<h4>Chapter 457: Finals! Transcendent Soul Beast, Divine Nether Bird!</h4>


    The match ended.


    Wang Che felt that the Maic Sword was a little independent now.


    In this battle, the Maic Sword had used its soul skill to a certain extent.


    Especially thest strike, it was a little interesting.


    At the same time, rather than saying that this match was a teampetition with the North River Academy, it was not apetition with Yang Xiaotan.


    “If that sword strike had struck Yang Xiaotan or the Eternal Mountain Giant Turtle, the best oue would have been both sides being injured.”


    “Hmm, of course. Did you think of doing this in advance? Or did you guess?”


    “Ssss.”


    “You thought of it in advance?”


    “Not bad, you can even set up traps in the battle to trick your opponent… You’ve improved greatly!”


    “Ssss…”


    “Oh, it’s actually a gamble?”


    “That means you have extremely highbat talent! You might even be stronger than Bear Treasure!”


    ......


    “Ssss!”


    Wang Che praised the Maic Sword.


    If it won thepetition, it naturally had to be praised.


    Therefore, no matter if thest strike of the Maic Sword had been thought of in advance or if it was a wild gamble, it was a good thing.


    They arrived at the referee’s stand.


    Yang Xiaotan stared at Wang Che with a strange expression.


    “I don’t think I attacked?” Wang Che asked.


    “Of course.” Yang Xiaotan nodded, “I can afford to lose. Or rather, we don’t have much chance of winning. After all, this is a teampetition. In terms of overall strength, we can’tpare to you.”


    “However, I admit defeat to you.”


    “You lost to it.” Wang Che pointed at the Maic Sword, “It actually has nothing to do with me. I didn’t participate in this match.”


    Yang Xiaotan looked at Wang Che in confusion.


    “You didn’tmand the subsequent part of the battle?”


    “No.”


    Yang Xiaotan’s breathing was a little rapid, and her face was green and white.


    What a joke!


    How old was the soul pet to have such high fighting quality?


    “Damn!” Zheng Shaoyang said in a sorry state, “I can understand if we lost to you. In the battle just now, this small sword alone could defeat Sister Xiaotan. Something is wrong.”


    “Did it think of that battle method just now?”


    “Ssss!” The Maic Sword shot lightning at Zheng Shaoyang.


    ‘What? Can’t I think of that?’


    “Both sides’ Contract Soul Masters, please control your soul pets.” The referee on the side calmly said, “Thepetition has already ended.”


    The Maic Sword’s tip was pointed at Zheng Shaoyang.


    “Then take it as a fluke.” Wang Che smiled.


    He understood Zheng Shaoyang’s thoughts.


    After all, humans were inferior to a pet.


    “The finals tomorrow.”


    Yang Xiaotan’s expression returned to calm as she smiled and said, “I’m looking forward to you bing a legend in this year’s King’s Cup. The Battle Soul Academy is much stronger than us. Yourpetition with them should be very interesting.”


    “Legendary.” On the side, Zheng Shaoyang also sighed, “A person and a team both won the championship, so it shouldn’t be a legend, right? However, your battle history is indeed quite legendary. You forcefully turned the teampetition into an individualpetition, a soul petpetition.”


    “Speaking of which, your match with Jian Wuhen proves that you’re very strong yourself. There’s no need to keep using your soul pet without attacking.”


    “Soul pets need to train.” Wang Che said, “Let them constantly face greater challenges to improve.”


    “This doesn’t affect you attacking?” Zheng Shaoyang was confused, “If you cooperate with your soul pets in battle, you can improve even more.”


    Wang Che nodded.


    That was right, but… he did not have much room for improvement.


    Therefore, there was not much meaning in attacking.


    “I don’t understand, I don’t understand!” Zheng Shaoyang waved his hand, “Tomorrow, we’ll set up a small stool and wait to see your finals with that dark horse!”


    “ording to the rules of the King’s Cup, as long as one reaches the finals like a dark horse, there’s a high chance of winning.”


    “Doesn’t that mean there’s a high chance I’ll lose?” Wang Che smiled.


    “It’s hard to say. From a certain perspective, you’re actually a dark horse too. After all, you’re only in your first year. I reckon that before the King’s Cup begins, no audience will think that a first-year student can enter the finals, let alone the finals of both the individual and teampetitions!”


    That’s right!


    After this match ended, what shocked many of the audience was that not only did Wang Che enter the finals, but he also entered the individual and team finals as a first-year contestant!


    So far, there was only one student who could win the championship in the first year of the King’s Cup.


    “zed, look, I said this guy looks a lot like you, right?” The Oracle Heavenly King smiled, “Tomorrow is the finals. Back then, only you could win the championship in the first year.”


