“Let’s begin. We’ll begin the first test. The test of physical strength, strength, speed, and physique. For the sake of a more accurate test, if the green caterpillar has a soul device, you’d better choose to take it off.”
“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t take it off. However, it will affect the various data of the green caterpillar and its physical strength will decrease.”
Wang Che did not choose to take it off.
The green caterpillar was already used to handling the mechanical meteorite armor.
Wang Che wanted to see how far the green caterpillar could go with the mechanical meteorite armor.
This test was similar to the one in the club.
However, it was more precise.
The first thing he had to test was the soul power cultivation.
This step was very simple. It was the same as when he stood on the soul power detector when school started.
The difference was that the one in school was a hundred-year detector.
This was a thousand-year detector.
It tested the soul power level within a thousand years.
Because every year a soul pet’s soul power cultivation increased, the Contract Soul Master would sense it, so they knew the detailed soul power cultivation.
However, that was during the elementary stages.
Towards the later part, after thousands of years, with every increase, the Contract Soul Master might not be able to remember the specific soul power cultivation base.
They would only remember a rough number.
The green caterpillar stood on top of the soul power detector.
This time, it was not a golden light, but a light purple light.
Each slot represented a hundred years of soul power cultivation.
There were more than five bars.
Soul power cultivation: 510 years.
“What a high soul power cultivation!”
“Let alone an ordinary green caterpillar… even if an extremely rare soul pet was seriously nurtured, it wouldn’t be much higher than this, right?”
“Can students nowadays even raise green caterpillars so well?”
“There’s a soul pet base specially built to cultivate green caterpillars in the Clear Capital War Zone. It seems that it’s only at this level in half a year…”
Many staff exclaimed.
“Everyone, quieten down! You think I’m joking with you all for being able to win the Enlightenment Cup with a green caterpillar?”
The research director who spoke to Wang Che immediately shouted, “Hurry up and prepare for the next step.”
Next was the usual test of strength, speed, and physique.
The green caterpillar performed very well.
It was so outstanding that many staff members doubted their lives.
They looked at the grade displayed on the data.
Good fellow, comprehensive grade: A
“It’s ridiculous. This data…”
“It doesn’t make sense! It doesn’t make sense!”
“This is the legendary genius breeder.”
“With the green caterpillar’s species potential, its 510 year soul power cultivation and physical strength can be combined to reach the A rank. Even an extremely rare soul pet can’t reach it without extremely hard training.”
“Especially its speed and strength, they have both reached the level of [A+]. Its physique and defense are slightly weaker, only at [B+], but it’s still abnormal enough.”
…
“Look, I was right!”
The research director sighed, “Professor, your perception is really good…”
“Professor’s perception?” Wang Che sharply heard this.
“Oh, it’s Professor Yan. He said that in this test, as the champion of the Enlightenment Cup, you should be able to achieve a very outstanding result. He asked us to pay extra attention,” the director immediately said.
“I see… no wonder you’re so enthusiastic about me.” Wang Che thought about it and realized that it was Professor Yan.
The green caterpillar had this effect before it took off the mechanical meteorite armor.
Wang Che felt that it was still within his expectations.
After removing it, it should be able to reach the grade of S.
It had lived up to his expectations.
“Then, let’s move on to the next one.”
The research team leader became even more enthusiastic, “For the proficiency of soul pet techniques, if you let your soul pet display the soul skills you want to know, we can test your grade in detail.”
Wang Che nodded and let the green caterpillar use the two moves, Rumbling Tail Strike and Spit Thread.
As his two trump cards, Wang Che knew everything about the Raging Flame Strike and the Energy Bomb. He did not intend to test them.
In this world, Martial Soul Armament was a self-created soul skill. Wang Che would not test it.
Near Death Eruption had yet to be learned.
It had not learned Insect Concealment and Insect Voice for long, so there was no point in testing them either.
There were only Spit Thread and Rumbling Tail Strike. These were the two moves with the highest proficiency for the green caterpillar.
The test results were out very quickly.
The proficiency of both moves was extremely high.
Spit Thread had even already reached [S] grade.
“An S-grade Spit Thread is something that many green caterpillars with a soul power cultivation base of a thousand years can’t do. Not only does the green caterpillar’s thread have powerful control, but it also has a certain level of offensive power.”
The research director sighed, “An S-grade proficiency means that it’s already the highest. You’ve trained very well. This is the first soul skill with an S-grade proficiency I’ve seen today, especially when it’s among the students.”
“Are there any higher grades?” Wang Che asked.
The green caterpillar’s thread was a normal thread.
It was different from the previous Spit Thread competition where two types of life force had been fused.
“There are. With a higher proficiency than the S-grade, the move will have a chance of advancing to a core soul skill and producing special effects… However, it’s rather difficult and often requires some special cultivation methods.”
“After becoming a core soul skill, it will be a new soul skill entirely. You can report to any soul pet research base. The proficiency level can be customized by yourself. At the same time, you have to apply for the patent of this core soul skill as soon as possible. You can also announce the cultivation method for this core soul skill.”
“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t announce it.”
“If it’s announced, future Contract Soul Masters can purchase this cultivation method. You can obtain the money earned.”
“Therefore, studying new soul skills is very meaningful and has many benefits.”
“Of course, this is very difficult for you students.”
This research director was very conservative.
He did not elaborate further.
However, Wang Che was not surprised that an ordinary soul skill would have a special effect after advancing to a core soul skill.
Moreover, after advancing, it would be a new soul skill.
It was indeed not bad.
‘Spit Thread can also advance in the future. Then, I can’t ignore the Rumbling Tail Strike…’
Wang Che thought to himself.
The proficiency of Rumbling Tail Strike was slightly lower.
It was only at the A+ grade, but it was still very terrifying.
“There are many soul pets that can use Rumbling Tail Strike. Just in this room, there are at least a hundred soul pets that can use Rumbling Tail Strike… Most of them are only at the C-grade, while a small portion are at the B-grade. Very few can reach the A-grade.”
The higher the proficiency of a soul skill, the stronger the power and the stronger the effect.
The testing process required testing the green caterpillar’s tail attack to estimate the maximum and minimum level of force.
Then, there were detailed tests on the range, size, and control of the tail attack.
In Wang Che’s opinion, they were quite professional.
It was very efficient.
“The last test is the soul contract test.”
The research team leader said, “The detection of the life contract mainly tests three aspects: soul pet’s intelligence, intimacy, and telepathy.”
“First of all, intelligence.”
The test of intelligence was not difficult.
He only needed to take out some intelligence questions and test the green caterpillar.
“What level of intelligence do you think it has?” The research director asked first.
“About ten years old.”
Soon, the other staff brought a bunch of questions suited for ten-year-olds.
The answer was very simple.
There were a total of 20 questions. If it answered them correctly, its intelligence would be about ten years old.
The green caterpillar answered all nineteen questions correctly.
Only the last one, which was a very simple question, was wrong.
Here’s the question:
The soul pet with the same type as the King-ranked soul pet, the Cloud Sky Dragon, was the following:
1. Green Caterpillar.
2. Demonic Lightning Dragon.
3. Star Moon Fox.
The green caterpillar chose 1 without hesitation.
All the researchers were stunned.
How could it be wrong?
Especially since the green caterpillar had a proud expression after choosing.
Wang Che: “…”
The researchers in the room were silent…
