Chapter 233 The Little Caterpillar’s Strengthening Training, That Mountain
At the exit.
Shen Mingluan and the others looked at w.a.n.g Che. Because their minds were temporarily blank, they were very silent.
When they returned to their senses, their expressions were… interesting.
w.a.n.g Che did not expect Shen Mingluan and the others to still be here.
!!
He thought that they would leave early if they could not wait
Shen Mingluan walked over and sized up w.a.n.g Che, especially when she saw that he was energetic. For a moment, she was in a daze. “You’re… fine?” Shen Mingluan asked. “Not bad.” w.a.n.g Che thought for a few seconds, “I encountered some danger midway, but it was resolved.” They had indeed encountered danger.
They encountered a few berserk lightning soul beasts and were attracted.
Fortunately, the little caterpillar had already been taught a lesson by w.a.n.g Che and did not sleep until it was full.
It exerted all its strength to beat back the few berserk lightning soul beasts. The other danger was the Lightning Hyacinth self.
Every time he cultivated, he had to catch a batch of Lightning Hyacinths. The previous few times, the Lightning Hyacinths resisted especially strongly and felt extremely resistant to being captured and used.
They resisted with all their might! It… created a better cultivation effect for the Magnetic Sword.
Later on, the Lightning Hyacinths were a little numb.
When the little caterpillar grabbed them, they did not resist at all. It could not be helped. This was life. If one could not resist, they could only enjoy… This was probably the only danger w.a.n.g Che could think of. “Why are you fine after staying for so long?” Tian Xiaoyu had an expression as if she had seen a ghost soul pet, “After such a long time, what are you doing here?” “Cultivate,” w.a.n.g Che replied honestly, “Cultivate the Magnetic Sword and let the green caterpillar practice its resistance to lightning.” “Train the green caterpillar’s resistance to lightning?” Tian Xiaoyu couldn’t help but cry out, “Junior, your behavior is very problematic. A cute soul pet like the green caterpillar is innately afraid of lightning. If you train its resistance to lightning… is that little fellow okay?” This training was too… harsh.
w.a.n.g Che pointed at the green caterpillar behind him and asked, “How do you feel about this cultivation? Do you feel very good?” The green caterpillar did not feel good.
It had indeed endured a lot of lightning. Because they fought with many berserk lightning soul pets, their cultivation wasn’t high, but after going berserk, they didn’t recognize anyone. It was very difficult to fight.
Even if it used the Force of Nature to resist, it could still resist the Lightning Hyacinth’s lightning However, it was difficult against those berserk soul beasts.
Sometimes, it would be electrocuted until its entire body turned black. However, w.a.n.g Che had the Life Hand.
It recovered very quickly. Hmm, it was very comfortable. Shen Mingluan looked at the little caterpillar.
The little caterpillar and w.a.n.g Che looked at each other. Under the threat of snacks and storybooks, it finally nodded happily. (0)
“Look, it feels very good,” w.a.n.g Che said, “It also said that it wants to come here to cultivate again.” “…” The green caterpillar. Shen Mingluan pondered for a few seconds and felt that the green caterpillar seemed a little unwilling “As expected of the champion caterpillar.” Tian Xiaoyu was speechless, “This cultivation method is simply unbearable for other soul beasts.”
“Actually, it’s not difficult to stay inside for a long time,” w.a.n.g Che said. “Although the lightning will descend from time to time, it can be predicted based on the number of Lightning Hyacinths. If you don’t want to encounter the lightning, you should stay away from the Lightning Hyacinths. Although the lightning energy inside is very rich, it’s not too exaggerated. You guys won’t stay for long. It should be easier for the Lightning Hyacinths to follow you.”
“Then, it will attract Heavenly Lightning, causing the lightning energy in the surroundings to increase greatly. At the same time, it will be easier to attract other soul beasts.”
“By avoiding it reasonably, it can stay for a long time.” “But the Lightning Hyacinth is so annoying.” Tian Xiaoyu sighed, “We understand everything you’re saying, but there are too many Lightning Hyacinths. It’s very troublesome to get close.”
“Really?” w.a.n.g Che said, “I think the Lightning Hyacinth is quite cute.”
Without the Lightning Hyacinth, the efficiency of this cultivation would greatly decrease!
“How is it cute?” Tian Xiaoyu was speechless, “This soul beast is floating in the air. If you hit it, it will run. If you don’t hit it, it will follow above your head and attract lightning. It’s super annoying.” “If I use a flying-type soul pet and accidentally get struck by lightning, the power will be simply incredible. Even Sister Luan’s Glazed Green Luan won’t dare to casually fly into the air to attack them.” Shen Mingluan nodded. That was the truth.
