Chapter 336: Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique, Showing Abilities, Testing the Results
They set off along the lighthouse and crossed dozens of miles of scorching wasteland.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.
With every step, the temperature would slowly increase.
It was not fatal, but it was unbearable for many contestants and soul pets.
“This path should eliminate many people.”
Wang Che was alone with the little caterpillar’s Magnetic Sword and Bear Treasure, who was enduring the heat.
They moved forward at a moderate speed.
There were many contestants setting off in batches.
On the way, they often encountered groups of contestants.
There were almost no solo participants.
Wang Che pondered for a moment and looked at the three little guys beside him… with these soul pets, it could be considered as a team, right?
The little caterpillar led the way.
It leisurely moved through the wilderness.
The rising temperature did not affect it at all.
It crawled steadily and proudly.
The Magnetic Sword followed behind the little caterpillar and looked around to see if there was any danger approaching.
In this area, there would occasionally be some wild soul pets.
Only Bear Treasure circulated the Nine Yang Limitless Technique to resist the heat.
After walking for about 15 kilometers, Bear Treasure could not hold it in anymore.
The temperature had already risen to nearly 70 degrees.
The yellow-brown wasteland had already begun to gradually turn light red.
As it crawled, the little caterpillar seemed to smell a faint fragrance.
Therefore, it followed the fragrance and sniffed as it wriggled on the ground.
Then, it crawled to Bear Treasure’s feet.
Looking at the red bear paw, it gulped.
The heat was burning its feet.
Bear Treasure roared.
Wang Che used the Life Hand to heal Bear Treasure.
Its feet immediately returned to normal.
Actually, it was not harmful. This temperature could not cause any damage to Bear Treasure.
It was mainly because it was not used to this environment.
The temperature of the ground was even higher than the air, just like how the surface of the Magnetic Sword was very hot.
However, the material of the Magnetic Sword was excellent and did not feel uncomfortable.
It was a machine after all.
For dozens of miles, Wang Che’s speed was average. He trained Bear Treasure along the way.
The closer it was to the competition area, the higher the temperature. Fortunately, Bear Treasure still survived.
If it could not even walk this distance, it would probably have to stay in the soul realm after entering the competition area.
It would waste such a good training opportunity.
Wang Che turned on his communication device and looked at the border of Zone 3. It was only a few miles away.
The distant Transversal Peak Mountain Range was right in front of him. The increasingly red mountain range looked a little terrifying.
“The more I walk, the fewer contestants I see.”
Wang Che glanced around.
In the endless wilderness, it was slightly lonely.
Honey Fire Badgers would often appear in the wilderness to harass the contestants.
This soul pet usually only appeared in desert areas. Its body was extremely resistant to high temperatures and its strength was extraordinary.
The high temperature of the wasteland was not a place for other soul pets.
But to the Honey Fire Badger, it was a treasure ground where it could come and go as it pleased.
“Woo!”
Two Honey Fire Badgers emerged from the wilderness and followed behind Bear Treasure.
Seeing Bear Treasure move forward with difficulty, they immediately laughed mockingly!
The Honey Fire Badger’s personality was mostly jumpy. As a beast, it was also rash and fierce. It liked to wander around and was extremely adventurous.
It was a soul beast that was not to be trifled with.
Their bodies were long and narrow, with scarlet fur and thick skin. They were much smaller than Bear Treasure. They had sharp claws that could dig holes and could easily crush ores. They were good at digging holes.
The two Honey Fire Badgers only had a soul power cultivation of slightly more than a thousand years. They were not considered high among wild soul beasts.
The Honey Fire Badgers followed behind Bear Treasure for a few hundred meters.
“Roar!”
Bear Treasure was already frustrated because of the heat.
Now, it was feeling angry. It was actually mocked and provoked by two Honey Fire Badgers that it could send flying with a slap?
Even a bear could not tolerate this!
It was about to attack.
However, after the two Honey Fire Badgers mocked it, they probably knew that Bear Treasure was not to be trifled with. They laughed a few times and dug a hole to escape.
The angry Bear Treasure’s aura became chaotic, and so did the Nine Yang Limitless Technique.
Seeing this, the little caterpillar wanted to chase after them. Since they dared to mock its little brother, as the boss, it naturally had to stand up for this bear.
The two thousand-year-old Honey Fire Badgers had to be taught a lesson.
The little caterpillar also crawled into the hole. The hole was relatively small, so Bear Treasure definitely could not enter.
Only the little caterpillar could enter.
However, it came out after a while.
It came out alone.
