Chapter 80: Green—Tiga—Caterpillar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hmm, your green caterpillar has already cultivated for more than 300 years. Logically speaking, it should also learn some hundred-year soul skills.”
Teacher Zheng pondered and said, “Your goal is not just to awaken your martial soul. It should be placed in the Aviation Cup. On the trip to the Soul Earth, your green caterpillar has achieved a soul power cultivation of 300 years. It’s not bad, and it’s indeed very high. However, it can’t do without a suitable soul skill.”
“The difficulty of the Aviation Cup is far beyond that of the Enlightenment Cup… It can’t go far with just Rumbling Tail Strike and Spit Thread.”
“What do you think?”
Wang Che thought for a few seconds and told her about his plan to train the green caterpillar to learn the Insect Concealment soul skill.
“Insect Concealment? That’s a good idea.” Teacher Zheng sighed after hearing this, “But Insect Concealment is a bug-type hundred-year core soul skill, especially one with a tactical nature. If you think it’s good, others will naturally think it’s good too.”
“There’s only been one instance of the Insect Concealment soul skill secret carving appearing on the market. It’s very difficult for you to obtain it.”
“Without the soul skill secret carving, learning Insect Concealment is several times harder than Rumbling Tail Strike.”
Teacher Zheng was speaking the truth.
Even Wang Che felt that this soul skill was not bad at this stage.
There were not many fools training soul pets now.
They could naturally tell the use of this Insect Concealment Soul Skill.
It was naturally very difficult to obtain the soul skill secret carving.
Wang Che had drawn the Raging Flame Strike from the egg capsule.
Such a core power soul skill was very expensive and might not even be found on the market.
Without the soul skill secret carving, the learning difficulty was naturally harder than the Rumbling Tail Strike.
Teacher Zheng suddenly said, “How about this? I have a competition here. Not only will the reward be a large amount of money, but there will also be a soul skill secret carving. It’s not bad. Do you want to try?”
“What competition?”
“Spit Thread Competition.”
Wang Che was stunned.
Spit Thread had a competition?
What the heck?
“It’s like this.” Teacher Zheng coughed and said, “Do you know about the company, Silkworm Fashion?”
“I know. It’s a female clothing brand from our West Peak Continent. It’s quite big. My mother’s clothes are of that brand.” Wang Che nodded.
“Silkworm Fashion recently planned on releasing a few high-end clothings. The threads of the bug soul pets they nurtured internally were processed and didn’t meet the requirements. Therefore, they sent out an invitation competition to the Contract Soul Masters with bug soul pets in the West Peak Continent.”
“If they can find a suitable thread, you will sign a contract with them. Every month, you only need a soul pet to spit out a certain amount of thread to obtain a large sum of money. At the same time, you will be provided with a random bug type soul skill secret carving.”
Wang Che: “…”
He looked at the green caterpillar training hard.
Hmm… good fellow, this little thing could really earn money?
“This should be very difficult, right?” Wang Che frowned.
With Contract Soul Masters participating, how could the green caterpillar’s silk compare to those Contract Soul Masters with tens of thousands of years of soul power cultivation?
“It’s hard to say. The threads they need have a specific requirement. They don’t have much to do with the soul pet’s soul power cultivation. It’s just that the quality of the threads doesn’t match their requirements.”
“Because it’s a high-end route, there’s not much need for threads. What it wants is perfection.”
“You can train the soul pet and get rewards at the same time…”
“I’ll give it a try.” Wang Che nodded.
He had many ways to earn money, but it was not bad to have such proper ones.
Moreover, there was the reward of a soul skill secret carving.
Although it was random, it was better than nothing.
“Alright, the competition will begin in about half a month. During this time, you can just train normally. This is the invitation. When the time comes, you can go to the headquarters of the Silkworm Fashion Group yourself. The competition time is also very short. It won’t even take a day to come and go.”
Teacher Zheng took out an exquisite invitation and handed it to Wang Che.
Wang Che nodded and thanked Teacher Zheng.
He did not expect much.
