Chapter 73: Returning to the Borders

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Outside the Floating Forest.

Adjutant Li and the rest looked into the distance with heavy hearts.

The other three Chen Fei, Cheng Cheng, and Bai Youyou had already been rescued.

Only one rescue team was injured.

However, the injured were rescued one after another. Only a few rescue teams were unable to recover from their serious injuries.

As students, Chen Fei and the other two were rescued earlier.

They watched as the subsequent soldiers carried out the Contract Soul Masters from the rescue team.

His heart turned numb.

Some Contract Soul Masters and soul pets were covered in blood. With a glance, one could tell that they had definitely experienced a life and death battle.

At this moment, only then could they understand why the reward of the Enlightenment Cup was the best reward for exploring the wilderness.

Before this, they felt that the Wilderness Soul Earth was dangerous.

But… wasn’t it fine as long as he had limbs?

However, the hidden danger could only be felt at this moment.

If they came alone, they would probably die countless times.

“What exactly happened?” Bai Youyou whispered.

“Someone attacked us in the Floating Forest…” Cheng Cheng said,” I encountered a few participants who were attacked. The injuries on their bodies did not seem to be left by those berserk soul beasts. It’s just that the rescue teams were very timely…”

“Then these Contract Soul Masters from the rescue team are so seriously injured…” Bai Youyou jumped in fright,” Who are they going to save? They probably died… Could it be…”

“It should be Wang Che.” Chen Fei pondered and said, “Of the four of us, only Wang Che has not come out. The other contestants are not in our rescue range.”

“No way?” Bai Youyou felt a little sad and sighed, “Is this the fate of the handsome? This guy is so good looking. If he’s gone just like that… I’ll be sad.”

“Perhaps the more outstanding a person is, the more unlucky they will be,” Cheng Cheng said.

“That green caterpillar… what a pity.” Chen Fei sighed regretfully, “Its worm life should have just begun…”

“Gagaga~” The Thunderbolt Eagle, who was beside Chen Fei, also shrieked.

“…” Bai Youyou.

Cheng Cheng: “…”

“Alright, the few of you.” Adjutant Li shouted, “What are you talking about? Shut up!”

The three of them immediately fell silent.

Adjutant Li looked into the distance. Wang Che’s safety was important.

More importantly, it was the plot of the Ghost Disciples.

Especially the four beams of light that shot into the sky, it made Adjutant Li’s heart beat rapidly!

“I hope Senior will succeed,” Adjutant Li muttered inwardly.

At this moment, two figures sped out of the distant Floating Forest.

Adjutant Li suddenly sighed in relief when he saw the figure in the lead.

Senior had successfully come out!

However, who was the person behind Senior Yanming?

Standing on a sword with a peerless aura, he actually looked more dignified than Senior Yan Ming?

The three people behind were also slightly stunned until they got close.

“Isn’t that Wang Che?”

Adjutant Li was stunned, “The Magnetic Sword under his feet is Senior Yan Ming’s soul pet… good fellow, I didn’t expect that I didn’t notice it just now.”

“But it’s good that you’re safe.”

Adjutant Li clapped excitedly.

Not long after, Wang Che and Li Yanming landed safely.

When he got off the Magnetic Sword, Wang Che was still not satisfied.

He looked at the Magnetic Sword and touched its hilt, saying, “If there’s a chance in the future, let’s have a go again.”

“Ssss—” The Magnetic Sword emitted a few echoes before flying to Li Yanming’s side.

Li Yanming’s soul ring flashed and he immediately put away the Magnetic Sword. Then, he glanced at Wang Che vigilantly.

He felt defeated.

Back then, just taming the rather arrogant soul pet, the Magnetic Sword, had taken him at least a month.

Alright, in just a while, it had become someone else’s toy.

It felt as if someone had taken away the child he had raised for many years.

“Wang Che, are you okay? That’s great!”

At this moment, Chen Fei and the others walked over and sized it up.

“I’m fine thanks to Officer Li.” Wang Che pointed at Li Yanming and said modestly.

“You scared me,” Bai Youyou patted her chest, “I saw that the Contract Soul Masters who went to save you were all carried out and had heavy casualties. We thought that something big had happened to you!”

Wang Che looked at the injured Contract Soul Masters and frowned slightly.

He knew that these Contract Soul Masters who had come to save him had been stopped by those Ghost Disciples.

There would definitely be heavy casualties.

Xue Batian had disguised himself as a rescue soldier and even had an officer’s ID. He had definitely taken it from these people.

From the looks of it, the casualties were not ordinary.

“You’re just a student, don’t worry about it.”

Adjutant Li patted Wang Che on the shoulder, “Don’t think too much. From the moment we brought you out of the border, your safety was our responsibility.”

The three of them felt that these words were a little heavy and did not say anything.

At this moment, Li Yanming gave Adjutant Li a few glances.

The two of them walked to the side, as if discussing something.

Adjutant Li would turn around from time to time and look at Wang Che, his eyes seemingly suppressing something.

Wang Che and the other three chatted at the side.

Suddenly…

“Unbelievable!” Chen Fei came to the green caterpillar and squatted down to look at the green caterpillar taking a nap.

