Chapter 119: Inherited Soul Skill, Near Death Eruption
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, dazzling light suddenly erupted from the green caterpillar’s body!
A violent energy fluctuation spread out rapidly with the green caterpillar as the center!
“F*ck! What’s that!”
The Ghost Disciple immediately felt an extremely dangerous aura that was close to death!
This feeling made him subconsciously stop moving.
He looked at the green caterpillar in shock.
What was going on?
What was wrong with this green caterpillar?
Even if it was not dead, it was not far, right?
How could it erupt with such powerful energy?
“Could it be that this is not a green caterpillar? Am I seeing things?”
The Ghost Disciple was stunned.
With his knowledge, he could not tell what was going on with the green caterpillar.
But the danger was absolute!
Almost instantly, the Ghost Disciple shouted, “Rain Demon Butterfly, Flying Speed Bird, use your thousand-year soul skill again! Block that green caterpillar for me!”
With that, he charged at Wang Che again.
As long as he killed the Contract Soul Master himself, the life contract would disappear.
Under normal circumstances, their soul pets would temporarily stop fighting.
The remaining Flying Speed Bird and the Rain Demon Butterfly immediately rushed towards the green caterpillar!
The Ghost Disciple was really afraid now.
The Rain Demon Butterfly condensed a violent Energy Beam again.
The Flying Speed Bird flapped its wings as violent winds swept over again!
However, at this moment, the green caterpillar’s entire body flickered with a violent light, so bright that even the two soul pets could not see it clearly!
Especially the pair of bug eyes, they glowed like light bulbs.
The next moment, its body shook and the ground cracked. It actually burrowed into the ground!
It disappeared without a trace!
The two great soul skills of the Rain Demon Butterfly and the Flying Speed Bird missed!
Dig?
The green caterpillar could burrow?
‘Can someone tell me why the green caterpillar can still burrow underground?’
The Ghost Disciple looked back and that extremely dangerous feeling spread from his heart again!
His soul wings flickered as he quickly pulled away.
He had no idea what was going on with the green caterpillar.
However, the feeling of danger made him afraid to move forward.
Only Wang Che, who was far away, was slightly stunned and knew the situation.
But it was also expected.
That move should be…
Near Death Eruption: On the verge of death, dig into the ground and escape from the shell. Then, unleash a fatal blow that can shock the ground.
It was a soul skill that the green caterpillar had learned from the Heavenly Mother Earth Worm in the ancient soul beast drawing!
Even if it was an inherited move, it was naturally incomparably powerful!
The green caterpillar had never mastered this move.
The condition of learning was to enter a dying state.
In fact, in order to learn this move, Wang Che had tried it before in Yuan Xiaole’s club. He had fought against professional Contract Soul Masters in high intensity battles to learn this move.
However, it was too difficult. Even in a soul pet battle, when the green caterpillar fell into a dying state after losing,
it could not learn this move.
Later on, Wang Che understood that ‘on the verge of death’ did not refer to fainting from soul pet battles.
Soul pet battles had rules. Soul pets knew that they wouldn’t die and would only lose their fighting strength.
It was impossible to comprehend this move from that.
The only way was to touch upon the boundary between life and death!
Only then would it be able to comprehend this move.
However, in a life and death situation, there was a high chance that it would die.
A situation with only one breath remaining was too difficult to encounter!
Wang Che naturally would not let the green caterpillar try.
Therefore, it had never learned this move.
The conditions for learning an inherited soul skill were very harsh.
Wang Che had thought about how the green caterpillar could learn it at the crucial moment before this battle.
Suddenly…
“Protect me!”
The instinct to fight made the Ghost Disciple shout again.
The Flying Speed Bird immediately flew to the Ghost Disciple. The Rain Demon Butterfly had already used a thousand-year soul skill three times and was currently heavily injured. Its wings had been struck to the side by the Raging Flame Strike. It could not fly and naturally could not fly to the Ghost Disciple.
However, its powerful soul power cultivation and combat instincts made it burst into movement.
It leaped into the low air and blocked the Flying Speed Bird.
However, only a second later, when the Flying Speed Bird arrived in front of the Ghost Disciple…
In the next moment, the ground cracked!
Beams of light flickered on the ground!
Lightning flashed in the sky.
In an instant, a blinding light erupted from the cracked ground like a laser!
The light was like a sharp blade that cut through the darkness, directly piercing through the Rain Demon Butterfly and the Flying Speed Bird that was barely blocking the Ghost Disciple!
The Rain Demon Butterfly, which was already heavily injured, landed again and entered a dying state.
The same was true of the Flying Speed Bird.
