“This match should be very interesting…”
He Zhenfeng looked at the center of the arena attentively.
‘The waves of cheers gradually dissipated, because the contestants from both sides had already arrived.
Today’s commentator was the middle-aged commentator.
“The contestants of both sides, come on stage. The terrain that is randomly chosen is the grassland terrain.”
“Both sides’ soul pets enter the arena and wait.”
The middle-aged commentator’s voice was steady. He did not say anything, not even explaining the contestant’s information.
Because everyone present knew.
‘The platform rose. Lin Xi and Wang Che stood on the platform and watched.
The terrain of the grassland below gradually appeared.
The grassland terrain was rather advantageous for insects and grass-type soul pets.
It was a pretty good terrain for the Feathered Spirit Snake and the green caterpillar.
Both sides had the advantage.
It would depend on how it performed.
‘Wang Che stood on the stage and looked at Lin Xi.
Her face was still the same and she had a smile on her face.
‘The Feathered Spirit Snake was still very arrogant. It glared at the green caterpillar and leaped down the platform.
On the ears of the Feathered Spirit Snake, there was a pair of small wings that could fly at a low altitude.
It was impossible to fly high in the sky. It had to evolve to the Emperor Pride Snake and have the flying-type attribute to fly high in the sky.
“Go, take off the mechanical meteorite armor first.”
‘Wang Che looked at the green caterpillar, “That Feathered Spirit Snake is your old rival.”
‘There were rules in the competition. Before the competition, one could not unleash any soul skills in advance.
Soul skills could only be cast after the competition began.
However, the mechanical meteorite armor was a soul device. There were no rules in the Aviation Cup on whether it could take it off or not.
‘The Feathered Spirit Snake was very strong, so it had to be respected. It was best to take it off early and temporarily return to its original form.
At this moment, its strength and speed were perfect.
‘The green caterpillar immediately took off the mechanical meteorite armor and entered a combat stance before jumping off the high platform.
It seemed to have recalled the scene of the Enlightenment Cup.
Hmm, this snake was indeed very strong!
“Both sides’ soul pets are in position. The competition can begin!”
The middle-aged commentator glanced at the referee.
‘There was a loud bang and the match began!
‘The terrain of the grassland was basically no different from the real grassland.
‘The Feathered Spirit Snake and the green caterpillar were both small-sized soul pets.
On the grassland, stepping on the dense green grass had a natural concealment effect.
‘At the same time, grass and bug-type soul pets would have a slight increase in strength on the grassland.
For example, the green caterpillar liked the terrain of the grassland very much. Its combat strength was slightly stronger on the grassland.
From a scientific point of view, it was that when these two attributes’ soul pets were on the grassland, their soul power was slightly more active than usual.
The soul skill used would also be slightly stronger.
Of course, this bonus was very limited.
But at the crucial moment, it was very fatal.
At the same time, some grass-type soul pets had strange effects on the grassland!
‘As soon as the battle began, Lin Xi casually gestured.
In the next moment, the Feathered Spirit Snake seemed to have understood something through the soul contract.
It used its whip-like tail to stab into the grass.
Inan instant, a strong life force came from the grassland.
From the sky, there seemed to be a green life force fluctuation that moved towards the entire grassland with the Feathered Spirit Snake’s tail as the center!
Because Lin Xi did not say the name of any soul skill, the tacit understanding between her and the Feathered Spirit Snake was incomparable.
Clearly, the soul contract between the two had also reached an extremely high level and had been specially trained.
It also did not need any commands to achieve tacit combat!
This training technique was different from when the Mad Demon Flute martial soul played a different flute. The Nether Violent Snake King would execute different attacks with the same result.
It must have been tempered through countless training!
“Ingrain.” At this moment, the middle-aged commentator calmly said, “This is the grass-type hundred year core soul skill, Ingrain! Through Ingrain, a grass-type soul pet can absorb endless life force from the ground! This is an extremely difficult move to learn and is also one of the most core soul skills
of grass-type soul pets.”
“Once this move succeeds, if the green caterpillar wants to defeat the Feathered Spirit Snake, it will have to destroy the entire grassland.”
