The martial soul and soul power rank did not matter.
The important thing was naturally the soul pet information.
“Green caterpillar… Eh, its soul power rank is so high! 630 years. Good fellow, looks like my first opponent is not simple at all.”
As a top student, Zhou Yan noticed something strange with a single glance.
The green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation was too high and had yet to evolve.
For the green caterpillar to cultivate to such a high soul power cultivation, it was definitely trying to act weak and show off.
Otherwise, how could a normal person train it to such a high level?
Was he too rich?
Either that or it had mutated.
“Unfortunately, this is the Aviation Cup. Let’s go on stage and see if this green caterpillar has mutated.”
Zhou Yan snorted, “You’re thinking of the wrong place to show off. It seems that I am about to crush a student’s dream in the first round.”
“I’m too cruel.”
Soon, he arrived at the No. 23 battle zone.
“Contestants, please come on stage to prepare! For the first match of the Aviation Cup, I hope you can bring an exciting showdown to our No. 23 battle zone’s audience!”
On the edge of the different stations, there was a high platform.
On the left was the referee, and on the right was a beautiful female commentator.
At this moment, it was this young lady who was holding a colorful microphone and speaking.
Her voice was very loud.
However, there was no external noise at all. In fact, it was very beautiful, like pleasant music.
Clearly, this was not something an ordinary microphone or other broadcasting device could do, especially since there was no loudspeaker around.
The voice could reach the entire battlefield.
It was a martial soul.
Her martial soul was the Rainbow Microphone. There were soul wings on her back, the wings of the Hundred Spirit Bird.
The Hundred Spirit Bird was a beautiful and moving flying-type soul pet. Its own fighting strength was low, but its voice had powerful strength. It could boost life and heal the soul.
Coupled with her martial soul, her voice had improved even more perfectly.
“Professional.”
Wang Che, who walked up the stage, nodded. This was indeed much more professional than the Enlightenment Cup.
There were even explanations and they were all casual Contract Soul Masters with martial souls.
Casual Contract Soul Masters usually engaged in various industries.
The contestant went on stage. Wang Che looked at his opponent and many information appeared in his mind.
Zhou Yan, Lighter Martial Soul, Level 2 soul power.
His soul pet was a 350 year second stage rare soul pet, Fire Spike Rat.
The information was very interesting.
One had to know that the opponents were distributed by the Internet system.
It was distributed according to the basic information of both parties.
In short, in the system, the green caterpillar that did not evolve after 630 years was about the same as the Fire Spike Rat that had evolved in the second stage after 350 years.
Due to the difference in species potential, the increase in the Fire Spike Rat’s soul power cultivation in a year was roughly equivalent to the increase in the green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation in two years.
Coupled with the suppression of attributes and the estimation of later training, the 630-year-old green caterpillar was on par with the Fire Spike Rat.
This was how the system calculated and analyzed it.
The distribution of opponents also followed this principle.
In fact, this was what most people felt.
In theory, the opponents assigned to the first round were mostly evenly matched.
Of course, there would also be one strong and one weak. For example, some people’s soul pets had high soul power cultivation and grade.
The system thought that it was too strong and could not find someone who was on par with it.
Then they could only distribute it accordingly.
If he encountered it, he could only blame his bad luck.
Of course, in theory, this was the distribution. In fact…
“Very good, the contestants on both sides are very energetic! In the first round, you have to work hard!”
The female commentator should have already known about the battle. She immediately explained, “On the left is a Fire Spike Rat. This is a powerful soul pet. The temperature of the flames on its body is very high. Although its soul power cultivation isn’t high, its actual fighting strength isn’t weak!”
“On the right, mm, it’s a cute green caterpillar. Its soul power cultivation is very high, so it looks like it’s not simple either! Hmm! It’s very energetic. It’s currently using its tail to scratch its head!”
“The competition is about to begin. Everyone, please clap and encourage them!”
Clap~ Clap~ Clap~
The audience began to cheer with their hands.
The audience was mostly students of various grades, as well as working adults who had come with dreams and had taken leave. The teachers of the various schools… were chatting in a mess, but their eyes were lit up with anticipation!
There were many people.
Many people were looking forward to the first match.
Even if it was not exciting, he had to see something new.
“Green caterpillar, cheer up!” Wang Che said, “Don’t be so sloppy. You have to show your opponent some respect!”
The green caterpillar barely stood up.
The first match was based on the opponent’s information.
Wang Che did not use telepathy to fight. He temporarily cut off the green caterpillar’s telepathy with his divine sense.
They only used spoken command to fight.
Telepathy was a very important trump card.
Of course it had to be kept secret.
One could not use a butcher’s knife to deal with an ant.
Wang Che had experienced competitions too many times.
In the previous world, sects competed in various sizes, regional life and death battles, and so on.
In order to win the competition, the most important thing was to preserve your strength. The more trump cards you had, the more stable and far-reaching you would be.
Everyone understood the logic. It depended on who was in control of each match.
Of course, it also required a little luck.
Otherwise, if he were to meet an opponent that was too strong, he could only flip open his trump card.
Another situation was that if one was powerful enough, they felt that they could crush all their opponents.
At this moment, they could choose not to hold back.
After all, no one could beat him in the competition.
Wang Che rarely encountered such situations.
There should be many geniuses in the West Peak Continent that could not be underestimated.
On the other side, Zhou Yan sized up the green caterpillar seriously.
The green caterpillar still did not change much. When wearing the mechanical meteorite armor for the first time, it would record the soul pet’s size, preventing it from growing as its soul power cultivation increased.
If it took it off, it would become its original size.