An intense light shook the heavens and the earth. It did not slow down and charged at the Ghost Disciple.
The Ghost Disciple was stunned.
He did not know if this was a soul skill or something else.
He had seen special and powerful soul skills in the past.
But he had never seen something like this before!
It was even more impossible for it to appear on a green caterpillar!
It was able to unleash such power in a dying state that made his brain buzz.
In the critical moment, the soul wings on the Ghost Disciple’s back disappeared as he forcefully urged the last trace of soul power in his body.
He blew the black conch.
He had three soul skills.
The third one came from the Trickster, called Mental Trickery. It could free him from control skills and also easily control opponents with low intelligence.
The second was from the Flying Speed Bird, called Flying Speed Light. It could increase his speed.
The first and most powerful one was from the Rain Demon Butterfly, called Rain Wing Guardian.
The most important thing for Skill Soul Masters was to protect themselves on the battlefield.
The longer he lived, the more useful he would be.
Thus, this soul skill was what he relied on the most.
He had originally planned to hold back when killing Wang Che.
He wanted to prevent Wang Che from getting close to him, in case he had any strange moves or some long-range sneak attacks.
But now, he could not care less.
As his soul ring flickered, a pair of energy wings similar to the wings of the Rain Demon Butterfly appeared around him.
It wrapped around him like a cocoon.
It was the additional soul skill from his two-thousand-year soul ring.
This move was naturally very powerful.
An earth-shattering light that was as sharp as a blade struck down the Rain Demon Butterfly and the Flying Speed Bird.
Then, it instantly struck the wings made of energy.
Crack crack crack…
The energy wings began to shatter.
But at the same time, the light on the green caterpillar gradually disappeared.
The moment the energy wings shattered by two-thirds, the light on the green caterpillar vanished.
The Ghost Disciple let out a breath of relief, his entire body drenched in sweat.
He almost died here!
The green caterpillar fell from the sky again. Wang Che rushed over and hugged the green caterpillar that was almost two meters long.
This move was very powerful.
At the crucial moment, it could even play a role in reversing the situation.
The green caterpillar’s skin was very stiff. Its eyes were hazy, probably because it saw Wang Che.
It called out.
Inherited soul skills were naturally very powerful, but they could not be heaven-defying.
Although that Ghost Disciple did not have much combat strength, he was still a Level 30 Skill Soul Master with rich combat experience.
It was already unprecedented for the green caterpillar to fight three alone.
“I don’t believe you have any more trump cards!”
Soul wings appeared on the Ghost Disciple’s back again, but the current soul wings were already semi-transparent.
Clearly, it would not last long.
With that, he charged at Wang Che.
Wang Che did not move and said slowly, “I really don’t have any moves left, but I’m not alone. Behind me… is the war zone. When the ant swarm collapsed, you didn’t run and chose to kill me.”
“At that moment, you’re already dead.”
“It’s just a matter of dying early or late.”
The air above trembled.
But at this moment…
Swish!
It was as if space had shattered.
The light spot the size of a grain of rice pierced through space and approached from afar!
In the air, it easily disintegrated the energy wings wrapped around the Ghost Disciple.
Then, it passed through the Ghost Disciple’s body and disappeared into the distance.
The Ghost Disciple’s body suddenly froze as it looked into the distance.
He closed his eyes and muttered something before falling to the ground.
Wang Che turned around and immediately distanced himself from the range of the Life-Extinguishing Powder. Then, he took a deep breath and swallowed the rain.
Wang Che had never thought of killing the Ghost Disciple directly.
It was too difficult.
What he had to do was stall for time.
Calculating the time, Wang Che knew that reinforcements would definitely arrive soon.
Even if the Ghost Disciple had lost the protection of the thousands of ants, a Level 30 Skill Soul Master was still impossible for him to defeat now.
But to the West Peak Continent, he could be easily crushed.
As expected, not long after, a group of more than ten Contract Soul Masters quickly arrived at Wang Che’s location.
“The three of you, go take a look at the ant army! The two of you, go take a look at that Ghost Disciple’s condition. The other three survey the surroundings and see if there is any danger. The remaining one, follow me.” A captain-like soldier commanded in the air before landing with another soldier.
He immediately walked to Wang Che’s side.
“Heal him first,” the captain ordered with a cold expression. The soul wings on his back flickered.
The other soldier nodded.
The soul rings on his body flickered as four of them lit up.
One black and three purple.
Two of the soul rings flew out and turned into Spirit Healing Mushrooms that arrived beside Wang Che and the green caterpillar.
Spirit Healing Mushroom: A grass-type soul pet with a gentle nature. In the forest, it will often treat injured and weak soul beasts. Its body will emit a faint medicinal fragrance. Soul pets that absorb the medicinal fragrance will rapidly heal their injuries.
