Chapter 205: The Little Caterpillar That Felt Familiar to the Glazed Azure Luan
The matches on site were still intense.
Aside from the Glazed Azure Luan, the other senior students were doing fine.
They weren’t overwhelmingly strong.
The freshmen could basically exchange a few moves. Under the relay battle, soon, one senior sister was defeated.
After all, the purpose of the Soul Pet Battle wasn’t to bully the freshmen.
It was to welcome the freshmen and let them feel the joy of victory.
At the same time, considering that they would form teams in the future, it also allowed the freshmen to adapt in advance to the feeling and atmosphere of achieving victory through teamwork.
Every event in the Opening Ceremony had its own inner meaning.
Soul Pet Battle was something that interested everyone nowadays. Placing it as the first event could stir up the students’ enthusiasm.
“So, who’s going next?” Kong Shijin asked, then scratched his head. “Seems like this question is pointless… since we can’t win anyway… Should I give it a try?”
The classmates all nodded and made a “please” gesture.
Kong Shijin went up, then came down.
He felt a bit embarrassed, but also excited:
“Seeing that Glazed Azure Luan up close was so beautiful… Senior Shen is really pretty too…”
“So, Kong the fatty, you’re done just like that?” Yun Feimo said unhappily. “At least hold out for a couple more moves.”
“I’m not good at fighting…” Kong Shijin said awkwardly. “My Martial Soul leans towards control, and my Soul Pet is just for support. Holding out for a few seconds, I think that’s pretty good already.”
Yun Feimo quickly went up.
Her Martial Soul was a shield, and her Soul Pet was a Rock Spear Crab, which was extremely good at defense.
The Rock Spear Crab was a Soul Pet that had weapons. At the same time, it belonged to the mountain rock type, so its defense was very strong.
After Yun Feimo materialized her Martial Soul, she gave the shield to the Rock Spear Crab, greatly increasing the Rock Spear Crab’s defense while also giving it decent attacking power.
Then… then she lasted until the third move…
“Amazing! You lasted that long!” Kong Shijin said admiringly. “No wonder you made it to the third round in the Feiyun Cup…”
“I’m better at defense.” Yun Feimo shook her head. “Otherwise, I’d only last a little longer… couldn’t make it to three moves. Qingling, want to give it a try? Seeing the Glazed Azure Luan up close is really beautiful…”
“Even if there’s no reward, seeing such a beautiful Soul Pet is worth it.”
The classmates really had a good attitude.
“Me…” Shui Qingling thought for a moment. “My Water Fairy can’t last many moves either… Well, I’ll give it a try.”
Shui Qingling also stepped onto the stage.
To Wang Che, who was watching from the side, it was surprising that this seemingly quiet Shui classmate could last four moves.
As a Supreme Soul Pet, the Water Fairy was the same grade as the Rock Spear Crab.
However, unlike the Plant-Type Flower Fairy, its form and appearance were water-blue.
And it had no flowers on its body, only rings of water flow.
Its defense wasn’t as good as the Rock Spear Crab’s.
The reason it lasted four moves was because this Water Fairy knew a Psychic-type move.
Spiritual Halo: For a short time, it could raise various physical attributes except for strength, defense, and Soul Power Cultivation.
For example, it greatly increased perception, reaction, and speed.
Using this move, the Water Fairy dodged three attacks in a row.
In the end, it was still blown away and defeated by the Glazed Azure Luan with one move.
“That’s all I could do.” Shui Qingling also said helplessly. “The gap in strength is too big… My Water Fairy’s Soul Power Cultivation is less than seven hundred years.”
“No wonder you made it to the top 32… It’s not easy for a Water Fairy to learn Spiritual Halo, right?”
Yun Feimo thought to herself.
This was a very strong support Soul Skill among Psychic-type Soul Pets.
“There are still more than ten classmates left. How about it, Wang Che, you give it a try.”
Shui Qingling said to Wang Che, “I feel like you should be able to last quite a while. You have two Soul Pets, so you should be able to last a bit longer no matter what.”
Wang Che nodded and didn’t refuse.
The Glazed Azure Luan was a genuine Sky Element Soul Pet.
Well, that strongly counters the Green Caterpillar.
According to the little caterpillar’s principle of winning against type disadvantage.
Then let’s send the Little Caterpillar first.
Considering that Senior Shen was currently staring at her Communicator in a daze, as if offline.
All the battle process was done by that Glazed Azure Luan itself.
Then, it should be easier… We could take advantage of its inattention and quickly defeat it.
A Soul Ring appeared on Wang Che.
The Green Caterpillar lazily appeared before everyone.
“Work time, we’re going to battle.”
Wang Che said.
“Sii wu…”
The Little Caterpillar immediately let out a lazy cry.
In its Dream Space, the Little Caterpillar already thought it was invincible.
It thought it was fighting those Soul Pets from the Qihang Cup.
So, it didn’t seem very interested.
“Such a cute Little Caterpillar!”
As soon as the Green Caterpillar appeared, its cute and well-behaved look immediately attracted the eyes of many female classmates.
“Little Caterpillar, do your best!” Yun Feimo giggled. “That’s a Glazed Azure Luan… I wonder if you’re scared or not.”
Sky Type counters Insect Type, every student knew that.
“Wang Che, what’s your Green Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation?” Shui Qingling couldn’t help but ask. “It’s wearing a Soul Guiding Device that changes its form, right? I couldn’t tell before on the Windwhisper Eagle, and I still can’t tell now.”
