Chapter 235: Another Month Passed, Heading to Soul Land
Gentle Breeze was a support Soul Skill.
It was certainly not an ordinary gentle breeze.
The Ten-Year Soul Skill Gentle Breeze could create a special breeze in the sky, allowing Sky Element Soul Pets to move more freely.
It increased one’s own speed while making it harder for the opponent’s attacks to land.
However, the Ten-Year Soul Skill Gentle Breeze was not very noticeable.
After advancing, the Hundred-Year Soul Skill, Great Wind Arises, had a very significant effect.
The Thousand-Year Soul Skill was Listening to the Wind’s Sound, and the ultimate Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill was Divine Wing Wind Field.
It was a very powerful support Soul Skill.
Generally, after advancing to Listening to the Wind’s Sound, its effects became quite strong.
Not only did speed increase significantly, but one could also hear the language of the wind to predict the opponent’s attacks.
Once this move was used, almost any attack from the opponent would be difficult to land.
Unless it was a mental-type Soul Skill.
Wang Che asked Little Caterpillar why he chose this move.
Little Caterpillar said that this move allowed it to fly better.
Hmm, it was indeed a reasonable choice.
“The selection is done. Let’s start learning,” Wang Che said.
These three Soul Skills could be exchanged for Soul Skill Engravings at the academy because they were all Ten-Year Soul Skills, making them very easy to obtain.
Even at night, they could be directly exchanged through the Forest Sea Academy app.
In less than ten minutes, a Sky-Speed Bird from the Agricultural Plant Hall flew to the front of Wang Che’s wooden hut and chirped.
It dropped three packages.
Inside were three Soul Skill Engravings.
He gave Little Caterpillar the corresponding Gene Capsules one by one, then had it learn the Soul Skills from the scrolls.
Before long, Little Caterpillar’s mind had mastered all three moves.
These three moves were relatively simple and not difficult for Little Caterpillar.
After a few hours, it could successfully release them.
By then, the sky had darkened.
“Whew~”
Little Caterpillar let out a sigh. The training sessions were finally over.
Time to play!
Actually, there was one more session.
But the final session had to be trained based on the situation.
“You’ve completed all of today’s training sessions,” Wang Che praised. “Although none were passed, there was significant improvement. However, it’s too late now. You completed the sessions too slowly, so just rest directly.”
“Don’t forget to practice the newly learned Soul Skills in the Dream Space.”
Little Caterpillar thought for a moment and felt something was off.
Wait, I haven’t played today?
Little Caterpillar looked at Wang Che with a confused expression.
“You should be very tired right now,” Wang Che said. “When you’re this tired and there’s no time left, how can you play? Once you become more proficient in the training sessions, you’ll have more time to spare.”
“You agreed to the intensified training yourself.”
“…” Little Caterpillar.
Exhaustion quickly sent Little Caterpillar into a deep sleep.
On the first day of intensifying training after reaching Millennium Spirit Power Cultivation, it was having a hard time adjusting.
After Little Caterpillar fell asleep,
Wang Che entered his Myriad Vault Dao Palace Martial Soul.
At this point, the third Spirit Field had appeared.
After cultivating in the Inner Layer of Thunder Roar, his Soul Power increased from twenty-seven strands to over twenty-eight strands.
In this week, he cultivated over one more strand of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force.
After reaching thirty strands of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force, another Spirit Field was added.
Three Spirit Fields.
Moreover, the newly added Spirit Field quickly grew to the same size as the previous two.
Due to the Soul Ring, the Spirit Field area expanded, allowing Wang Che to plant more Soul Plants.
The first two fields were planted with Water Orchid, Flame Fall Fruit, Earth Ginseng Root, and Soul Fragrance Leaf.
Interspersed among them were a few stalks of Seven-Leaf Soothing Grass.
They were colorful.
Wang Che harvested a batch and continued planting the seeds.
“After the three Spirit Fields expanded, the normal growth demands too much of my Soul Power,” Wang Che calculated. “If I plant higher-level Soul Plants in the third Spirit Field, the daily Soul Power consumption might exceed the natural recovery rate.”
“For the third Spirit Field, I’ll plant those three Ethereal Lotus seeds first. Little Caterpillar’s Spatial Leaves are almost finished anyway.”
Ethereal Lotus was the seed given by Shen Mingluan during the Opening Ceremony.
It contained slight Spatial Power and was a very rare seed imbued with spatial energy.
It was extremely difficult to cultivate.
Wang Che planted the Ethereal Lotus in the third Spirit Field and found that his Soul Power was consumed even faster.
“The growth of these three Ethereal Lotus plants consumes as much Soul Power as ten Water Orchids or Flame Fall Fruits,” Wang Che shook his head slightly.
