Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Chapter 27: J-823

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seven days passed by very quickly.

The intense training was starting to get repetitive.

To Wang Che, it was as if nothing had happened in those seven days. The years he had spent cultivating in the past were much more boring…

Children, however, especially those who went to school during the day, would prefer to spend their downtime playing and resting.

There weren’t a lot of people from Wang Che’s class who would willingly join the club for soul beast battles and additional training after school.

Instead, students were more likely to be interested in the Enlightenment Cup.

After all, they knew what they were capable of.

Tianyue Battle Club.

Ever since the start of the school term, its membership had begun to increase exponentially.

Just as Yuan Xiaole expected, Wang Che’s participation had indeed contributed to this increase, especially when it came to members of the opposite sex.

Nevertheless, the students who joined all had the same goal in the end. It was to gain some strength before the Enlightenment Cup.

Naturally, the club had to hold countless battles every day.

It would be near impossible to watch all of them.

“They’re all a bunch of nobodies fighting each other,” Yuan Xiaole remarked arrogantly as he looked at the matches in the arena below. “Other than Brother Che, there’s no one else who can fight properly. It seems that only Brother Che and I will be able to advance to the finals…”

“Do you agree, Kuka Beast?”

“Kuka!” The Kuka Beast that had grown somewhat larger began rubbing its own chest.

“Very good, as expected of my, Yuan Xiaole’s, soul pet.”

As Yuan Xiaole continued looking around the club, something caught his eye. Without wasting a moment, he quickly walked down from the second floor.

“Brother Che!” Yuan Xiaole cheerfully approached the person he spotted. “The competition is tomorrow. Aren’t you going to rest up first?”

It was Wang Che.

“I’m getting paid a salary, so I have to be responsible for my work.” Wang Che smiled at his schoolmate. “I’ll still have to come here every day.”

“Ha!” Waving his hand, Yuan Xiaole began speaking, “I won’t deny it. Using your name is really quite helpful. Our Tianyue Club has more students this semester than in any other year. We’re already reaping the benefits, so it doesn’t really matter if you show up or not!”

As he spoke, Yuan Xiaole sneaked in a glance at the green caterpillar behind Wang Che.

It was much larger than before.

By now, its soul power cultivation base must have reached somewhere around seventy years.

Yuan Xiaole rubbed his chin and started to think, as he stared at the green caterpillar which had its mouth covered with black powder from eating snacks.

In the past seven days, his own Kuka Beast had grown much stronger. It had also managed to learn a soul skill.

If what his father and Professor Yan had said the other day were true, the green caterpillar was no ordinary creature.

Yet now…

‘At the very least, I should have a 50% chance, right? No matter how powerful this green caterpillar is, it can only learn one soul skill. On top of that, it’s a non-offensive soul skill like Spit Thread.’

Yuan Xiaole pondered, ‘However, this green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation level is really growing at a scary rate.’

“By the way, Brother Che, do you know of anyone who looks like they’re going to be a problem at the Enlightenment Cup?” Yuan Xiaole smiled and asked.

“I’m not sure, I didn’t pay much attention to the other participants.” Wang Che shook his head as he answered half-heartedly.

After all, he and his soul pet had been training hard for the past week. In fact, the green caterpillar only had time to eat snacks as they were on their way to the battle club.

Though Wang Che could only make up a few hundred words and add some pictures to the fairy tales he told the little one, it didn’t stop its vivid imagination at all.

Since even the green caterpillar itself became immersed in its training to become stronger, he naturally did not have the time to care about who he would be dealing with in the competition.

“Though I don’t think you’ll meet anyone more troublesome than me there,” Wang Che added.

After being quiet for a moment, Yuan Xiaole quickly replied, “That’s fine. There are only about two or three students with extremely rare soul pets in the other two high schools anyway. They might be powerful, but the Enlightenment Cup is even less challenging than a newbie tournament. Their rare soul pets probably won’t have high soul power cultivation ages either, so the difference in strength won’t be too ridiculous.”