“Ssss?” The Magnetic Sword flew over and looked at the little caterpillar.
“Roar?” Bear Treasure looked at the little caterpillar expectantly.
“Ssss…” The little caterpillar scratched its head awkwardly with its tail and hissed.
It meant that there were too many routes at the entrance of the cave. It was like a maze. There was no sign of the two Honey Fire Badgers.
The little caterpillar was afraid that it would get lost.
Clearly, the Honey Fire Badgers had drilled many channels below.
“Ignore them,” Wang Che said. “We’re a few miles away.”
Bear Treasure nodded and calmed down. It circulated the Nine Yang Limitless Technique again and continued forward.
However, not long after, the two Honey Fire Badgers emerged from the wasteland and called out to Bear Treasure.
“Roar!”
Bear Treasure glanced at it and was unmoved.
Its greatest characteristic was its strong learning ability. It did not need Wang Che to supervise it and could quickly adapt to the environment.
The first time the Honey Fire Badger mocked it, it could make Bear Treasure angry.
Bear Treasure did not care much the second time.
The Nine Yang Limitless Technique circulated at will. Bear Treasure slowly adapted to the temperature and ignored the Honey Fire Badgers.
The two Honey Fire Badgers seemed to find it boring and crawled back into the wasteland.
Seeing this, Wang Che nodded and said, “Not bad. Since you’re cultivating the Nine Yang Limitless Technique, don’t be easily moved by external things. If you can circulate it at will, you won’t be far from perfection.”
The appearance of the Honey Fire Badgers troubled many contestants.
There seemed to be many Honey Fire Badgers in the wilderness.
They had a large underground network underground, occasionally appearing to disrupt the contestants and soul pets moving forward.
However, they could not do anything to these soul beasts.
Once there was danger, they would crawl underground.
Due to the high temperature, the contestants who were already in a bad mood gradually became irritable.
They hated the Honey Fire Badgers even more.
When the two Honey Fire Badgers appeared behind Bear Treasure for the third time and mocked it, Bear Treasure grinned and did not care.
“…” The Honey Fire Badgers.
This Bamboo Bear had a mental problem!
The two Honey Fire Badgers looked at each other.
This Bamboo Bear was actually smiling at them now?
The Honey Fire Badgers did not see Bear Treasure angry. They felt even more bored and even felt defeated.
Therefore, they targeted the Magnetic Sword and the little caterpillar.
However, they discovered that these two soul pets didn’t feel anything about this environment.
They could not be mocked at all.
The badgers could only helplessly burrow into the ground.
Seeing this, Bear Treasure roared with laughter. It was in a good mood!
Bear Treasure’s aura surged as the Nine Yang Limitless Technique circulated. It moved without stopping, and the aura around it changed freely.
The surrounding heat waves were affected, as if they had formed a faint membrane around Bear Treasure that automatically isolated it.
Boundless energy filled Bear Treasure’s body.
“The Nine Yang Limitless Technique has reached perfection.”
Wang Che smiled and nodded. Bear Treasure’s martial cultivation talent was indeed high. Its comprehension in this aspect was too high.
The perfected Nine Yang Limitless Technique could allow Bear Treasure to be immune to cold and heat. Its aura was completely grasped and its body’s strength increased further.
The current Bear Treasure was completely unaffected by the temperature here.
Wang Che threw some refined supplements to the two Honey Fire Badgers.
No matter what, Bear Treasure’s Nine Yang Limitless Technique had grown. Without the mockery of these two Honey Fire Badgers, it might not have comprehended it so quickly.
“Let’s accelerate!”
Since the goal of cultivation had been achieved, there was no meaning in cultivating in this desolate land.
When Wang Che left with the little caterpillar and the others, the two Honey Fire Badgers crawled out and looked at Wang Che and the others’ backs, then at the supplements and food at the entrance of the cave.
They fell into deep thought…
Wang Che, who had been accelerating, had been paying attention to the color of the wasteland.
When the color of the wasteland completely turned light red, this meant that they had already entered the official competition area!
Wang Che looked at the holographic map that appeared on his communication device and enlarged it. He could see that he was already at the border of the competition area.
“The competition area is ahead.”
Wang Che looked ahead solemnly.
He saw flames.
There were flames everywhere!
The temperature suddenly increased!
“Ssss!”
The little caterpillar shouted, indicating that the temperature here had increased greatly!
Sparks constantly appeared in the air as rolling heat waves blew. The sparks that assaulted the face carried a scorching aura, as if they wanted to burn any creature that entered!