Most Contract Soul Masters did not stay inside for long. Other than the environment inside, they were afraid of being affected by the lightning inside. If any lightning struck, even if it was not struck, it would be greatly affected. The Lightning Hyacinth was especially difficult to deal with for them.
“Actually, the Lightning Hyacinth is quite easy to resolve,” w.a.n.g Che said. “How?” Shen Mingluan was curious. “The Lightning Hyacinths here are all evolved from the Lightning Root Dolls in the wilderness.” w.a.n.g Che smiled and said, “What’s your impression of the Lightning Root Doll?” “The Lightning Root Doll is different from Lightning Hyacinth,” Tian Xiaoyu immediately said. “It’s a very cute baby! It won’t look good after evolution!” “Actually, Lightning Hyacinth followed the Contract Soul Masters because they view this place as their sacred ground,” w.a.n.g Che said. “The Contract Soul Masters who enter this place all like to chase them away. However, in fact, they should be the ones chasing us away.”
“Therefore, don’t attack them unless you can subdue their entire group.” “Once you attack them, they will follow closely and attack you.” “The next time you come, if you can’t subdue them, refine some simple lightning soul pets’ favorite snacks.” w.a.n.g Che suggested, “Let them be friendly to you so that they won’t attract lightning to attack you. Someone should discover this problem soon.” Shen Mingluan understood immediately.
That was indeed the case!
The Thunder Inner Area would allow the Lightning Root Doll to evolve. It would be fine if the human Contract Soul Master did not attack them after entering this place.
If it still wanted to drive them away, it would be strange if the Lightning Hyacinth did not continue attacking. Therefore, the more they chased it away, the worse the effect.
“Why didn’t I think of that!” Tian Xiaoyu patted her head, “I happened to gather some soul plants related to lightning in there this time. I’ll pack some snacks when I go back. Next time, we can stay longer and gather more materials.”
Shen Mingluan pondered for a few seconds and looked at w.a.n.g Che. She could not help but ask, “So, you can stay inside for so long because you’re very friendly with those Lightning Hyacinth? They won’t follow you at all?” “Yes, it’s very high,” w.a.n.g Che said. “As soon as they see me, they go far away.” It could not be helped. He had caught too many.
Although the Lightning Hyacinths, which were seen by w.a.n.g Che, did not resist, the rest ran far away so that w.a.n.g Che would not discover them.
“No wonder!” Shen Mingluan understood and couldn’t help but purse his lips and smile, “In terms of training soul pets, no one in our academy can compare to you. Hmm… if you have time, can you take a look at my Glazed Green Luan? Guide it?”
“I want it too, I want it too!” Tian Xiaoyu’s face was covered in tears, “Junior, please guide the seniors in training their soul pets! Up until now, the life bond between me and the Wind Whisper Eagle has not reached A-grade. I feel like there’s still something lacking.” “It’s not like your green caterpillar which can communicate telepathically with you.” “I can’t really guide you.” w.a.n.g Che said, “Let’s exchange our experience in training soul pets instead.”
Students in the agriculture major were not bad at training soul pets, but they were not good at it.
He chatted with the seniors.
Then, they bade farewell and agreed to communicate with each other about the experience of training soul pets.
In the evening, w.a.n.g Che returned to school and the wooden house.
He had gained a lot from his first trip to the Thunder Inner Area.
After this high-intensity cultivation, the Magnetic Sword’s Heavenly Lightning Sword Force had already reached perfection. It was only a step away from the Heavenly Lightning Sword Intent.
Its cultivation increased greatly.
After six cultivation sessions, its body’s strength had increased by too much. Its body had also acc.u.mulated more Heavenly Lightning As for the little caterpillar, well, it went to fight. Ever since the Little Tool Worm learned the Object Control Technique, it had become even more useful.
The use of the Force of Nature was also more proficient in actual combat. Especially the five different life forces in its body, they could form five different types of natural power.
This practical use and battle allowed it to gain many insights. It should comprehend the Power of Awakening soon. it was still not enough!
At the same time, he collected a large number of materials that contained lightning energy from the Thunder Inner Area, although most of the quality was ordinary.
There were no soul plants.
The soil of that environment was not suitable for soul plants to grow. However, he found some nuclear stones.
Some nuclear stones could even reach the level of a soul stone.
The soul stone corresponded to soul plants, but the soul stone could not be planted like soul plants.
It could only be produced naturally. Although there were not many, it was enough to refine a batch of staple food for the Magnetic Sword.
