Chapter 416: Post-Puberty Little Caterpillar
“They’re out, they’re out!”
Shen Mingluan pointed at the door.
Even if there were many soul pets, they felt that they were already more familiar with Wang Che’s soul pets.
They almost immediately found the three figures among the beasts.
“Eh, Wang Che, why does the little bug seem a little different?”
Suddenly, Shen Mingluan said.
“This doesn’t seem just a little different. Could it have evolved?”
Bai Xiaoluo said in a daze, “The little bug in my memory doesn’t seem to be like this, right? Is this puberty? That’s not right, doesn’t the green caterpillar grow bigger? How can it still grow like this?”
“Indeed.” Wang Ka also stared into the distance, “It’s under puberty, right? It shouldn’t be far from evolution, but doesn’t the green caterpillar evolve into a Green Nether Butterfly? Normally, before evolution, it will at most grow into a cocoon. What’s happening to it?”
Ludi looked at Wang Ka in shock.
…
“You actually think that’s a green caterpillar?”
“…” Wang Ka.
“Eh, it seems to be a little different from the green caterpillar.”
In the distance.
Wang Che looked at the little caterpillar that crawled out arrogantly and frowned slightly.
The little caterpillar was still wearing the mechanical meteorite armor. It was much larger than before, but strangely, it looked a little different.
The antennas on its head had grown long and turned into coral-like red horns, looking much more awe-inspiring.
Its eyes were bright and it raised its head arrogantly.
Its body was still green, but there were some strange energy patterns that looked ancient.
The pair of small meat buns also grew small claws, and its tail had more fur.
“This is… puberty?”
Wang Che was stunned.
With the bloodline of the Sky God Dragon, the little caterpillar naturally would not develop according to the growth of insects.
When it grew to a certain stage and its cultivation was sufficient, it might evolve.
However, the growth stage was definitely long. This was because dragons had a very long growth period. It took an extremely long time for them to completely grow and develop.
Even if it was nurtured by humans, the Sky God Dragon had the bloodline of a True Dragon. The potential contained in it was not so easily developed.
No matter how fast it was nurtured, it could not evolve in a few years.
Wang Che asked the little caterpillar to train more. Other than becoming stronger, he still wanted to stimulate its potential faster so that it could evolve faster.
However, ever since it obtained the bloodline of the Sky God Dragon, the little caterpillar’s growth speed was actually very slow. Although its cultivation level had always been increasing, its maturity and development had not changed much.
The evolution from a bug to a dragon could not be done in a single step.
The fusion of bloodlines definitely had a development process.
For example, when a koi evolved into a White Jade Dragon, it had to grow and develop first. It had to evolve into a Little White Dragon without even scales. Only then would it grow and develop, accumulate cultivation, and finally evolve into a White Jade Dragon.
Seeing that the little caterpillar had grown, it meant that… it was very close to its first evolution.
Then, Wang Che sensed it and fell silent.
“How was it, how was it?”
Shen Mingluan asked, “Have there been any changes in other aspects? What about its cultivation? Does it have a soul skill? Why is its aura so strong… Its cultivation should have increased greatly, right?”
“At a conservative estimate, it gained 800 years of cultivation at least.” Bai Xiaoluo had a serious expression, “In three days, its cultivation has improved by 800 years, but it can still develop like this. What will this little bug evolve into?”
“I feel like I don’t dare to look at it.” Wang Ka’s face frowned, “I’m actually afraid of a little caterpillar.”
“My understanding tells me that it’s a bug,” Ludi said, “but this little bug in front of me tells me that it’s not just a bug…”
“Ssss!” The little caterpillar walked valiantly to Wang Che and shouted.
The voice was very awe-inspiring and did not change much.
Wang Che raised it with his hand and looked around. He took a deep breath.
“2,500 years…”
Wang Che whispered, “What natural treasure did you eat in the Myriad Beast Mountain?”
When the little caterpillar first entered the Myriad Beast Mountain, Wang Che knew its cultivation very well. It was more than 4,500 years.
But now, it had a cultivation of seven thousand years.
Even if the Time Flow Great Sage could change time and create a suitable cultivation environment for soul pets, or even reach a ratio of ten to one with the outside world, cultivating inside for three months,
this increase was too exaggerated.
‘This growth…’ Could it be that the True Dragon bloodline in its body had been greatly developed?
“Wait, this soul skill…”
Suddenly, Wang Che sensed that the little caterpillar seemed to have gained a very special soul skill.
Ancestral Worm Sacred Power: After death, transform into a cocoon to stimulate the potential in the body. After breaking out of the cocoon and reviving, it will greatly increase all aspects of its abilities. The stronger the potential and the more times it breaks out of the cocoon, the higher the increase after breaking out. It has already broken out of the cocoon once and can’t transform into a cocoon again in a short period of time.
“Where did this soul skill come from?” Wang Che searched his memories and found nothing.
It was naturally the soul skill of those ancient soul beasts.
However, wasn’t this move a little abnormal?
Turning into a cocoon after death meant that it was exempted from death?