There was a fanaticism in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Youyou and Cheng Cheng were shocked and immediately walked over.

“Look!” Chen Fei pointed at the green caterpillar and said excitedly, “Its skin is shimmering with a crystalline luster. It’s full of power and also very beautiful. Its body seems to be perfectly synchronized. It’s completely different from when I saw it previously!”

“Every inch of its body seems to contain powerful strength.”

“If it does not look like a green caterpillar, I highly suspect that it is a flood beast.”

“What kind of training is this?”

Chen Fei shook his head as if he had been possessed.

Bai Youyou: “…”

Cheng Cheng: “…”

“Wang Che, can I touch its tail?” Chen Fei asked excitedly, “Of course, I won’t wake it up.”

Wang Che: “…”

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered.

Wang Che understood that glow.

There was nothing else in his eyes but fanaticism.

“Alright.” Wang Che nodded.

Therefore, Chen Fei carefully approached and gently touched the green caterpillar’s tail.

It was as if he was caressing a peerless treasure.

“Too powerful!” Chen Fei muttered, “Its tail contains extremely powerful energy! The density of its tail muscles is probably even higher than my Thunderbolt Eagle. Wang Che, your green caterpillar will definitely have a soul skill related to the tail, right?”

Not bad.

He could guess this just by touching its tail.

This Chen Fei was a talent.

One had to know that the competition of the Enlightenment Cup was basically held by each city.

In addition, the audience was mostly high school students from this city. The competition rules were relatively low, so there was no commentary or recording.

Some students would use their communication devices to record the competition, but it was usually only circulated in their respective schools.

The students of the outer city did not pay special attention to the competition in other cities.

Naturally, he did not know much about Wang Che’s green caterpillar.

“Let me think… tail, is it the Rumbling Tail Strike?” Chen Fei was extremely excited, “A weak green caterpillar can actually cultivate the Rumbling Tail Strike. It’s too powerful!”

“Really?” Bai Youyou was shocked, “No wonder your green caterpillar could become the champion of Skyheart City’s Enlightenment Cup…”

“It should be very difficult to nurture a green caterpillar into a Rumbling Tail Strike, right?” Cheng Cheng frowned.

Wang Che nodded and did not deny it.

For the green caterpillar, it knew several powerful soul skills and had already used the Rumbling Tail Strike. There was no need to hide it.

“It’s not just difficult.” Chen Fei stood up, his heart surging.

Such a powerful green caterpillar was an eye-opener for him.

Most importantly, in just a few days, the green caterpillar had changed again.

He had seen it with his own eyes.

Chen Fei definitely dared to say that this green caterpillar had greatly changed from the first green caterpillar he encountered at the border two days ago!

It was obvious from its appearance.

Not only did Wang Che obtain a fortuitous encounter in the Floating Forest, but he also used a very powerful cultivation method.

Of course, Chen Fei did not ask.

Contract Soul Masters had their own insights when training soul pets and had different understandings of different soul pets.

However, to be able to raise a green caterpillar to such a level, it must have many unique skills.

It was impolite to ask directly, and the other party would not reveal anything.

At this moment, the green caterpillar gradually woke up.

What greeted him was Chen Fei’s big face. He jumped up in fright and immediately walked behind Wang Che.

Looking at Chen Fei, it was as if a beautiful woman had seen a pervert.

“Chen Fei, look at how frightened it is,” Bai Youyou teased.

Chen Fei stood up and returned to his original spot. He touched the Thunderbolt Eagle’s feathers.

“Your Thunderbolt Eagle is pretty good too.” Wang Che glanced at it.

Chen Fei was crazy about soul pets and was very good at training them.

His soul pet was definitely not weak.

“Yes.” Chen Fei was not modest. He looked at the Thunderbolt Eagle with flames burning in his eyes, “But compared to your green caterpillar, I feel that it’s still lacking. However, I believe that I can nurture the Thunderbolt Eagle better.”

“Gah!” Thunderbolt Eagle pecked Chen Fei’s shoulder affectionately.

“You two make it seem like we’re redundant.” Bai Youyou refused to be outdone as she looked at Chen Fei, “We’ll talk about it when we meet in the Aviation Cup!”

“In the Aviation Cup, your Thunderbolt Eagle should be able to evolve into a Thunderstorm Eagle at the third stage. However, my Golden Thorn Grass and her Rolling Rock Weasel will also evolve to the third stage. After our martial soul awakens, it will have a huge effect on soul pets.” Cheng Cheng also took a step forward, “I don’t think we’re weaker than Wang Che.”

Their soul pets were all young rare soul pets.

Young rare soul pets usually completed the third stage evolution before a thousand years of cultivation.

Most of them had around 500 years of soul power cultivation.

For example, the Thunderbolt Eagle would evolve into a Thunderstorm Eagle at about 370 years.

The Golden Thorn Grass, with a soul power cultivation of 400 years, would almost evolve into Crystal Thorn Grass.

The Rolling Rock Weasel would evolve into a Underground Rock Weasel at about 450 years.

Their strength would increase greatly at that time.
