Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

The soul skill had failed?

This was the only thought in Chen Shan’s mind.

“Impossible!”

How could a soul skill fail? Moreover, it was a species soul skill!

Moreover, this was a passive soul skill. As long as its soul power circulated, the effect would always exist!

The Mountain Cotton had only used a soul skill when it was pulled underwater. The consumption was not huge. How could the soul skill fail?

Looking at the fallen Mountain Cotton, Chen Shan’s mind shook as if he had thought of something.

The audience’s eyes lit up in disbelief.

“1% of its power…”

Chen Shan whispered, “That punch only had 1% of the power. The Mountain Cotton couldn’t even withstand it?”

Most gaseous soul pets had soul skills that could resist strength attacks. Therefore, even if the Mountain Cotton species had extremely low potential, it still had a decent resistance to soul pets that specialized in strength.

As a species soul skill, Powerless could offset 99% of the conventional strength attack after being enhanced by the Inflatable soul skill of the Inflatable Gun!

It only endured 1% of the force!

However, it could not even withstand such a small amount of strength?

Moreover, before starting, the Mountain Cotton had also used a fog soul skill. This was a basic soul skill that many gaseous soul pets had. It was one of the powerful skills that gaseous soul pets could learn in the early stages of the hundred-year cultivation period. It could offset 50% of conventional strength attacks.

Of course, compared to Powerless, this move had a lower limit.

The effect could only reduce strength further by half a percent.

0.5%.

This residual damage could make any soul skill related to strength useless.

“Impossible, this is impossible…” Chen Shan muttered.

The power of this punch was only 0.5%.

What kind of concept was this?

Even a ten-thousand-year soul skill could not directly make the Mountain Cotton lose its combat strength.

However, looking at the 50-meter-tall bear, Chen Shan was stunned.

This terrifying pressure and this punch seemed to be telling him:

What is power?!

“I admit defeat.” Chen Shan sighed.

It announced the end of the match.

No matter how powerful a combination and tactics were, they were as fragile as paper in the face of invincible power.

Chen Shan understood this logic, but he felt that it was just that his combination was not strong enough.

They could actually still fight, but there was not much meaning.

They would only expose too many of their trump cards. It was unlikely that they would win. There were still four days left. They could directly admit defeat and preserve a certain amount of strength to fight for the top 100.

After all, it was not wrong to lose to the other party.

“Roar!”

Bear Treasure let out a painful cry.

‘I actually used my True Body to win. Big Brother, Second Brother, I’m useless!’

Bear Treasure punched the sand with all its might.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A loud bang shook the sky!

Chen Shan did not understand why the other party actually let out a painful cry after winning.

Could it be that… this gigantification soul skill had any negative effects on it?

If that was the case, that would be great!

Thinking of this, Chen Shan’s eyes lit up and he felt a little better.

This was because he estimated that the change just now could increase strength by at least four times.

Otherwise, it was impossible for a Wave Fist with 0.5% power to instantly defeat his Mountain Cotton.

As for how many times it was, Chen Shan did not know. After all, three times could insta-kill it. If it was increased to four or five times, it could naturally be insta-killed too.

“Such an abnormal increase in strength… If there were no side effects, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death! Moreover, this is definitely an inherited soul skill.”

Chen Shan nodded secretly.

Thinking about it carefully, this Heaven Trampling Overlord used Rock Fighting to fight from afar. It had extremely high fire resistance, invincible close combat strength, and a lot of health.

Its speed and reaction speed were simply heaven-defying. It was unknown if it had undergone some training or learned some strange Soul Guiding Skill.

Walking on water was like walking on flat ground.

Especially its reaction, it was too exaggerated.

“The move, Rock Fighting, is not very strong.”

As Chen Shan returned to the referee’s platform, he pondered, “This is a skill with an extremely high requirement for combat experience. Only by reasonably predicting the opponent’s attack can you enter the Rock Fighting Form and reflect the attack. Not only this move, but almost all rebound-type soul skills have this requirement. Predicting in advance is not as easy as it sounds.”