The cultivation direction of the Magnetic Sword was different from the little caterpillar.
It only contained pure mechanical life force.
The Heavenly Lightning was only stored in the body through cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture. Therefore, it was not like the little caterpillar. Although food was also very expensive, it relied more on Heavenly Lightning to cultivate.
After returning to the wooden house, the little caterpillar hurried to its farm and planted the seeds of various crops.
It also planted medicinal herbs in the medicinal field.
Loosening the soil, planting, watering, and accelerated ripening.
It was done in one go.
The little caterpillar looked at the tender seedlings and smiled in satisfaction.
It was still easy to farm. Lying in the field, the little caterpillar looked up at the starry sky and enjoyed this moment of peace. The fatigue from the various battles and lightning resistance training in the Thunder Inner Area during the day was forgotten.
w.a.n.g Che did not disturb it.
This was actually a process of comprehension. “I wonder if this little guy will get tired of farming.” w.a.n.g Che pondered and said, “Even if it does, it’ll become a habit when the time comes. In two weeks, the acc.u.mulated medicinal herbs should be able to refine a spirit pill with that Poison Treasure.”
“In the next few days, I have to let it condense the Five Elements Soul Essence. I also have to bring up its thousand-year soul skill.”
“The requirement is not high. Just condense one type of Five Elements Soul Essence per month.”
It was relatively difficult to condense the Five Elements Soul Essence.
It had to fuse the different energies within its body.
If one was not careful, it would be very dangerous.
With the little caterpillar’s talent, w.a.n.g Che was still rather worried.
He hoped that it could try more in the dream realm.
“The little caterpillar has yet to learn soul skills of the ground, flying, and water-type attributes.”
w.a.n.g Che lay on the bed and pondered quietly, “I have to find a chance to let it learn a suitable soul skill. However, if it learns another three attributes’ soul skills, won’t it be too stressful for the little caterpillar?”
w.a.n.g Che got up and glanced at the little caterpillar who was resting in the field. “Hmm, it shouldn’t be big.” w.a.n.g Che thought about it, “With the strength of the little caterpillar’s dream realm, it can handle it.”
On second thought, after reaching a thousand years of soul power cultivation,
it had to condense the Five Elements Soul Essence, advance a thousand-year soul skill, learn three types of soul skills, and comprehend the Power of Awakening.
Most importantly, there was the s.p.a.ce-type soul skill.
After eating the spatial leaf for more than a month, the little caterpillar also had some spatial energy and dragon-type energy in its body.
The source of dragon-type life force was the bloodline power of the Sky G.o.d Dragon. However, the increase in dragon-type life force was relatively slow because it only entered the true caterpillar form once a week. Only when it entered would it inherit a little bloodline.
With this calculation, the little caterpillar’s training was very important. It was like entering junior high from elementary school. There were even more missions to learn.
Hmm, they were all experiences of growth.
The little caterpillar seemed to sense w.a.n.g Che’s gaze and turned around to look at him. It smiled comfortably.
(0* *0) w.a.n.g Che waved at it and said, “I’ll add another chapter for you today.” The little caterpillar jumped up and ran back to the wooden house to wash up.
It placed the snacks aside and rolled them into its nest.
Then, it called out to w.a.n.g Che.
What special occasion was it today?
“There’s no such thing,” w.a.n.g Che said. “In the next week, I’ll add two more chapters every day. We’ll begin intensive training in a week.”
The little caterpillar’s eyes immediately lit up.
It was too naive to understand the meaning of intensive training.
It would enjoy the moment first!
“Ssss!”
The little caterpillar let out an excited cry.
The next week, the little caterpillar lived comfortably.
e
Every day, it would leisurely farm and harvest a wave of crops every few days. Five different flavors of staple food ensured that it was full. It had already adapted to daily training. It could still play with the Magnetic Sword for a few hours every day and listen to w.a.n.g Che tell stories at night. These days were too comfortable. Just like that, on the first day of the new week.
“From today onwards,” w.a.n.g Che coughed and said, “We’re about to begin intensive training.”
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar hissed.
“Come on, come on!
It felt that it was already very strong.
“For the training this time…” w.a.n.g Che glanced at it, “As long as you complete it quickly, you will have more time to play. But if you complete it slowly, you might not be able to play for a day.” “Of course, it won’t delay your daily farming.” The little caterpillar thought about it and felt that this was a good thing! It should have more time to play in the future, right? “The first project.” w.a.n.g Che said, “Raging Flame Strike, one kilometer. At the same time, crush a black-gold steel plate.”
“???”
Hearing the first project, the little caterpillar was stunned.