This spark was a nightmare when facing a soul pet with thick fur!
Fortunately, Bear Treasure had perfected the Nine Yang Limitless Technique. With a slight circulation, it could isolate the aura around it.
Once these sparks approached Bear Treasure, they automatically slid away as if they had encountered a slippery loach.
“The fire wave here is not high. The flames are less than a meter tall on average.”
“Earth Fire is harder to extinguish than ordinary flames. This is the Earth Fire of the first level. To most Contract Soul Masters who can reach this place, it’s not difficult to extinguish.”
Wang Che looked at the surging flames.
From the map on the communication device, a portion of the area had already slowly turned light blue.
This meant that the Earth Fire had been extinguished.
The fastest had even almost left the range of the first level and entered the second level.
The first level was at least ten thousand meters away from the second level. The range was very wide.
There were a few places that were almost light blue as they rushed to the second level.
One could imagine that a team that could do this was definitely very powerful!
In the vicinity, Wang Che could see many small teams entering the irregular border.
Wang Che did not enter immediately.
Instead, he looked at Bear Treasure and said, “Next, I’ll teach you a minor cultivation technique, which is also a profound body tempering technique!”
“Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique!”
The Body Tempering Technique was a supplementary cultivation technique that martial cultivators had to learn.
The body was the most powerful weapon for martial cultivators.
If he wanted the weapon to become stronger, he naturally had to temper it!
Tempering the body was divided into external and internal tempering.
Internal cultivation was the Grand Martial Force, Cloud Near at Hand, and the Nine Yang Limitless Technique. These three also had extraordinary body tempering effects.
However, internal cultivation emphasized accumulation over time. Without long periods of cultivation, the effects would not be obvious.
As for external cultivation, it used external objects to temper the body.
It was also the most direct and fundamental way for martial cultivators to temper their bodies!
The advantage was that there was no requirement for talent. Moreover, the time was short, the effect was fast, the risk was high, and the cultivation difficulty was extremely high!
The Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique was an external tempering technique.
It used the body’s weapon and flames to temper the impurities in the body.
External cultivation usually emphasized opportunities.
For example, the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique required the use of flames to temper the body. As the body became stronger, the strength of the flames also had to become stronger.
Only then would it be effective.
The little caterpillar’s flames were too powerful and were not suitable for Bear Treasure to complete the initial cultivation.
However, the flames that were too weak could not temper a thousand year soul pet.
Bear Treasure, who had cultivated three sets of martial techniques, coupled with its own species potential, had a very powerful body.
Ordinary flames could not temper it.
This Earth Fire was stronger than ordinary flames, but it was inferior to the little caterpillar’s current flames.
It was a good time to cultivate!
At the same time, cultivating this body tempering technique was rather dangerous. It required the help of medicinal pills and a certain foundation in internal refinement.
Of course, since he chose to teach, the conditions were naturally sufficient.
Wang Che briefly explained this body tempering technique to Bear Treasure.
After Bear Treasure heard this, it glanced at the raging flames.
?????
Enter the Earth Fire to cultivate?
Would it become a roasted bear when it came out?
“Ssss!” The little caterpillar nodded, indicating that Wang Che’s method was very powerful. Bear Treasure had to dare to try!
The Magnetic Sword felt that its big brother was interested in the roasted bear paw and wanted to harm Bear Treasure.
Seeing Bear Treasure hesitate, Wang Che knew this was normal. After all, this body tempering technique sounded very dangerous.
The Bamboo Bear was flammable.
The fur on its body was easily ignited.
If it ran into the Earth Fire to temper its body, it would indeed be very dangerous.
“Don’t worry, the hair will grow back.”
Wang Che said, “The initial body tempering will indeed burn all your hair, but you won’t become a roasted bear… The Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique uses Earth Fire to temper and absorb the energy in the Earth Fire. This is a good opportunity for you to improve.”
“Your body will undergo a qualitative change!”
The path of martial arts was much harder than other cultivation paths.
External cultivation techniques were even more difficult.
“After learning the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique, you won’t be afraid of the little caterpillar’s fire-type soul skills in the future.”
Wang Che encouraged, “Your body will also be extremely powerful. You can send the little caterpillar flying with one punch.”
Bear Treasure glanced at the little caterpillar and nodded firmly.
‘I’ll learn it!’
The little caterpillar: “?”
“Very good!”
Wang Che smiled and explained the cultivation formula and key points of the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique.
“This is a Heart Protection Pill. It can protect your heart.”
