Chapter 448: Revealing the Truth, It’s a Former Million-Year Soul Beast!
Shen Minghai flew to the referee’s platform drenched.
Or rather, he had been brought up by the staff.
The power of his three soul pets was too strong, directly stunning him. Fortunately, a staff member saved Shen Minghai in time.
Otherwise, the situation would be hard to say.
The staff was a high-level Contract Soul Master who was in charge of dealing with some extremely complicated situations in the competition.
“This child is too pitiful.”
The staff member on the left glanced at Shen Minghai, “In his own martial soul, he was defeated by three soul pets. In so many years of the King’s Cup, this is the first time such a situation has happened.”
“This is my first time encountering it too,” another staff member said.
The two of them brought Shen Minghai to the referee’s platform.
At this moment, on the distant battlefield, the little caterpillar also flew out of the Nu River martial soul.
As for the three soul pets, they fell limply into the Nu River like tools.
The water energy in their bodies seemed to have been exhausted.
The little caterpillar flew out with a glowing face and returned to Wang Che’s side.
“Well done.”
Wang Che patted the little caterpillar’s head, “You used the move very timely and accurately.”
“Ssss!” The little caterpillar nodded in satisfaction.
The little guy was very proud.
Wang Che also felt pity for Shen Minghai.
It was fine if he did not use its martial soul, but once he did, it gave an opportunity to the little caterpillar.
It held back its move because it wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity to attack.
They did not expect Shen Minghai to really use it.
Divine power, Heavenly River Origin Water Bead.
As a divine power, once the Heavenly River Origin Water Bead was cultivated, there were a few abilities.
1: Water will form a sea and drown the ground.
2: Command the river and travel ten thousand miles.
3: Infiltrate everything and control all living beings.
…
A divine power cultivated with the Origin Water and was recorded in the Five Elements Profound Clarity Era Record was naturally not simple.
The little caterpillar had cultivated it before the Earth Fire Competition. Although the effect was low and the consumption was huge, it had been practicing, but the progress was not fast.
Now, it could barely unleash twenty to thirty percent of the effect of this divine power.
Of course, when used, it could not reach the feeling of true invincibility.
If it really cultivated it to the Greater Mastery realm, when using a divine power at the beginning, there was no need for any medium. Shen Minghai’s three water-type soul pets could not even use their moves before being controlled.
Instead of jumping into the Nu River released by Shen Minghai, the little caterpillar perfectly used this Heavenly River Origin Water Bead.
In the Nu River, the little caterpillar used the Heavenly River Origin Water Bead to order the surging river. It was fine if the three soul pets were not in the Nu River martial soul, but they happened to be among them. They were instantly controlled by the Heavenly River Origin Water Bead and used three soul skills to insta-kill Shen Minghai.
Of course, it was not a bad improvement for this little guy to be able to grasp the key point of the other party’s martial soul and charge in.
At the very least, it had an understanding of its own abilities. Divine powers were not only practiced but they could also be used at crucial moments in battle.
Normally, when fighting Bear Treasure and the others, it usually did not need this divine power.
This was because it was useless against the Magnetic Sword and Bear Treasure. On the contrary, the Capital Divine Fire Token was used quite a lot. That move was very powerful for attacks.
Unfortunately, the other party was a water-type soul pet and even had a martial soul related to water. Using the Capital Divine Fire Token might not have a good effect.
Moreover, the other party’s cultivation level was very high. The flesh of the Rain Demon Whale was extraordinary.
Even the entire Insect Rage Fire Lotus might not be able to hit it instantly. Instead, it was very easy to be counterattacked.
“You’re not as reckless as before.” Wang Che encouraged, “Let’s go and see your opponent.”
He brought the little caterpillar to the referee’s platform and discovered that Shen Minghai’s expression had returned to normal. His eyes were not blank, but calm.
It seemed that it had already recovered.
“I didn’t expect that I would only reach the top 16 this year.”
Shen Minghai sighed, “I actually lost in this way. Junior Wang, you embarrassed me! I’ll definitely be mocked when I go back.”
“This has nothing to do with me.”
Wang Che pointed at the little caterpillar, “I’m not the one fighting. It’s all its fault.”
“???” The little caterpillar.
Shen Minghai pinched his chin and sized up the bug, looking like he could not understand.
“So, this little bug is not only good at fire, but also water?” Shen Minghai thought for a moment, “A three attribute soul pet, right? In my martial soul, it can also control my soul pet to attack me. Is this some water overlord?”