He would process the seeds after these three matured.
However, processing Ethereal Lotus seeds was even more difficult, so he wouldn’t let Little Caterpillar waste them.
He would handle it himself.
Otherwise, they would end up with fewer and fewer.
At the same time, Wang Che also planted the seed containing Soul Energy, obtained from the Soul Illusion Realm, into the third Spirit Field.
The consumption of Hundred-Tempered Soul Force intensified again.
The remaining space in the third Spirit Field was planted with some low-level Soul Plants like Water Orchid.
To stockpile a bit.
After this day, I probably expended most of my Hundred-Tempered Soul Force. I needed some time to recover.
But this seed from the Soul Illusion Realm, I wonder what kind of Soul Plant it will grow into?
By Wang Che’s estimate, this seed might take quite a long time to grow.
It would take two weeks, or even more than three weeks to cultivate.
And there is that seed given by Professor Yun.
Wang Che felt a stir in his heart.
During the Opening Ceremony, the seed Professor Yun gave should be of very high rarity.
It might even be a seed of an advanced Soul Plant.
For now, he would not plant it.
After the three Spirit Fields, production would increase, and he could slowly stock up on some main food for Little Caterpillar.
Just like that… unknowingly, three weeks passed.
The second month of school ended, and it was now late October.
It was the weekend of this week.
Early in the morning, Little Caterpillar opened its eyes on time and consciously ran to the high-speed training ground.
It completed a one-kilometer Blazing Charge, then went to the Training Room to attack that piece of Black Gold Composite Steel with Blazing Charge.
When the Black Gold Composite Steel showed increasingly deep marks, Little Caterpillar arrived on time at the combat arena next to the Training Room.
Wang Che had already been waiting for it there for a long time.
After a round of training.
In these three weeks, Little Caterpillar only succeeded four times in hitting Wang Che with Energy Bomb, Silk Thread, and Insect Net, and used Insect Concealment to avoid Wang Che’s search, ending the training session early.
On those four occasions, because training ended early, Little Caterpillar had plenty of time to play for most of the day.
Even though it was only four times…
In the afternoon, Little Caterpillar began practicing Insect Sound on that somewhat barren hill.
The hill was barren, covered only with various jagged rocks, because ordinary trees had been shattered by Little Caterpillar’s sound.
Faintly, one could already hear a hint of Dragon’s Roar in Little Caterpillar’s Insect Sound.
But there was still a big gap.
In the evening, it started condensing Five Elements Soul Essence and practicing the newly learned three-element Soul Skills.
Because the proficiency levels of other Soul Skills had already reached the maximum, and all were advancing in comprehension.
Three weeks of training made Little Caterpillar very familiar with this set of exercises; if it went quickly, it could barely squeeze out an hour.
Although compared to before, playtime was greatly reduced.
But when it thought about how, if it could hit Wang Che in a few training projects against Wang Che, it could end training early and have most of the day to play, Little Caterpillar felt a bit hopeful.
Especially with the condensation of Five Elements Soul Essence, it was almost done condensing the first one, the Flame Soul Essence.
In these three weeks, Little Caterpillar improved very quickly.
Wang Che looked at the sleeping Green Caterpillar and nodded with satisfaction.
The Flame Soul Essence was almost condensed.
Several Soul Skills also showed signs of advancing; without any issues, they might fully advance after about two more months of training.
Two months was actually very short.
Comprehending advancement required a process; it couldn’t succeed randomly in a day or two.
Especially for a Soul Pet like Little Caterpillar with not very high talent.
And with so many Soul Skills.
Advancing from Hundred-Year Soul Skill to Thousand-Year Soul Skill—some Soul Pets only had a chance to advance successfully after two or three thousand years of Soul Power Cultivation.
It would take at least more than a semester, reaching sophomore or even junior year, before they started teaching Soul Pets to advance their Soul Skills.
A bit slower, and it might take until four or five thousand years of Soul Power Cultivation to fully advance.
The more difficult the Soul Skill, like complex dual-element Soul Skills, had an extremely high advancement difficulty.
So some students chose to buy Soul Skill Engraving to assist in training advancement, which reduced the difficulty and time a lot.
If Little Caterpillar could successfully advance all its core Hundred-Year Soul Skills in the first semester, its strength would greatly improve.
Like Senior Xiao, who they did tasks with initially, he started advancing the Hardening Soul Skill for his Diamond Tri-Rock during the summer of his freshman year and continued until now in his sophomore year. Wang Che still sometimes had Little Caterpillar go help his Diamond Tri-Rock advance its Soul Skills, earning some points in the process.
And it still hadn’t fully advanced.
It showed how difficult it was to learn core Thousand-Year Soul Skills through comprehension advancement.
