“That’s it?”
“The two of you were defeated by him?”
“Too weak!”
“To think that the two of you are the elites of my Star Glory High School.”
“You were actually defeated by a green caterpillar?”
The second round, the second day, on the viewing platform.
Zhou Yan and Chen He looked at each other and looked at the handsome youth who had a rather proud expression.
“That’s right, we were defeated by this green caterpillar.” Zhou Yan sighed, “We were all lacking a little! Eh, Boss Cui, let’s see if you can help our Star Glory High School regain its dignity.”
“That’s right, that’s right!” Chen He immediately agreed, “Boss Cui, don’t blame me for being nosy. This green caterpillar is very strong. Of course, with your soul pet, the chances of winning are definitely very high.”
“What a joke. I, Cui Ao, am one of the top students of Star Glory High School… How could I be defeated by a green caterpillar?”
Cui Ao waved his hand and flipped through the results on his communication device, “Good fellow, at the start of the second round, he lost two rounds. He didn’t even beat two second stage Rockback Pigs with more than 500 years of soul power cultivation. After the second round, this little bug isn’t a match anymore.”
“It can’t hold on anymore.”
“You’re right.” Zhou Yan nodded solemnly.
“You’re right.” Chen He also agreed.
“You two weaklings.” Cui Ao looked at the two of them disdainfully, “I’m really ashamed to be your classmates. Get lost, the competition is about to begin. When I return victorious, I’ll properly guide the two of you.”
“I’ll show you what a soul pet battle is.”
After speaking, Cui Ao brought his soul pet, a Flame Sparrow that had completed its third stage evolution and had a soul power cultivation of 680 years, and walked away with his head held high.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan and Chen He looked at each other.
They nodded tacitly.
“Cui Ao is too arrogant,” Zhou Yan said. “I wanted to remind him that the green caterpillar is not simple, but he actually mocked me. He’s so arrogant, I think the genius should be able to subdue him.”
“Me too.” Chen He shrugged, “I was kind enough to remind him, but this is worse than mocking me directly. You can’t blame us.”
“I saw the two matches yesterday. It’s obvious that he is still controlling the score. He’s too strong.”
“Not only is it strong, but it’s also ridiculously strong. Facing the Rockback Pig with more than 500 years of cultivation, he can still control points… Seriously.”
“Do you think we should wait at the soul pet recovery center or watch the competition?”
“Rubbish, of course I’m going to watch the competition. Cui Ao’s Flame Sparrow is a dual attribute flying and fire-type soul pet. Both are super effective against bug-types. Otherwise, Cui Ao wouldn’t be so arrogant. I want to see what the genius will do this time.”
“Although Cui Ao is a little arrogant, his strength is still very strong. It will definitely be an intense battle! I seem to have already seen Cui Ao fight intensely and ultimately be defeated by the genius… then we’ll go to the soul pet recovery center… understand?”
“I know, I know, I know. You old schemer… You tricked me like this back then.”
…
In the second round, in the eighth zone, on the stage.
After entering the second round, the number of battle stages had already decreased from 33 to 10.
Wang Che arrived at the platform of the eighth zone.
The surrounding audience increased!
“Hmm? Have your fans increased?”
Wang Che could not help but glance at the green caterpillar.
After the previous battle, the green caterpillar had already accumulated a large number of fans.
Of course, most of them were fans of Wang Che’s looks.
Many spectators were waving green caterpillar glow sticks and large fan cards.
They cheered for the soul pets and contestants they liked.
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar raised its head proudly.
Wang Che smiled and glanced at the competition information again.
“A dual attribute soul pet of flying and fire-type. Not bad, it completely counters you. It seems that in your first official performance, you’ll encounter a very powerful soul pet.”
Wang Che smiled.
Flame Sparrow, an extremely rare soul pet that was close to peerless.
At the third stage, it had completely evolved. Its species potential was not very high.
However, its actual battle was very strong. With the power of fire and flying, it could unleash flames in the sky. It was the nightmare of many soul pets.
