<h4>Chapter 33: It Wants to Fight Ten of Them</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    After a series of pre-match preparations, the 26 seeded yers from each zone arrived at their respective waiting areas.


    The venue of thepetition had been switched. It was no longer in the original field.


    Instead, it was now on the battle stage located on the third floor of the gymnasium. Moreover, not all matches were being held at the same time, as thepetition would go pair by pair.


    It was currently the afternoon and there was plenty of time.


    There was no need for all the yers topete at the same time. This gave them a chance to observe the following opponents.


    Wang Che arrived at the waiting area on the third floor and sat in a corner, quietly waiting.


    After five rounds, it was time for him topete with the girl from Zone B, No. 23.


    He had started to feel a little bored as he watched.


    To be able to be the zone winner of every district, it was a challenging feat.


    However, the Enlightenment Cup was ultimately still a beginner level soul pet tournament.


    For the other students watching the battles of these zone winners, it was exceptionally exciting and made their adrenaline rush


    Wang Che, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it.


    Therefore, he shifted his gaze toward the audience stands.


    “Why are Dad and Mom here too?”


    Like a smear of green among the myriad of colorful flowers, Wang Che immediately noticed two familiar figures within the crowd.


    As he looked on, the two of them were holding batons and shouting below at the stage.


    However, they were wearing their masks and sunsses, so it was impossible to tell what they were screaming about.


    As he scanned around, Wang Che found many other recognizable figures.


    Other than his ssmates, on the higher viewing tform was Professor Yan, who had previously appeared at the soul beast research base.


    Lin Xi and an old man were right beside him, conversing together…


    Soon after, it was Wang Che’s turn.


    He brought his green caterpir along the long corridor of thepetition venue. After the testing procedure, Wang Che arrived at the opposite tform.


    It was clear that the third floor wasrger and more spacious.


    There was a circle of spectators surrounding the stage, and the ce was filled with people. Most of them were students, and they came with their parents.


    Not long after, there was a long, vicious cry.


    “Caw!”


    Arge bird flew up from the other side.


    The bird was covered in sea-blue feathered spikes. Its wings were spread out, sharp and long, while its tail was shaped like a cattail leaf fan. With a light glide, it soared freely in the sky.


    The most eye-catching element was that scissors-like beak.


    The Spike Gull!


    Young and rare. Among the flying type soul pets, it excelled in attack and speed.


    In the early stages of soul pets, especially at the limit of 100 year soul power cultivation, it was basically very difficult for any soul pet tond damage on it.


    If it went against slightly weaker soul pets on the ground, it could easily defeat or even kill them at once.


    Its killing intent caused many bug type soul pets to unconsciously shift their gazes away, not daring to look straight at it. The weaker ones started trembling.


    “Are you scared?”


    A fair-skinned and pretty girl wearing a baseball cap walked up.


    It was the girl from the day before.


    Wang Che didn’t answer. Instead, he nced at the green caterpir and asked, “Well, are you?”


    “Ssss!”


    The green caterpir peeked at the Spike Gull who was soaring more than 20 meters high up in the sky.


    Its voice was a little soft, showing that it was indeed a little afraid, and that it would be more careful during their battleter…


    It was still a worm after all. Naturally, worms were terrified of birds.


    However,pared to other bug type soul pets, the green caterpir was performing much better.


    At least, it still dared to voice out.


    “This little one said that it’s not scary at all,” Wang Che nodded and said in a loud voice. “Not only is it fine, but it also thinks that the Spike Gull is trash. Bring it on, my caterpir even wants to fight ten of them.”


    The green caterpir was horrified, its eyes round as saucers.


    As expected, Wang Che’s voice was heard by the Spike Gull.


    It roughly understood what he meant.


    Cries filled the air.


    Its gaze was fixed onto the green caterpir, as if it was going to dive down and swoop it into its mouth in the next moment.


    “Tch.”


