Chapter 204: The Glazed Azure Luan… Huh? It’s a Green Caterpillar!

Among the women Wang Che had seen in this world, this one’s looks were indeed quite high. The only ones who could compete were perhaps Lin Xi and Feng Xiao in women’s clothing.

However, what interested Wang Che was her Soul Pet.

It was a King Soul Pet, the Glazed Azure Luan.

This was a very beautiful and also very powerful Sky Element Soul Pet.

It had bloodline similar to the ancient Soul Pet, the Green Phoenix. Its feathers gave off a glazed luster.

Its tail had three long, light-red Luan feathers, with light-red gem-like patterns at the ends that resembled eyes.

On both sides of the Luan’s head, there were six clusters of tassel-like plume feathers.

The whole Soul Pet also emitted a faint aura of dignity…

Not only was the person beautiful, but her Soul Pet was even more eye-catching.

Among students, this was Wang Che’s first time seeing a King Soul Pet.

Moreover, the Glazed Azure Luan was a very interesting Soul Pet.

It had only one stage of evolution.

Its first stage was not an Ultra-Rare Soul Pet.

It was a rather ugly common Soul Pet, the Green-Spotted Bird, covered in dense green spots that made it quite unattractive.

Evolving into a Glazed Azure Luan was very difficult.

It was similar to the Timid Lizard type of Soul Pet, but its evolution process was even more complex and challenging. Currently, there was still no detailed special evolution method known for this Soul Pet either.

And it had only one evolution stage.

It evolved directly from the Green-Spotted Bird into the Glazed Azure Luan.

It skipped three Soul Pet ranks to become a King Soul Pet.

What kind of nurturing and materials were required for this process had not been fully researched yet.

“Her Soul Pet is so beautiful!”

Shui Qingling couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is my first time seeing such a beautiful Soul Pet. It’s very rare. Does anyone know what it is?”

The Glazed Azure Luan was extremely rare, even rarer than the evolved form of the Flying Frenzied Lizard, the Cloudsoar King Lizard.

Similar to this Soul Pet was the Koi, which evolved into the White Jade Dragon.

Their evolution methods were all very complex.

It not only involved Martial Soul, Soul Power Cultivation, various rare materials, but also the Soul Pet’s personality, the Soul Pact Master’s personal circumstances, the Life Soul Pact, and more.

All were intricately connected.

Because it was so scarce, many students in the class had never seen one before.

“Glazed Azure Luan,” Wang Che explained. “A King Soul Pet, evolved from the Green-Spotted Bird. It is a powerful Soul Pet that can bring happiness, is beautiful and elegant, and has a wonderful voice.”

Few and rare.

Not only rare, but also difficult to nurture.

For these students in the Agricultural Planting Major, they probably were all seeing this Soul Pet for the first time.

“A King Soul Pet? Wow…” Kong Shijin said in surprise. “I know the Green-Spotted Bird. A few sometimes fly into my family’s courtyard… That can evolve into such a beautiful and powerful Soul Pet? I feel like I missed out on hundreds of millions…”

“I know about the Green-Spotted Bird too… Can it really evolve into this kind of Soul Pet?”

“I think I’ve heard that this Soul Pet is very hard to evolve… Not every Green-Spotted Bird can evolve into a Glazed Azure Luan.”

Everyone was astonished.

“Me, me! I found out this senior’s name! She’s called Shen Mingluan! Her name also has the character ‘Luan’ in it!”

One student said excitedly, “She seems to be a senior in our Agricultural Planting Major too!”

“Then what are we waiting for? How about we directly challenge this Senior Shen?” Kong Shijin said loudly.

Everyone raised their hands, showing agreement.

However, soon they started to have second thoughts.

Because besides the four classes of the Agricultural Planting Major, several other majors, and even a few classes from the Douhun Major, all had the same idea and planned to use a battle of attrition to face Senior Shen’s Glazed Azure Luan.

The first to go up was Class Three from the Douhun Major.

They had about forty-plus people too.

After only five students had taken their turns, the rest of the students retreated.

Because…

They were all defeated in one move. This senior was very kind.

The Glazed Azure Luan basically took out their Soul Pets with one move each.

It was very instructional.

A battle of attrition?

That didn’t exist.

“This Glazed Azure Luan’s Soul Power Cultivation is probably around eighteen hundred years,”

Wang Che said. “It’s basically the highest among these seniors and seniors. If you want to win through a battle of attrition, even if all four classes of the Agricultural Planting Major went up, it would be impossible to succeed… Because, it hasn’t even used its Soul Skills.”

When everyone heard this.

