Chapter 134: The Crushing Battle! The Green Caterpillar That Never Looked Back!
Chapter 134: The Crushing Battle! The Green Caterpillar That Never Looked Back!
Wang Che had used it before when he participated in the Silk Spinning Competition.
Now, every month, he provided a batch of special Silk Spitting to the Rice Worm Group.
The amount each month was increasing.
The Green Caterpillar never stopped training with this special Silk Spitting.
A few months ago, the special Silk Spitting could only withstand a few hundred degrees of heat.
Now, as the Green Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation grew day by day, and after it devoured the fire rock from the Floating Forest and ate Sun-Crystal Milk Pine Leaves daily, the fire-type Life Energy inside its body kept rising.
The power of the special Silk Spitting was no longer what it used to be.
If there was a Soul Skill Engraving for Fire Whip,
then the Silk Spitting used now would be a Fire Whip strike, which would be a sure kill.
But unfortunately, there was none.
Still, it was enough.
The Silk Spitting melted slowly in the flames at a very slow speed.
This speed was enough for the Green Caterpillar to pull the Flame Sparrow down.
The Green Caterpillar, biting the silk thread, pulled down while lightly pushing its tail against the ground.
Bang!
In that instant, visible cracks appeared on the Dueling Platform beneath the Green Caterpillar.
The Green Caterpillar shot up into the air faster than the Flame Sparrow could take off.
Countless spectators watched with their mouths wide open, their minds briefly freezing.
So strong!
Even Cui Ao’s mind couldn’t help but form these two words.
Too strong!
What kind of tail was that?
Was it really that amazing?
Was the power of that instant burst so exaggerated?
Was that Dueling Platform not made of tofu?
The Green Caterpillar hadn’t used its tail to attack before, right?
Hadn’t it always used its head to charge?
At the same time, the Green Caterpillar’s tail began to glow.
“Rattler Tail Strike!”
The young commentator immediately exclaimed loudly, “It’s Rattler Tail Strike! The Green Caterpillar is going to use Rattler Tail Strike! This is a Soul Skill, a Ten-Year Soul Skill! The Green Caterpillar is using another Soul Skill besides Silk Spitting!”
The young commentator felt he reacted quite quickly.
But as soon as he finished speaking,
the Green Caterpillar had already shot up high and faced the Flame Sparrow head-on.
“Don’t give up, use High-Temperature Magma!!”
Cui Ao suddenly roared.
Cui Ao was stunned, but he was, after all, an elite from Star Glory Middle School.
No matter how stunned he was, he could quickly react in battle.
At this moment, the Green Caterpillar was going to use Rattler Tail Strike to attack the Flame Sparrow up close, but the Flame Sparrow could also attack the Green Caterpillar at close range!
High-Temperature Magma
was a Core Soul Skill for Fire-Type Soul Pets, a hundred-year level one.
The scorching magma could not only deal a lot of damage to the opponent, but it would also cover the opponent’s body, disrupting their attack rhythm and causing continuous burn effects.
This was also a very difficult Soul Skill to master.
The magma itself could harm the Soul Pet; if it couldn’t condense magma inside its body, it could easily hurt itself.
Many Fire-Type Soul Pets ended up in the hospital while training this move…
But the Flame Sparrow, in this critical moment, still performed excellently.
The Flame Sparrow spat out a large amount of boiling magma from its mouth!
The Green Caterpillar naturally couldn’t dodge.
It faced the move directly.
The boiling magma instantly covered the Green Caterpillar’s entire body.
At this time,
the results of the previous week’s training showed.
Having endured at least a hundred Fire-Type Soul Skills already, the Green Caterpillar had developed considerable resistance and endurance to many Fire-Type Soul Skills.
The magma falling on the Green Caterpillar didn’t hinder its Rattler Tail Strike attack rhythm at all!
Not even a slight pause!
Moreover, as the Flame Sparrow spat out the magma,
the Green Caterpillar’s glowing Rattler Tail Strike also landed on the Flame Sparrow.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted in the air!
