“Even if it can’t awaken on its own, there is the help of external forces! Why are you saying these things?” Mother Wang patted the green caterpillar’s head, “Look, this child is being nurtured so well. Although I’ve forgotten about the knowledge I learned back then, I know that if a soul pet is nurtured well, the higher the chances of the martial soul awakening and the higher the aptitude.”
The green caterpillar was eating the leaves.
On the side, the Magnetic Sword grunted as it stabbed the tip of the sword into a nuclear stone to absorb the energy within.
After a month, Father Wang and Mother Wang were obviously used to these two little guys.
After the green caterpillar finished eating the leaf, it was not satisfied and looked at the Magnetic Sword’s nuclear stone.
Its appetite was getting larger and larger. Since its cultivation level had increased, its appetite was naturally greater.
“Ssss…”
Sensing the green caterpillar’s gaze, the Magnetic Sword quickly absorbed the energy in the rock and handed it over to the green caterpillar.
The green caterpillar licked the nuclear stone and found that it did not taste good. It flicked it away with its tail in disdain and lay down to digest and absorb its food.
The two soul pets had been together for a month and already had some feelings for each other.
Although there was a huge difference in species, the communication between soul pets was the same.
The green caterpillar had repeatedly wanted the Magnetic Sword to recognize it as its boss because it felt that it was very strong and that the Magnetic Sword could not beat it.
However, the Magnetic Sword was not convinced because the green caterpillar could not fly.
‘You can’t fly, I can fly.’
‘Why should I let you be the boss?’
The green caterpillar was very angry, feeling that the Magnetic Sword was looking down on it.
So what if it could not fly?
‘My Spit Thread can fly too, okay!’
Although… it was only a short flight.
Later on, the two of them held a flying competition in the training room.
In the end, the Magnetic Sword won with a huge lead.
The green caterpillar was very discouraged and swore to Wang Che that it had to be able to fly.
Just like the green caterpillar in Wang Che’s fairy tale, it would one day be able to fly!
Wang Che was very pleased and encouraged it.
Slowly, although the two little guys got along well, they had some feelings for each other.
Of course, it was very superficial.
If they disagreed, they might just fight.
“Actually, I already sensed my martial soul last night.”
Wang Che smiled at Mother Wang and Father Wang, “Today’s comprehensive test shouldn’t be bad.”
“Really?” Father Wang was surprised, “That’s great, he’s indeed our son. As the saying goes, a double negative makes a positive.”
“Your mother and I didn’t awaken our martial souls. As expected, when it comes to you, it will definitely awaken.”
“Good, good, good! It doesn’t matter what grade it is, as long as it can awaken!”
Father Wang and Mother Wang were very happy and didn’t ask about the grade.
To them, it was a great thing that Wang Che could awaken his martial soul on his own.
Wang Che: “…”
What a good double negative…
After dinner, Wang Che bade farewell to Father Wang and Mother Wang and went to school to take the graduation examination…
Today’s school was especially lively.
The graduation comprehensive test was the first thing in the life of all students.
The comprehensive test was not complicated and could end in a day.
It was divided into three segments.
The basic subjects were worth 300 points. This included the general knowledge of humanities, history, general science, political structure, language classification, and so on.
The soul pet subjects were worth 150 points. This included many basic knowledge related to soul pets and the situation of training soul pets.
The martial soul subject, which was the martial soul awakening, was worth 300 points.
100 points was for the martial soul form test, 100 points was for the martial soul grade test, and 100 points was for the martial soul aptitude test.
The total score was 750.
It was not difficult to obtain high marks in the first two subjects.
Among the three major disciplines, only the grade of the martial soul subject could not be changed.
The martial soul form and martial soul aptitude could reach a higher score through hard work.
Therefore, for ordinary students, six hundred points was completely possible if they worked hard enough.
More than 600 points was relatively difficult and required talent.
The talent here referred to the grade of the martial soul.
This was the most impressive part.
This was because the grade of the martial soul was fixed.
However, the cutoff points for first-rate universities were all around 550.
A small number of top universities would require 600 points as the cutoff.
It was fine if the martial soul’s grade was low.
As long as one worked hard enough, it was possible for ordinary students to enter the top universities in the war zone.
“Students, today is the comprehensive test. Go to school for the test. You have to bring your examination card and your soul pets! Don’t leave your soul pets at home!”
“You have to be serious and careful when answering questions! For the basic subjects, as long as you listen carefully in class, it won’t be difficult to get more than 250 points. For the soul pet subjects, as long as you seriously train your soul pets, it won’t be difficult to get more than 120 points.”
“After the first two subjects are completed, we’ll gather at the field at three in the afternoon to undergo the martial soul awakening test. Not to mention the grade of the martial soul, it’s not difficult to obtain 150 points in terms of martial soul form sensing and martial soul aptitude. No matter how low the grade of the martial soul is, there are still 30 points given for the Ordinary grade.”