The only thing it was afraid of were rock-type soul pets.
However, it could fly and was very fast.
As for most mountainous rock type soul pets, they were rather clumsy and unable to attack the Flame Sparrow in the sky.
Therefore… in the early stages, this soul pet was very strong.
Even against many peerless soul pets, it was not weak.
It couldn’t be helped. It was already amazing that it could fly in the early stages.
“Huh?”
The green caterpillar raised its head as if to say, ‘Do I look like I’m afraid?’
“Alright, go. Quickly end the battle.” Wang Che smiled and nodded.
At the venue.
“Green caterpillar! Green caterpillar!”
“I feel that the little bug can’t hold on anymore. Today’s opponent is too strong. All the best!”
“Eh, it’s the second round. I wonder how far the little bug can go…”
“Flame Sparrow, why is it such a problematic soul pet…”
“If we lose another match, there’s no hope of advancing in the second round.”
“…Our little bug is going on stage… No reason, I feel that it is different today…”
The atmosphere was very lively.
Cui Ao smiled and walked up the stage calmly.
“Go, Flame Sparrow.”
…
Today, the commentator for the eighth zone’s battle stage was a young man.
“The venue for this match is a normal stage.”
“All contestants, please greet each other and take your positions.”
The competition stage gradually rose. There was no special terrain.
The young commentator didn’t seem to have much to say and simply introduced the soul pets of both sides.
Cui Ao looked at his opponent and felt a little jealous.
‘There’s actually someone more handsome than me?’
‘It’s okay, my soul pet is stronger than him.’
The young commentator looked at the referee.
The referee nodded slightly and said, “Begin!”
As soon as he finished speaking…
“Flame Sparrow, fly into the air! Target the green caterpillar and use Flame Storm!” Cui Ao shouted and immediately ordered, “Don’t let it get close at a low altitude!”
At the same time, Wang Che ordered, “Use Spit Thread.”
Both sides ordered at the same time.
Yet, Zhou Yan and Chen He were first stunned before they could not help but curse, “F*ck, Cui Ao looks arrogant on the surface, but he’s actually very cautious! He definitely knows something… He directly used the most powerful soul skill, Flame Storm, of the Flame Sparrow!”
“This dog probably knows that we want to see him embarrass himself. He was pretending just now.”
The two of them could not help but sigh.
Cui Ao was a seeded contestant of Star Glory High School.
Glory Capital had many high schools, but every school’s seeded contestant was very strong.
They were not simple.
The Flame Storm was a powerful dual-attribute soul skill.
This dual attribute soul skill could only be learned by flying and fire-type soul pets.
The conditions were very harsh, so the power was naturally very strong.
The essence of the Flame Storm was a dual-attribute soul skill formed by the combination of the two soul skills, Flame Vortex and Gale.
It was definitely a powerful move that could be used as a trump card.
Cui Ao immediately made the Flame Sparrow fly into the air and used this move without giving it a chance.
It clearly wanted to beat the green caterpillar in one move.
At this moment, as Cui Ao ordered, the young commentator reacted quickly. Before the Flame Sparrow’s move was used, in two seconds, he finished explaining, “The Flame Storm is a dual attribute soul skill. In theory, it has an extremely powerful counter against bug type soul pets. The damage it can cause is four times the usual amount.”
“At the same time, the green caterpillar used Spit Thread. However, contestant Cui Ao is very cautious. The Flame Sparrow flew directly, so Spit Thread probably won’t be of much use… The Flame Storm covers a large area. Once it’s used, the green caterpillar will not be able to escape.”
“From my experience, if a normal green caterpillar is hit by this move, this match will end. However, everyone knows that this contestant’s green caterpillar is very powerful. Its physique is especially strong, so it might not directly lose its combat strength.”
He spat out a hundred words in two seconds.
He spoke very quickly.
The audience did not hear it.
The Flame Sparrow flew up like a javelin, creating a violent storm!