    Lin Yiughed disdainfully, “Your green caterpir is clearly anxious but you still want to anger my little gull. I’ll beat you up and make sure you’re utterly defeatedter!”


    Wang Che smiled but did not say anything. He calmly waited for the referee to give the order.


    At the same time, on the observation deck on the third floor stood Professor Yan, another man with both eyes closed, and Lin Xi looking down from the high tform.


    “How can he be so confident against the Spike Gull with just a mere green caterpir?”


    Lin Xi frowned slightly as she added, “Just the natural suppression alone should make it hard for the green caterpir tost even two rounds… From the previous battle, it could only jump up to a height of less than ten meters. If it’s not that agile in the air, it won’t be able to attack the enemy. It can only take a beating… and wait for an opportunity to strike.”


    “Lin Yi’s Spike Gull also has two soul skills… How can it win?”


    Professor Yan stroked his beard and beamed, “There’s always a chance.”


    “Professor, you think that highly of him?” Lin Xi was a little surprised as she asked.


    “Not really. I just feel that this green caterpir isn’t as ordinary as we think… This young man, Wang Che, isn’t who we think he is either,” Professor Yan stated.


    “Oh? Old Yan, there’s actually someone who is worthy of your praise?”


    The old man with his eyes shut looked like he was in his final years, but his voice was full of vigor.


    “What about it, Blind Li?”


    The impaired elder began with a smile, “I think the Spike Gull can finish off the green caterpir in a minute. Why don’t we make a bet on the Phantasmal Magic Stone in your research base?”


    “Good fellow, I was wondering why the sudden interest. So it turns out you’re after that item,” Professor Yanughed.


    He thought for a few seconds and saw that the match was about to begin. Then he coughed and continued, “This sort of old-fashioned gambling match ispletely dull. We’ll embarrass ourselves in front of the juniors.”


    “Cut the crap. Do you want to do it or not?”


    “You’re on.”


    Lin Xi was speechless as she noticed the two elders carrying out their gamble here.


    However, she could tell from the stakes.


    Based on their judgment, it was obvious that they had already predicted the oue.


    Either the Spike Gull defeats the caterpir within a minute, or the green caterpir stalls and wins after five minutes.


    “Begin!”


    The referee bellowed, and the battle started.


    Right away,mands filled the air.


    Lin Yi shouted, “Spike Gull, use Gust! Let’s end this right away!”


    Gust. One of the ten-year attribute soul skills of a flying type soul pet. It utilizes its wings to generate a strong gale in the air!


    It could almost take down weak creatures in an instant!


    In thispetition, as long as she used this move, she would be able to defeat any opposition instantly.


    Not to mention a green caterpir.


    The Spike Gull pped its wings, lowering its distance to a certain extent. Its wings began to glow as it thrashed them.


    A savage hurricane swept towards the green caterpir.


    However, Wang Che seemed to have expected this. He closed his eyes and said slowly, “Jump up! Use your Spit Thread soul skill!”


    His soul pet immediately jumped up when it heard his voice, reaching the air almost a second before the wind blew.


    When it reached its highest point, a faint glimmer shone in its mouth.


    Right after, like a sharp sword being unsheathed, a white thread shot towards the Spike Gull at an extremely rapid speed.


    “So quick!”


    Several exmations could be heard in the hall.


    In the blink of an eye, the thumb-sized thick thread was wrapped around one of the Spike Gull’s ws.


    When Lin Yi saw this, she was shocked. She felt like this Spit Thread soul skill’s casting speed and uracy were just too swift.


    “Peck the thread with your beak!”


    She reacted quickly and gave the order.


    The bird immediately jabbed at the thread roping its feet with its iparably sharp beak.


    However, when its beak came into contact with the thread, only a vibration like a bouncing rubber band could be heard.


    Thud!


    It was impossible to slice through.


    Furthermore, the slime on the thread prohibited the upper and lower jaws of the bird from opening.


    As she watched this unfold, Lin Yi was a little stupefied.