“If you score 550 points, you’ll be qualified to enter a top university in the Eastern War Zone. You can all do it.”
Teacher Zheng reminded the group.
Of course, Teacher Zheng said it easily…
“Yes, it’s not difficult at all. I just don’t have enough brains.”
“Can any of you awaken your martial souls on your own? I’ve seen several flashes of martial souls awakening every night these past two days. Sometimes, I can even see purple lights.”
“I saw a rainbow glow last night. What grade is that martial soul?”
“Eh, don’t even mention 550, I think 450 is too high.”
“450? I feel like I won’t even get 350!”
“F*ck, you guys are pretending again. Then I, Xu Haifeng, won’t pretend anymore. My score is close to zero.”
“…”
“Goddess Xi is back! I saw her just now. She’s also coming back to take the examination!”
“The examination will begin in an hour. Everyone, I’ll see you in the afternoon when your martial souls awaken!”
…
The group was very happy. Teacher Zheng smiled.
The estrangement between students and teachers in the present world was not that serious. Moreover, they had been educated well.
The usual teaching was naturally very strict, but in the group, he could still get along with many students.
He would often send emojis in the chat.
“Last night…”
Teacher Zheng brought the registration token with him and walked into the examination hall unhurriedly. He pondered and said, “There’s a rainbow-colored light… It’s especially dazzling. In the current Federation’s martial soul grade classification, there’s no such color… I wonder what new martial soul it is… and what grade it is…”
Many people had naturally seen the colorful light last night.
As a teacher, he naturally knew and thought more.
“It might be Wang Che…” Teacher Zheng suddenly thought.
He had privately asked about the martial souls of most of the students in the class.
Only Wang Che was tight-lipped and did not say anything.
The answer was always: ‘I’ve not sensed it’.
Of course, there was also the possibility of it being another person.
However, Teacher Zheng felt that his intuition was right. It was probably Wang Che.
For example, in order to obtain a more accurate score before the comprehensive test, in private, they would go and simulate the awakening. It was just that this cost some money.
The comprehensive test soon began.
The basic subjects were tested in written form.
To Wang Che, there was nothing much to say. He finished answering in less than an hour.
Comparatively speaking, the soul pet subject took slightly longer, because other than answering questions, one also had to test the soul pets trained.
Basically, those with a soul power cultivation of more than 300 years and had learned two soul skills could obtain a high score.
Together with the questions from earlier, the student would obtain a comprehensive score.
The green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation had already reached 600 years.
It would basically maintain three years of soul power cultivation every day.
Due to the fact that the Magnetic Sword was stabilizing its foundation, it had improved a little when cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture.
It had also steadily increased a little in these three weeks. Its soul power cultivation was currently only 240 years.
The test was only for the green caterpillar. The Magnetic Sword did not need to be tested.
The test for this subject naturally had no problems for Wang Che.
It was not a problem to get full marks.
Most of the students’ soul pets had a soul power cultivation of around 300 years.
Those with good aptitude and conditions were more than 400 years old.
There were only a handful who could achieve a soul power cultivation of 500 years.
There was only Wang Che’s green caterpillar that had reached 600 years.
After the two subjects were done, it was time for the martial soul test.
The score for the martial soul awakening test was real-time.
The scores of the first two disciplines still needed to be verified and calculated. It would take a few days to record everything.
After Wang Che rested for a while, he went to the field and waited quietly.
The martial soul awakening required special equipment and the professional Contract Soul Master examiner was present.
When Wang Che arrived at the field, it was already surrounded by many students and their soul pets.
Groups of people were arranged neatly. Most of them had excited and expectant expressions.
Some people had awakened their martial souls on their own in advance and already knew what their martial souls were. They thought that they could shine at the scene and awaken a powerful martial soul to show off to everyone, so they were naturally excited.
Being in the limelight would greatly satisfy the students’ vanity.
Many people even thought that when they awakened a powerful martial soul, the surrounding crowd would burst into cheers. Various envious and adoring gazes would sweep over from all directions.
The satisfaction would definitely be overwhelming.
They were all holding it in.
“Old Wang, have you sensed the martial soul’s form?”
Xu Haifeng had already finished the examination. His Hundred Flowers Beast had finally completed the third stage evolution a few days ago.
It became the Flower Fairy.
It was still half the height of a person as it followed Xu Haifeng.
A soul pet like the Flower Fairy was indeed very beautiful.
It had a half-human body. Its appearance was covered in a flowery coat decorated with many flowers. There was an elegant hat on its head. The hat seemed to be made of roses and was light red.
Its facial features were made of flowers and leaves. There was a cartoon face in the center. Its hands and feet were like the roots of plants. When it walked, it was very elegant and beautiful.
“It’s hard to say.” Wang Che asked, “What about you?”
“Me? My martial soul seems to have mutated..” Xu Haifeng chuckled, “Watch me show off later! Old Wang, I’m going to surpass you in terms of the martial soul this time.”