“Why don’t you just call it the Water Heavenly Emperor?”
“Ssss!” The little caterpillar let out a cry, feeling that this name was actually not bad.
“Look at you. The King’s Cup is clearly held every year.” Shen Minghai looked up at the sky and said, “Why do you have to participate this year? You should at least lie low for a few years or participate in your second year. This way, I won’t be able to meet you.”
“It’s boring without powerful opponents like you,” Wang Che said. “If the opponent of the King’s Cup is too weak, it’s better not to participate.”
“I’m not interested in being the champion. I just want to meet some powerful opponents.”
“Listen, are these human words?” Shen Minghai pricked his ears and said to the referee.
“I don’t care if it’s human words or not. Take your number plate and leave quickly! The next match is about to begin.” The referee threw out two number plates and said bluntly.
The two of them took their number plates and left.
The next individual match quickly began, but clearly, the audience was still immersed in the previous match and did not regain their senses for a long time.
After returning, there were only three rounds left in the individual and team competitions.
At this point, the King’s Cup was already at its climax.
“The subsequent matches are a little difficult for Bear Treasure. If it goes on stage, it can only assist.”
Wang Che pondered.
Not to mention his martial soul, the rest basically all had ten-thousand-year soul pets. If there were more than four, their soul pets would have all sorts of abilities.
The difference in soul power cultivation was too great. Transcendent soul pets appeared frequently. They were all fourth-year geniuses of the top universities.
It was undoubtedly impossible for Bear Treasure to deal with a team of soul pets alone.
But if Wang Che’s soul pets attacked together, the opponent would not be able to put up a fight.
“Let’s use the Magnetic Sword to the end of the team competition. It doesn’t matter if we lose.”
“Let’s use the little caterpillar in the individual competition. If we lose, we can use this to teach it a lesson.”
Wang Che pondered and said, “If I encounter someone as strong as me, I can consider three soul pets attacking together. However, from the looks of it, there isn’t anyone like that. Oh, there does seem to be someone.”
He was also paying attention to the competition.
Ever since the King’s Cup began, Bear Treasure had been the most popular in the preliminary stage. As Bear Treasure’s Contract Soul Master, it was naturally very popular.
“Other than me, the others are not bad either.”
“Xu Xiu, this person is a disciple of a Heavenly King… I don’t know who he is, but he didn’t participate in the team competition.”
“Li Yunxiu, the number one person in the Battle Soul Academy. Her White Jade Dragon finished the individual and team preliminary stages.”
“Jian Wuhen, a sword user. His Sword Dao level is very high. H should be able to fight the Magnetic Sword back and forth. Unfortunately, he didn’t participate in the team competition. What a loner. Hmm… I think he eliminated Yang Quan today. Can this guy reach this step?”
Wang Che remembered Yang Quan quite clearly.
Back then, when he followed the Edgeless Heavenly King to the academy to challenge, he was defeated by the Magnetic Sword.
Later on, he heard that he went to the Battle Soul Academy to specialize and fought his way into the top 16 of the individual competition. Then, he was eliminated.
He was still in his second year. Currently, in the King’s Cup individual competition, there were only three second-year students, and Yang Quan was one of them.
Another second-year student was also eliminated.
The remaining one advanced to the top eight.
“Huang Ting, as a first-year student last year, entered the top four of the King’s Cup. He is the only second-year contestant this year.”
The top eight of this year’s individual competition could be said to have their own merits.
There were first, second, third, and fourth-year students.
“There seems to be someone even more mysterious than me.” Wang Che pondered, “Gu Ranshuang.”
The reason why this person was mysterious was that she was the only one who did not belong to a top university or a first-rate university.
She came from an unknown academy.
Other than that, she did not show her appearance. She wore an ice-blue mask that was like frost and an ice-blue combat suit. If not for her special long white hair, it would be difficult to tell if she was a man or a woman.
“So far, she hasn’t shown her martial soul.”
“The soul pet is a rare ice and devil dual attribute Ice Blade Dark Nightmare. It comes and goes without a trace and has very strong fighting strength. The second soul pet is a space-type Spatial Treasure. The third one has never appeared before and hasn’t participated in team battles.”
Wang Che recalled these opponents.
This was because the remaining opponents might become the little caterpillar’s opponents.
Naturally, he had to consider them.
“…I’ll definitely meet a few in the remaining three rounds.”
Wang Che had chosen these people to test the little caterpillar.
