Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Panda Novel

Knowing what Teacher Zheng was going to say, Wang Che followed behind him.

The two of them walked to a vacant corner.

"Lad, I seem to have underestimated you."

Teacher Zheng turned around to look at Wang Che. With sparkling eyes, he remarked, "I never expected that the green caterpillar would be so powerful.

"Were you trying to hide your ability earlier?"

Putting on an innocent tone, Wang Che asked, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

"Heh." Teacher Zheng began stroking his chin. "Why are you still trying to hide it from me? I didn't expose you just now when I had the chance."

"However, you should know that I, your teacher, am a professional Contract Soul Master. Did you think I wouldn't be able to tell that your green caterpillar wasn't using its soul power earlier? With just the strength of its body, it managed to crush that huge rock, in a single strike, no less.

"Let me guess. You really did make the little one learn the Rumbling Tail Strike, right?"

He stared at Wang Che intently.

Wang Che smiled at him, but sighed after a moment. "I want to, but I can't."

"Hmm?" From the look on his face, Teacher Zheng could tell that Wang Che didn't seem to be lying.

"This green caterpillar's body is stronger than that of the Cloud Cap Snake, even without using its soul power. It's the first time I've seen something as extraordinary as this. It's already so powerful with just normal attacks under its belt… It really is a pity that soul skills can't be learned on a whim…"

Teacher Zheng continued slowly, "However, I believe that you can teach the green caterpillar the Rumbling Tail Strike. Its attack stance is already perfect. Now, it just needs to focus on circulating the soul power around its body more.

"If it manages to do that, you should have a chance to attain a place in the top ten during the Enlightenment Cup."

"I hope so, Teacher." Wang Che smiled as he thought about it. "To be honest, I'm aiming to be the champion."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zheng didn't know how to react.

After a while, he quickly snapped back, "Don't even think about being the champion. Your green caterpillar may be the best In Skyheart First High, but it still lacks potential. The students of the other two high schools are not pushovers either. After seven days, the Cloud Cap Snake will be far stronger than you can imagine.

"I'm afraid that your green caterpillar won't be able to catch up."

"Although I don't know your training method or the items you obtained and used, make sure not to tell anyone about them. Keep it to yourself.

"That's all I'll say about the green caterpillar. You can stick to your regiment."

With that, Teacher Zheng waved his hand and left.

"Thank you, teacher," Wang Che called out from behind him.

That teacher really was something.

The rest of the day ended quickly with studying and training.

Since it was the first day of school, all the Year Three students were motivated and full of energy.

On top of that, the school was quite generous with supplying training equipment. Be it strength, speed, physique, defense, or any other form of other soul pet training, there were more than enough training equipment and venues to accommodate the students.

They were also free to use them however they wanted.

Nevertheless, if a student wanted to continue training after school, they could only do so by going to the training club.

Besides that, there were no evening self-study sessions for the third-year students here. After seven in the evening, they would be dismissed and asked to go home.

After all, training didn't just involve soul pets, but their humans as well.

Getting sufficient rest was necessary.

After school ended that day, Wang Che brought the green caterpillar home.

The training today had helped build a solid foundation for the little one's combat ability, rather than trying to learn flashy moves.

It hadn't completely been his choice either, since the school's training equipment was indeed quite basic.

However, regardless of the type of training conducted, the one benefit of using the school's facilities was that there weren't many distractions from other students.

Normally, no one would care enough to observe how others trained. Most students would focus on training with their own soul pets excitedly, in hopes of making them stronger.

"Seven days will pass by quickly. I need to make up for the little guy's shortcomings as soon as I can."

As Wang Che walked out of the school gates slowly, he began thinking to himself, 'If it can get the Soul Armor Haki… cough, cough, I mean soul power manifestation, it wouldn't be impossible to win the competition.

'My goal for the next seven days will be to train the green caterpillar to control the Soul Armor Haki and make it its greatest trump card. However, it won't be an easy process.

'It is still a child, after all.'

Right then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The person had a pair of snow-white, slender legs that glowed like amber jade under the setting sun.

It stung Wang Che's eyes.

Looking at the beautiful figure standing in his way, he asked, "Lin Xi? What do you want?"

The girl had a blue knee-length skirt and a white blouse on.

She seemed to be wearing the same clothes from before, and there was no makeup on her face. With the way her sleek hair was stuck onto her beautiful face from training, anyone would have thought she looked like the young girl next door who had just fallen in love. There was the matter of her cold looking eyes, though.

"Nothing much," Lin Xi replied. "I just want to talk."

"Talk about what?" Wang Che instinctively glanced at the school clock. "Don't tell me you're still hung up about that matter earlier?"

"No." Lin Xi shook her head solemnly. "I just wanted to say that this green caterpillar…"

"Hiss! Hiss!" Before she could finish her sentence, the Cloud Cap Snake beside Lin Xi let out a cry.

Wang Che smiled and asked, as if taunting it, "Why, do you want to challenge us again?"

From the way it was acting, he could sense that the Cloud Cap Snake was not satisfied by the results of the encounter earlier.

It was clearly in a fighting spirit now, and wanted to take Wang Che's caterpillar head-on.

A rematch.

Stunned, Lin Xi quickly responded, "No, there's no point in fighting now. Your green caterpillar is indeed amazing. I don't know how you trained it… but… forget it.

"I just wanted to say that if you and I meet during the Enlightenment Cup, I won't show any mercy."

Wang Che nodded at his classmate. "I won't either. If there's nothing else, I'll get going."

As he left, Lin Xi caressed the Cloud Cap Snake's head and said softly, "Don't worry. In seven days, you'll leave that green caterpillar in the dust."

"Hiss! Hiss!" The Cloud Cap Snake immediately cried out, as if objecting. 'Even now, it can't beat me!'

Seeing this, Lin Xi chuckled and walked up to her car.

It was an ordinary-looking hover car.

However, one could one see the extravagant interior of the vehicle when they physically entered it.

"Miss, the information regarding the participants from both Nanhu and Xingyue High School has been sent to your email. Would you like to take a look?"

An elder sitting in front asked as soon as Lin Xi got into the car.

"I've already seen it. It's interesting to say the least…" Lin Xi's tone was very calm. "Oh right, the sponsorship for the Enlightenment Cup this time…"

"Dino Tech. Should we provide this boy with some advantages?"

"Advantages? Why?" Lin Xi asked.

"You seem interested in him…" The elder coughed as he replied.

"I am interested, but a competition is a competition. There's no need for that," Lin Xi said with conviction.

"Besides, getting a green caterpillar to such a level… there's more to him than he lets on."

Lin Xi shook her head slightly, perplexed by the matter.

"What do you mean?" The elder asked. "Should we investigate him?"

Lin Xi smiled as she replied, "Investigate? We've been in the same class for a few years, so I don't think there's a need to investigate his background. He hasn't changed much, but he must have put in a great deal of effort to nurture that green caterpillar…"

"The Enlightenment Cup this year will be quite interesting… There are even a few participants who don't seem to come from Skyheart City this time. It's best if you don't interfere."

After saying that, Lin Xi stroked the head of her Cloud Cap Snake again.

"I'll see his strength for myself if we actually meet in the competition. If not, then so be it.

"It's no big deal."