    “But he hasn’t won the championship yet.” The zed Heavenly King looked into the distance and smiled.


    “Oh? That sounds interesting.” The zing Sun Heavenly King narrowed his eyes, “It seems that the zed Heavenly King thinks very highly of this Gu Ranshuang! Speaking of which, I remember you said more than ten days ago that you took in a disciple who participated in thepetition.”


    “I don’t think I heard anything. Could it be this Gu Ranshuang?”


    “zing Sun, that’s not right. Everyone knows this. It’s meaningless for you to say it out loud.” The Cloud Sky Heavenly Kingughed loudly, “Gu Ranshuang’s background is unsearchable and shees from a third-rate academy. Someone clearly wants to hide it. To be able to reach this step, there’s something fishy. I don’t believe it.”


    The other Heavenly Kings alsoughed.


    Although epting disciples was not a very secret, every Heavenly King had their own privacy.


    asionally, they would take in one or two disciples in private and train them secretly. It was normal for them to train when they had a certain level of strength.


    Especially the zed Heavenly King, after bing a Titled Heavenly King, she had never had any disciples.


    “Since you’ve guessed it…” The zed Heavenly King closed her eyes, “Then I’lly my cards on the table. Ranshuang is indeed my disciple.”


    Many Heavenly Kings’ expressions froze.


    They did not expect her to admit it directly.


    “Actually, it was her request to participate in the King’s Cup,” the zed Heavenly King continued, “I didn’t want her to participate.”


    “Oh? Why?” The Oracle Heavenly King asked.


    “Because it’s not fair for her to participate in the King’s Cup,” the zed Heavenly King said.


    “zed Heavenly King, you mean that if she participates, she will definitely win?” The Jade Cloud Heavenly Kingughed, “Looking at it now, with my understanding of Wang Che, I think he won’t lose.”


    “No.” The zed Heavenly King shook her head, “What I mean is that it’s unfair to her, not to the other contestants.”


    The Heavenly Kings were slightly stunned.


    What did this mean?


    She had already fought her way through, but it was still unfair to her?


    “You’ll know tomorrow.” The zed Heavenly King smiled.


    “I hate riddles!” The Jade Cloud Heavenly King said helplessly.


    “I hate it too!” The Oracle Heavenly King echoed.


    “Seconded!” The Heavenly Kings echoed.


    ...


    The day before the finals.


    In a hotel room on the Battle God tform.


    Wang Che released the three little guys and said,


    “Tomorrow is thest day of thepetition. It might be a little difficult.”


    He had to educate them from time to time.


    “Ssss!”


    The little caterpir was the first to cry out.


    “Don’t scream!” Wang Che flicked the little caterpir’s head, “You’ll suffer tomorrow.”


    “Ssss!” The little caterpir hissed.


    It meant: Why don’t… you arrange a teammate for me?


    “So, you think you can’t beat the other party tomorrow?” Wang Che nodded, “Alright, you can go on stage with the Maic Sword.”


    The little caterpir hurriedly shook its head and tail.


    ‘No, no!’


    It could not admit this!


    Little Sword still had to fight in the teampetition. How could it go on stage together?


    ‘Then it’s not a chance for me to show off…’


    ‘No, no!’


    “Yes, then you should go alone tomorrow.” Wang Che said, “In any case, there are only two ten-thousand-year soul pets on the other side. It’s nothing to you, right?”


    The little caterpir nodded.


    Indeed, two ten-thousand-year soul pets were nothing!


    “That’s true. Isn’t it just a Transcendent King? It’s nothing to you,” Wang Che continued.


    The little caterpir thought about it and nodded reluctantly.


    “The other party might also know one or two inherited soul skills. You know them too. What are you afraid of?” Wang Che asked.


    The little caterpir thought for a while and still nodded. ‘That’s right, I can do it too!’


    “Oh, right, there’s also the possibility that she has two other soul pets and wants to fight four against one. What’s this? Little Sword directly fought eight, right?” Wang Che pointed at the Maic Sword.


    The little caterpir was silent for a moment. It tilted its head and thought for a long time before finally nodding.


    “There’s also a Contract Soul Master,” Wang Che said casually, “She’s just a mere Contract Soul Master. At most, she has a Level 40 Heavenly Fate martial soul. It can’t be higher, right?”


    The little caterpir: “?”


    “In any case, you have a martial soul evolution, right? You’re the future divine dragon. What are you afraid of?” Wang Che asked, “No matter what you face tomorrow, will a future divine dragon retreat?”


    The little caterpir immediately shook its head.


    “Then you have to fight to the end! You can’t admit defeat?”


    The little caterpir called out twice in a very firm tone.


    It would not admit defeat!


    Seeing this, Wang Che nodded slightly and thought to himself that the brainwashing was sessful.