“The green caterpillar has attacked. A lightning-like thread swept towards the Feathered Spirit Snake.”
“It clearly wants to stop the Feathered Spirit Snake from successfully casting it. Otherwise, it will be at a huge disadvantage!”
‘Wang Che naturally saw that it was the Ingrain soul skill.
Why could grass-type suppress ground-type?
Putting everything else aside, just this move was enough to subdue it.
It could absorb the life force of the earth.
Especially the grass and trees.
If it was any other terrain, the power of Ingrain would not be so strong. It was very ordinary.
‘The grass terrain was different. The ground contained abundant grass life force.
Lin Xi had never used this move before. From the second to third round, Lin Xi had only encountered grass terrain three times.
Her opponent was not qualified to make her use this move.
Moreover, this move had to be used first.
At this moment, this was the furthest distance between the two.
If it was released after the battle started, it would be too obvious. The opponent would not give it a chance.
Once it successfully cast it first, the Feathered Spirit Snake could be said to be invincible!
“The Feathered Spirit Snake’s soul skill sequence doesn’t have this soul skill. This move can only be seen on rare plant soul pets… either that or it’s a soul skill secret carving that’s worth a huge sum…”
‘Wang Che shook his head.
Not all grass-type soul pets had such a powerful move.
The Feathered Spirit Snake naturally should not know this move. However, with Lin Xi’s resources, it was not impossible to obtain the soul skill secret carving.
‘The green caterpillar shot out threads from afar.
It could not be helped. As soon as they entered the terrain, the two sides were very far away.
With the green caterpillar’s current proficiency in spitting silk, only this move was the fastest and did not have any delay in casting. It could be used instantly to stop the other party.
Even the Spiral Flame Ball needed some time to condense.
Moreover, even after condensing it, the Feathered Spirit Snake could not dodge. It could only take root on the spot and be hit.
However, at that time, Ingrain would definitely be completed. As long as the Spiral Flame Ball could not beat the Feathered Spirit Snake in one move, the Feathered Spirit Snake could quickly recover by absorbing the energy.
It was useless.
The key moves could only be used at the crucial moment.
Spit Thread was definitely the best move to interrupt it!
Yet
Lin Xi seemed to have expected this and gestured again.
‘The Feathered Spirit Snake reacted extremely quickly.
Without hesitation, it extended a small hand that looked like a green sleeve and waved it.
Inan instant, a green whip was released from under its hand!
It swung at the bug thread that was like steel!
Thud!
‘When the two touched, the originally incomparably firm thread was immediately blocked by the green whip!
Acrisp sound was heard.
The thread was actually cut off and softened!
“Grass Rope, a grass-type hundred-year core soul skill.”
‘Wang Che was a little surprised.
‘The Grass Rope was the soul skill that Wang Che had thought could be formed by combining the green caterpillar’s threads with grass-type life force.
Similar to the Fire Whip, it was an advancement of Spit Thread. Its power was naturally much stronger.
It was just that experimenting on this soul skill was too wasteful in terms of time.
‘That was why Wang Che had taught it Fireball a few days ago.
Of course, what surprised Wang Che was not the Grass Rope.
Instead, it was that the Feathered Spirit Snake could actually use Grass Rope at this moment!
“Grass Rope! When the Feathered Spirit Snake is taking root, it can even use Grass Rope to block the green caterpillar’s thread! Impressive, this is a very powerful multitasking ability. I didn’t expect the Feathered Spirit Snake to learn such a powerful combat technique at this age!”
‘The middle-aged commentator was stunned for a second before quickly reacting, “As everyone knows, when our soul pets unleash a soul skill, it’s very difficult to unleash a second soul skill at the same time. Only after releasing the first soul skill can it unleash the second.”
“But in reality, after high-intensity training, soul pets can simultaneously use two non-conflicting soul skills!”
“This ability can be learned by every soul pet. However, it has to undergo extremely difficult long-term training! The difficulty is so high that to soul pets below the thousand-year soul power cultivation, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”
After the commentator said that, the audience understood.
In just this short exchange, the audience could tell that the situation on Wang Che’s side was not good.
‘The middle-aged commentator was very good at analysis.
‘This was also what Wang Che was surprised about.