The Spirit Healing Mushroom looked very cute. It was about 40 centimeters tall and had a round and large white mushroom head. There were two small feet that were a few centimeters long under its pale yellow torso. Its body was also carrying a red medicinal box.
It came to Wang Che and the green caterpillar’s side and clapped its hands. Immediately, intense medicinal powder spread from its body.
At the same time, the soldier’s martial soul suddenly lit up. A pure white flower appeared in his palm.
It emitted a pure white light.
Under this light, the two Spirit Healing Mushrooms seemed to enjoy this light. The medicinal fragrance on their bodies was even stronger.
Martial Soul: Spirit Enhancing Flower.
The spirit flower born alongside the Spirit Healing Mushroom that had an extremely powerful healing effect like the Spirit Healing Mushroom.
This was because when the Healing Spirit Mushroom matured, the Healing Spirit Flower would wither.
The green caterpillar’s injuries were recovering at a visible speed. Even its soul power was recovering!
‘The military’s medical soul masters are indeed very strong. The combination of this Spirit Healing Flower martial soul and the Spirit Healing Mushroom directly increases the healing ability by several times…’ Wang Che thought to himself.
Although medicine was advanced in modern times, and many potions had strong effects, in a truly serious situation, the use of a medical soul master was far greater than that of ordinary medicines.
Although they did not have combat strength, they had powerful healing abilities.
Their martial souls were mostly related to healing.
They also had a high status in society. They could be involved in developing drugs that could treat various terminal illnesses, or they could be deployed in teams.
Among the many professional Contract Soul Masters, the role of a medical soul master covered a wide range of aspects.
At this moment, the captain spoke, “Student Wang, thank you for persisting for so long.”
Then. he sighed, “We were late.”
“No, you came at the right time,” Wang Che said, “Oh right, the one who attacked just now…”
“There’s a Battle Soul Master in our team who’s good at long-range sniping. He didn’t come to the scene. Just now, we were 50 miles away. An Agility Soul Master in the team discovered the situation here and immediately started sniping,” explained the captain.
Battle Soul Masters were also divided into close combat and long-range combat.
Wang Che nodded. It was expected.
There were definitely various types of professional Contract Soul Masters in the army.
Agility Soul Masters specialized in speed and control.
At the same time, they often had very strong mental strength. They could use their soul pets and martial souls in various difficult environments to sense or see extremely far away situations to quickly formulate a battle plan.
Long-range Battle Soul Masters would usually have an Agility Soul Master by their side to scout for enemies.
Advanced professional Contract Soul Masters teams all had powerful combat abilities.
Even if they were a few dozen miles away, in two or three seconds, one shot was enough.
Only a high-level Contract Soul Master could do this easily.
There were no modern firearms that could reach this range and speed.
However, if it was a martial soul related to sniping, and its soul power rank was strong enough, with the various enhancements of the soul pet, the Agility Soul Master would be able to assist and accurately locate it.
Without any obstacles, the opponent could be accurately killed from afar.
Wang Che had said that after the ant army fell, the Ghost Disciple was already dead.
This was the reason.
Without the protection of the ant swarm, once a level 30 Skill Soul Master was accurately targeted by a high-level Contract Soul Master, he was naturally not far from death.
“You guys should be planning to save these Thousand-legged Flying Ants, right?” Wang Che asked.
The captain was stunned. He probably did not expect the other party to think of this.
“Yes, otherwise, it would be very easy for us to kill these Ghost Disciples at all cost.” The captain nodded, “We sent out high-level Contract Soul Masters to suppress these sick ants. Not only did we kill the Ghost Disciples… Otherwise, our base would not lack high-level Contract Soul Masters to come here.”
The few Ghost Disciples were naturally not important.
The important thing was these soul beasts.
Whether it was the Federation’s soul pet constitution or the soul pet laws of the various war zones, they had a strong protection principle against wild soul beasts.
As long as it was not dead, it would be treated.
Especially with such a huge soul beast group, once these soul beasts fell, a large number of them would die.
Their West Peak Continent would face huge public scrutiny.
This was because, in any war zone, a person’s life was equivalent to a soul beast’s!
Over ten thousand soul beasts died in the wilderness.
This was no different from thousands of humans who had died.
If so many soul beasts died in the West Peak Continent, there was no way they could hide it.
Once the news spread, the Federation headquarters would definitely investigate it. The other war zones would definitely attack and ridicule them.
Otherwise, how could a few low-level Ghost Disciples make the West Peak Continent mobilize so many high-level Contract Soul Masters?
