Chapter 30: Battle for the Zone Winner

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

If you haven't lost by the last round tomorrow, you'll face me, the girl said.

Why? Wang Che asked.

Because the Enlightenment Cup is sponsored by Dino Tech, and I am the niece of the company's CEO. So, you will definitely meet me there.

Wang Che was utterly speechless.

Seriously

Was she really saying that out loud?

So? he asked as he turned to look at her.

My surname is Lin, and Lin Xi is my sister. I heard that she lost to you, she revealed. When the time comes, I will teach you a lesson.

You have a sister complex? Wang Che provoked, glancing at her.

Eh You actually managed to see through the secret in the depths of my heart, she said in mock surprise.

You don't look like your sister at all, he commented, shaking his head.

What do you mean? she pressed on.

Your sister is a normal person, he noted as he stared at her. But you aren't normal.

Haha.

The girl laughed in response, but she wasn't angry.

You don't believe me, do you? Why don't you take a test? Wang Che asked casually. A test for mental illness. If the results come back normal, I'll willingly admit defeat. How about that?

Sure, the girl answered while supporting her chin with her hand as she gazed at Wang Che strictly. I want to see what you're up to.

He nodded and grinned as he began, I filled a bathtub with water. There's also a basin with a small spoon in it. The thing is, you have to get rid of the water in the bathtub. What do you think a normal person would do?

That simple? The girl scoffed, Can't you just scoop the water out of the bathtub with the basin? You can use a spoon instead if there's not much water.

Then, she turned back at Wang Che smugly.

Wrong. A regular person would just pull out the plug at the bottom of the bathtub, he answered complacently.

She was stunned for a long time.

Wang Che stood up and left. As he was leaving, he commented, Remember I said you aren't normal? Hurry up and get a check at the hospital. It seems like you do have a serious mental problem.

She considered it for a long time before contacting her private doctor.

After the doctor listened to her, he explained, Ahem Miss, that's not a standard mental test question. It was just a simple joke There's nothing wrong with you, but you really shouldn't have asked me

F*ck!

She blushed and shouted angrily.

Soon after, the afternoon's competition began.

Wang Che took this championship lightly.

The opponents in the afternoon match were much more elementary, and he finished off the battles quickly.

Just based on soul power cultivation alone, no matter how strong a soul pet was, it was fundamentally impossible for them to beat his current green caterpillar.

On the first day, after three rounds, more than 800 people were eliminated, and there were only about 100 people left.

The next day was even more arduous.

The third day was the most intense. Only a dozen people would remain to compete for the top ten ranking.

Wang Che was conserving his energy.

Early the next morning, they arrived at the gymnasium.

Although most of the participants had been eliminated on the first day, the audience in the stadium only increased in size.

This was because those who had been eliminated had all gone to the spectator area.

In the class group chat, there was even more wailing and buzz.

Teacher Zheng: Those who got through to the second day, type 1'. I want to see how many of you are there.

After a long pause, only one person had responded.

Then, two more appeared.

Teacher Zheng: Three? Not bad, you're the best batch of students I've ever taught. Lin Xi, what about you?

Lin Xi: 1. I got a free pass yesterday, so I managed to get to the second day.

Teacher Zheng: Very good. Right, what about you, Wang Che?

Wang Che: 1.

Teacher Zheng: Wow, the green caterpillar actually got to this point. That's impressive. If you persevere for another round today, you will be able to secure your position in the top hundred. The higher the ranking, the better the reward. I look forward to that!

The other students chimed in with their messages.

Wang Che, you really didn't get eliminated?

A green caterpillar with 70 years of cultivation! Its soul power cultivation level is overwhelming! How strong and unreasonable!

Something doesn't feel right. Can a green caterpillar even be this capable?

I've watched the competitions. Brother Che's green caterpillar is ridiculously strong It's like a centipede among its own.

Today might be difficult The competitors remaining typically have a soul pet cultivation above 50 years, sometimes around 60 years. The soul power difference is no longer vast.

