Chapter 185: Heading to the Trial

Green Caterpillar stood there without a care, scratching its head with its tail.

It had been feeling a bit itchy between its eyebrows recently.

Spiritual Pressure?

It wasn’t afraid at all.

Was Wang Che a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Why would it be scared?

Magnetic Sword beside it had never experienced any Spiritual Pressure either.

It had only felt the pressure and aura of the Heavenly Thunder.

Well, that was indeed terrifying.

But after getting used to it, it didn’t feel like much.

Both of them were not bothered by Wang Che’s Spiritual Pressure training.

Seeing this, Wang Che immediately revealed his aura without saying a word.

In an instant, Green Caterpillar and Magnetic Sword trembled all over, feeling as if they were being watched by some fearsome monster.

They instinctively looked over.

That one look shocked them greatly!

At that moment, the Wang Che in their vision seemed to have changed.

He transformed from that high school student into a divine figure with an aura as grand as towering peaks and a presence as vast as the stars in the sky.

Especially in his eyes, there was a terrifying aura that made their very souls tremble with fear!

Wang Che’s Divine Sense, glowing like faint light, immediately intimidated the two little ones with the aura he was emitting.

And that was without Wang Che revealing his Primordial Soul Martial Spirit.

If he had revealed it, it would probably have stunned Green Caterpillar and Magnetic Sword into unconsciousness.

Green Caterpillar and Magnetic Sword now felt as if they were pinned under a massive mountain, unable to move.

The aura Wang Che displayed at that moment shocked their young and vulnerable hearts deeply!

In particular, in Green Caterpillar’s soul, it felt that Wang Che’s aura was even more fearsome and terrifying than that of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Every second, their souls were enduring it…

Soon, just as Wang Che had estimated, in less than half an hour, the two of them collapsed one after another.

The first to collapse was Magnetic Sword. It was weaker and hadn’t faced many hardships. The red light on its blade dimmed, clearly showing it was badly frightened.

Then came Green Caterpillar, whose whole body was soaked, making it look like a wet caterpillar.

“Magnetic Sword lasted only sixteen or seventeen minutes. Green Caterpillar lasted twenty-five minutes, still not half an hour.”

Wang Che pondered. “For non-Psychic-Type Spirit Pets, other Soul Pets indeed improve their Spiritual Power quite slowly. Green Caterpillar’s situation is actually quite good. It has faced some setbacks, and its Spiritual Power is much stronger than other Soul Pets at its Soul Power Cultivation level. Especially that time it faced the Ghost Disciple and used Rebirth from Mortal Peril for the first time.”

“If it were other Soul Pets, they might have fared even worse. Magnetic Sword’s Spiritual Power is even weaker, so it lasted a bit less.”

Even though they didn’t last the full half hour,

for their first time enduring Spiritual Pressure, this result was already quite good.

The Soul Skill Hand of Life couldn’t restore Spiritual Power.

After this half-hour of training, it would take them at least two or three hours to recover.

Wang Che was in no hurry. He put them into the Soul Domain Space and tossed some snacks in with them.

Then he began his own cultivation.

About an hour later, Wang Che let the two of them out again.

They had recovered quite a bit by then.

“How do you feel?”

Wang Che asked.

Green Caterpillar: “(╯︵╰)”

Its expression was very unhappy.

Because in just those twenty-something minutes, Green Caterpillar seemed to have already imagined its daily life from now on…

It would have to endure this half-hour of torment every day.

At this thought, Green Caterpillar let out a loud cry, protesting!

This was too painful!

It resisted!

Green Caterpillar patted Magnetic Sword beside it with its tail.

It wanted Magnetic Sword to join the resistance too!

Otherwise, if it resisted alone, it wouldn’t be very effective.

Magnetic Sword: “…”

The light on its blade formed a slightly excited expression.

It seemed to actually enjoy this.

“Sii wuu sii wuu!”

Green Caterpillar got angry when it saw this—traitor!

Do you want to suffer this Spiritual Pressure torment every single day from now on?

After some persuasion, Green Caterpillar finally convinced Magnetic Sword to resist together.

“Very good, it seems you both are very satisfied with this training,” Wang Che said with a kind smile. “I can tell from your expressions that you really enjoyed this training process! And you’re looking forward to the next session. Excellent! From now on, I’ll train you for half an hour every day until you get used to it!”

Green Caterpillar: “…”

And so, the two little ones had half an hour of ‘enjoyment’ every day.

Time flew by.

Soon, it was the day to go to the Soul Illusion Realm trial.

Over these seven days, especially the last six,

Green Caterpillar and Magnetic Sword improved significantly.

Green Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation had reached 760 years.

Magnetic Sword’s Soul Power Cultivation progressed rapidly, reaching over 460 years after this week.

Their respective Soul Skill Proficiency Levels had improved greatly.

Especially Little Caterpillar.

Its Soul Skill Proficiency improved very quickly because of the Dream Space.

Basically, it no longer had any Soul Skills below Proficiency Level C.

Moreover, it had some ideas about the dual-type Soul Skills Wang Che had mentioned.

It even seemed to be pondering some other Soul Skills.

During several training sessions with Magnetic Sword, the flames formed when using Blazing Charge showed some strange changes.

Wang Che hoped Little Caterpillar would give him some pleasant surprises.

