On the fourth day of the second round, the battle was still intense.
This was because at this stage, basically all contestants with ambitions would consciously begin to collect information on their opponents.
They studied the previous matches of each opponent.
After all, the contestants who survived to the fourth day of the second round had already experienced more than ten battles.
What could be exposed had already been exposed.
Lin Xi arrived at the opposite platform of the eighth zone early.
Of course, she was not here to compete.
It was to watch another person compete.
“Sister Xi, are you interested in watching the competition today?”
As soon as he sat down, a voice came from afar.
A handsome youth walked over.
The soul pet beside him was extremely large. It was a Lightning Roaring Tiger.
It emitted a strong aura as if there were faint lightning in the air, making people feel numb when they approached.
“Little Feng?” Lin Xi glanced at him and nodded, “I was competing in the afternoon and happened to pass by to take a look.”
When the Feathered Spirit Snake heard this, it looked at its Contract Soul Master strangely.
‘I didn’t expect my Contract Soul Master to lie too. She clearly came on purpose!’
He Zhenfeng did not say anything. He walked over and chuckled.
“Sister Xi, it seems that you’re still a little upset about the Enlightenment Cup in Skyheart City. You’ve been looking for a chance to defeat Wang Che, right?”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t be bothered to watch other people’s matches.”
Lin Xi smiled slightly. She did not panic at all after being exposed like this.
She continued, “Little Feng, I remember that you’ve already joined the club for some time, right? According to the rules of the past, before joining the Blazing Sun Club, you need the protection of the club’s Contract Soul Masters to enter the Soul Earth for a competition trial. You can only continue staying in the club after passing.”
“I see that you’re very strong. You should be able to complete this competition trial alone. After the competition ends, I’ll suggest to the club that you don’t need the protection of the Contract Soul Master to complete the competition trial alone.”
He Zhenfeng’s expression immediately changed as he cried, “Don’t, don’t, don’t! Sister Xi, I was wrong. With your magnanimity, why would you care about the so-called victory? You saw Wang Che’s potential and happened to pass by today to take a look.”
What a joke. As a student, how would he go to the Soul Earth Competition for training without the protection of the Contract Soul Masters accompanying him?
Wasn’t that courting death?
Lin Xi nodded as if she was very familiar with this young man. She continued, “You have a high level of awareness… However, I’m very narrow-minded. Who do you think will win today’s competition? After the competition ends, if you’re right, I’ll consider it.”
Upon hearing this, He Zhenfeng smiled.
The two of them were very familiar with each other. They were both from the same club and were just joking.
“It’s hard to say.”
He Zhenfeng pondered and said, “Jiang Shuo is a seeded player of Glory City’s Jade Forest High School. Although his Nether Violent Snake King is only at an extremely rare level, in the forest terrain, it can unleash strength that isn’t inferior to a peerless soul pet. Jade Forest High is originally good at cultivating grass-type soul pets. The Nether Violent Snake King is also a grass-type soul pet with extremely offensive and powerful strength.”
“Not to mention the forest terrain, even if it was the ordinary terrain, it’s hard to say if my Lightning Roaring Tiger would be able to fight it.”
“Moreover, the Nether Violent Snake King has its own unique species soul skill. It’s very difficult to deal with.”
Seeded contestants were naturally popular contestants in the Aviation Cup’s top 16.
The Lightning Roaring Tiger was a third stage peerless soul pet.
The training of both parties was on the same starting line. The Lightning Roaring Tiger was stronger than the Nether Violent Snake King in all aspects.
“The most important thing is the martial soul.”
He Zhenfeng continued, “Jiang Shuo’s martial soul is very extraordinary. His martial soul is the Mad Demon Flute.”
“Mad Demon Flute?”
Lin Xi nodded, “I know that. This martial soul is said to be very powerful in the ancient era. Although it’s only a Superb quality martial soul, it was very outstanding on the battlefield…”
“That’s right. This martial soul has a huge effect on soul pets.”
He Zhenfeng said, “It’s not like your Mythical martial soul, Sister Xi. In just a few weeks, martial souls below the Legacy grade can materialize and be used. Then, they can have a good effect in the Aviation Cup.”
The Aviation Cup was set a week after the martial soul awakened.
Actually, this was also part of the consideration.
Martial souls above Legacy grade were very strong. Once used, they would definitely have a huge effect on soul pets, especially the Mythical grade martial soul.
It was definitely an overpowered effect.
Others had no chance at all, so what was the point of fighting?
However, the martial soul had just awakened for a week. It was difficult for a Legacy grade martial soul or above to complete the materialization or be used for possession.
This way, it would not have a huge impact on the competition.
Ordinary, Outstanding, and Superb grade martial souls were relatively easier to materialize and possess.
However, their strength was not very high. Even if they materialized and possessed the body, it would not have a bug-like effect.
It was within an acceptable range in terms of power.
At the same time, they could also feel the effects of the martial soul in the competition.
After entering the university, they would grow in all aspects. They would also participate in group competitions. Although Legacy grade martial souls and above were very strong, for most competitions, they would not have such a crazy effect.
Of course, in the later stages, martial souls with extremely high grades would eventually become stronger and stronger.
However, at that time, most of the students’ stage would be wider.
They would encounter even more powerful martial souls.
“Are you saying that you think Wang Che will lose?” Lin Xi asked.
“If he only uses the green caterpillar, he’ll probably lose.”
