Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Chapter 23: Acting, Shocking!

The green caterpillar moved toward the rock.

All eyes were on it, tracking its every move.

It was rather large, and it inched slowly as if it were a snail.

It looked very cute and harmless at this point.

When it passed by the Cloud Cap Snake, the arrogant one was crossing its hands slightly and leaning against Lin Xi. It was bored, and had no intention of observing.

Only when Lin Xi patted it did the snake unwillingly look over.

Teacher Zheng glanced at the approaching green caterpillar, not knowing what to say.

Rumbling Tail Strike was not a complicated soul skill, so it was not difficult to comprehend.

However, to a young soul pet, there would obviously be some obstacles in learning it.

After all, they had only just developed intelligence.

Therefore, it was hopeless to train a green caterpillar to attack with its tail.

This was way too unreasonable.

“F*ck, these fools only know how to kick up a fuss.”

Xu Haifeng placed his hand on Wang Che’s shoulder, “You have to be mentally prepared. There will be no lack of comparisons between soul pets since this Cloud Cap Snake is truly arrogant. F*ck, if only your green caterpillar could really attack with its tail!

“We should slap its face. That little creature is too cocky. Even Lin Xi is unable to completely subdue it.”

Xu Haifeng said all of that, but in his opinion, that was quite impractical…

“But since Lin Xi spoke up for you, it seems like the relationship between the both of you is a little complicated.”

Xu Haifeng winked as he pressed on, “If the green caterpillar makes a fool of itself, then the Cloud Cap Snake will make fun of it. I suggest that you go and use your good looks to charm it. What do you think?”

Wang Che kicked him immediately. “Get lost!”

Xu Haifeng dodged and chuckled. He poked the Hundred Flowers Beast’s head.

“Little one, let’s cheer for the green caterpillar.”

Swoosh!

The Hundred Flowers Beast did not quite understand what he had said. It could only cry out in response together with its master.

As this was taking place, everyone’s gazes shifted to the green caterpillar that had arrived at the boulder.

It stood before the rock, considering it’s next move.

Suddenly, an idea seemed to have popped up in its head..

The green caterpillar approached the boulder, and without accelerating or diving, it morphed its physical form!

At once, its aura transformed drastically.

Its fleshy tail shrank rapidly, instantly solidifying into a metal chain. With a sudden lurch, it struck the center of the enormous stone.

The scene looked like it was hitting a drum.

Bang!

There was a violent explosion and a cloud of dust.

Under the cover of the haze, only Teacher Zheng’s gaze could remain on it.

Then, the smog gradually dispersed.

The green caterpillar lay on the ground, its energy completely spent.

However, on the other side, the boulder had already been split in two.

When everyone saw this, they were appalled!

What terrifying power!

“Holy sh*t! This should be the Rumbling Tail Strike, right?” Xu Haifeng exclaimed as he rubbed his eyes. “Even that Cloud Cap Snake was not able to slice the huge rock in half with its tail! Hahaha, it’s so incredibly strong!

“But why does your green caterpillar look so exhausted? Is it only capable of one attack?”

Wang Che did not bother to reply.

Lin Xi’s expression was still as she watched in shock.

She could not imagine just how much potential that tail contained. It could actually break that large slab into two?

To send the boulder flying and to tear it apart were two completely different concepts!

How could a 50-year-old green caterpillar have such a potent skill?

Lin Xi was a genius as well, and she was very knowledgeable about soul pets.

From the first time she laid eyes on Wang Che’s green caterpillar that morning, she had already roughly calculated its cultivation level.

When she had done so, she was very surprised that Wang Che had managed to cultivate a green caterpillar to such a level within half a month!

However, due to her personality, she did not show her amazement and seemed apathetic about it.

Currently, however, the two broken pieces of rock in front of her caused an even greater shock.

It had completely exceeded the green caterpillar’s power level!

She had initially planned to observe the green caterpillar’s turn to get ideas on how to improve.

Because of the systematic training it had received regarding the Rumbling Tail Strike soul skill, the Cloud Cap Snake was very experienced in using its tail.