Wang Che fed Bear Treasure a medicinal pill, “The Earth Fire is very dangerous. This isn’t a normal flame. Fire has an extremely strong burning and penetrative effect on the soul pet’s body. Even if a fire attribute soul pet has a high immunity to fire, after being burned by the Earth Fire for a long time, its body will suffer a certain amount of internal injuries. In serious cases, it can be life-threatening.”
“This Heart Protection Pill will help you hold on to your last breath. If you can’t stand it anymore, you’ll come out.”
Cultivation was very dangerous.
Some body tempering techniques were even more dangerous and could not be cultivated casually.
Bear Treasure, who had already made up its mind to cultivate, did not retreat at all!
It directly stepped into the Earth Fire.
In an instant, flames surged from all directions, instantly drowning Bear Treasure.
It was indeed uncomfortable to resist the Earth Fire with its body.
Back then, the Magnetic Sword was struck by lightning to cultivate, and now, Bear Treasure was roasted to cultivate.
Of course, there was a difference between the two.
“Ssss?” The little caterpillar looked at Bear Treasure in the flames and asked Wang Che if it wanted to reduce the flames.
“There’s no need. The current level of the Earth Fire is just enough to surround Bear Treasure,” Wang Che said. “It can temper its body in all aspects. The Heart Protection Pill itself also has a few soul plants that contain water energy. After enduring the initial stage, it will be much better.”
“If the Earth Fire is too weak, it won’t have much of a cultivation effect.”
The little caterpillar nodded and waited quietly.
The Magnetic Sword looked at Bear Treasure in the Earth Fire and felt as if it was looking at itself when it first cultivated.
The difference was that it had a strong resistance to lightning back then.
Bear Treasure had no resistance to fire.
If it had resistance to Earth Fire, it would not have any cultivation effect.
The flames of the Earth Fire burned Bear Treasure. After using the Iron Armor, its fur was like steel and glowed.
However, under the burning of the flames, its entire body began to turn red.
The scorching flames seeped into its body through its external fur. The surging earth fire energy began to temper Bear Treasure’s body through the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique.
The process was painful.
On the path of cultivation, one could not see the rainbow without experiencing some pain.
Not to mention the path of martial cultivation, any Great Dao would have to go through pain.
Even other soul pets had to train day and night to cultivate the Soul Guiding Skill or increase their soul skills.
In order to advance its soul skill, the little caterpillar often suffered various injuries when practicing the Raging Flame Strike in school.
The training in the dream realm was also a boring process.
Soul skills required a large amount of time to advance. It was very painful to repeat the same thing.
Sometimes, it still needed to be comprehended. After all, when soul pets cultivated in reality, there was no progress bar. When their proficiency reached the advanced level, they could only rely on comprehension.
Most of the little caterpillar’s soul skills had advanced to a thousand-year soul skill. It was unknown how many times it had cultivated in the dream realm.
Ever since it gained the Dream Realm Space, the little caterpillar had basically never had any beautiful dreams.
At first, it could often dream of the majestic True Dragon that Wang Che drew.
The dreams now were all about practicing various moves.
The proficiency of the Magnetic Sword seemed to have increased quickly.
Other than its talent, it was also very boring to swing the sword a thousand times a day without moving.
After becoming a habit, boredom would be relative.
Moreover, the number was constantly increasing.
“I’ll teach you cultivation techniques and guide your cultivation. However, whether you can succeed and how far you can go will ultimately depend on yourselves…”
Wang Che looked at Bear Treasure, who was gradually in pain, and sighed.
In the past, talent was indeed crucial for those who could reach the peak, but hard work was also indispensable.
Time passed.
The fur on Bear Treasure’s body gradually disappeared.
It turned into a bare Bamboo Bear.
However, its body was covered in a faint glow, like an alloy that gave off an indestructible feeling.
At the same time, the surrounding flames slowly weakened!
“The Body Tempering Technique is starting to take effect.”
Wang Che calculated the time. About half an hour had passed.
According to Wang Che’s estimation, the first time Bear Treasure cultivated the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique, it would be considered a success if it could last for more than two hours.
The cultivation time would be shorter and shorter because after adapting to the Earth Fire, the effect of each cultivation would gradually decrease, and the time would naturally be shorter and shorter.
It did not matter if the fur was burned. It would grow back.
Moreover, the fur that grew would be more resilient and slowly possess extremely high resistance to fire, flexibility, and firmness!
When using a defensive soul skill, the effect would be even stronger!
Of course, the color would not change. The color was determined by Bear Treasure’s genes.
