Chapter 47: 50 Fewer Years of Hard Work
“The Raging Flame Strike is an attribute soul skill that requires one to master a special life force.”
“Different types of soul pets have different types of life force. For example, grass, rock, fire, or water… the attribute life force of each soul pet varies…”
“If you want to learn the Raging Flame Strike, you need fire attribute life force.”
In the past month, after completely adapting to the mechanical meteorite armor, the green caterpillar’s mood gradually became better.
Especially during the pain of the first half a month, Wang Che had to comfort it every day.
Otherwise, this little guy might not have been able to persist.
In the next half a month, its condition slowly warmed up, together with its soul power cultivation that had broken through a hundred years, the green caterpillar’s mood immediately reached its peak.
Under this condition, learning soul skills should have twice the result with half the effort.
However, on the first day it started learning the Raging Flame Strike, it encountered a huge problem.
The use of the soul skill secret carving was not difficult.
First, he had to feed the soul pet the corresponding gene capsule.
Then, it would study the manual in the soul skill secret carving.
However, the difficulty was that after feeding the gene capsule, the green caterpillar studied the scroll without any progress.
The description of the Raging Flame Strike was very cool and simple.
Its entire body would burn with intense special flames before charging towards its opponent at lightning speed.
Flames would be left on the ground after the impact.
At the same time, because the flames had a certain damage effect on the soul pet’s body, it would not last long.
Otherwise, if they attacked for a long time, the soul pet itself would suffer considerable damage.
“According to the introduction of the scroll, the temperature of the flames is very high. When you just learn it, it can reach at least a thousand degrees… As you become more familiar with the soul skill, the higher your cultivation base, the higher the temperature. The more damage you cause…”
Naturally, it could not stay at home to learn this soul skill.
Wang Che went to the training club and rented an independent training ground.
The price was inexpensive at a hundred dollars a day.
This training ground had perfect facilities that could allow soul pets to train in various soul skills.
At the same time, there were also different environments like rivers, volcanoes, and forests.
The green caterpillar held its face in anger. It looked at the detailed soul power circuits on the scroll and could not even ignite any sparks no matter what, let alone form flames that enveloped its entire body.
In the end, it looked at Wang Che and grunted twice.
It seemed to be saying: I’m a worm, I can’t produce flames!
“Of course, I know you’re a worm.”
Wang Che coughed and said, “But it’s not impossible. Have you forgotten the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaves I gave you a few days ago?”
Wang Che had eaten a leaf and discovered that this leaf contained some special life force.
It was the fire attribute life force!
Wang Che’s initial thought was that, theoretically speaking, as long as he fed this leaf for a long time, even the green caterpillar’s body should be able to store a certain amount of fire attribute life force.
Then, it would learn this technique—Raging Flame Strike.
However, even after half a month, there was no progress.
This made Wang Che feel troubled.
After half a month, even if it could not use the Raging Flame Strike, it should have had some effect, right?
However, not to mention flames appearing on its body, the body temperature was not increasing even a bit.
Wang Che touched the soft body of the green caterpillar. It was completely cold.
It was quite comfortable. It was suitable to be a pillow in summer… cough cough.
“It’s indeed not easy to learn an attribute soul skill without the corresponding soul power.”
Wang Che had heard of it before.
Not to mention different attributes, even if they were of the same attribute, the probability of learning a soul skill like the Raging Flame Strike was only 50%, or even lower, with the soul skill secret carving.
If it wanted to cross attributes, the only possibility was…
Wang Che checked on the Internet and got some information from Teacher Zheng. It seemed that there had never been any instances where one could learn an attribute soul skill of an opposing attribute.
Especially since fire was the nemesis of bugs…
Just like that, half a month passed.
The green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation steadily reached 190 years.
Among his classmates, most of their soul pets had broken through a hundred years and were slowly rising.
A portion of ordinary soul pets was stuck at a hundred years.
As for Lin Xi’s Cloud Cap Snake, it reached 200 years.
It was ridiculously fast.
Wang Che estimated that the Cloud Cap Snake had definitely put on a very powerful soul device and learned a complementary Soul Guiding Skill.
The increase in its soul power cultivation was very stable.
It did not decrease because it had broken through to a hundred years.
Generally speaking, after breaking through to a hundred years in soul power cultivation, the amount of soul power needed for every year was greater.
Therefore, even if the speed of soul power absorption changed, the increase in soul power cultivation would gradually slow down.
If he had money, he could create a simple Soul Guiding Skill for his soul pet. If he had more money, he could create a complementary soul device.
This way, the soul pet’s soul power cultivation speed would not decrease.
“At the hundred-year stage, ordinary, rare, and extremely rare soul pets will slowly have an obvious difference in soul power cultivation speed.”
Wang Che shook his head.
However, he had not seen Lin Xi in class recently.
It was not until Wang Che arrived at Yuan Xiaole’s club and started chatting with him that he realized that Lin Xi had gone for special training.
“The Blazing Sun Club has a training camp targeted at Contract Soul Masters in their club with potential,” Yuan Xiaole said. “Brother Che, it’s understandable for you not to know about this. The Blazing Sun Club rarely pays attention to small cities like ours. The club only picks those Contract Soul Masters who have entered university and have a certain amount of potential.”
At this point, Yuan Xiaole’s eyes had a hint of yearning as he said, “It’s very difficult to join such a large club. Lin Xi’s background is deep. If she can become one of them, she will naturally enjoy many benefits.”
“Speaking of which, Brother Che, since you could defeat Lin Xi, it seems the Blazing Sun Club has no taste. If I was the person in charge of the club, I would definitely pull you in immediately.”
Yuan Xiaole laughed and said, “I heard from my father that there would be various powerful professional Contract Soul Masters in their training camp. Not only would they personally bring them to various cities to undergo soul pet combat training and accumulate experience, but they would also go out into the wilderness to explore. At the same time, they would also provide complimentary soul skills, training, food, and lodging. They will choose suitable soul pets for the Contract Soul Masters and help cultivate their martial soul. Those are all top services.”
“It’s completely different from small clubs like ours.”
“However, we still have a chance to join after we enter the university.”
Yuan Xiaole was fascinated.
Wang Che smiled.
This club of the university sounded similar to the sects in the cultivation world.
It was normal to have accompanying benefits.
Why would a genius Contract Soul Master join if there were no benefits?
Naturally, it was to obtain better resources, environment, and connections.
“Lin Xi can participate in this kind of training as a high school student. Really, her background is very strong.”
Yuan Xiaole glanced at Wang Che, “Brother Che, I really think if I can get together with such a beautiful woman, I’ll definitely enjoy 50 fewer years of hard work.”
“That’s too little,” Wang Che said. “I feel like I can work a few hundred years less on my own.”
“…” Yuan Xiaole.
How could he work less on his own?
“Brother Che is number one in Skyheart City when it comes to bragging. No one would dare to call themselves number one,” Yuan Xiaole admitted defeat. “You’re still the best..”
