Chapter 50: Two Competitions, Moving Out!

Wang Che felt that the border was like a small settlement.

It was like another small world independent of the distant society of Skyheart City.

Wang Che turned around and looked ahead. He could no longer see Skyheart City.

There were many Contract Soul Masters wearing various soul devices and carrying huge weapons around.

Most of them did not have soul pets with them because they were all in their soul rings.

They would only be released in battle.

As people came and went, most of them were whispering to each other.

Some were waiting for their companions to gather as they cleaned their weapons in the meantime.

Some released their soul pets, feeding and comforting them.

Wang Che felt a special aura on them.

Sharp, cold, and silent

He shook his head slightly and followed the staff member. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the military base guarding the border.

There was armed personnel guarding the military base with loaded guns.

They were all Contract Soul Masters.

Before they even approached, he noticed special mechanical soul pets in the sky: Alert Eagles, circling and observing.

These Alert Eagles had all kinds of small soul devices installed on them that could monitor every movement in their surroundings.

At the same time, it possessed powerful offensive and air control abilities.

They were even more terrifying than drones.

When Wang Che walked to the entrance of the military base, he saw a soul pet as huge as a stone lion at the entranceThe Grave Suppression Hound.

It was fully armed.

Here, even soul pets carried various soul devices that Wang Che had never seen before. From afar, they were full of deterrence.

Good fellow, you're finally here! I was waiting for you!

As soon as he entered the door, a bright voice sounded from afar.

Wang Che looked towards the voice. A one-eyed man in a green-black military uniform was waving at the staff member.

Other than that, behind this man were three young students and their soul pets.

One man and two women.

They must be his companions on this trip.

This must be Wang Che, the champion of the Skyheart City's Enlightenment Cup. Oh my, it's really a green caterpillar

The one-eyed man immediately saw that behind Wang Che, was a green caterpillar entering the city looking all around.

Ever since the little guy left Skyheart City, it had been very excited and never stopped looking around.

This is Adjutant Li Jinghong. He will arrange everything for this wilderness adventure The staff member introduced.

Hello, Adjutant Li, Wang Che said with a smile.

The three students behind Adjutant Li looked at the green caterpillar with surprise.

The two girls' gazes landed on Wang Che, seemingly uninterested in the green caterpillar.

Alright, since we're all here, let's quickly register and set off.

Adjutant Li waved his hand, There's no time to waste.

After saying that, he brought Wang Che in for registration and handed over a small communication device.

Take this communication device with you. After entering the Floating Forest, don't leave the indicated range. This is used to track your location. If you encounter danger, press that red button. The Contract Soul Masters we have arranged here can save you in time.

The communication device was like a wristwatch. It was very convenient to wear.

Wang Che and the other three followed Adjutant Li into a modified military off-road vehicle.

After getting into the vehicle, Wang Che saw an old man in the back seat.

His eyes were closed as if he was a blind old man.

He was skinny and had white hair. He wore simple clothes and looked like a farmer.

With Wang Che's experience, he knew at a glance that this old man was not ordinary.

The old man closed his eyes and leaned to the side, taking a nap.

The male classmate suddenly asked, Adjutant Li, is this old man also coming with us?

Him? Don't worry about him. Adjutant Li coughed.

Oh The male classmate brought his soul pet to the side.

Oh right, I forgot to tell you something, Adjutant Li suddenly said. You have two competitions when entering the Floating Forest.

Two competitions? The male classmate suddenly asked in surprise.

Yes. Adjutant Li smiled and said, There are a total of 33 cities in the West Peak Continent. Every city has a champion of the Enlightenment Cup. They will all enter the Floating Forest from different locations to explore. Of course, within the huge Floating Forest, it's unlikely that you will meet.

Our West Peak Continent guards the military bases everywhere in the Floating Forest. We've prepared two small competitions for future Contract Soul Masters like you.

At this point, Adjutant Li gently tapped the communication device on his wrist.

A very interesting pattern immediately appeared.

It was a bright red flower.

Let's talk about the second competition first. After entering the Floating Forest, there's a type of flower called the Heart Rending Flower. It's usually accompanied by soul beasts like the Heart Rending Ant. It's definitely dangerous to obtain it.

Adjutant Li continued, The more you collect, the greater the reward you'll get. However, the precondition is that you must ensure your safety. I don't expect too much from your exploration. Pick up as many as you can.

You guys yourselves are still the key. After entering the Floating Forest, I suggest that you guys move together as companions. Of course, you can also choose to go alone.

Don't focus on the competition too much. After all, exploring the Soul Earth will allow you to obtain more good things.

In short, this kind of small competition was a reward for these high school students who entered the Soul Earth to explore.

Wang Che knew about soul beasts like the Heart Rending Ant.

They could be said to be very aggressive. Any human who dared to approach their nest would be attacked.

At the same time, their saliva had a strong numbing poison. In modern times, their saliva was processed into life-saving medicine for certain terminal illnesses.

However, because this soul beast was very difficult to tame and the saliva secreted by the artificial Heart Rending Ant could not be processedthey could only obtain it through the wilderness.

It was extremely strange.

As for the Heart Rending Flower, Wang Che did not know its use.

After leaving the range of Skyheart City, the communication signal became very poor. The speed at which he could search online was extremely slow.

Especially after driving beyond the huge wall, the signal was completely lost. Even basic communication could not be done.

Only the military communication devices provided by Adjutant Li still had a signal

The true wilderness adventure began after leaving the huge wall.

Wang Che saw a vast grassland, a true grassland.

It was different from the previous artificially cultivated forest.

After driving for a few hundred meters, the vehicle stopped.

From here, it's the wilderness. The entrance to the Floating Forest is about 50 miles away. I'll give you a map later, and you'll have to go to the Floating Forest yourself. The first competition, training and exploring, will begin now.

The goal is very simple. From here, the faster you arrive at the Floating Forest, the better the reward.

Adjutant Li said, You can ask me if you have any more questions. Tell me when you're ready.

If you plan on traveling together, it's best if you understand each other beforehand. Introduce your respective soul pets and soul skills.

I suggest that two of you should form a group each. If you can reach the entrance faster, you'll split the rewards equally. Adjutant Li spoke in detail.

He was probably very experienced since it was held every year.

Wang Che and the others asked a few simple questions.

For example, the number of days they had to explore the Floating Forest.

At the same time, he learned a little about his three companions.

It could be said that they were all either rich or noble.

That man looked pretty good. His name was Chen Fei, and he was tall with thin eyes. He had a rare soul petThunderbolt Eagle.

Thunderbolt Indeed, it was not an electric-type soul pet.

Instead, it was an extremely fast flying-type soul pet.

Second stage evolution, with 190 years of soul power cultivation.

The two girls were very good-looking. One of them had a particularly prominent figure that did not look like a high school student at all.

Her name was Cheng Cheng. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail and was wearing a traveler's attire specially used for adventures. She gave off a capable and experienced aura.

Her soul pet was also the rare kindGolden Thorn Grass.

Second stage evolution, with 200 years of soul power cultivation.

This grass-type soul pet could freely control its appearance and size.

Wang Che first discovered this when he saw it on the ponytail behind the girl

When it jumped down, it was only the size of a palm and looked quite cute.

However, it was not easy to deal with at all

The last girl had a relatively normal figure and was more beautiful. She looked like a weak young lady.

Her soul pet was also a rare kindRolling Rock Weasel.

Its soul power cultivation was more than 190 years.

Although Wang Che did not plan to travel with them, he still talked with these three a little.

After everything was prepared, facing the endless grassland, he pondered and planned to set off