He Zhenfeng smiled and said, “He has been crushing his opponents in the past few days, but at the same time, the green caterpillar’s strength has almost been exposed. Both sides know what’s going on.”
However, He Zhenfeng knew that Wang Che had another soul pet.
“Nonsense! Student Wang Che won’t lose!”
Before Lin Xi could speak, a nervous retort came from the side.
He Zhenfeng turned around and saw a skinny youth and the soul pets beside him.
It was a Cowardly Lizard in its half evolved state.
“It’s you?”
He Zhenfeng laughed, “Zhao Yixia, why? Are you a fan now?”
Lin Xi also glanced at the skinny youth, her gaze landing on the Cowardly Lizard beside him.
With her knowledge, she could naturally tell that this Cowardly Lizard had already completed the most important step in evolving to become a Flying Lizard.
It grew wings.
It was not far from complete evolution.
‘That match…’
Lin Xi’s gaze froze. She had seen Wang Che and Zhao Yixia’s match.
To the other contestants and audience, that match was very strange and shocking.
She knew that these students were not the ones who discussed the competition the most.
It was the scholars and professors from the West Peak Continent’s soul pet research base.
However, due to the competition, they could not invite the two of them to communicate.
Otherwise, Wang Che and Zhao Yixia would have been invited to the West Peak Continent’s soul pet research base to discuss after the competition ended.
“That’s not important!”
Zhao Yixia looked at He Zhenfeng, “Student Wang Che’s green caterpillar will definitely not lose.”
They were classmates in the same school.
“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t argue with a brainless person like you.”
He Zhenfeng waved his hand, “Let’s just look at the results. Hmm, the competition has just begun.”
Battle competition, eighth zone.
Wang Che brought the green caterpillar onto the stage.
After a few days of crushing victory, the green caterpillar’s popularity had already surpassed Wang Che’s.
Other than Wang Che’s classmates, the audience was packed.
Fine.
In this world, the passion for soul pets was indeed higher than looks.
The little guy was very proud.
Now, in terms of the popularity of every match and the number of spectators, the little bug was definitely first!
This was because there was only one green caterpillar in the second round of the Aviation Cup!
A green caterpillar could reach this stage and crush powerful opponents in every match?
‘You dare to believe that?’
Just this gimmick was enough to attract countless spectators and cause countless topics.
The media of this world was far from as unscrupulous as the ones on Earth.
Even if it was a real-time report, it was enough to shock countless people!
At the same time, the green caterpillar represented a belief.
The belief of defeating the strong as the weak!
Of course, most of the audience knew that this green caterpillar was definitely not an ordinary green caterpillar.
Not everyone could nurture such a powerful green caterpillar.
However, this did not stop them from thinking that way.
“We have to end this match quickly.” Wang Che said.
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar crawled up confidently.
“Today’s venue, forest terrain.”
“The contestants of both sides, please greet each other and get into position!”
A middle-aged commentator slowly spoke in a low and deep voice.
The battle stage began to rapidly change.
In a beginner-level comprehensive battle, the terrain would only change at a beginner-level.
First, the surface of the ground began to transform into countless grasslands. Then, as the mechanism spun, countless dense trees began to rise from the ground!
Almost instantly, trees around 20 meters tall covered the entire place.
In the undulating forest, it was difficult to see clearly.
However, there were many miniature cameras hidden in the tree.
The situation in the forest could be clearly seen on the big screen.
However, there were many images. With dozens of images all around, everyone could see where the battle would take place.
At this moment, they needed the staff backstage to observe dozens of images in time. Then, they would immediately cut into one and enlarge it. They would choose it with high light and not miss any details of the battle!
Otherwise, with such forest terrain, the audience would not be able to see the battle inside.
“Please let your soul pets enter the forest.” The commentator continued.
Wang Che glanced at the Nether Violent Snake King.
It was familiar.
On the way to the Floating Forest, he encountered a Nether Forest Snake that was more than 400 years old.
That Nether Forest Snake was the Ghost Disciple Xue Batian’s third soul pet. It had probably not been trained for long and only had a soul power cultivation of 400 years.
Now, this Nether Violent Snake King had completed its second stage evolution. It was also the opponent’s first soul pet and had been trained very well.
With a soul power cultivation of 680 years, its size was close to 16 meters.
The Nether Forest Snake was a medium-sized soul pet.
This soul pet was more than a meter long and grew very quickly.
Without a soul ring, humans would need to wear a soul device that could change their size to train it.
Otherwise, even with a soul power cultivation of more than a hundred years, it would be impossible to bring it home.
Only by wearing a soul pet that could change its size, cultivating a Soul Guiding Skill that could change its form, or learning a soul skill that could change its form could it be cultivated normally.
There were many ways.
It was also rather violent and difficult to nurture.
However, its combat strength was definitely top-notch.
The Nether Violent Snake King opposite was clearly born with a soul device.
Before entering the forest territory, it was only a meter long. After entering the forest, its size was like that of an Ultraman transformation. It quickly returned to its original state and became a huge monster more than ten meters tall!
A change in size could naturally affect a soul pet’s fighting strength.
Especially the larger the change in size, the greater the effect!
Medium-sized soul pets were relatively rare for most of the audience.
The size of the Nether Violent Snake King shocked countless spectators!
After all, most students’ soul pets were small or even miniature in the early stages.
For example, green caterpillars were miniature soul pets.
The impact of that scene made countless spectators feel a chill.
They could not help but worry for the green caterpillar.
