Chapter 45: Wilderness Soul Earth

After tidying up the packages, Wang Che developed a plan in his mind to train the green caterpillar.

However, there was no hurry. After the Enlightenment Cup, there would be a long period of training until he graduated.

Four to five months were enough to complete the next step of the training plan.

Three days of fighting made the green caterpillar experience the joy of soul pet fighting.

It was also full of enthusiasm for training.

It could not feel the glory of being the champion now. However, the feeling of defeating an opponent was often the source of the soul pet’s own motivation to become stronger.

This driving force would make them desire to become stronger.

There was naturally a reason why soul pets were so popular in the current world.

After a good sleep, Wang Che brought the green caterpillar to school.

However, because it wore the mechanical meteorite armor, the green caterpillar could not adapt even after trying the entire night. It followed Wang Che weakly…

The surrounding classmates’ excitement gradually dissipated and they began to study normally.

Even if he was the champion, it did not matter to them.

They still had to study and train as usual.

The students in the same class were holding a review of the battle of the Enlightenment Cup.

“There’s no need to train for the time being. I will review all your performances first.”

Teacher Zheng’s first lesson in the morning was the same as many other Year Three teachers.

It was just like how one had to explain the answers after the examination papers were distributed.

“Because there were many battles in the three days, I will focus on a few matches. The first match will be Student Wang Che’s. He used the bug-type caterpillar to fight the flying-type in the zone finals.”

On the training ground of the field, Teacher Zheng spoke frankly and confidently, “This is a very typical disadvantaged battle. But not only did he win, he also kept it very short. Everyone, do you know the most important reason?”

“I know! The green caterpillar’s Spit Thread is too powerful!”

“No.”

“I still think the green caterpillar is too strong…”

“Of course not.”

“Did the opponent underestimate the enemy?”

“Not really.”

“Teacher, I know! It’s Wang Che who’s too handsome! It caused that Spike Gull’s fighting strength to go down! This b*stard’s charm can affect soul pets! My Hundred Flowers Beast wanted him to hug it the first time it saw him.”

“…Get lost!”

“It’s because the other party shouldn’t have used the soul skill, Gust, first.”

“That’s right.”

Teacher Zheng nodded, “Gust has a very good effect on soul pets with soul power cultivation levels lower than oneself. However, the effect on soul pets higher than oneself is not obvious. Moreover, the power of Gust depends on the height of flight. In order to maximize the power, the Spike Gull dropped to a certain height, giving the green caterpillar a chance to defeat it.”

“That Spike Gull had a second soul skill, Feather Needle. If it can directly attack in the air, it can open up a range in the sky and throw down the feathers to carry out a wide-area attack. Even if the hit rate is very low, once it hits, no matter how strong the green caterpillar is, there would be a great effect.”

“That contestant was too anxious. She wanted to defeat the green caterpillar as soon as possible, but Wang Che seized the opportunity and used the other party’s mistake in judgment of the Spit Thread Soul Skill to beat her in one move…”

Everyone nodded and felt that it made sense.

Wang Che did not deny that the girl really wanted to beat him quickly.

Otherwise, she would not have lost so quickly herself.

“Alright, I’ll tell you about the last battle later. It is the most interesting. Within the confines of the Enlightenment Cup, that classic battle has an extremely interesting tactical aspect. Take a look at the recording first.”

Teacher Zheng waved his hand, “Wang Che, follow me. I have something to tell you.”

Wang Che nodded and followed Teacher Zheng to a quiet empty space.

“The last reward for the Enlightenment Cup is an exploration training in the wilderness, leaving the city.”

Teacher Zheng’s expression suddenly became serious, “However, you definitely don’t understand the wilderness. There’s not much information about it on the Internet.”

Wang Che pondered for a moment.

There was some information about the wilderness on the Internet.

Generally speaking, there were many good things in the wilderness, as well as wild soul pets and so on.

However…

“In fact, the wilderness is extremely dangerous,” Teacher Zheng paused. “Your life will be in danger.”

Wang Che looked surprised.

“I know that there are seven major war zones under the federation. But why are they called war zones and not country zones?” Teacher Zheng said indifferently, “The reason is very simple. These zones were often engulfed in wars. Of course, people who live in war zones now naturally won’t experience war.”

“Coupled with the fact that it is much more stable now than it was a thousand years ago, the world is peaceful and stable for most ordinary people.”

“But outside the war zone, it’s quite dangerous.”

Teacher Zheng thought for a few seconds and continued, “For the detailed history, there should be an explanation given by the guards when you leave for the wilderness. I won’t say much.”

“What I want to say is that the wilderness you’re going to is probably the Floating Forest, 800 miles away from Skyheart City.”

“That’s a small-scale Soul Earth with relatively stable space in the West Peak Continent…”

“Is that place very dangerous?” Wang Che asked.

“It’s very dangerous,” Teacher Zheng paused. “You study very well and know a lot about soul beasts. However, when I say dangerous, other than the location, I mean people too.”

Wang Che nodded slightly.

“Generally, those who go out into the wilderness to explore are mostly professional Contract Soul Masters. Either that or they’re those who were allowed to enter the wilderness’ Soul Earth after entering university.”

“I’ll tell you one thing now: If you encounter creatures with black eyes and blood tattoos on their bodies in the wilderness, don’t worry about the others and just escape for your life.”

“Also…”

Teacher Zheng opened his palm. There was a pattern engraved on the communication device.

The pattern was very interesting. It was two beast claws tearing apart a heart.

“If you see a person with this pattern on their body, or a soul beast, run away immediately! In addition, you must be extremely careful of those who you travel with. The law of the Federation is only effective in war zones. The Wilderness Soul Earth outside the war zones is lawless.”

“So, do you understand?”

“Of course, you should have the protection of experts during the trip. You don’t have to be too afraid when the time comes.”

Teacher Zheng spoke very seriously.

Wang Che nodded thoughtfully.

“Alright, go back. You’ll gradually learn these things when you go to university.”

Teacher Zheng smiled. “However, because you’ve won the championship and have to go out into the wilderness to broaden your horizons, I wanted to tell you some of these things in advance. Also, you don’t have to tell the other students about these things.”

“They will naturally learn about it if they are able to reach greater heights in the future. If they don’t, knowing these things will be a burden to them.”

“Before you go into the wilderness, don’t fall behind in your training. Your green caterpillar’s cultivation is very different from others. Its future achievements will be high. However, what surprised me was that you could actually develop a new soul skill… in terms of nurturing soul pets, your talent is limitless.”

Teacher Zheng looked at Wang Che in relief, “However, I can tell that your new soul skill should still have many areas that can be improved upon. Work hard and never slack off! Calculating the time, someone should fetch you to the Wilderness Soul Earth in about two months.”

Teacher Zheng’s eyes were indeed sharp.

The green caterpillar’s Soul Armor Haki could indeed improve in many aspects.

It could not be considered a true ‘Martial Soul Armament’ for now.

“Wilderness Soul Earth… Floating Forest…”

Wang Che pondered. Perhaps he could finally see the other side of this world.

In the next two months, the green caterpillar had to first adapt to the mechanical meteorite armor and break through to a hundred years of soul power cultivation.

Secondly, it was best to learn Raging Flame Strike.

Another thing was to raise the Soul Armor Haki to another level.

In two months, when he returned from the wilderness, he would awaken his martial soul and take the graduation examination.
