Chapter 84: Development of the Spit Thread Soul Skill’s Advancement!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Congratulations.” Mi Xue nodded affirmatively, “As long as you bring back one steel bead, it will be considered a success. It’s already not bad to be able to bring back three.”
The contestant was covered in sweat.
To evolve from the Flying Moth to the Flaming Moth, not only did it need soul power cultivation, but it also needed to accumulate a certain amount of fire life force in its body.
His pet was about to evolve. Due to the fire attribute life force in its body, the threads it spat out had a higher resistance to heat.
He had passed the first round very narrowly.
Wang Che pondered as he watched.
He found it quite interesting.
“Ssss…”
The green caterpillar glanced at it. The burning flames did not make it uncomfortable.
As this contestant succeeded, a few more contestants tried.
Unfortunately, only two contestants successfully brought back a steel bead.
Their bug type soul pets had a cultivation base of more than a thousand years. With the addition of soul power, the white silk they spat out didn’t burn quickly.
Therefore, they barely brought back a steel bead.
“Student, it’s you again.”
Mi Xue looked at the contestants and her gaze landed on Wang Che. The smile on her face was brighter.
“Are you still going to try this time?”
Everyone looked at Wang Che.
“I’ll try it.” Wang Che smiled politely.
“Not bad, you’re very brave,” Mi Xue encouraged and said in a mild tone, “It’s okay if you failed. It’s already not bad to be able to use a green caterpillar to pass the first round.”
Everyone: “…”
Damn, why did his tone sound completely different from before!
Wang Che coughed and walked to the side. He discussed softly with the green caterpillar.
“Spit silk later and try to use the fire life force in your body. Don’t use too much. If you use too much, you’ll not be able to control it.”
“If that happens, you can’t even unleash the soul skill. Just use a little.”
The green caterpillar thought about it and nodded.
This should not be difficult.
“Go.” Wang Che said.
The green caterpillar crawled over.
Wang Che looked at the green caterpillar in silence.
It had been focused on learning and training those powerful core soul skills.
After all, the outstanding aspect of a core soul skill was that it could grow to a thousand years, ten thousand years, and become an even more powerful core soul skill.
It would have an even stronger effect.
For example, after becoming a thousand-year soul skill, Insect Concealment could not only increase the power of conventional soul skills, but it could also increase the power of attribute soul skills.
The same was true for the Raging Flame Strike and Energy Bomb.
From the ten-year soul skill Seed Bomb to the Energy Bomb, the bomb would gain a tracking effect.
On the other hand, when it came to a thousand-year soul skill, it could control the timing of the explosion. It was impossible to guard against and was extremely disgusting.
Ordinary soul skills were not good enough. Even if its soul power cultivation was a thousand years or ten thousand years, its power would only increase.
There would be no other effects.
But that was under normal circumstances…
‘Spit Thread is an attribute soul skill. The foundation of its operation is to rely on the combination of bug life force and soul power.’
‘When it circulates, it will contain a certain amount of fire life force that will increase the heat resistance of the thread.’
‘If the flame life force and the insect life force reach a certain ratio… then through a special soul power circuit, it will form a special and rare fire soul skill!’
‘I remember there’s a similar soul skill… Fire Whip?’ Wang Che pondered.
Fire Whip was extremely rare among fire-type soul skills.
There were basically no soul skill secret carvings.
Very few fire attribute soul pets could learn this move.
Of course, being extremely rare did not mean that it was very powerful.
Instead, it had a high requirement. Many fire attribute soul pets did not have this skill.
Based on what Wang Che knew, only a small number of bug and fire attribute soul pets could learn this move.
‘After this competition, this soul skill, Spit Thread, should also evolve and upgrade…’ Wang Che muttered.
As the green caterpillar’s most fundamental soul skill, Wang Che had always treated Spit Thread as his control method.
Moreover, it was strong enough, so it did not consider changing it.
The green caterpillar had already learned many powerful soul skills.
In this competition, Wang Che noticed that this green caterpillar’s most basic soul skill could still be developed and upgraded.
It could not be ignored.
Not to mention reaching the level of a fire whip, if it advanced a little and allowed the thread to possess a certain amount of fire power, becoming a fire thread should be possible.
As its innate soul skill, it was probably the easiest to develop!
The green caterpillar crawled over.
It first opened its mouth and prepared it, because it was not familiar with this new utilization.
This was the first time it had used it. Instead of spitting out white silk, it spat out steam.
Everyone was speechless.
After three experiments, the green caterpillar grasped the feeling.
It opened its mouth and spat out a thread.
What was special was that the thread was slightly red. It was not obvious in the flames.
The thread flew out and quickly rolled up a series of steel beads.
At the same time, the thread was burning with flames, but it did not burn off.
This scene immediately made everyone open their mouths slightly.
Only when it was retracted did the thread burn a small portion.
“Awesome, awesome!”
“Is this really a green caterpillar?”
“The threads that were spat out are a little ridiculous… It’s been so long, but it only burned a little?”
“How do they train? Are students nowadays so abnormal?”
“I estimate that this student has focused on training the green caterpillar’s Spit Thread soul skill… After all, the green caterpillar only knows this move. Its proficiency has already reached the highest level. Our soul pets rarely use Spit Thread soul skills…”
“I think so too… Maybe it was even fed some special food… Amazing!”
…
Everyone discussed spiritedly, exclaiming at the power of this green caterpillar’s thread.
The green caterpillar’s mouth was red as it walked back. It had not controlled itself properly when it retracted it.
The steel ball fell into its mouth and scalded it.
Mi Xue hurriedly brought over a few potions and used the Bamboo Moth’s Healing Powder soul skill to heal the green caterpillar.
The Healing Powder was also an bug -type hundred-year soul skill that specialized in healing.
“Student, your green caterpillar is really powerful.” Mi Xue praised, “In the past few competitions, I’ve seen at least 80 green caterpillars, if not 100. This is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful one.”
“You flatter me,” Wang Che said. “Why don’t we hurry to the next round?”
“Alright, the other three contestants, follow me.”
Mi Xue brought Wang Che and the other three contestants to the last round.
This last round was even more interesting.
There were three boxes containing the oven, the sink, and the refrigerator.
“This round requires your soul pets to use Spit Thread and place it in three boxes for a certain period of time. After taking it out, if it can still be used, that’s considered a pass.”
Mi Xue smiled and said, “The threads that our own soul pets spit out can only last for ten seconds, so they don’t meet the standard. The requirement for you is to last for more than thirty seconds. The goal is very simple, it’s to test the durability of the threads.”
Hearing this, the three people other than Wang Che looked at each other.
He finally understood why no one had succeeded after holding this competition a few times.
Not to mention the three boxes, just the oven and the refrigerator, once the threads were heated and cooled, they would definitely not be usable anymore for soul pets of this level.
It would probably break with a tug…
What sort of durability could there be?
Mi Xue saw that the other three had already given up, being too lazy to even try.
It was expected so she was not disappointed.
“Student, what about you?” Mi Xue looked at Wang Che and smiled gently, “Do you still have the courage to try?”
