Chapter 94: Extra Reward, The Sword Sheath

Swords.

To Wang Che, they were all too familiar.

In his past life, the number of various swords Wang Che had handled was countless.

Swords of all levels, from the lowest mundane iron without any intelligence, to the highest Dao artifacts possessing sword spirits.

Wang Che had mastered them all.

In the art of sword mastery, Wang Che’s experience was already full.

Facing any sword, whether mundane iron or a Dao artifact, Wang Che could sense and connect with it.

The Magnetic Sword, though a Soul Pet, was still a sword.

In Wang Che’s experience, this was nothing special.

Even from Wang Che’s perspective, setting aside so-called Racial Potential, it was simply a sword that naturally possessed a sword spirit and could level up.

Its future achievements were boundless.

No matter what grade of Soul Pet it was, once it came into Wang Che’s hands, its potential was limitless.

At this moment.

From the moment their eyes met, countless reflections seemed to appear in Wang Che’s eyes.

That mysterious aura made the red Magnetic Sword very excited.

It felt like meeting a kindred spirit, instantly drawn to it.

But at the same time, it sensed something extraordinary, a noble authority that seemed to come from the depths of its soul.

It was deeply attracted, yet couldn’t help but reach out to touch it.

Was it the touch of fingertip to sword tip, or the communication of souls?

Fine red lightning threads flickered between the two.

“About three or four years of Spiritual Intelligence… truly a mischievous little fellow.”

Wang Che understood now.

“Bring the Soul Pet Treasure Box!”

Wang Che said.

The staff nearby snapped out of their daze and, like robots, handed the Treasure Box to Wang Che.

The Soul Pet Treasure Box wasn’t big, square-shaped with rounded corners.

It had a mechanical assembly structure, visible from the lines of its design.

On the top was the manufacturing icon of Dino Tech, colored in blue and white.

“A mustard seed space… similar to a storage artifact.”

Upon touching it, Wang Che sensed a little.

Wang Che opened the Treasure Box. Inside were many circuits, emitting a faint blue light.

Different Soul Pets had different needs for the Soul Pet Treasure Box.

The living environment created inside varied greatly for different types of Soul Pets.

Wang Che pointed to the Soul Pet Treasure Box with his other hand, his finger slightly moving, and said:

“Come inside here.”

The Magnetic Sword whooshed over, first flying around Wang Che, circling a few times, then landing next to the Green Caterpillar beside Wang Che.

The Green Caterpillar moved closer to Wang Che, eyeing the Magnetic Sword warily.

The Magnetic Sword then flew to the Soul Pet Treasure Box Wang Che pointed at, hesitating for a few seconds.

Then, under Professor Yan’s stunned gaze, it flew into the Soul Pet Treasure Box and settled inside.

Wang Che closed the Treasure Box.

The box wasn’t big, only the size of a palm, easy to carry around.

After it was closed.

The flickering lights on the first floor finally lit up steadily.

Many students, gradually recovering from their numb state, stood up.

“What just happened?”

“I saw it, I saw it!”

“A red Magnetic Sword! Aren’t Magnetic Swords only blue?”

“A mutated one? Wow… what a gesture! I didn’t expect the reward to be a mutated one!”

“That’s so awesome! That sword! This kind of Mechanical Soul Pet is just too cool!”

“…This Soul Pet seems very disobedient… Tsk… no wonder they gave it to Wang Che, good grief… I think I understand something…”

“Wang Che’s breeding rating must be pretty high. Look, that Magnetic Sword seems very obedient now.”

Now the many students were discussing.

Most of the boys had envy in their eyes.

Some also noticed something unusual.

After all, this Magnetic Sword had caused quite a commotion.

Clearly, the Heart Soul Pet Base hadn’t handled it well.

But in the end, everyone could see that Wang Che had still stabilized the situation.

He had steadied this Magnetic Sword.

On the stage.

“Professor Yan.”

Wang Che looked at Professor Yan.

Professor Yan had a somewhat awkward look in his eyes.

Then, Wang Che said: “I passed the test for the Magnetic Sword, right?”

Professor Yan was slightly startled. This kid really was something, just as Li Yanming said!

He immediately said: “Perfectly passed!”

Everyone suddenly understood, instantly realizing.

So that was a test just now?

“This Magnetic Sword is very… powerful. If we didn’t test you, we would have given you a different Soul Pet.”

Professor Yan coughed once and said seriously, “I didn’t expect you to pass so perfectly! Very good, very good!”

After speaking, Professor Yan pondered for a few seconds, then whispered to the research director beside him.

“Professor, that’s…” The research director was greatly surprised, but before he could finish, Professor Yan waved his hand to cut him off.

The research director had to leave.

The award ceremony was completed.

Many students left the Soul Pet Base one after another, ending a day that was somewhat nerve-wracking but ultimately thrilling.

Wang Che stroked the Soul Pet Treasure Box, seeming to feel the Magnetic Sword’s movements inside.

“I didn’t expect my second Soul Pet to be a sword.”

Wang Che sighed with emotion.

Even though he couldn’t practice Cultivation anymore, his connection with swords seemed not to have disappeared.

He was about to leave.

Then, that Professor Yan called out to him.

“Wang Che, come here for a moment.”

Professor Yan coughed.

“Professor Yan, is there something else?”

Wang Che said with a smile.

Professor Yan was holding a box that looked like a sword coffin.

Then he opened the box.

Inside was clearly an ancient sword sheath.

The surface of the sheath was plain and unadorned, colored a light black.

It wasn’t long, only three chi.

“This is an Ancient Soul-Guiding Artifact we obtained from a ruin in the Xiyue Continent, a specially made sword sheath.”

Professor Yan said, “This item is considered a treasure of our Research Base. If the Magnetic Sword wears this sheath for a long time, it can effectively increase its own Mechanical Energy and body strength. Because of the Magnetic Sword’s special origin, the various modern sword sheath Soul Guiding Devices don’t suit it well.”

“The compatibility is very poor. When you’ve raised the Magnetic Sword to a certain level, you can try placing it in this sheath. It should have a very good effect.”

Professor Yan sighed at this point: “You probably already know, the purpose of our event, besides being for the students, was indeed to find a suitable Soul Pact Master for this Magnetic Sword, to stabilize this little fellow. But because we’ve tried many times in other cities, we failed.”

“Reluctantly, we had no choice but to resort to this.”

“Understood.” Wang Che nodded.

Generally, mischievous Soul Pets weren’t really a problem for these researchers.

But some Soul Pets weren’t so easy to control.

This Magnetic Sword was a bit strange, and hard to control. If they couldn’t subdue it, they could only forcibly restrain it through the Soul Pet Treasure Box.

But that caused even more rebellious behavior.

It had probably been tormenting Professor Yan and the others for a while.

“Actually, we also thought…” Professor Yan said, “Even we researchers couldn’t tame it, so it would be even harder for you students. But Soul Pets and humans are just that mysterious. Different Soul Pets facing different people often lead to wondrous situations that science can’t explain.”

“Especially after signing the Life Soul Pact.”
