Chapter 34: Chapter 34

“Pull it down and attack it from the sky!”

Wang Che shouted.

On the other end of the thread, the green caterpillar kept its grip tight, grabbing hold of the thread with its mouth.

After hearing the order, it hauled with all its might. The flexibility of the thread allowed both parties to approach each other rapidly.

The gull’s feet were restrained, its mouth glued shut, and it frantically struggled to get free in the air, to no avail.

It lost its balance, especially when the green caterpillar pulled hard.

Both rivals approached each other at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, both of them dashed past each other. The green caterpillar continued to rise, and the Spike Gull continued falling due to the inertia of the downward pull.

When it reached its highest point, the green caterpillar pulled the thread upward again.

This time, its head swooped down and released the threads. Like a dragon charging down from the sky, its tail was vertical and pointing down sharply.

With the borrowed force of the momentum, it used its tail to swing at the Spike Gull.

Pa!

Under the tremendous force, the Spike Gull crashed onto the stage like a falling meteor.

The caterpillar landed steadily on the ground.

On the other hand, the bird had no strength to pick itself up.

It specialized in speed and offense, so its defense and constitution were extremely weak.

Not to mention receiving such an attack that went against its weak points.

The attack from the sky was even more terrifying than the usual tail move!

Everyone was silent; no one expected this at all.

The battle ended in less than a minute.

“Victory goes to Contestant No. 23 of Zone J!”

The referee announced after a while.

Lin Yi looked confused.

It felt as if the fight had not even begun and…

She had lost?

A huge commotion broke out within the crowd!

Everyone stared in bewilderment.

“What the hell? He won just like that?”

“That’s the green caterpillar’s… Spit Thread soul skill? Are you sure it’s not a steel wire instead?”

“Steel wire can’t bend like that either…”

“Isn’t it too strong? The opponent didn’t get a chance to react at all… I always thought that the green caterpillar’s silk was produced for the fashion and textile industry…”

…

Wang Che patted the green caterpillar on the head.

The little one was still in a daze. It tilted its head and looked at Wang Che.

It seemed to be saying, ‘I won? How?’

Wang Che smiled but did not answer.

If this young one were to fight on its own, its chances of winning would be slim.

Wang Che had already seen through the opponent’s attacks. Coupled with its powerful soul skill, he was certain that the competitor would not be able to react in time.

Only then could the battle end in such a short time.

There was no need to doubt the power of a soul skill.

Wang Che ignored the girl, who was still in a stupor. He brought the green caterpillar down the stage for recuperation and to prepare it for the competition the next day.

On the third floor’s observation deck, Lin Xi, Professor Yan, and the blind elder were all quiet.

The result was completely unexpected.

“So, is this your win, or his win?” Lin Xi asked, looking at the two old men.

“Probably neither…” Professor Yan’s gaze was solemn.

“Professor Yan…” Lin Xi opened her mouth.

He seemed to understand what she was trying to ask, as he replied, “Are you going to ask why the Spit Thread soul skill is so powerful? I might have to go back and study it myself…”

Lin Xi did not say anything further.

The sightless old man had a strange expression as he wondered out loud.

“That Spit Thread soul skill is so powerful, but it’s not something that a 70 year cultivation green caterpillar can unleash… That’s at least the power of a 100 year cultivation…

“But soul power cultivation can’t be faked… How strange and interesting…

“What’s even more amusing is that this boy’s very experienced in combat. With my intuition, he should have already seen through that girl’s motive for attacking…

“A soul skill like Gust has a certain degree of stiffness and recoil when used.”

The shock in Lin Xi’s heart could not be extinguished, but she was rather gratified.

For Lin Yi to be crushed like this, she was able to release a sigh of relief inwardly.

She touched the Cloud Cap Snake who was watching the battle from the side.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

The snake hissed softly, its eyes burning with a faint fighting spirit.

——

For the remaining matches, Wang Che only chose a few to observe.

For example, Yuan Xiaole’s and Lin Xi’s match, as well as the guy with the soul pet called Fire Meow.

After watching them, he went straight home.

When Wang Che returned, he found that Father Wang and Mother Wang were already back, and had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

“Yo, our son is back! How was it? Were you eliminated?” Father Wang smiled as if he wasn’t aware of anything in the competition.

“Don’t be disheartened. It’s already good enough to be able to enter the top 100.” Mother Wang pretended to know nothing and comforted him.

Wang Che glanced at the both of them.

These two dramatic parents were humorous to him.

They were obviously trying to get him to proudly announce the results out loud so that he could feel proud about himself. They didn’t want to expose the fact that they had actually gone to watch the competition.

Wang Che thought for a bit and said, “I was indeed eliminated. In the last round, I encountered a flying type soul pet. It was a direct counter to the caterpillar so our young one lost without doubt.”

Upon hearing this, both of them were stunned.

“Bullshit! Didn’t you win…” Father Wang blurted out. As soon as he said that, he realized what he had done.

Mother Wang coughed aloud and glared at Father Wang, as if she was in disbelief for marrying this stupid husband.

It was such an obvious trap, but even as his father, he had jumped right into it…

Since he had already said it, there was no way he could hide it anymore.

Wang Che looked at both of them and added, “If you guys wanted to go, you could’ve just gone. You didn’t have to hide it…”

“Well…” Father Wang coughed as he explained, “It’s mainly because you didn’t tell us. We thought you were thinking that you might lose on the first day and didn’t want us to watch you make a fool out of yourself, so we took the initiative and did it secretly…”

“So?”

“So… haha! You gave us a shock the entire time!” Father Wang chortled as he slapped the table. “Good fellow, this little thing is so powerful! It’s so strong, as if it was on steroids. This is really amazing!”

Mother Wang stroked the green caterpillar’s head.

It seemed shy from getting showered by all the compliments and revealed a fulfilled expression.

Perhaps it enjoyed Mother Wang’s gentle caress. After all, it was her first time feeding it.

“I think you’re the one who grew up eating steroids,” Mother Wang jeered as she glared at Father Wang. “This is the result of Wang Che’s exceptional training. You have to work hard tomorrow too!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Once you enter the top ten ranks, your mother and I will be so proud of you,” Father Wang finished and sighed. “Speaking of which, you really didn’t care about the lady in today’s match. Your opponent was such a delicate girl but you didn’t go easy on her at all and defeated her instantly. In fact, it was an instant sweep.”

“I wonder how traumatized she’ll be?”

Father Wang had a look of regret on his face.

“Huh? You only care about little girls, right?” Mother Wang sneered, looking at her husband with killing intent in her eyes.

He assured hurriedly, “Of course, wife. I cherish you every day. What I cherish… is obviously your flower-like, precious face.”

“Don’t you feel embarrassed saying this… Hmph, how annoying!”

Wang Che did not manage to utter a single word.

Goosebumps appeared on his skin and he hurried back to the bedroom after dinner.

He didn’t think he could handle seeing his parents being lovey-dovey everyday.

After resting for a while, he flipped open his communicator.

The class chat was exploding with more than 999 messages.

They were basically discussing today’s match, all focused on his in particular.

After some thought, Wang Che could only send a reply.

Wang Che: “Everyone, please don’t praise me yet. Save some of them for tomorrow’s competition.”

Wang Che: “I’m going to rest now.”

Everyone: “…”