The matches today will determine the trump cards of 26 zones. The third round will be the battles between them from each region. There are no free passes this time. This round is the only one that doesn't have them since the rules of this year's competition have changed slightly.

Wang Che scanned around and didn't pay much attention.

He was in Zone J.

There were fewer contestants in this area, so there were only four left. It was obvious that no one was getting a free pass.

Their numbers were 3, 9, 11, and 23.

In the first round, Wang Che's opponent was No. 11.

Compared to the day before, the crowd in Zone J was distinctively larger than the other districts.

They had all basically gathered here for Wang Che.

You should be using your soul power today.

Wang Che said as he patted the green caterpillar on the head.

Ssss!

It nodded.

It did not even equip its soul power the day before.

It had gotten through solely relying on brute force.

However, it would be rather difficult if it were to do the same today. Wang Che scanned his surroundings and noticed that the other three competitors' soul pets all had over 50 years of cultivation base.

One of them was more than 60 years.

If one learned a soul skill, they could be considered to have the potential to be within the top ten rankings.

No. 11's soul pet was an Explosive Fruit.

The Explosive Fruit was a grass type soul pet. It had an explosive soul skill innately, and the mucus produced from the explosion would cause the enemy to lose its fighting strength and remain in a weak state for a long period of time.

It would then take at least half a day for the injured soul pet to recover.

This soul pet was very disgusting.

It looked like a harmless orange with two leaves on its bald head, and it looked really confused when it squinted its eyes.

Among the regular soul pets, this was the nastiest.

The referee peeked at Wang Che worriedly and waved his flag.

Begin!

The Explosive Fruit's soul skill was inborn, so naturally, it was easy for it to comprehend, just like the green caterpillar's Spit Thread.

The green caterpillar was capable of spitting silk, so it was relatively easy for it to develop this soul skill as long as it had the soul power cultivation base.

However, the exact power was hard to estimate.

The Explosive Fruit's organic soul skill was not only tough but also repulsive.

The moment the match started, No. 11 calmly gave his order.

Explode!

With a loud bang, the orange erupted.

Pale yellow slime rained and scattered across the entire venue.

At the same time, Wang Che shouted.

Muster your soul power and jump!

He immediately blurted it as if he had already expected this attack.

The green caterpillar's tail pushed itself up like a spring. Its flexible body allowed it to soar instantly.

It was at least ten meters up in the air!

Endless mucus droplets flew past it.

The audience was bewildered.

They were not just shocked that the opponent had exploded, but were also astonished that a green caterpillar actually had the ability to fly.

On the audience platform, Yuan Xiaole smiled and said, I'm dying of laughter. Brother Che's green caterpillar is supreme. You're trying to harm it with such a small trick? Dream on!

However, his soul pet seems to be getting stronger gradually. It's ridiculous for it to jump so high

No one would have expected it to avoid the offensive in such a way.

Self-destructing at the start? Tsk It seems like there's something fishy going on, Yuan Xiaole muttered as he shook his head.

This was a soul skill that would hurt the soul pet using it.

It would cause both sides to suffer heavy losses. The Explosive Fruit's strength was not of the same standard. Even if it could not defeat the green caterpillar, there was no need for it to turn into a suicide bomb.

It could have initially fought as usual. If it realized that it was losing its chances of winning, only then should it self-destruct and eliminate both parties.

The referee who was already far away immediately announced.

Victory to No. 23!

Wang Che walked off the stage and brought the little one to the Soul Pet Recovery Center to recuperate.

Although it had managed to avoid most of the mucus, there were still a few drops that got stuck on its body. However, these were not so hindering.

Soon after, the second round of the competition commenced.

It was the fight to determine Zone J's regional ruler, therefore this match was crucial.

Wang Che's next competitor was No. 9.

No. 9 had a soul pet that had already completed its second stage of evolution. Its soul power cultivation had reached 60 years and it was considered a rare soul pet Triangular Hard Rock.

It was as if it was a revenge match; This Triangular Hard Rock soul pet seemed to be avenging the Triangular Rock that Wang Che had beaten instantly