Good grief, eighteen hundred years?

Who could handle that?

The Racial Potential of King Soul Pets is very high. Even if this Glazed Azure Luan evolved from the Green-Spotted Bird at one thousand years of Soul Power Cultivation.

The physical enhancements gained from the subsequent eight hundred years of Soul Power Cultivation were enough to crush them all.

Moreover, after a Soul Pet evolves, its life form changes, and all attributes receive a great boost according to the rank it advanced.

For a Soul Pet evolution that skipped three levels, the vast Life Energy could make the evolved Glazed Azure Luan three levels stronger.

It would make up for the deficiencies caused by the Green-Spotted Bird’s weak early growth.

“Classmate Wang, can you analyze the Glazed Azure Luan’s exact cultivation level?” Yun Feimo felt there was something unusual about this Classmate Wang.

Having such high agricultural skills was one thing, but his understanding of Soul Pet Battle didn’t seem ordinary either.

“A few battles have happened, so I can tell a bit,” Wang Che said.

Yun Feimo thought to herself, even if dozens more battles happened, I still couldn’t tell the specific cultivation level. Unless one was extremely skilled with Soul Pets… it would probably be impossible to analyze.

“Then how about we switch to the Tian senior next to her?” Kong Shijin suggested tentatively.

Tian Xiaoyu was also there, right next to Shen Mingluan.

That Windwhisper Eagle looked much easier to deal with…

“Shall we give it a try?” Shui Qingling chuckled. “Senior Tian has been so good to us… Do you have the heart to use a battle of attrition against her? Anyway, losing isn’t shameful. I’d quite like to see that Glazed Azure Luan up close.”

“The rewards aren’t that important; it’s about participation.”

Everyone thought that made sense.

“Classmate Wang, what do you think?”

Yun Feimo asked.

“I’m fine with anything.”

Wang Che said with a smile.

“That’s no problem then! Let our Class 4 challenge Senior Shen Mingluan!”

Everyone agreed.

At this time, as the Glazed Azure Luan shone brilliantly on the stage.

Many students from other majors felt they shouldn’t be too stubborn.

After all, there were rewards, and the rewards were quite good.

They started shifting their targets toward the other seniors.

So, the number of challenging freshmen gradually decreased.

But there were still some freshmen, either stubborn, attracted by the Glazed Azure Luan, or drawn by Senior Shen’s beauty, who kept coming up to challenge continuously.

On the stage.

Tian Xiaoyu looked at Shen Mingluan beside her, quietly reading a book.

She couldn’t help but say with a laugh:

“Sister Luan, you should at least go a little easy on the freshmen… Look at them, one by one… knocked off the stage by your Luan so quickly.”

“You might dampen their enthusiasm for Soul Pet Battles this way.”

Shen Mingluan put down her book and said with a smile:

“I am going easy. I’m just gently sending their Soul Pets off the stage. Look at the others from the Douhun Major—they beat the opponents’ Soul Pets till they’re near death, losing all fighting ability…”

Tian Xiaoyu looked and thought it seemed true, but she still shook her head and laughed:

“That’s different though. They fight seriously, and their Soul Pets get worn out too. So later on, some freshmen might eventually manage to defeat them.”

“With your way of fighting, their Soul Pets mostly don’t suffer much damage, so your Luan has no chance of being defeated at all.”

“There’s no hope at all.”

Shen Mingluan also sighed helplessly:

“But this is the weakest strength of Glaze. Otherwise, she’d just have to take hits passively. Wouldn’t that be even more obvious?”

Tian Xiaoyu held her forehead and said:

“True. I wonder why Principal Gu decided to have you take part.”

Shen Mingluan thought for a few seconds and said:

“Principal Gu said there’s a very impressive freshman this year… But he didn’t say who, or exactly how they’re impressive… He said it would be a surprise. Principal Gu loves to keep secrets… My curiosity was piqued, so I came to see.”

“A very impressive freshman.” Tian Xiaoyu pondered. “Now that you mention it, I met a very remarkable freshman yesterday… When I was welcoming new students, Professor Yun also told me to pay extra attention to one.”

“Oh?” Shen Mingluan asked curiously. “Didn’t you check? What’s so impressive about him?”

“I meant to look into it, but then I went back to welcoming students, got busy, and forgot. But his agricultural planting skill is really high…”

Just as Tian Xiaoyu was about to continue.

At that moment, a thin young boy stepped onto Shen Mingluan’s stage.

“Hey, Sister Luan, this Soul Pet is a bit powerful—it’s a Flying Frenzied Lizard.” Tian Xiaoyu pointed ahead and said.