Now, it seemed that there was no need for that…

She glanced at Wang Che. To be able to raise his soul pet to this level…

No one could imagine how much effort it must have taken.

“It has that much potential? I think my Ducky soul pet can just leave now!”

“It does indeed seem a bit exaggerated… The Cloud Cap Snake is an extremely rare soul pet. Even if it isn’t prominent in terms of strength, its high species potential allows its body to defeat many normal soul pets that rely on strength.

“Even if the two had a difference of ten years of soul power cultivation, that’s practically nothing compared to a special soul pet… So why… How is it that the green caterpillar so mighty?”

The other students could not understand.

The Cloud Cap Snake could not wrap its mind around it either; its eyes turned from disdain into blankness.

Then it froze.

It could not imagine how a weak green caterpillar could have unleashed such power.

Not only that, it was stronger than it?

Why?

After a while, the insect turned around and slowly crawled back.

It looked at Wang Che, seemingly asking for praise.

“Well done,” Wang Che gushed as he stroked its head.

Not bad. It knew how to act.

It could sense that Wang Che had not wanted it to reveal too much of its true strength.

“Teacher Zheng, was that the Rumbling Tail Strike?” Xu Haifeng asked excitedly.

The teacher stared at the huge rock for a long time before turning to Xu Haifeng.

“Of course not. However, Wang Che’s green caterpillar has been nurtured very well, especially in terms of strength. It can be seen that the intensity of their training these past few days has definitely been commendable. Only then could the green caterpillar’s power have increased so much. Although its potential is very low, it still has 50 years of soul power cultivation after all.

“However, the impact of the strike was actually not much stronger than the Cloud Cap Snake’s.

“The difference is that the snake is lacking in training. The power of its tail was scattered too much upon impact, but the green caterpillar focused all its power into one spot. That is how it had been able to cut the boulder apart.

“It must have been raised through a lot of training.”

He looked at Wang Che, and his gaze slightly flickered. Finally, he smiled and added, “Although species potential determines the lower limits of a soul pet, it is still not easy to pull apart such a huge gap in the early stages of infancy. Through coaching, it can make up for some of that deficiency.”

Everyone nodded in unison.

“Also, don’t underestimate the soul skill,” Teacher Zheng continued. “The power of the soul skill far exceeds our imagination. They can unleash power several times greater than our own. If the green caterpillar could truly comprehend the true Rumbling Tail Strike, this boulder would have been shattered.

“Therefore, be it the green caterpillar or the Cloud Cap Snake, the attack just now was only a basic one, exactly how you exert all your strength for a punch. They were not true soul skills.”

At this moment, a student suddenly interjected with a question.

“Teacher, they used the same type of attack, but Wang Che’s green caterpillar has been trained so well. Is it even possible for it to learn a soul skill like the Rumbling Tail Strike?”

Teacher Zheng grinned as he replied, “Theoretically, yes. However, the green caterpillar only has one hereditary soul skill, which is the Spit Thread. It is very difficult to comprehend a new skill. However, the Cloud Cap Snake is unique. Its genes contain the Rumbling Tail Strike soul skill, so it only needs a few more days of training for it to understand the soul power circulation of the tail attack. It’s able to adapt quickly.

“Different soul pets have their own distinct ways of developing the Rumbling Tail Strike. They can’t teach each other how to do it. Therefore, if the green caterpillar wants to comprehend it, it can only rely on a strict training regimen to try and understand the skill, as it doesn’t have it in its biological genes.

“Not only is it very challenging to do so, but it will also take time.”

Everyone nodded their heads again.

All of a sudden, the Cloud Cap Snake glared at the green caterpillar defiantly and hissed at Lin Xi.

She was silent for a moment before shaking her head, “This request won’t do! Also, the training I usually assign to you is still too light. He… could even train a green caterpillar so well. You clearly have more potential than it, but your performance is not even on par. You have to train harder in the future.”

“Hiss! Hiss!” The Cloud Cap Snake let out two cries. It glanced at the green caterpillar and stopped its tantrum.

Teacher Zheng walked toward Wang Che and beckoned, “Come with me.”