“There are so many soul skills and countless attacks. Who can predict them so accurately?”

“Once the prediction fails, it will directly withstand the attack. It’s far less stable than a defensive soul skill, although the effect is not that strong.”

“As for this Heaven Trampling Overlord, from the first day, from the battle videos of that day, the modern firearms martial soul, and the sniper laser bullets carried by mechanical soul pets, it could directly predict and catch it. How can this prediction and reaction appear on a soul pet that’s at most three years old?”

“There are often strange lights flashing in its eyes. It might be because of a soul skill… but I wonder what soul skill it is to be so abnormal…”

“There’s only one way to defeat it. Use a powerful large-scale attribute soul skill to bombard it.”

“Or… a mental-type soul pet’s mental soul skill and a spatial-type imprisoning soul skill. With its strength, it’s very difficult to control other types of powerful control unless it’s a ten-thousand-year control-type soul skill.”

“Or perhaps I can use stronger strength to defeat it? But that should be very difficult…”

Chen Shan thought about it and sighed inwardly.

If he could think of it, so could many of the audience.

The audience was not ordinary people. All of them were Contract Soul Masters of high levels.

How could such a powerful Heaven Trampling Overlord be defeated?

Wang Che comforted Bear Treasure and said, “The True Body is your skill. It’s a part of your strength. It’s okay to use it.”

“You’re only at four thousand years of cultivation. There’s still a lot of room for improvement in the future. Moreover, you haven’t learned many soul skills. It shouldn’t be easy to reach this step.”

Bear Treasure was not the little caterpillar.

The little caterpillar had too many methods, and Bear Treasure was simple and violent.

Using strength to attain the Dao did not require many fancy soul skills.

Hearing Wang Che say that, Bear Treasure immediately felt much better.

“Your bear…”

Chen Shan looked at Wang Che, “It has an inherited soul skill, right? I don’t feel bad for losing.”

Wang Che did not deny it and nodded.

The Titan True Body was indeed an inherited soul skill.

As the ceiling of the current soul skill type, the effects and uses of inherited soul skills were unique and powerful.

Of course, being powerful did not mean being invincible. It also depended on one’s proficiency.

Chen Shan smiled and did not say anything else.

Although he had lost, there were still many geniuses in the Divine Capital Academy.

The other party was in the first zone. In the remaining four days, they should meet sooner or later. Some fellows walked the path of attribute soul pets. As for space and mental-type soul pets, as two relatively cultivated soul pets, they would definitely be nurtured abnormally in the King’s Cup.

There were also some Contract Soul Masters with powerful martial souls who could rely on their soul pets to unleash strength comparable to ten-thousand-year soul pets.

There were still many experts.

The referee handed the number plate to Wang Che and asked him to prepare.

On the audience platform.

“It seems that in the remaining four days, this Heaven Trampling Overlord will become the nightmare of many contestants.”

Yue Hanshan retracted his gaze, “Unless we meet those few in the first zone. Speaking of which, our Battle Soul Academy produced a few abnormal first-year students last year. They’re getting stronger and stronger.”

Yue Hanshan stood up, “I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it. I haven’t seen more than five True Body-type inherited soul skills in university! I wonder what ancient soul beast’s True Body soul skill it is. Inherited soul skills also have differences in strength.”

“The amplification is so exaggerated. 1% of the power can instantly beat the Mountain Cotton with Powerless strength and Inflatable. Not many soul pets can withstand this Wave Fist.”

The people beside him stopped joking and pondered.

As contestants, they were clearly thinking of countermeasures.

“Extreme strength. Heaven Trampling Overlord walks the path of the limit. The True Body inherited soul skill is definitely not weak. Its defense is probably also astonishing. It has such a high resistance to flames. It doesn’t look like a soul skill, but more like it was trained.”

“Strong strength, tough physique, high defense, fast speed… Damn, it doesn’t have any weaknesses. The only weakness is that its soul power cultivation is not high. This means that once it uses an inherited soul skill, it won’t be able to last long without ending the battle in a short period.”