At the same time, every seven days, Wang Che activated his Myriad Vault Dao Palace Martial Soul to let Little Caterpillar enter True Dragon Form, temporarily gaining a trace of Empty God Dragon’s bloodline so it could adapt to the changes brought by this powerful force.

According to Empty God Dragon’s estimate, Little Caterpillar needed to reach around ten thousand years of Soul Power Cultivation to undergo initial evolution. The process could be very painful and had a high chance of failure.

So Wang Che used his Martial Soul to let it gradually bear a little bit at a time. When the real evolution came, it would be much easier.

This was also why Empty God Dragon agreed to pass on the inheritance.

Moreover, each time it entered the first stage of True Dragon Form, Green Caterpillar would gain a small amount of Empty God Dragon’s bloodline. Even after returning to normal form,

it could slowly absorb this bloodline power, and its physical strength would gradually increase.

Seven days was already the limit. If it entered the first stage of True Dragon Form again within seven days, Green Caterpillar’s body wouldn’t be able to handle it. It had to wait until it absorbed the trace of bloodline power activated by the dragon shadow before it could enter the form again.

Therefore, the first stage of True Dragon Form could only be used once every seven days.

If the dragon shadow didn’t activate the Empty God Dragon bloodline power in Green Caterpillar’s body, then it would be True Caterpillar Form.

This form could be entered anytime, as long as Wang Che had enough Soul Power.

True Caterpillar Form was one level stronger than the regular form of Green Caterpillar.

And the first stage of True Dragon Form, because it obtained Empty God Dragon’s bloodline power, was one level stronger than True Caterpillar Form.

According to Wang Che’s estimate, in True Caterpillar Form, Green Caterpillar could easily defeat ordinary Soul Pets with around two thousand years of cultivation. In the first stage of True Dragon Form, it could defeat ordinary Soul Pets with around three thousand years of cultivation.

In its regular form, it could only defeat ordinary Soul Pets with around one thousand years of cultivation.

After all, its current Soul Power Cultivation was only over seven hundred years.

Of course, this “defeating” referred to what it could achieve on its own without Wang Che’s command.

With Wang Che commanding, it would be hard to say.

If the Soul Pet’s grade was too high, it would be difficult to overcome too large a gap in Soul Power Cultivation.

This week, they were lucky to finally have a thunderstorm. Although the Heavenly Thunder wasn’t very strong,

it still gave Magnetic Sword a significant boost and increased its cultivation.

The biggest improvement was in Spiritual Power.

During these days, they endured half an hour of Spiritual Pressure every day on schedule.

Magnetic Sword only managed to last the full half-hour after the fourth day.

Green Caterpillar was relatively stronger, had more experience, and had higher Spiritual Power, so it could last half an hour by the second day.

Then, Wang Che secretly gradually increased the time.

So they unknowingly endured longer.

Every extra minute they endured was good.

After being tormented by Wang Che’s Spiritual Pressure these days, their Spiritual Power might not have had a qualitative leap,

but they definitely made significant progress.

Wang Che planned to add this training to their daily routine in the future.

When their Spiritual Intelligence and Spiritual Power reached a certain level, he would teach them some Cultivation techniques related to Spiritual Power improvement.

Wang Che himself continued to develop steadily, gaining two more strands of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force.

He used a small part of the remaining Nine-Shard Root and preserved the rest of the essence.

He planned to plant it in the Spirit Field and carefully cultivate it after the first layer of the Myriad Vault Dao Palace Martial Soul opened.

It was hard to find a second such Natural Treasure, so using it all up now would be a waste.

He was not far from the second layer of the Soul Nurturing Chapter.

After reaching the second layer, his soul would be as stable as a thousand-foot mountain. Even if an opponent with Divine Sense two or three times stronger than his used a Spiritual Power-related Divine Sense attack, it would be very difficult to break Wang Che.

And so,

Wang Che took Magnetic Sword and Green Caterpillar to the Soul Illusion Realm.

“The Soul Illusion Realm trial this time is between Xiyue Continent and the neighboring Chaotic Sea Prefecture, closer to Chaotic Sea Prefecture. It’s a beginner-level Soul Illusion Realm. Many participants from your Qihang Cup and students from other continents will be there too.”

The staff member took Wang Che on a larger Mech-Feather Eagle. They flew for half a day to the border of Xiyue Continent.

Then they transferred to a Darkwing Night Owl and flew for two hours before approaching the site of the Soul Illusion Realm.

“The trial slots for the Soul Illusion Realm are mostly full in the War Zones under our control,”

the staff member said on the back of the Darkwing Night Owl. “Especially for beginner-level Soul Illusion Realms. At this time every year, a large number of students enter them. Xiyue Continent itself has several Soul Illusion Realms, but they are mid to high level and not suitable for you.”

“Most beginner-level Soul Illusion Realms are located at the borders between continents.”

“There it is, up ahead.”

The staff member suddenly pointed forward.

They were already near Chaotic Sea Prefecture.

Chaotic Sea Prefecture was different from Xiyue Continent, which was full of mountains and forests. It was close to the sea, and the prefecture was divided into pieces by the ocean, making it look chaotic.

That’s why it was called Chaotic Sea Prefecture.

Wang Che looked down.

Ahead, there was a completely black spiral gate.