To be honest, even the green caterpillar could not learn this ability.
‘The reason why he did not teach the green caterpillar was that training this move was too time-wasting.
If it did not succeed, it was equivalent to failing to use both soul skills. It was equivalent to not having any proficiency.
It was basically a waste.
Therefore, it was better to increase the power and proficiency of individual soul skills in the early stages.
It would not be too late to learn this ability when the green caterpillar was stronger and more mature.
If Lin Xi could learn it, it must be the result of special training.
‘Wang Che did not know what kind of training she had undergone.
The Spit Thread was interrupted, but the power of the Grass Rope did not decrease as it charged at the green caterpillar.
Grass Rope was a powerful control soul skill.
After binding the enemy, it could also restrain the enemy and cause sustained damage.
It was a very practical core soul skill.
‘At the same time, the Grass Rope was very tough. Opponents of any size, as long as there was no huge difference in soul power cultivation, would find it very difficult to break free.
‘The Grass Rope attacked, and the green caterpillar was in danger.
Not only did it fail to interrupt the Feathered Spirit Snake’s Ingrain soul skill, but it was also about to be trapped by the Grass Rope.
“Use Spit Thread to wrap around the Grass Rope and tie a knot.”
“Pull it over!” At this moment, Wang Che gave a very important order.
The green caterpillar understood.
It spat out silk again.
This time, its target was not the Feathered Spirit Snake, but the Grass Rope.
‘The green caterpillar spat out a thread and immediately wrapped around the Grass Rope that was only a few meters away.
Then, with a gentle flick of the corner of its mouth, the bug thread immediately tied a knot on the grass!
It stopped the Grass Rope.
At the same time, it spat out a thread that wrapped around the Grass Rope and tied another knot!
Then, it pulled!
The distant Feathered Spirit Snake was shocked. Its tail that was rooted in the ground was almost pulled out.
Brilliant! Student Wang Che once again used an eye-catching technique to resolve this crisis! Spit Thread directly wrapped around the Grass Rope and tied it into a knot, indirectly pulling the Feathered Spirit Snake over. This way, it can interrupt the Feathered Spirit Snake’s casting! Through the
previous competition, we saw that the green caterpillars strength was very strong. Once the Feathered Spirit Snake is pulled out, the casting of Ingrain will fail!”
“However, the Feathered Spirit Snake is stronger in terms of soul power cultivation and aptitude. The strength it unleashes might not be smaller than the green caterpillar.”
‘The middle-aged commentator could not help but cheer.
‘The audience was very nervous.
Lin Xi’s hand gesture sank.
The Feathered Spirit Snake shook the ground. It did not choose to compete with the green caterpillar in terms of strength and was about to be pulled out.
Instead, it broke the Grass Rope with both hands!
The Grass Rope was cast with its own life force.
Once it was broken, it meant that it could not be released for the time being.
“Contestant Lin Xi was extremely decisive and did not choose to waste time competing with the green caterpillar!”
“The Feathered Spirit Snake directly tore off the Grass Rope! I have to say, this is a very decisive choice. The Grass Rope is a core soul skill and is very special. It is connected to a soul pet and has life force! Once it’s torn off, in a short period of time, or even in this battle, the Feathered Spirit Snake will
probably be unable to use this move again.”
‘The middle-aged man explained, “Under Student Wang Che’s ingenious resolution, Contestant Lin Xi’s Feathered Spirit Snake had no choice but to cut off the burden. It lost the powerful soul skill, Grass Rope.”
“But in exchange…”
“Hiss!”
At this point, the Feathered Spirit Snake in the distance suddenly let out a violent cry!
In an instant, the power of the earth began to gather. The Feathered Spirit Snake’s entire body seemed to emit a faint glow. Its skin seemed to be filled with a crystalline luster, as if it had entered a special state.
At the same time, any movement in the grassland was completely under its control!
“In exchange, Ingrain was successfully cast!” The middle-aged commentator said slowly.
After successfully taking root, the Feathered Spirit Snake became one with the terrain, making it invincible.
The green caterpillar did not only have to deal with the Feathered Spirit Snake, but also the power of this grassland!
In an instant, the green caterpillar fell into an extreme disadvantage!