The Flame Sparrow’s body bent into a U-shape, and its head got knocked sideways.
It instantly turned into a streak of fire, whoosh, crashing onto the Dueling Platform.
It kicked up a wave of scorching dust.
Everyone watched again with their mouths wide open…
The young commentator also opened his mouth:
“Wo… This, this, this Rattler Tail Strike is so powerful?”
On the other side, Cui Ao was dumbfounded.
Just from the aura, he could tell that this Rattler Tail Strike’s Proficiency Level must have reached S-rank.
The explosive power was simply terrifying!
At this moment, the Green Caterpillar was still covered in magma, like a layer of battle armor.
It landed steadily on the ground.
It wanted to go check on that Flame Sparrow…
But then Wang Che said, “Don’t look back, just go.”
The Green Caterpillar paused for a moment, then understood immediately.
It turned around coolly and left.
When it reached the edge of the Dueling Platform.
It was then that the shocked voice of the referee came through:
“Flame Sparrow is unable to battle. Green Caterpillar… wins.”
Whoa!!!
The whole venue fell silent for several seconds.
Then it suddenly erupted in a loud uproar!
“A total domination.”
The young commentator muttered, “Superior Soul Power Cultivation, a Racial Potential three levels higher, the advantage of dual attributes, a carefully arranged strategy, excellent combat skills… and even under these conditions… contestant Cui Ao was completely dominated…”
In the first round, this Green Caterpillar performed impressively, with both wins and losses.
In the first two matches of the second round, it still lost, but this time, it displayed such overwhelming strength…
‘A points-controlling contestant.’
The young commentator suddenly understood—this was a pro!
He couldn’t help but look at Wang Che.
This was just too crazy…
Although Green Caterpillar was strong, the strongest was the contestant behind it.
Looking at every step of the match,
from the moment Green Caterpillar anticipated the Blazing Storm attack,
perhaps, the outcome of this match had already been decided.
Everyone watched as Green Caterpillar walked away without looking back, its departure stylish and cool. Most of the audience’s faces lit up with intense excitement.
This was the shortest battle Green Caterpillar had participated in.
It lasted barely over a minute from start to finish.
But it was definitely the most thrilling one!
“So strong! How can Green Caterpillar be this strong?”
“I get it now! In the earlier matches, Green Caterpillar was just farming experience!”
“Isn’t that terrifying? To win only at the last moment when the opponent was completely exhausted… How is that even possible?”
“Wait, so that means Green Caterpillar’s losses before were…”
“Yeah, it was controlling its points. It wanted to play all the matches.”
“Wow, that’s so pitiful… The opponents in the first round were all just experience fodder…”
“Boo hoo, I thought Green Caterpillar had grown stronger, but it was actually tricking us all along…”
“The way Green Caterpillar didn’t even look back was just so cool!”
…
This battle sparked countless discussions.
Nothing was more shocking than watching a Green Caterpillar completely dominate a Flame Sparrow that had double the advantage over it.
At least, not today.
“Where did this prodigy come from?”
On the stage, Zhou Yan and Chen He looked at the silent Cui Ao as he walked off the platform and actually felt a little sorry for him.
It was just too brutal.
To be crushed so mercilessly.
“Even though we were basically experience fodder too, at least we managed to trade blows with Green Caterpillar…”
Zhou Yan muttered, “But Cui Ao was straight-up dominated… I’ve never seen a Green Caterpillar this strong in my life. What a shame for Cui Ao—his Martial Soul, the Everlasting Lamp, didn’t even get a chance to be used… It’s gone just like that… I bet the prodigy had already accounted for that. He didn’t give his opponent any chance to use his Martial Soul!”
Although they’d known all along that Green Caterpillar’s hidden strength would be freakish,
they never imagined… it would be this insane.
Cui Ao had been cautious enough. Clearly, he must have watched the earlier matches and guessed a little—
that Green Caterpillar might be controlling its points for training.
But it was a pity…
Guessing didn’t help.
This match was bound to become the top headline of the day.
