Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Chapter 28: You’re Shameless!

“They’re so weak!”

“There doesn’t seem to be many rare soul pets here today.”

“I saw quite a few powerful participants in the other zones!”

“They’re all from Zone Z, right? I somewhat remember them from when I came in to make an appointment. One of them has an extremely rare soul pet, the Wind Cuckoo. It’s the final evolved form of the Cuckoo Bird when it reaches 60 years of soul power cultivation.”

“It has only been a week since school started and yet, he has already managed to train an ordinary soul pet like the Cuckoo Bird into its final evolution with 60 years of cultivation base… That is way too overpowered…”

“However, that’s about the extent to the Wind Cuckoo’s potential. Although it has indeed evolved quite quickly, it seems to have reached its limit. It’ll only perform outstandingly in the Enlightenment Cup this time.

“It will be useless by the time the Three Cities New Star Cup is held during the graduation ceremony, and even more so in the future.”

“That’s nothing. I heard from my friends in First High that someone actually managed to raise a green caterpillar up to 50 years old just as school started.”

“Damn!”

“Awesome!”

“He’s foolish. Even after spending so much effort to raise the green caterpillar to 50 years, with its weak combat strength, it is still going to be defeated instantly… I will admit that it was no easy feat…”

Noisy chattering kept coming from every direction.

Eventually, the people in the waiting area directed their gazes to the green caterpillar crawling beside Wang Che.

Though he noticed that they were being stared at, Wang Che simply ignored the onlooking participants and glanced at the time. It was time for him to go on stage.

After smiling kindly at the chatting contestants, he made his way into the arena.

The competition venue for the Enlightenment Club looked quite similar to the Tianyue Club’s battle stage.

Meanwhile, in the stands around Zone J, two figures wearing sunglasses and masks quietly walked up.

“Hubby, we came to watch his competition without our son’s knowledge. Will he be angry if he finds out?”

“No, I believe that there is something special about that green caterpillar. No matter how weak it is, our son won’t be eliminated in the first round. We’ll still be able to cheer for him.”

“That makes sense. So why are we still wearing our sunglasses and face masks?”

“It’s not like I’m afraid of Little Che finding out that we’re here. The sun is just too bright after all, it blinds my eyes.”

“…Look! Little Che is going on stage now! There’s his first opponent. Hey, hey, hey, I recognize this soul pet! It looks like a Bell Flower!”

“Bell Flower, mm, let me check. It’s a grass type soul pet. Since insects eat flowers and grass, I think the green caterpillar should be able to beat the Bell Flower with ease. This match is sealed!”

Father Wang and Mother Wang muttered to themselves.

At that moment, unable to contain himself anymore, a second-year student who had overheard their entire conversation interrupted.

“Uncle and Auntie, the Bell Flower is a soul pet with a species potential value of 150. It’s far higher than that of the green caterpillar. Looking at this Bell Flower in the arena now, its soul power seems to be close to around 40 years old. On top of that, its strength, speed, and physique look very well rounded as well. Later, you’ll see that when it’s attacked, it will emit a ‘flower sound’. It’s a natural characteristic that allows it to disperse various larvae.

“It’ll be impossible for a green caterpillar to restrain a Bell Flower…”

Upon hearing this, Father Wang and Mother Wang began to feel a little embarrassed.

At that moment, the next match began.

On stage.

Wang Che brought the green caterpillar onto the arena and kept his eyes on his opponents.

Bell Flower.

“Hehe, handsome, your soul pet is a green caterpillar. It’s fat and chubby, but very cute.”

His opponent was a cute and petite-looking girl.

Wang Che smiled and nodded at her. “So?”

“All contestants, please take your positions,” the referee in the middle announced in between coughs.

Just as the match was about to begin, the girl suddenly said, “I’ll admit defeat if you give me your contact details.”

The referee almost fell over when heard this.

He cursed in his heart…

“That won’t do,” Wang Che shook his head as he replied solemnly.

“Why? Am I not cute enough for you?” The girl pouted and asked. “I’m letting you win.”

