effects.
The charging Ice Ya Beast suddenly raised its head and let out a loud roar!
Countless ice spikes, shining like broken glass, rained down toward Green Caterpillar.
It was like a rain of spikes.
The ice spikes were small but powerful.
Each small ice spike could cut through the silk covering Green Caterpillar’s body.
Soon, even the tough silk couldn’t stand being cut like this.
Luckily, after the ice spikes cut the silk, their power weakened a lot when they hit Green Caterpillar.
Green Caterpillar felt it could withstand it.
However, when the silk all over its body disappeared, Green Caterpillar froze.
Countless ice spikes, shining with a cold light, stuck into the ground around it.
“Ice Spike Attack is a Core Soul Skill. After attacking the opponent, the ice spikes fall around it, trapping the opponent. If it moves, it will suffer secondary damage from the spikes! The farther it moves, the longer the damage lasts!”
The commentator sister explained again, “Now Green Caterpillar is in a bit of trouble. With its movement restricted, it will have to face Ice Ya Beast’s finishing blow next!”
“You can see that Ice Ya Beast’s attacks are very well-planned. From Ice Fang Slash to weaken the opponent from a distance, to Ice Spike Attack quickly trapping the opponent—next will definitely be Ice Ya Beast’s finishing move!”
As the commentator predicted.
“Use Cold Wave Impact!”
Wu Xiao continued to command.
Ice Ya Beast roared again, and a bright light shot from its mouth.
The light turned into a roaring cold wave that swept toward Green Caterpillar.
The moment it spat out the wave, Ice Ya Beast’s large body began to charge.
It was very fast, as if riding on the cold wave.
The cold wave covered a very large area.
It could freeze the enemy.
The area-of-effect cold wave hit Green Caterpillar almost instantly.
Immediately, Green Caterpillar’s skin turned icy, and dense frost began to cover it, slowly turning into ice!
At the same time, a fierce impact followed as Ice Ya Beast charged at high speed!
The crowd gasped in surprise!
This move was strong!
“Definitely strong.”
Wang Che nodded, “At this stage, this move’s power is among the top… Frost Type Soul Skills are hard to learn… This opponent is really strong.”
After five days, he finally met a tough opponent.
Of course.
If it weren’t a tough opponent, he wouldn’t think about controlling his score.
Without some strength, who would dare to control their score carelessly?
One mistake and you’re eliminated.
Wang Che felt this was probably the strongest opponent he faced in the first round.
However…
Ice Ya Beast’s fierce impact instantly sent the frozen Green Caterpillar flying.
The moment it was hit, the huge force also shattered the ice on Green Caterpillar.
Like a parabola, Green Caterpillar landed on the platform.
Thud.
The audience held their breath.
Three powerful moves in a row—their combined force would make it impossible for any other Soul Pet to get up.
But, after a while,
Green Caterpillar’s body slowly stood up!
“So strong, so strong!”
Wu Xiao thought in shock.
It could still stand?!
Forget Green Caterpillar—even another Soul Pet with six hundred years of cultivation,
unless it had an advantage over Frost Type, would have a hard time standing after taking that set of Soul Skills from Ice Ya Beast!
And this was a Green Caterpillar!
“What a strong Green Caterpillar!”
Wu Xiao’s eyes shone, as if she was getting excited.
In the faraway audience stands.
“I feel like I see a bit of my own match from back then in this girl…”
Zhou Yan whispered to Chen He, “This expert definitely wants to control his score, otherwise he wouldn’t have lost the last match… This girl seems to want to control her score too, but… it looks like she’s getting into it now…”
“…”
“No need to feel—it’s true.” Chen He said, “I think I already see what’s coming next…”
They were elites from the school and had battled before, so they could understand the situation clearly.
Not just them, but all of Wang Che’s previous opponents thought the same.