After breaking out of the cocoon and reviving, it would directly increase all abilities. The stronger the potential, the higher the ability after breaking out of the cocoon.
Wang Che knew at a glance that this was definitely an extremely exaggerated ability.
Even if it had no potential, as long as it died a thousand times, it could gradually become stronger.
Moreover, there was no limit to the number of times it could be used. There was only a cooldown time.
Especially since soul beasts had a long lifespan and this soul skill…
‘With the little caterpillar’s potential… it’s definitely an absurd combination…’
‘Moreover, the little caterpillar still has the Near Death Eruption… After dying, it erupted with immense power and can even counterattack. It’s not even afraid of being interrupted. What ancient soul beast’s soul skill is this?’
The more Wang Che thought about it, the more speechless he felt.
Good fellow, he did not expect such a powerful soul skill to appear after three days of training.
After some thought, Wang Che felt that it might be related to the Time Flow Great Sage and the others.
Such a powerful soul skill was definitely not something a soul beast could casually release.
Moreover, it was so suitable for the little caterpillar.
Its True Dragon bloodline required a long time to slowly develop. With this move…
Wang Che looked at the little caterpillar and pondered.
“It seems that your future training will be doubled.”
“…” The little caterpillar.
As if it could sense Wang Che’s thoughts, the little caterpillar shrunk its body and jumped down from Wang Che’s hand, shouting.
At this moment, hearing Wang Che say ‘2,500 years’, the other four wondered if they had heard wrongly.
“2,500 years?” Shen Mingluan’s eyes widened, “It increased by 2,500 years? It was 4,500 years before, which means 7,000 years now…”
“Holy f*ck, only fourth-year students in our school have soul pets with this cultivation, right?” Wang Ka was speechless, “Moreover, there is only a handful.”
“It surpassed my Pulse Moon Blade just like that?” Bai Xiaoluo touched her Pulse Moon Blade.
It was only 6,500 years old, but she was already in her third year!
“Is this a cultivation technique?” Ludi looked envious, “With such an exaggerated increase in cultivation, I can’t think of any fortuitous encounters in just three days of cultivation.”
“I feel that this little bug might be able to defeat us without using a soul skill.” Wang Ka spoke his true feelings.
A man’s senses were always very accurate.
With Wang Che’s current perception of the little caterpillar, it was probably… possible. Perhaps it could really do it without using a soul skill.
The Ancestral Worm Sacred Power had transformed the caterpillar into a cocoon once. While its cultivation had greatly increased, its strength had also increased in all aspects.
If soul pets had numerical combat strength, Wang Che felt that it would have doubled.
He did not know the details as he had not tested it before.
In fact… Wang Che suspected that it might not even be able to break through the little caterpillar’s defense.
The reason was simple. The potential stimulation of the Ancestral Worm Sacred Power was not just the True Dragon bloodline.
Wang Che let the little caterpillar cultivate the Nature Visualization Method. The five types of soul essence cultivated could increase the little caterpillar’s physical strength to a certain extent, but this was a long process.
As for cultivation techniques, they all emphasized gradual progress and long history, especially since this was the supreme technique of the Dao Sect.
Therefore, there would not be any exaggerated changes in a few months after cultivating these five great soul essences. However, in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years, the changes brought by this were very terrifying.
According to the rules of this world, these five soul essences could also increase the little caterpillar’s growth potential.
Grass gave life, water provided fluidity, earth was heavy, wind produced speed, and fire was explosive.
They could all increase the corresponding abilities.
Especially since these five soul essences all had special powers.
For example, the fire soul essence already had four flames… Hmm, wait, why did it seem like there was a fifth one?
Wang Che was carefully sensing it when he suddenly discovered that the little caterpillar did not just have the Ancestral Worm Sacred Power in its body.
Moreover, this flame was actually stronger than the other flames!
‘Wait, it doesn’t seem to be just fire soul essence…’
The more he sensed, the more surprised Wang Che was.
This was because he discovered that the flying soul essence… also had an extremely powerful energy.
“This Ancestral Worm Sacred Power is closely related to life and has fused with the grass soul essence… These five great soul essences all have special powers now…”
Wang Che was a little stunned.
He did not expect this little guy to grow so much after going out?
It was only three days…
“How did the Time Flow Great Sage and the others let the little caterpillar cultivate…”
Wang Che shook his head and went back to ask the little caterpillar about its encounter.
After sensing it, Wang Che coughed and looked at the others.
“It’s actually fine. It has been cultivating steadily. Perhaps it encountered some fortuitous encounter… and its potential erupted.”
“Accumulated potential?” Wang Ka scratched his head, “A first-year student like you raised the green caterpillar to more than four thousand years? You call it accumulation? Steady cultivation? You’re redefining potential, right?”
“Only the little caterpillar is like this…” Wang Che smiled and said, “The other two should be fine… Eh…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Magnetic Sword flew over and circled Wang Che.
“Ssss!”
The Magnetic Sword was very excited.
Its blade would draw a red electric arc from time to time, as if it had returned to the initial state.
But it was very different now.
“Three thousand years…” Wang Che muttered.
The four of them: “…”