This training program seemed to be a little difficult.
“Then, the second project is to use Energy Bomb.”
w.a.n.g Che said, “Fight me. Make sure the Energy Bomb detonates and hits me at a fixed time. Then, it will be completed. After comprehending the Time Controlled Bomb, this project will end.”
The little caterpillar glanced at w.a.n.g Che and thought about it. It felt that it was not difficult.
It was just one hit.
How simple was that?
The little caterpillar nodded.
“The third training program requires the use of different energies to combine with the Insect Web and trap me once.” w.a.n.g Che said, “It only needs to succeed one time. The training program will end there. You can play however you want.”
The little caterpillar nodded again, feeling that this was not difficult.
“The fourth training program is to use the Insect Thread to wrap around any part of my body. It can also wrap around a finger.” w.a.n.g Che continued
“Ssss!”
The little caterpillar felt that it was too simple.
“The fifth project is to play hide and seek. Use Insect Concealment within a thousand meters of me. If I can’t find you in half an hour, I’ll
pa.s.s.”
‘This is fine’, the little caterpillar thought.
“For the sixth project, I’ve found a small mountain for you. Use Insect Voice. When the time comes, I’ll teach you a move. When you can use Insect Voice to crack that small mountain, the training will be completed.”
This should be a little difficult. How could Insect Voice shatter a small mountain?
But that was not a problem. The little caterpillar thought about it and felt that this small mountain was at most dozens of meters tall.
“The seventh project is to condense the soul power in your body and the five different types of life force through cultivating the Nature Visualization Method to condense a stronger and more stable Five Elements Soul Essence. For every condensation, there will be an additional chapter every day.” The little caterpillar thought this was quite difficult.
It was a long-term training program. It could try every day. Moreover, the reward for this project was very good!
“The eighth project is to learn some of the basic ten-year soul skills I’ve prepared for you. This is relatively simple for you because you have a dream realm, right?” This was even simpler.
1S
“The ninth project, follow me to comprehend nature and learn the Power of Awakening.”
This was not difficult. After all, the proficiency of the Force of Nature was already maxed.
w.a.n.g Che listed many projects for the little caterpillar. Hearing many things, the little caterpillar felt that they were actually very simple. “Now, let’s practice the Raging Flame Strike.” w.a.n.g Che said, “If you want to advance to the Explosive Flame Stomp, you first have to understand the power of the Explosive Flame Stomp. This is a move that has both speed and strength. At the same time, it also has a powerful attribute attack. When you step forward, it will be like a mountain pressing down. You can use your entire body burning with flames to trample your opponent into meat paste.”
“Your Raging Flame Strike proficiency has already reached the max level. However, if you want to advance to the Explosive Flame Stomp, it’s not enough. You need to break through the upper limit. Strike at high speed for a kilometer every day, then go to the training room of the academy and practice with the black-gold steel.” In essence, the advancement of a soul skill was to break through the upper limit of proficiency. During the process of breaking through, one would comprehend a new soul skill.
It was naturally not easy to break through.
The mountain was huge.
There were many areas suitable for soul pets
There were many areas suitable for soul pets to train at high speed.
Normal high-speed training was not difficult.
However, it was very difficult to use a soul skill to charge at high speed.
It consumed soul power and required control over the soul skill.
It could be done perfectly in a short period of time, but as time pa.s.sed, no matter how high the proficiency was, it was easy to make mistakes.
w.a.n.g Che needed the little caterpillar to maintain this speed so that it could advance more easily.
In the morning, before the sky lit up, w.a.n.g Che brought the little caterpillar to the training area.
Because it was too early, there was no human or soul pet around.
It was very suitable for training. The little caterpillar felt that this was not difficult. Its entire body began to burn as it used the Raging Flame Strike and charged out like a flame.
However, it felt a little tired after just a mile.
High-speed movement was different from stillness.
When it was still, the little caterpillar could very steadily control the flames on its body. After all, it had helped w.a.n.g Che refine so many staple foods and pills.
However, it was very difficult to maintain high-speed movements for a long time.
Fortunately, its proficiency was very high, so a kilometer was not considered long.
It was barely completed.
It was nothing to feel a little tired.
It did not take long.
That was all!
The little caterpillar thought.
Then, w.a.n.g Che brought the little caterpillar to the training room used by the school.
There were various high-end equipment here that could allow thousand-year soul beasts to undergo soul pet soul skill advancement training.
Black-gold steel was a special equipment.
This steel plate was extremely resistant to high temperatures, was indestructible, and had a high degree of recovery.
It was very useful for training various strength techniques.