It was similar to Shen Minghai.
In the King’s Cup, even the Heavenly King’s disciples had failed.
In the team competition, there were also top universities that failed.
“Junior, we can’t understand the little bug’s soul skills anymore.”
After returning to the high platform where the academy was, Bai Xiaoluo and the others said with tears streaming down their faces, “We can still understand that thread, and we can also understand the flames. But how can it not suffer any damage in the opponent’s martial soul and still let his soul pets attack the Contract Soul Master?”
“That’s the Nu River martial soul! Shouldn’t the little bug be controlled by Shen Minghai?”
Wang Che smiled and nodded.
“That should be the case, but how huge is the Nu River? It connects the north and south of the North River Continent to the Chaotic Sea Continent. Is such a powerful force something a Contract Soul Master can control at this stage? Shen Minghai might not be able to control it after releasing his martial soul. Sometimes, when the power is too strong, other than dealing with the enemy, it might also cause a backlash.”
“You’re lying to us!” Bai Xiaoluo was speechless, “Little Luan, aren’t you angry that your brother was defeated just like that?”
“Sigh, who asked him to be useless?” Shen Mingluan shrugged and said helplessly, “As a sister, I’m also very troubled to have such a useless brother.”
“It’s true that siblings are brutal to each other,” Wang Ka said, “But to be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen a green caterpillar that can control fire and water. This little caterpillar can’t be the reincarnation of a million-year soul beast, right? Brother Wang, this is a huge opportunity for you.”
Wang Che: “…”
“Ssss!” The little caterpillar shouted. ‘That’s right, I’m a million-year soul beast!’
“I think so too.” Ludi touched the little caterpillar’s tail, “Look at this horn, this claw, these are clearly dragon horns and claws. How can a bug become a dragon? Reincarnation might not be the case. I think there’s a high chance that a million-year soul beast encountered a calamity and had to cultivate again. It had to hide in the body of a green caterpillar.”

“In fact, its soul and bloodline are definitely a powerful dragon-type soul beast! It’s just a green caterpillar on the outside!”
“It had to sign a contract with Junior Wang among so many green caterpillars before slowly awakening its abilities.”
“Otherwise, how could a Contract Soul Master nurture it?”
Wang Che: “…”
“Hey, hey, hey, the more you say, the more ridiculous it gets!” Bai Xiaoluo laughed. Then, she thought for a moment and said, “But it seems to make sense.”
“That’s what the story always says.” Wang Ka nodded, feeling that this guess was increasingly correct.
“If the little bug can win three more rounds, then it’s no longer a story.” Ludi also nodded seriously, “It’s definitely true. After all, it’s a former million-year soul beast. Even if it’s still hibernating, it definitely won’t allow itself to lose to other soul pets.”
“Do you still want the pride of a million-year soul beast?”
Wang Che also sighed and said, “I didn’t expect you to discover its deep secret.”
“Since you’ve discovered it, I won’t pretend anymore. I’ll lay my cards on the table. It’s the former million-year soul beast, the national soul beast, the reincarnation of the Emperor Azure Dragon, and the future Sky God Dragon!”
Wang Che pointed at the little caterpillar’s dragon horn and said, “Look, one of its dragon horns represents the power of the sky, and the other represents the power of the earth!”
“Look at these little claws. Not only do they have the heat of flames, but they also have the gentleness of water. They also have the life of grass and trees, as well as the majesty of a True Dragon. Look at the pattern of this body and tail. Those are historical traces forged by space and time. Look at this aura. That’s the peerless bearing of the Dragon Emperor!”
“When it reaches a million years, it will definitely become the peerless divine dragon that once soared through the universe!”
Everyone was speechless.
The little caterpillar shouted excitedly. ‘That’s right, that’s right!’
‘That’s it!’
“That’s enough! To be able to make a soul pet, a little bug, look like this, you make me think that you’re telling the truth.” Ludi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Wang Che was obviously just joking.
Hearing that, he felt that it was a joke.
The reincarnation of the Emperor Azure Dragon?
The Emperor Azure Dragon passed away many years ago. Even if it had a reincarnation, it had already grown up.
“Junior Wang…” Bai Xiaoluo looked at the excited little caterpillar and hesitated, “Don’t tell me you lied to it like this?”
“How can a Contract Soul Master’s training of a soul pet be called lying?” Wang Che waved his hand, “This is to establish its correct values and outlook on life.”
Everyone was speechless.
Good fellow, it was indeed the correct values.