The next day was the weekend, and Wang Che temporarily ended Little Caterpillar’s training.
Today, we have to go to Thunderous Soul Earth. That place is opening soon.
Wang Che said, We need to go train.
Hearing this, Little Caterpillar felt a bit unaccustomed.
With Thunderous Soul Earth opening, various universities in North River Continent received notifications for the Competitive Trial.
The school would give an extra day off during the weekend for students to enter Thunderous Soul Earth for the Competitive Trial.
If the Inner Layer of Thunder Roar was like a small training ground for Magnetic Sword, then Thunderous Soul Earth was like a big training ground.
In these three weeks, they went to the Inner Layer of Thunder Roar twice, training only twice each time.
Magnetic Sword’s Soul Power Cultivation reached 999 years.
It needed to break through to Millennium Spirit Power Cultivation.
Breaking through wasn’t actually difficult, but Magnetic Sword wanted to stabilize for a while longer, so it didn’t break through.
Little Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation reached over 1,130 years.
This month, Little Caterpillar’s Soul Power Cultivation seemed to increase quickly.
Originally, it could only increase by three to four years of Soul Power Cultivation daily.
After consuming the five main foods and reaching Millennium Spirit Power Cultivation, it increased by six to eight years of Soul Power Cultivation daily—doubled.
It looked much faster.
But actually… in the overall stage of a thousand years, progress was very slow.
After all, there were ten sets of one thousand years.
Even though Little Caterpillar’s Soul Power absorption rate was still rising.
For now, Wang Che was quite satisfied with Little Caterpillar’s condition.
Especially after Wang Che used that Toxic Treasure from the Giant Swamp Poison Frog, combined with some cultivated herbs, to refine a Toxic Treasure Spirit Pill for Little Caterpillar to take.
As expected, the mucus on Little Caterpillar’s Silk Thread developed strong toxins.
Now, with the same Soul Power Cultivation, even a Supreme Soul Pet couldn’t withstand one move from the Silk Thread.
At the same time, Little Caterpillar’s own resistance to poison greatly increased—after all, it was a spirit pill, not an ordinary pill.
It took a whole day just to refine.
Little Caterpillar’s current condition:
Soul Power Cultivation: 1,130 years.
Soul Skill situation:
Silk Thread (S-grade, toxic + Art of Object Manipulation, could transform into five special types of silk using the five different Life Energies within its body)
Insect Net (advancing from Five Elements Insect Net)
Insect Sound (advancing toward Dragon’s Roar)
Insect Concealment (advancing from Insect Evaporation)
Spiral Flame Sphere (advancing toward Multiple Spiral Flame Sphere)
Blazing Charge (advancing toward Explosive Stomp)
Energy Bomb (advancing toward Time-Controlled Explosive Bullet)
Nature’s Power (about to advance)
Earth Spike, Whirlpool, Gentle Breeze (A-grade Proficiency Level)
Special Soul Skills included: Martial Spirit Armament, three modes (special mode under development)
Inheritance Soul Skill: Rebirth from Mortal Peril (B-grade), Hellfire (not learned yet)
Special forms: True Caterpillar Form (Dragon Shadow—bloodline not activated), True Dragon First Stage Form (Dragon Shadow—bloodline activated)
Special power: Five Elements Soul Essence (Flame Soul Essence condensing)
Many Soul Skills were advancing.
Some were starting to be developed.
For example, further mode transformation and advancement for Martial Spirit Armament.
Inheritance Soul Skills, especially Rebirth from Mortal Peril, had strict activation conditions—only usable when near death.
Otherwise, only through training in the Dream Space.
But even in the Dream Space, the proficiency level for this skill increased very slowly.
It could only be said, as expected of an Inheritance Soul Skill. As expected of the Dream Space.
Hellfire was learned along with Magnetic Sword in the Ancient Soul Beast Atlas after entering the Soul Illusion Realm trial before school started.
Well, it remained in a state where the brain understood it but couldn’t execute it.
In contrast, Magnetic Sword learned its Inheritance Soul Skill much faster.
The difference in comprehension between the two was visible to the naked eye.
Magnetic Sword’s situation was much simpler.
This kid persisted in swinging the sword a thousand times daily, comprehending the horizontal slash Wang Che taught it.
Swing it a hundred thousand times, and you’ll almost comprehend this sword slash.
Wang Che said so.
Additionally, Shadow-Splitting Sword recently reached the point where it could split into a third Sword Spirit Phantom.
Once Magnetic Sword could perfectly control it, it could learn Sword Formation.
It’s been two months since school started. Although most of the time was spent farming, their strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
It was time to go to Thunderous Soul Earth.
Wang Che took the two and headed again to Thunderous Soul Earth outside Raging River City.