A square black-gold steel plate looked inconspicuous.
“Use the Raging Flame Strike to charge over and trample it.”
w.a.n.g Che said, “Pay attention to the circuits in your body. When you’re trampling, you need to change them. Pour all your soul power into your limbs and feet.”
The little caterpillar nodded and used the Raging Flame Strike to trample on the black-gold steel plate.
Then… there was no mark left.
The little caterpillar was stunned.
It remembered that the purpose of this project was to crush a black-gold steel plate.
“There’s no hurry. It’s enough to leave a mark.” w.a.n.g Che slowly said, “Train for an hour first.”
The little caterpillar heaved a sigh of relief.
An hour later.
The little caterpillar was so tired that it did not want to move.
The black-gold steel plate finally had a small mark.
The little caterpillar was immediately excited.
“This is the first project today.”
w.a.n.g Che said, “But it hasn’t been crushed yet, so we have to continue tomorrow.”
The little caterpillar felt that something was wrong, but it could not say what it was.
However, the next three to four projects were all against w.a.n.g Che.
The little caterpillar immediately felt that this should be relatively easy.
The second project was to control the Energy Bomb and detonate it on w.a.n.g Che at a fixed time.
“When casting the Energy Bomb, use the Object Control Technique to make the Energy Bomb more agile. At the same time, learn to control the gra.s.s energy and soul power of the bomb. Time Controlled Bomb is not to control time, but to control soul power. It can detonate the Energy Bomb at any time and make the enemy unable to guard against it.”
“The range of the explosion is very large, so it’s relatively easy to hit me once.”
The little caterpillar thought so too.
Then…
Two hours later.
The little caterpillar lay motionless on the ground.
It looked at the unharmed w.a.n.g Che in confusion.
It felt that it had already tried very hard, but it still could not hit w.a.n.g Che once.
“That’s all for the second project. Your control of the Energy Bomb is still not perfect. If you want to break through the upper limit, you still need to comprehend more and think about how to control your soul power to detonate it.”
“Do you understand?”
The little caterpillar nodded.
“Rest for half an hour, eat lunch, go back to the wooden house to water the crops and accelerate their ripening. Then, we’ll begin the third and fourth projects.”
These two programs were the use of the Insect Web and Thread.
Its proficiency had reached the maximum.
Needless to say, it was naturally ridiculously powerful.
The thread was mainly to strengthen the little caterpillar’s use of the Object Control Technique.
The Insect Web needed to advance.
The two projects were trained for three hours.
“The Insect Web didn’t hit once.”
w.a.n.g Che pointed out the little caterpillar’s lack of training, “Among the five elements in your body, the flying energy can make the Insect Web even lighter. The ground energy can make the Insect Web as heavy as a mountain and crush the enemy. The gra.s.s energy can make the Insect Web full of life. The water energy can make the Insect Web even more flexible and difficult to break. The fire energy can cause serious damage to the enemy. Look, it’s not even used properly.”
“Regarding the Insect Thread, your Object Control Technique has not reached the stage where you can use it freely. Otherwise, you would have been able to hit me once.”
The little caterpillar pondered.
“Alright, the fifth project. Use Insect Concealment now and hide within a thousand meters of me within half an hour.”
w.a.n.g Che said, “You have to control your soul aura well and hide. If you can sneak attack me, you’ll pa.s.s this project.”
The little caterpillar thought about it. It could not possibly not complete this project, right?
Then… w.a.n.g Che found it in ten minutes.
He found it on the leaves of a tree.
Insect Concealment could not block mental perception.
On the other hand, Insect Concealment’s advanced soul skill, Insect Elimination, could.
However, it was very difficult to comprehend this move through advanced training. A soul skill comprehended through training was stronger than a soul skill learned from the soul skill secret carving.
“You’re already very familiar with the Aura Concealment Technique. Your mental strength is also very strong, but why was I still able to find it?”
w.a.n.g Che said, “Because although your mental strength is strong, your control over it is very weak. You need to control your mental strength. Otherwise, no matter how far you run and hide deeper in this project, my mental strength will sense you.”
“When you can control your mental strength, I’ll teach you a Divine Beast Art and teach you how to cultivate mental strength.”
The little caterpillar nodded and continued to think.
“Alright, let’s go to the sixth project and practice Insect Voice.”
w.a.n.g Che brought the little caterpillar to a small mountain in the wilderness. “Look, it’s this mountain.”
w.a.n.g Che pointed at the small mountain in front.
The little caterpillar glanced at it and was stunned.
It was a mountain peak at least a hundred meters tall.