Shen Mingluan saw it too:

“It’s quite rare indeed. Could this be the impressive freshman Principal Gu mentioned?”

She became a little more serious.

On the other side.

“A Flying Frenzied Lizard!”

Wang Che’s class was just about to step forward and challenge.

But suddenly another special Soul Pet appeared.

“I know this one—it evolves from a Timid Lizard, and it’s very hard to evolve!” Yun Feimo exclaimed in amazement. “It seems like a freshman from the Medical Soul Major. Choosing the Medical Soul Major with such a powerful Soul Pet… Could his Martial Soul be related to healing?”

“The Flying Frenzied Lizard is so cool too!” Kong Shijin said somewhat enviously. “Timid Lizards are hard to evolve as well…”

Everyone marveled at the strength of this Soul Pet.

Only Wang Che looked speechless.

‘Zhao Yixia? Why is this guy at North River Forest Sea University?’

So far, Wang Che hadn’t met any classmates from Xiyue Continent.

His high school classmates who could come to the Northern River Region all chose Northern River University.

Or else stayed at Xiyue University.

‘Medical Soul Major, his Martial Soul is the Hundred Flowers Staff, which has strong healing abilities… That’s all it does, so choosing the Medical Soul Major isn’t wrong. But Northern River University also has a Medical Soul Major… Instead of going there, why did he come to North River Forest Sea University…’

Wang Che thought to himself.

During the earlier Soul Illusion Realm trial, Zhao Yixia had been focused on challenges.

After they came out, they talked a bit about the Flying Frenzied Lizard Soul Pet.

But they hadn’t talked much after that.

‘Probably there’s some other reason…’

Wang Che shook his head.

He looked toward the stage.

Soon, the two Soul Pets began to fight.

Back in the first round of the Qihang Cup, the Timid Lizard had over three hundred and sixty years of Soul Power Cultivation.

Now, more than a month after the first round of the Qihang Cup, this Flying Frenzied Lizard’s Soul Power Cultivation had surged to over six hundred years.

Back when it was nearly ready to evolve, Zhao Yixia fought all the way through the second round.

He made it to the start of the third round using the half-evolved Timid Lizard.

His opponent in the third round was too strong with a huge gap in Soul Power Cultivation, so Zhao Yixia lost.

But getting to the third round qualified him for the Soul Illusion Realm trial.

After the trial, this Timid Lizard grew much stronger, achieving its current Soul Power Cultivation.

Soon, the Flying Frenzied Lizard and the Glazed Azure Luan began to fight.

Unlike previous battles.

Zhao Yixia’s Flying Frenzied Lizard, with help from his Martial Soul, managed to withstand five moves from the Glazed Azure Luan before finally tiring and losing.

This was the first Soul Pet that could exchange five moves with the Glazed Azure Luan.

Of course, the Glazed Azure Luan hadn’t used any Soul Skills, just regular attacks, defenses, dodges, etc.

But that was already enough to surprise many people.

“So strong!”

Kong Shijin and the others exclaimed in amazement.

Wang Che nodded slightly; Zhao Yixia had trained it quite well.

The Flying Frenzied Lizard had also learned two powerful Soul Skills, and its Spiritual Power was quite good.

The fight lasted almost a minute, which was very eye-catching compared to other freshmen who were quickly defeated.

On the stage.

“You’ve trained your Flying Frenzied Lizard well.”

Shen Mingluan said encouragingly, “Which continent are you from, junior?”

“I’m from Xiyue Continent.”

Zhao Yixia looked at his Flying Frenzied Lizard and said somewhat shyly, “Senior, your Glazed Azure Luan is too powerful… It’s the second strongest Soul Pet I’ve seen among students.”

“Second?”

Shen Mingluan was taken aback and asked curiously, “Then what’s the strongest Soul Pet you’ve seen?”

“Um… a Green Caterpillar.” Zhao Yixia’s eyes showed genuine reverence. “It’s from our Xiyue Continent too. Too bad, the student who raised that Green Caterpillar probably isn’t at Forest Sea University; he might be at Northern River University… I came here to try to keep up with him.”

Shen Mingluan: “???”

A string of question marks popped into her mind.

Tian Xiaoyu, who had just finished a match nearby, nearly laughed out loud hearing this and seeing the scene.

She felt like she vaguely thought of something, but couldn’t grasp it…

“No more talk, Senior. I should step down. There are other students waiting to challenge you.”

Zhao Yixia walked off the stage.

Leaving a somewhat bewildered Shen Mingluan…

At this time, the students from the Agricultural Planting Major Class 4 also prepared to step up and challenge…