“But under that power, what combination or soul pet can fight a battle of attrition with it? It doesn’t seem impossible…”

“In my opinion, in a battle of limits, only by using the same combination of attributes should we be able to defeat it.”

“Its fire immunity is high, but what about the other attributes? Grass, water, ground, rock, even mental, space, time, or some special demon spirit soul pets are still possible…”

It was indeed possible.

However, it had to be at the limit. Otherwise, there was definitely not much chance of winning.

In the next two rounds, Bear Treasure still won easily.

Not every opponent was as specialized as Chen Shan.

However, it was still quite exciting to fight.

Contestants of this level were very resilient as long as they were above the third year. Some did not admit defeat even if they had lost many times.

If the soul pet and master didn’t fall, they definitely wouldn’t admit defeat.

Of course, some were very sensible and chose to admit defeat to save their soul power.

Because the competition was three consecutive rounds, there was no time to rest. Even if he consumed a recovery-type medicine, it would still take some time.

Therefore, in reality, by the third round, many contestants had at most one intact soul pet out of three.

The other two soul pets had both lost a certain amount of soul power and physical strength.

Bear Treasure had also lost a lot. Using the True Body once consumed a lot of soul power.

Inherited soul skills were powerful but also consumed a lot of energy.

Fortunately, Wang Che had a soul skill that could heal and the medicinal pills he refined were very strong. They could make up for the consumption.

As for the drop in condition?

It did not exist.

The more Bear Treasure fought, the more excited it became. It was a battle maniac and the more it fought, the more excited it became.

At the same time, the consecutive days of competition made Wang Che think about Bear Treasure’s flaws.

Competition battles were the training that could best see the flaws of soul pets.

Only by fighting countless soul pets could one know the weakness.

“As a divine power, the Samadhi Spirit Eyes is enough for Bear Treasure to use in daily battles. It can easily see through the opponent’s attacks.”

Wang Che pondered and said, “Moreover, the other powerful abilities of the Samadhi Spirit Eyes have yet to be completely displayed. This is because so far, we haven’t encountered any soul pets that are good at mental strength or creating illusions. Just predicting the opponent’s attack is a little overkill.”

The divine power cultivated by the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique was also famous in the other world.

“These contestants should be thinking about how to defeat Bear Treasure.”

The preliminary stage would definitely be Bear Treasure’s stage.

Wang Che had never thought of using the little caterpillar or the Magnetic Sword in the preliminary stage.

Only by giving Bear Treasure pressure could it grow faster.

If it still had the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword to fight together, the other party would not be able to put up a fight.

“From the perspective of a spectator, using an attribute soul skill to defeat Bear Treasure is a very good choice.”

Wang Che pondered for a few seconds, “Then next, I have to let Bear Treasure try to train its divine power in battle.”

It probably would not even use Overlord’s Strength.

If the opponent wanted to surpass Bear Treasure in terms of strength, it should be rather difficult for these soul pets in the preliminary stage.

But soon, to Wang Che’s surprise, on the seventh day, the victory of a contestant in the first zone dispelled his thoughts.

On the seventh day, the second round.

Wang Che had defeated his opponent long ago and brought Bear Treasure to watch the other contestants’ matches.

This time, they were also watching a match with a lot of spectators in the first zone.

On the side of the competition was Chen Shan, whom Wang Che was familiar with.

On the other side was a woman. She was tall, graceful, and incomparably beautiful.

Then, she defeated the Mountain Cotton with a punch.

The process was so short that it made one’s scalp tingle.

Even Chen Shan was stunned for a long time. The intense fist wind brushed past him with the flying Mountain Cotton.

“Humanoid Soul Beast”, An Ye.

If one looked from the outside, she was a Battle Soul Master from the Dragon Martial Academy who would still be considered a quiet beauty when she did not make a move. However, her figure was slightly high-profile.

When she moved, all the muscles on her body expanded like a Transcendent soul beast.

In the past seven days, she had never lost.

This was because her combat process was very similar to Bear Treasure.