After all, they wanted a specific thread and might have a lot of random requests.
In modern society, using soul pets to earn money was very normal.
After all, training soul pets cost a lot.
Soul pets’ various abilities were also applicable to all walks of life.
There were even soul pet superstars…
After finishing a day of studying, Wang Che returned home.
After resting for a while, Wang Che pondered for a while and planned to let the green caterpillar train it to comprehend the Insect Concealment.
“Insect Concealment is divided into two stages. The first stage is to change the skin color of the body and blend into various environments. The second stage is to accumulate strength and strike later.”
Wang Che taught the move, Insect Concealment, through its essence.
He was not an ordinary person.
A great cultivator at the Immortal Ascension Realm had extraordinary horizons and understanding. It was necessary to see through the essence of things.
The essence of soul skills was similar to spell techniques.
“If we want to learn Insect Concealment, we need to first train another soul skill: Martial Soul Armament.”
“Next, you’ll use your soul power to change the color of your skin.”
Wang Che seemed to have thought of something and said slowly.
The green caterpillar was a little confused, but it listened to Wang Che.
It circulated its soul power and used the Martial Soul Armament.
Soul power covered the surface of his body.
The next moment, the green caterpillar’s surface gradually turned black.
It looked like black iron and looked very firm.
Wang Che touched it. It was like a steel plate.
“Do you know why your skin turned black?” Wang Che asked.
Green caterpillar: (¬_¬)
‘How would I know!’
“Because the soul power you circulate is highly concentrated at this moment, it reacts with your skin, causing your skin cells to quickly undergo a special mutation, thereby increasing your physical abilities… Hmm, you won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Wang Che said, “Now, slowly reduce the concentration of soul power circulating… see if there are any changes?”
The green caterpillar understood what he meant. It slowly reduced the concentration of soul power.
The Martial Soul Armament had a specific soul power circulation method.
Because it was born from the Soul Armor Haki, even its skin would turn black.
Its defense and attack would be greatly enhanced. At the same time, Wang Che had incorporated some of the principles behind the martial technique, ‘Heavenly Dipper Battle Qi’.
After modifying some of the circuits, it would increase its speed and reaction.
As the green caterpillar slowly reduced the concentration of soul power, as expected, the color on its body changed.
From black, it gradually changed.
It turned blue.
“Stop. Now, maintain this,” Wang Che said.
The green caterpillar struggled to control itself, its entire body trembling.
The more subtle it was to control soul power, the more difficult it was.
Now that it had grown a lot, it could barely do it.
“Did you see that? The color of your body has changed.” Wang Che smiled and said, “This means that when you circulate the Martial Soul Armament, the different soul power concentration will cause different changes in you.”
“Your current ability should have changed as well.”
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar hissed.
‘I don’t believe it. It doesn’t feel any different.’
“Then let’s try.”
Wang Che walked to the wall on the other side of the room, “Now, slowly crawl over.”
The green caterpillar nodded and slowly crawled over.
However, the moment it moved.
Swoosh.
Like a flash of ice, it hit the wall a few meters away.
Slam!
It hit the wall like a plug.
Then, with a thud, it landed.
“Did you see that?”
Wang Che smiled and said, “Your speed has increased even more, causing you to be unable to adapt to walking. However, your strength has weakened greatly. Otherwise, you would have to directly hit a hole in this wall.”
The green caterpillar shook its dizzy head and came to a realization.
“The Martial Soul Armament greatly improves your physique. However, a comprehensive increase will result in different colors by changing the concentration of soul power attached to your body. This increase will be biased toward a certain aspect.”
“Remember the concentration of your soul power this time. When your body turns blue, your speed will increase and your strength will decrease.”
“Next, we’ll try to circulate different soul power concentrations to see what color they’ll reach and what changes your body’s strength will undergo.”
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar was very interested.
Because it looked especially handsome with a different color.
Wang Che patted the green caterpillar’s head and smiled, “Why don’t I change your name?”
“Huh?”
“Let’s call you Green—Tiga—Caterpillar. How about that?”
“???”