“However, one thing is for sure. Lin Xi from your class is really strong.” Yuan Xiaole contemplated for a moment before saying, “Apparently, I heard that Lin Xi joined a club. Do you know which club it is?”

Wang Che shook his head.

“It’s one of the top Contract Soul Master Clubs in the Eastern War Zone, the Blazing Sun Club. The person who founded this club is the Titled Heavenly King of the Eastern War Zone, the Blazing Sun Heavenly King.”

Yuan Xiaole began to sigh as he continued, “My father only found out about this from his social circles. The Blazing Sun Club isn’t even in Skyheart City after all. It’s located in West Peak Continent’s Glory Capital, and on top of that, third-year students aren’t even their target demographic.”

“She’ll most likely end up as champion of the Enlightenment Cup. You and I can make it to the top five or whatever I guess.”

As soon as Yuan Xiaole finished speaking, the Kuka Beast immediately started to beat its chest.

“It seems to be asking… how come you didn’t say this earlier?” Wang Che turned his attention back to Yuan Xiaole.

“How did you know… cough cough, I was just bragging earlier, but I’m telling the truth this time…” Yuan Xiaole quickly coughed to stop talking.

Wang Che suddenly smiled when he heard this.

Then, he and Yuan Xiaole took a stroll around the club before finally returning home.

After resting and regaining his energy that night, Wang Che headed to the competition venue bright and early the next day.

Skyheart Stadium.

Although it was only a small-scale introductory-level competition that was limited to Skyheart City, there was still quite an audience gathered to watch it.

The competition would last for three days, which meant that even the junior and middle school students had to take three days off from classes.

At the same time, the other cities in the West Peak Continent would also hold the Enlightenment Cup in their own respective city stadiums.

This was an initiative to encourage the third-year students and other younger children to train their soul pets well.

Wang Che, however, only had his eyes set on being the champion. Frankly, there were too many benefits that came with placing first in the competition.

100,000 dollars as the reward, in addition to food, medicine, and soul devices…

Most importantly, Wang Che was looking forward to exploring and training in the area outside the war zone.

What lay beyond the war zone?

Wang Che did not know the answer to that question. It seemed there was very little information about the war zones in all the knowledge he currently possessed.

The only thing that he associated war zones with was the word danger.

He knew nothing else about them.

After a while, Wang Che and his soul pet finally arrived at the stadium. It was packed full of people, but fortunately there were many signs on the road that helped direct them.

Since he had already completed the registration process a few days prior, Wang Che, along with the other participants, only needed to find out the location and number of their matches.

He quickly turned on the phone and clicked on the West Peak Continent’s soul pet app. After selecting Skyheart City’s Enlightenment Cup, Wang Che entered his name and identity card number, and pointed the camera at himself. There were a series of general security procedures that he had to go through, like facial and eye recognition, fingerprint verification, and so on.

At the end, some words appeared on the screen.

“Recording participant’s information. Matching in progress… your competition area is Area J Stage 8, contestant number 23.

“There’s still an hour before the match begins.

“Please show me your QR code before the match.”

“Eh? J823?”

Wang Che thought about it… and felt that this number wasn’t too bad.

After entering the stadium, Wang Che headed straight for the waiting area.

There were also many other participants sitting there, and since it was on the third floor, they could watch the competition in Area J with a good view.

As he tried to take a look at the ongoing competition for himself, Wang Che realised that both participants fighting in the arena were his classmates.

It wasn’t much of a coincidence, since he knew they were going to participate anyway.

In less than five minutes, one of them was eliminated from the competition and the other advanced to a higher stage.

The one who was eliminated fought against his classmate who had a young feathered eagle as his flying-type soul pet. With the ability to fly, defeating a Sharp Touch Bug that had not even learned a soul skill was light work for the feathered eagle. It could be said it had the upper hand from the start.

With just a single dive, it had managed to almost kill the bug.

On top of that, its cultivation level seemed to be slightly higher as well.

Even if it had been a rare soul pet facing the eagle earlier, it would still be quite difficult to fight against an opponent that can fly, much less a normal soul pet like the Sharp Touch Bug.