There were no soul pets. Even if three opponents combined, they could not withstand a single punch from her.

“Impressive!”

Wang Che decided to take back what he said yesterday.

Soul pets might not have the strength to surpass Bear Treasure.

However, it was different for Contract Soul Masters…

The contestants of the King’s Cup were still a little ridiculous.

It was not normal to have seen it a few days ago.

However, it was obvious that defeating Chen Shan with a single punch made her famous. After all, her battle process was even shorter than Bear Treasure.

“Roar!”

Bear Treasure’s blood boiled as it watched from the side, its fighting spirit surging.

It was confirmed! That was a Contract Soul Master who could match its strength!

“I didn’t see any soul pets appear. There’s only a pure martial soul possession. Could it be that they’re all accessory soul pets?” Wang Che muttered.

Looking through the competition videos from a few years ago, he didn’t see An Ye’s soul pets.

Many people guessed that An Ye had brought her soul pets. She was so arrogant? She didn’t even take one out? She directly used her martial soul to defeat her opponent?

Wang Che was most likely thinking of special soul pets.

The so-called accessory soul pets, such as Bai Xiaoluo’s Oh Oh Flower could directly provide the soul pet or Contract Soul Master with combat strength.

To Contract Soul Masters who were not good at training soul pets and were better at using themselves to fight, it was the most perfect soul pet.

Moreover, most of these soul pets were very cute and not naughty. They were very obedient and quiet.

It was definitely a necessary soul pet for Battle Soul Masters, the favorite soul pet of lazy people.

It was just that it was not easy to raise. One had to have a mine at home, otherwise, they could not afford to feed it.

Moreover, the training period was long and almost useless in the early stages…

However, the later it was, the combat strength enhancement provided by these soul pets was very terrifying. The difficulty of nurturing them was not high, but it was too expensive.

However, not everyone could last until the later stages.

If one didn’t choose a useful soul pet in the early stages, they wouldn’t have any experience as a Contract Soul Master. Soul pets were usually chosen by late-stage Contract Soul Masters.

Wang Che found it interesting, so he checked the information. After searching for a while, he finally found some information about An Ye.

She had indeed brought three accessory soul pets.

“The fourth-year student with the lowest profile in the Dragon Martial Academy. It’s said that she’s the disciple of a Heavenly King. I wonder which one it is.”

“She doesn’t participate in competitions, doesn’t participate in competitions, trains alone, has three soul pets, and has never appeared before. In the four years of university, no one knows what her soul pets are. She’s also very mysterious in school…”

The more Wang Che read, the more interesting it became.

In modern society, there were not many soul masters who could cultivate so quietly.

Resources did not have many activities, so they could only belong to others.

Even if they had a mine at home, it was very difficult to buy some resources. Otherwise, why would those Contract Soul Masters risk their lives to explore the Soul Earth or illusions?

“The only event I’ve participated in is the Myriad Beast Festival. The martial soul is… Atlas Heart? Heart? Is this a special organ martial soul?”

Wang Che was slightly stunned.

He looked at An Ye.

No wonder her appearance did not change after possession.

Special organ-type martial souls were branches of humanoid martial souls. They were very rare in the present world.

After the martial soul possessed her, the appearance did not change much. That could only be a similar martial soul.

Ordinary Contract Soul Masters could not even tell the martial soul!

“Atlas Heart, what heart martial soul is this?”

He frowned slightly.

There was a source for the branches of humanoid martial souls.

For example, Zheng Shaoyang’s Qilin Arm.

This Qilin Arm was an arm cultivated by a peerless expert in the Fallen Ancient Era. Its arm was combined with a Qilin soul bone to form a unique Qilin Divine Arm. It could usually accumulate strength. Once it fought, it could erupt with power several times greater than its own. It was an extremely powerful martial soul.

Although Zheng Shaoyang had been beaten many times, he could advance in the preliminary stage even if he was only a second-year student.

Among the many humanoid martial souls, as an organ-type martial soul related to the heart, it was one of the strongest!