It flew dozens of meters into the sky at an astonishing speed.
A soul power cultivation of more than 600 years was very terrifying.
As it flew, its wings flickered with intense heat.
This was the prelude to the release of the Flame Storm.
As it flew into the sky, it brewed the Flame Storm.
However, at this moment.
Pew!
A white light shot out from below.
“Hmm, that is…”
This time, the young commentator did not even manage to react.
It was too fast!
That white light tore through the air!
The intense speed made a ringing sound in the air.
Almost at the moment when the Flame Sparrow’s wings were the brightest, this thing hit its wings!
“That’s Spit Thread! It’s Spit Thread! It’s so fast!”
The young commentator was shocked. He was really shocked, “I’ve never seen a Spit Thread that is so fast, so long, and so accurate. Moreover, the height of the Flame Sparrow is more than 60 meters!”
As a professional commentator, he had a certain understanding of both contestants in the arena.
He had seen the green caterpillar’s thread before.
But… it was never as strong as today!
All the audience were stunned because they did not even have time to look over.
The wings of the Flame Sparrow had already been stained by the thread.
Dual-attribute soul skills were very powerful.
However, they also had a weakness. The soul pet needed to fuse two types of life force so there was a period of preparation when using it.
The higher the proficiency, the shorter the time.
Only after reaching S-grade proficiency could it be close to instantaneous.
However, it was obvious that it was not that easy to achieve this proficiency with dual-attribute soul skills.
The thread wrapped around the Flame Sparrow’s wings and interrupted its casting.
The young commentator knew that it could be interrupted.
However, the Flame Sparrow took off very quickly. It was preparing the move during the process of taking off. The speed of release was already very fast.
It was impossible to interrupt with such precision…
Unless…
“It’s an attack prediction!”
The young commentator shouted, “Contestant Wang Che predicted the soul skill the Flame Sparrow would unleash! The green caterpillar’s thread was aimed at the air from the beginning! It determined the location where the Flame Sparrow would end up! What an exquisite judgment!”
When the audience heard this, they exclaimed.
Predicting an attack was equivalent to completely seeing through the opponent.
It was a psychological game!
Without extremely rich combat experience, Contract Soul Masters and soul pets could not do it!
At this moment, in the air, the powerful sticky threads covered the wings of the Flame Sparrow, making it difficult for it to fly or struggle free!
Cui Ao was also stunned.
He had already given his all against a green caterpillar, but he did not expect that he had underestimated it.
Not only did he underestimate the green caterpillar, but he also underestimated the other contestant.
“Pull it down and strike with your tail.” Wang Che said skillfully.
Even without Wang Che saying it, the green caterpillar, who already had rich combat experience without telepathy, had already started moving.
The green caterpillar bit the thread and was about to pull.
“Steady!”
At the crucial moment, Cui Ao suddenly shouted, “Use Ember to burn the thread!”
His reaction was also very fast.
It was just silk. He just had to burn it.
As long as the Flame Sparrow was still in the sky and not pulled down, the green caterpillar would not have a chance to hit it.
The Flame Sparrow immediately spat out a scorching flame.
Ember was the most basic soul skill of fire-type soul pets.
It was also the easiest move for all fire-type soul pets to master.
Scorching flames shot out of the Flame Sparrow’s mouth, instantly burning the thread.
When everyone saw this, they subconsciously sighed.
After all, it was super effective.
No matter how strong the thread was, to the flames, it would burn through in a second or two.
Yet…
Another unexpected scene occurred.
Under the intense flames, the tough thread was not directly burned off.
In the scorching flames, the thread remained powerful.
The Flame Sparrow was stunned, ‘My flames have no effect?’
The audience was stunned.
Cui Ao was also stunned.
The young commentator was also stunned.
“High temperature resistance…”
Cui Ao seemed to have thought of something, “Could its thread be resistant to high temperature? No… no… how could it…”
The green caterpillar’s thread could naturally withstand high temperatures.
The thread this time was different from normal.