By now, Wang Che had already taken Green Caterpillar to the Soul Pet Recovery Center.
There.
“You did well today.”
Wang Che patted Green Caterpillar’s head, “When we get back tonight, three extra chapters!”
“Oooh oooh oooh~~!”
Green Caterpillar let out excited sounds.
It was even more thrilled than when it had won the match earlier.
Usually, it only got two chapters of stories, but today there was an extra one.
So happy!
After some time at the Soul Pet Recovery Center.
“Wow, your Green Caterpillar showed its true strength today!”
The nurse lady exclaimed as soon as she saw Wang Che arrive.
“Huh?”
Wang Che froze.
Was the news spreading that fast?
“Look! Look!”
The nurse lady opened her Communicator and tapped into the Xiyue Continent Soul Pet Battle APP.
The headline read:
Shocking! How could a Green Caterpillar counter-kill a Flame Sparrow?
Is this a mutation in the Soul Pet, or a distortion in the Soul Pact Master?
Wow…
Wang Che shook his head.
“Revealing all your strength so early, be careful you don’t get targeted.”
The nurse lady said with concern.
Wang Che smiled.
He glanced at Green Caterpillar.
Green Caterpillar glanced back at Wang Che.
All its strength?
This was only… the tip of the iceberg.
Wang Che thanked the nurse lady for her concern.
After Green Caterpillar finished recovering, Wang Che left the Soul Pet Battle Center.
On his Communicator, many classmates sent their congratulations.
Most of those who had been eliminated didn’t leave but stayed to watch the matches.
They were all Wang Che’s… no, Green Caterpillar’s fans.
“Wang Che, I watched your match today. I thought you would still be training Green Caterpillar… Well, the difficulty in the second round has increased; it’s really not easy to train anymore.”
Teacher Zheng was very concerned about Wang Che, “Over the next few days, watch out for special terrains, especially those unfavorable for Green Caterpillar. Now that your strength has been exposed, there are many prodigies here in Rong City. Winning matches as easily as today won’t be so simple anymore.”
“How is Green Caterpillar’s Insect Sound practice going?”
“I know what I’m doing,” Wang Che replied, “Green Caterpillar has mastered Insect Sound very well, and has had it down for a long time.”
“That’s good. Be careful. Once you enter the third round, ahem… you and Lin Xi are the only high school seniors from Tianxin City in recent years to make it to the third round of the Qihang Cup.”
“I won’t ask for too much; if you can make the Top Sixteen, that’s enough.”
“Teacher, think bigger. How about aiming for the championship?” Wang Che said.
“……” Teacher Zheng fell silent.
“Bro Che, you’re seriously amazing, just casually talking about winning the championship. I got eliminated in my very first match, so I’ve been studying the info on the other contestants. I’ll send the materials to you later. I estimate that in a few more days, only you and Lin Xi will be left.”
“I’ve been watching the other contestants’ matches too… There are a few you really need to watch out for. They’re super strong!”
“……”
Very few of the classmates had made it to the second round.
The fact that Wang Che had come this far made them proud, and they hoped he could go even further.
They all carefully studied the other matches and gathered battle data.
Wang Che thanked them one by one and accepted the various video materials sent via email.
Only after carefully reviewing them did he delete them.
The second match soon began, and Green Caterpillar continued its high-level dominating performance.
Moreover, some opponents weren’t even as advantageous against Green Caterpillar as Flame Sparrow had been.
Luck was still on their side; the randomly selected terrain for two or three matches was normal terrain.
Combined with Wang Che’s experience, unless the opponent used their Martial Soul right from the start, once the battle began, he absolutely didn’t give them a chance to use it.
And so, using only Silk Spitting and Rattler Tail Strike, Green Caterpillar won continuously for three days.
Until the fourth day of the second round.
On this day, luck seemed to have run out.
They randomly got Forest Terrain.
And the opponent was a Violent Forest Serpent King with 690 years of Soul Power Cultivation!
A Violent Forest Serpent King that could perform exceptionally well in the forest, comparable to a Supreme Soul Pet!
