Chapter 33: It Wants to Fight Ten of Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a series of pre-match preparations, the 26 seeded players from each zone arrived at their respective waiting areas.

The venue of the competition had been switched. It was no longer in the original field.

Instead, it was now on the battle stage located on the third floor of the gymnasium. Moreover, not all matches were being held at the same time, as the competition would go pair by pair.

It was currently the afternoon and there was plenty of time.

There was no need for all the players to compete at the same time. This gave them a chance to observe the following opponents.

Wang Che arrived at the waiting area on the third floor and sat in a corner, quietly waiting.

After five rounds, it was time for him to compete with the girl from Zone B, No. 23.

He had started to feel a little bored as he watched.

To be able to become the zone winner of every district, it was a challenging feat.

However, the Enlightenment Cup was ultimately still a beginner level soul pet tournament.

For the other students watching the battles of these zone winners, it was exceptionally exciting and made their adrenaline rush

Wang Che, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it.

Therefore, he shifted his gaze toward the audience stands.

“Why are Dad and Mom here too?”

Like a smear of green among the myriad of colorful flowers, Wang Che immediately noticed two familiar figures within the crowd.

As he looked on, the two of them were holding batons and shouting below at the stage.

However, they were wearing their masks and sunglasses, so it was impossible to tell what they were screaming about.

As he scanned around, Wang Che found many other recognizable figures.

Other than his classmates, on the higher viewing platform was Professor Yan, who had previously appeared at the soul beast research base.

Lin Xi and an old man were right beside him, conversing together…

Soon after, it was Wang Che’s turn.

He brought his green caterpillar along the long corridor of the competition venue. After the testing procedure, Wang Che arrived at the opposite platform.

It was clear that the third floor was larger and more spacious.

There was a circle of spectators surrounding the stage, and the place was filled with people. Most of them were students, and they came with their parents.

Not long after, there was a long, vicious cry.

“Caw!”

A large bird flew up from the other side.

The bird was covered in sea-blue feathered spikes. Its wings were spread out, sharp and long, while its tail was shaped like a cattail leaf fan. With a light glide, it soared freely in the sky.

The most eye-catching element was that scissors-like beak.

The Spike Gull!

Young and rare. Among the flying type soul pets, it excelled in attack and speed.

In the early stages of soul pets, especially at the limit of 100 year soul power cultivation, it was basically very difficult for any soul pet to land damage on it.

If it went against slightly weaker soul pets on the ground, it could easily defeat or even kill them at once.

Its killing intent caused many bug type soul pets to unconsciously shift their gazes away, not daring to look straight at it. The weaker ones started trembling.

“Are you scared?”

A fair-skinned and pretty girl wearing a baseball cap walked up.

It was the girl from the day before.

Wang Che didn’t answer. Instead, he glanced at the green caterpillar and asked, “Well, are you?”

“Ssss!”

The green caterpillar peeked at the Spike Gull who was soaring more than 20 meters high up in the sky.

Its voice was a little soft, showing that it was indeed a little afraid, and that it would be more careful during their battle later…

It was still a worm after all. Naturally, worms were terrified of birds.

However, compared to other bug type soul pets, the green caterpillar was performing much better.

At least, it still dared to voice out.

“This little one said that it’s not scary at all,” Wang Che nodded and said in a loud voice. “Not only is it fine, but it also thinks that the Spike Gull is trash. Bring it on, my caterpillar even wants to fight ten of them.”

The green caterpillar was horrified, its eyes round as saucers.

As expected, Wang Che’s voice was heard by the Spike Gull.

It roughly understood what he meant.

Cries filled the air.

Its gaze was fixed onto the green caterpillar, as if it was going to dive down and swoop it into its mouth in the next moment.

“Tch.”

Lin Yi laughed disdainfully, “Your green caterpillar is clearly anxious but you still want to anger my little gull. I’ll beat you up and make sure you’re utterly defeated later!”

Wang Che smiled but did not say anything. He calmly waited for the referee to give the order.

At the same time, on the observation deck on the third floor stood Professor Yan, another man with both eyes closed, and Lin Xi looking down from the high platform.

“How can he be so confident against the Spike Gull with just a mere green caterpillar?”

Lin Xi frowned slightly as she added, “Just the natural suppression alone should make it hard for the green caterpillar to last even two rounds… From the previous battle, it could only jump up to a height of less than ten meters. If it’s not that agile in the air, it won’t be able to attack the enemy. It can only take a beating… and wait for an opportunity to strike.”

“Lin Yi’s Spike Gull also has two soul skills… How can it win?”

Professor Yan stroked his beard and beamed, “There’s always a chance.”

“Professor, you think that highly of him?” Lin Xi was a little surprised as she asked.

“Not really. I just feel that this green caterpillar isn’t as ordinary as we think… This young man, Wang Che, isn’t who we think he is either,” Professor Yan stated.

“Oh? Old Yan, there’s actually someone who is worthy of your praise?”

The old man with his eyes shut looked like he was in his final years, but his voice was full of vigor.

“What about it, Blind Li?”

The impaired elder began with a smile, “I think the Spike Gull can finish off the green caterpillar in a minute. Why don’t we make a bet on the Phantasmal Magic Stone in your research base?”

“Good fellow, I was wondering why the sudden interest. So it turns out you’re after that item,” Professor Yan laughed.

He thought for a few seconds and saw that the match was about to begin. Then he coughed and continued, “This sort of old-fashioned gambling match is completely dull. We’ll embarrass ourselves in front of the juniors.”

“Cut the crap. Do you want to do it or not?”

“You’re on.”

Lin Xi was speechless as she noticed the two elders carrying out their gamble here.

However, she could tell from the stakes.

Based on their judgment, it was obvious that they had already predicted the outcome.

Either the Spike Gull defeats the caterpillar within a minute, or the green caterpillar stalls and wins after five minutes.

“Begin!”

The referee bellowed, and the battle started.

Right away, commands filled the air.

Lin Yi shouted, “Spike Gull, use Gust! Let’s end this right away!”

Gust. One of the ten-year attribute soul skills of a flying type soul pet. It utilizes its wings to generate a strong gale in the air!

It could almost take down weak creatures in an instant!

In this competition, as long as she used this move, she would be able to defeat any opposition instantly.

Not to mention a green caterpillar.

The Spike Gull flapped its wings, lowering its distance to a certain extent. Its wings began to glow as it thrashed them.

A savage hurricane swept towards the green caterpillar.

However, Wang Che seemed to have expected this. He closed his eyes and said slowly, “Jump up! Use your Spit Thread soul skill!”

His soul pet immediately jumped up when it heard his voice, reaching the air almost a second before the wind blew.

When it reached its highest point, a faint glimmer shone in its mouth.

Right after, like a sharp sword being unsheathed, a white thread shot towards the Spike Gull at an extremely rapid speed.

“So quick!”

Several exclamations could be heard in the hall.

In the blink of an eye, the thumb-sized thick thread was wrapped around one of the Spike Gull’s claws.

When Lin Yi saw this, she was shocked. She felt like this Spit Thread soul skill’s casting speed and accuracy were just too swift.

“Peck the thread with your beak!”

She reacted quickly and gave the order.

The bird immediately jabbed at the thread roping its feet with its incomparably sharp beak.

However, when its beak came into contact with the thread, only a vibration like a bouncing rubber band could be heard.

Thud!

It was impossible to slice through.

Furthermore, the slime on the thread prohibited the upper and lower jaws of the bird from opening.

As she watched this unfold, Lin Yi was a little stupefied.