“More than nine hundred years…” Wang Che said, then led the Green Caterpillar onto the high platform.
Hearing the words “more than nine hundred years,”
Many classmates were stunned.
“Wow, raising a Green Caterpillar to over nine hundred years?” Kong Shijin was shocked. “My gut tells me it’s not simple.”
“This Soul Power Cultivation is just ridiculous.” Yun Feimo remarked. “The champion Soul Pet in our Feiyun Cup only had over seven hundred years, now at most over eight hundred years… How can a Green Caterpillar have such high Soul Power Cultivation?”
“But even if a Green Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation is high… theoretically, it shouldn’t be very strong, right?” a classmate wondered.
“Exactly, knowing it wouldn’t be strong, yet still raising it to this level.” Kong Shijin said. “Working backwards, it means this Green Caterpillar is special… otherwise, it wouldn’t be raised so high.”
“That… makes sense…”
Wang Che walked onto the stage with the Green Caterpillar.
The moment he stepped onto the stage.
Little Caterpillar felt like he had been tricked.
Especially when he saw the incredibly beautiful Glazed Azure Luan, a powerful Soul Pet he had never even seen before.
Little Caterpillar felt he had encountered a formidable opponent.
“Si wu!”
The Green Caterpillar chirped at Wang Che, you didn’t tell me my opponent was this strong!
“This is to test your adaptability in the moment,”
Wang Che said. “Sometimes when facing an enemy, all information is unknown. It depends on how you handle it on the spot, understand? Like that time when we faced those three Soul Beasts and you grasped Rebirth from Mortal Peril.”
Little Caterpillar thought for a moment and nodded:
“┗(·ω·;)┛”
I see!
Got it!
At the same time, many freshmen turned their attention to this Dueling Platform.
It couldn’t be helped—the duel featuring the Glazed Azure Luan attracted the most attention.
Right now, a Green Caterpillar, which was quite rare among all the current students, had stepped onto the stage, making many students talk about it with great interest.
You could still see students with Green Caterpillars in high school.
But in college, especially at a top-tier institution, it was almost unheard of for anyone to keep a Green Caterpillar; even if they did, it would have long since evolved into a Green Phantom Butterfly.
“Ying!”
The opposing Glazed Azure Luan was actually quite tall, standing over three meters high on the ground. When it flew, its wings shimmered with a beautiful luster under the sunlight.
Upon seeing the Green Caterpillar, the Glazed Azure Luan froze for a few seconds.
Because it felt a sense of familiarity.
Back when it was still a Green-Spotted Bird, the only ones it could bully were Green Caterpillars.
After evolving into the Glazed Azure Luan, it had basically never encountered an opponent like a Green Caterpillar again.
This sense of familiarity made the Glazed Azure Luan decide to tease this little caterpillar a bit later.
Just then.
The Green Caterpillar gradually returned to its original form.
A nine-hundred-year-old Green Caterpillar was already over two meters long.
After growing larger and thicker, Little Caterpillar looked a little less cute and a bit more imposing.
Wang Che used Telepathy directly.
This Glazed Azure Luan was indeed quite strong, judging from the previous battles.
It hadn’t used a single Soul Skill.
It relied solely on basic attacks, effortlessly blowing away a bunch of Soul Pets with a gentle flap of its wings.
In terms of Racial Potential, this Glazed Azure Luan was no weaker than the Nether Soul King they had encountered during the trials in the Soul Illusion Realm, and might even be stronger.
Only its Soul Power Cultivation was much lower.
After reverting to its original form, the Green Caterpillar immediately activated Martial Spirit Armament.
Immediately after, Little Caterpillar’s entire body quickly turned black.
This made many of the watching classmates slightly surprised, as they didn’t know what had happened to Little Caterpillar.
The next moment, Little Caterpillar charged forward!
This charge instantly turned the slightly surprised classmates into completely astonished ones!
Little Caterpillar shot forward like a streak of black light, arriving almost instantly in front of the Glazed Azure Luan.
Its speed was unbelievably fast!
The Glazed Azure Luan had just been thinking about teasing this little caterpillar a bit.
However, it hadn’t expected this little caterpillar to suddenly appear right in front of it.
Its mind went blank for a moment.
What just happened?
Fortunately, its combat instincts were sharp, and it quickly snapped back to attention. Letting out a clear cry, it swung its tail like a steel whip toward the Green Caterpillar!
But by now, Little Caterpillar’s Spiritual Power had greatly increased, and its combat experience was rich.
Especially with Wang Che by its side.
‘It hasn’t even used a Soul Skill. The challenges from the earlier Soul Pets have made it somewhat complacent,’
Wang Che thought.
This might actually be an opportunity.
Otherwise, defeating this Glazed Azure Luan without using some trump cards, like the True Caterpillar Form, would likely be impossible.
When the whip-like tail feathers lashed out, the Green Caterpillar showed no fear.
With a light flick of its tail, it leaped upward, dodging the Glazed Azure Luan’s tail attack.
Then, its tail began to glow faintly as it launched a Rattler Tail Strike mid-air, landing directly on the Glazed Azure Luan’s head.
The Glazed Azure Luan never expected this Green Caterpillar’s reactions to be so quick?
The Rattler Tail Strike hit its mark.
The Glazed Azure Luan felt as if its head had been struck by a maglev train, and the immense force sent it flying backward!
But its combat instincts remained sharp; it quickly righted itself in the air and took flight.
Then, it let out a clear, resonant cry.
It had an epiphany.