After wearing it, it would return to its original size when it first wore the armor.
“There’s no mutation. Its size is wrong. It should have been installed with a soul device to change its size or learned some soul device that can change its shape. Hmm… nothing special. If it’s not mutated, then it’s a normal green caterpillar.”
“He really has a gold mine at home. He spent so much effort raising a green caterpillar to this level.”
Zhou Yan analyzed it briefly and felt that it was an assured win.
It was simple. He would beat it with a soul skill.
“Begin!”
The referee gave the order!
“Fire Needle!”
Zhou Yan said calmly, “Finish it!”
As everyone knew, fire was strong against bugs.
Fire Needle was a fire attribute soul pet’s hundred year soul skill.
It wasn’t a core skill, just an ordinary soul skill. However, not all fire soul pets could learn it.
The 1.2-meter tall Fire Spike Rat did not say a word when it heard the order.
Its body suddenly shook, and countless flames spread out from its back before spinning!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Countless flaming spikes shot out from its back!
Like a rain forest of bullets, it landed on the green caterpillar in the distance!
It looked very handsome and very strong!
The soul pet’s soul skill sequence was related to the soul pet’s physical form in all aspects.
For example, although this Fire Needle was an ordinary soul skill, many fire soul pets could not use it.
“Good! What a good fire needle! Not only is the scorching fire needle incomparably sharp, the temperature is also very high and the range is very wide! I believe that even the steel plate can be blasted through! The little bug is in danger! If this move hits, it will probably be beaten!”
The commentator reacted very quickly.
She seemed to have expected this the moment it used it.
Waves of cheers erupted.
A soul pet’s soul skill was just cool!
A hundred year soul pet was even more so.
The Fire Spike Rat’s cultivation was definitely not high.
There were more than ten people in Wang Che’s class at this level.
In Glory City, it should only be at a more ordinary level.
Soul power cultivation could not display all of a soul pet’s strength.
However, the soul skill used could.
As soon as this Fire Needle was released, everyone could see its proficiency was very high!
“Not bad.”
Wang Che nodded. The proficiency of a soul skill required a long time to refine. Otherwise, no matter how high the soul power cultivation was, if the proficiency did not increase, the power would still increase very slowly.
The students of Glory City placed a lot of emphasis on actual combat strength.
Back then, He Zhenfeng’s Lightning Roaring Tiger’s cultivation wasn’t high. After four hundred years, even without relying on its martial soul, it could definitely defeat many soul pets of the same cultivation level.
At this moment, the green caterpillar wanted to dodge.
“You’re not allowed to dodge. Are you afraid of this fire needle?”
Wang Che ordered, “Your skin is thick and your flesh is resistant. Don’t always think of avoiding it. If you withstand it appropriately, it can increase your resistance to attacks and the fire resistance of your skin.”
Green caterpillar: ヽ(ー _ ー) ノ
Under the unscrupulous Contract Soul Master’s orders, the green caterpillar could only stand where it was.
“The little bug didn’t choose to dodge! Did it give up?! Come on, little bug!”
The commentator was stunned. She was a Contract Soul Master and had probably heard the order.
She could not say it out loud.
“Hmph!”
Zhou Yan laughed, feeling that the other party was too reliant on the green caterpillar’s cultivation.
For a soul pet like the green caterpillar, even if it was 600 years old, no matter how hard it cultivated, its body would only be that strong.
Although it would not directly lose its combat strength after getting hit with the Fire Needle, this move was super effective!
Next, it was basically a bug waiting to be slaughtered!
“Charge over and use Fire Fist!”
Zhou Yan said unhurriedly, “If it still has combat strength, beat it instantly!”
The Fire Spike Rat immediately rushed over when it heard this. Its running limbs were burning with flames as if it was brewing a powerful soul skill…
However, at this moment!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Countless fire needles landed on the green caterpillar.
They actually made a soft sound like they had touched a steel plate.
Then, they landed around the green caterpillar.
The audience was shocked.
Was this green caterpillar made of steel?
“This, this, this…”
The female commentator was also surprised.
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar let out a cry.
It seemed to be in pain.
“The green caterpillar let out a painful cry. It seems that it suffered some injuries from this move…”
The female commentator hurriedly explained, “But its defense is very strong! It must have undergone special training! Other students who cultivate green caterpillars, don’t learn from this!”
Zhou Yan was also stunned.
Was the green caterpillar’s skin that thick?
It was so fast and the temperature was so high, but it could not break through the green caterpillar’s defense?
In fact, after Wang Che applied the Marrow Cleansing Paste on the green caterpillar in the Floating Forest, coupled with the extremely stable training and powerful soul power cultivation, he had also used the Metal Devouring Art on the green caterpillar to devour the stone that contained the fire aura from the Floating Forest.
Its current defense and resistance to flames were very strong.
Even the Raging Flame Strike that should have had side effects was completely useless against the green caterpillar.
The restraint of flames on the green caterpillar was already very small.
Of course, this Fire Needle alone was not enough.
Even a core fire soul skill unleashed by someone of the same cultivation base could not instantly defeat the green caterpillar.
“Alright, stop screeching!” Wang Che ordered again, “Now, take advantage of the needles on the ground to use your Spit Thread. Do you know what to do?”
The green caterpillar looked at the charging Fire Spike Rat and immediately turned its little head.
It understood!
“The little bug is about to counterattack! Let’s see what soul skill the green caterpillar will use to counterattack. Very good, it’s using its mouth to suck up the fire needles on the ground! Hmm? What does it want to do?”
“Oh, oh, oh!” The next moment, the female commentator exclaimed!