“You can let me win if you want, but I can’t give you my contact details.”

“D*mn, you’re shameless!” The girl, clearly taken aback by Wang Che’s words, rambled on, “You want to win, but you won’t offer anything in return? How does that make sense?!”

“It can’t be helped. Your cuteness is no match for my looks,” Wang Che replied bluntly.

“F*ck!” The girl was instantly enraged when she heard that.

These words were too insulting.

“Begin!” the referee ordered.

“Go for it!” Wang Che instructed calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the green caterpillar rushed out with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the Bell Flower.

The green caterpillar, which was almost 80 centimeters in length, looked quite sturdy.

In comparison, the 40 or 50 centimetres tall Bell Flower was puny!

Without wasting a moment, the green caterpillar quickly wrapped itself around the Bell Flower like a coiling dragon, as if it had already planned this move.

Then, after steadying itself, the caterpillar swung its body to throw the Bell Flower out of the competition stage. It landed on the ground far away from where it had previously stood.

The entire process took only a few seconds.

“So quick!” The judge watching exclaimed.

Even the cute girl was still frozen in place, unable to react.

After a few seconds of silence, the referee glanced at Wang Che and announced slowly, “Stage 8, No. 23 wins!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Che stretched out his arms lazily and waved at the green caterpillar before walking down the stage.

“What… what happened?” The girl, who had just snapped awake, started to tremble violently.

How did the green caterpillar move so quickly just now?

It was 80 centimeters long. Could it be that the green caterpillar has a soul power cultivation of over seventy years?

No, even if it did, it still couldn’t be this fast…

Just like the girl, the absurd speed had also caught most of the audience off guard.

She continued to rack her brains for an answer as she made her way down the stage…

Meanwhile, on the viewing platform.

“Our son is awesome!”

Father Wang laughed and exclaimed, “See, I told you this green caterpillar is amazing!”

“F*ck! Is this guy the ruthless person from First High who raised his green caterpillar to 50 years old?”

The second-year student next to Father Wang was stunned as well. “No wonder… No wonder this green caterpillar is so strong. It must have seventy years of cultivation already… The difference in soul power cultivation is over thirty years, so it’s no wonder that the Bell Flower couldn’t react in time… But this speed…”

“Let’s go, let’s check out the next match. There are at least three matches on the first day, so it means there are still two more after this. Let’s see which stage it is…”

Mother Wang dragged Father Wang out of the stands, leaving the confused student behind.

At that moment, Wang Che had just walked off the stage, and was feeling indifferent.

His victory was inevitable after all.

As if suddenly remembering something, Wang Che pulled out his phone and opened up the class chat group.

Immediately, a multitude of wails could be seen.

“Defeated in my first battle, slain by a young feathered eagle.”

“I won! Hehe!”

“They’re all so strong. My Cottony almost lost.”

“Even though it’s just the first round, most contestants already have a soul power cultivation of 30 years or more. It’s actually not that bad. However, there’s a Fire Meow with a soul power cultivation of 60 years over in Zone H. It’s practically a bloodbath there, with our large group of grass type soul pets facing it.”

“Trash, Goddess Xi’s Cloud Cap Snake already has almost eighty years of soul power cultivation now.”

When he saw this message, Wang Che began to shake his head silently. This Cloud Cap Snake was indeed an extremely precious soul pet; its growth rate was incredibly fast.

For the past seven days, the green caterpillar had been eating moon birch milk leaves, which was one grade higher than the white birch milk leaf that it normally had. Even with its new diet and the Beast Origin Skill, it was still unable to catch up to the Cloud Cap Snake’s cultivation speed.

After closing the chat group, Wang Che decided to rest for a while before heading out again.

It was still Zone J, but this time on Stage 1 instead.

The opponent this time was quite interesting.

It was a Triangular Rock Beast.

Triangular Rock, a mountainous rock type soul pet. Its unparalleled defense has made it the nightmare of all young soul pets.

In the early stages, especially when soul pets had yet to learn a single soul skill, it would be very difficult to deal any significant damage to it with just conventional attacks…