    The next day.


    The King’s Cup finals!


    Every time it reached the finals, there would definitely be no one, not to mention that this was one of the most popr and valuable King’s Cup in history.


    Even in the outside world, countless people who were waiting to see the finals through the live broadcast were looking forward to it!


    The contestants on the Battle God tform naturally did not know the situation outside.


    Aftering to the Battle God tform, they could only focus on thepetition. They did not have the chance to pay attention to any public opinion or receive any public opinion.


    This was because the contestants did not even havemunication devices when they came here. The teams and individuals were isted.


    “I feel that this year’s finals are the most interesting… One is a mysterious dark horse from an unknown academy, and the other is a first-year student!”


    “The champion we guessed before thepetition didn’t even enter the finals!”


    “The teampetition is fine. At least the Battle Soul Academy is in the finals. The individualpetition is absurd. None of the contestants I guessed entered the finals. It’s too ridiculous!”


    “This Gu Ranshuang is too mysterious. I heard that she transferred there. No one knows what she used to do… It’s like she dropped from the sky!”


    “There has always been nock of geniuses fromrge families joining a certain academy to participate in thepetition and the Dao Arenas of the various continents. However, they usually choose to join the academy for a period of time before obtaining the qualifications to participate in the King’s Cuppetition. Clearly, there’s someone behind this…”


    “Of course. At this age, even the top geniuses of those universities can’t nurture two ten-thousand-year soul pets.”


    “Not to mention Gu Ranshuang, just looking at Wang Che, I feel that he’s even more ridiculous. To be able to fight until now in his first year and even eliminate several powerful contenders for the championship midway, the value of this semi-finals is simply unimaginable!”


    “…”


    As the audience discussed, the eliminated contestants also discussed.


    “Hiss~”


    An ancient voice resounded throughout the entire Battle Soul tform.


    It was the voice of the hundred-thousand-year Transcendent soul beast, the Blue Sea Divine Qilin.


    At the same time…


    “Roar!”


    A loud dragon roar sounded like a drum, forming a majestic song.


    A hundred thousand-year Transcendent soul beast, the Great Ancient Dragon.


    The ancient sound indicated that the finals had entered the countdown.


    On the referee’s tform.


    “What do the two of you want to say before thepetition?”


    The Jade Cloud Heavenly King, who was the referee, smiled.


    The referees of the King’s Cup finals were all Heavenly Kings of the Central Continent.


    This wasmon practice.


    “No.” Wang Che shook his head.


    Gu Ranshuang shook her head at the same time.


    She was wearing a ck robe. The material and style of the clothes could not be seen as modern or modern, but it seemed to be apromise.


    With an ice-blue mask on its face, the only thing that could be seen was her long snow-white hair. It was a sharp contrast to the ck robe and was quite dazzling.


    “Alright, as the terrain of the finals, it will be rotated every year. This year is a normal Battle Soul Arena.”


    The Jade Cloud Heavenly King said ording to the rules, “So, it will depend on your own performance.”


    The Battle Soul Arena was the most normal terrain. It did not have any elemental effects.


    Even the material of the tform was made of high-tech materials unrted to metal rocks. It did not have any elemental energy. The only characteristic was that it was iparably hard.


    Wang Che jumped off the stage.


    He had encountered the Battle God Arena a few times in the preliminary stage, but he had basically never encountered it again.


    They were all strange terrain.


    He did not expect to be able to step onto this simple square stage in the finals.


    As Wang Chended, Gu Ranshuang alsonded.


    They prepared to count down.


    The soul ring on Gu Ranshuang’s body appeared and arger soul pet flew out.


    Transcendent soul pet, Divine Nether Bird, more than 12,000 years of cultivation.


    Ghost and flying dual attribute soul pet.


    Its pitch-ck wings burned with soul-like mes!


    Especially those bird eyes, they emitted a cold aura, like a divine beast that traveled between the two worlds!


    Its wings were only five to six meters long. It was not huge, but the ancient patterns on its wings symbolized its ancient history!


    “The Divine Nether Bird is said to have transformed from an ancient soul beast. The Divine Wing Bird became a ghost-type soul pet because it was infected by the otherworldly energy of the Fallen Ancient Era… this is somewhat simr to the Oracle Phantom Spirit.”


    “This bird is said to be able to see through the souls of humans and soul pets.”


    Wang Che nced at it.


    In the preliminary stage, Wang Che used Bear Treasure to enter the top 32 and used the little caterpir to fight until now.


    The other party was powerful. She had used this Divine Nether Bird to fight until now.


    In the previous match, when Li Yunxiu used all three pets and revealed her martial soul, this Divine Nether Bird was suppressed and she sent out the second soul pet.


    She did not use them together! She only used the second one after this divine bird was defeated!