Bear Treasure did not say a word. After its expression gradually adapted, it slowly relaxed.
Its bare head was sparkling under the fluorescent light.
It had become bald and strong!
Its body was like gunpowder that was about to explode, erupting with surging power.
Two hours passed in a flash.
The flames around Bear Treasure had gradually extinguished, revealing the red desolate soil.
The time was about as Wang Che had estimated.
Bear Treasure opened its eyes and walked out of the flames.
Without hair, it looked strange. Wang Che took out a training suit and put it on Bear Treasure.
It was surprisingly handsome!
The little caterpillar used water to make a mirror for Bear Treasure.
Bear Treasure: “…”
After putting on his clothes, Bear Treasure looked rather normal. Only its head was bald and very strange.
“The hair will grow back soon. Don’t worry,” Wang Che said, “How do you feel now?”
Bear Treasure tilted its head and thought. It felt that its entire body was filled with power!
It was hard to say, but looking at the Earth Fire, it was not very afraid.
“Eat some medicinal pills to cool down. After recovering, you can cultivate again.”
Wang Che said, “Look, you used Earth Fire to temper it just now. The surrounding Earth Fire has been extinguished.”
“Little caterpillar, go to the wasteland and search for anything good.”
With Bear Treasure’s cultivation location, there was only red wasteland within 50 meters.
He let the little caterpillar try to find something good.
The surrounding Earth Fire was still burning, but it did not spread over.
The location of the Earth Fire core was controlled. As long as the Earth Fire was extinguished, it would not continue to be produced.
Bear Treasure was completely red and looked like a Flame War Bear.
Wang Che prepared a large number of supplements and pills. After choosing a few for Bear Treasure, he used the Life Hand and the Lightning Hand.
The Life Hand could help Bear Treasure recover. The Lightning Hand could activate the remaining earth fire energy in Bear Treasure’s body and continue the tempering effect.
At the same time, the Earth Fire energy could not remain for too long, otherwise, it was easy to suffer internal injuries.
The Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique was an extremely dangerous body tempering technique, especially for the flesh and blood body. It required preparation before cultivation and recovery after cultivation.
Otherwise, if he cultivated for a long time, its body would not be tempered well and it would suffer internal injuries.
The more painful Bear Treasure was in the Earth Fire, the more comfortable it was now.
After a short ten minutes, Bear Treasure’s body gradually returned to normal. Other than its fur, it had already returned to normal.
“Ssss!”
The little caterpillar walked to the piece of wasteland and used its thread to fiddle with the slightly soft soil.
After a few minutes, it rolled out an irregular red stone and handed it to Wang Che.
“A piece of fire ore that is about the same quality as the ore I dug up in the Floating Forest… I can dig up many things in the Earth Fire Area of the first level… Not bad.”
Wang Che nodded slightly, feeling that this thing was not bad.
“Advance!”
Wang Che stepped on the hot red soil and walked forward.
The range of the Earth Fire on the first level had to be completely adapted to Bear Treasure.
This was because in the area of the next few levels, the power of the Earth Fire gradually increased, and the temperature became higher and higher.
If it could not even adapt to the first level, it was impossible to cultivate the next few levels.
As long as it adapted to the Earth Fire on the first level, the subsequent levels would not be too painful and difficult to cultivate.
In order to ensure Bear Treasure’s cultivation, Wang Che still did not walk quickly…
——
In the center of the Transversal Peak Lighthouse.
At the top.
In the air, there was a huge panoramic map of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.
On the map, there were dense green dots that surged towards the Transversal Peak Mountain Range from all directions like a tide.
The red area on the map was shrinking at a considerable speed.
“The effect of this competition is obvious! The speed at which the Earth Fire is extinguished is much faster than when we sent the army to extinguish it… The huge advantage in numbers created such a fast extinguishing speed.”
Li Yanming looked at the situation on the map and sighed.
“It’s mainly because the practical benefits of forming a team are too high.”
Yue Zilin smiled and said, “Many students who are relatively weak and don’t have strong survival abilities but have some support abilities can play a very important role with powerful help.”
“Many of these university students have participated in the previous King’s Cup and have undergone team training. They already have good experience in this aspect.”
“Three days should be enough.”
The room was filled with the big shots of the West Peak Continent.
There were also other staff members.
At this moment, two old men walked in.
“Everyone, you’re a little late. How’s the competition going?” The old man on the left said.
He was wearing a sea-blue robe and looked energetic. He was the Cloud Sky Heavenly King of the Chaotic Sea Continent, Hai Yunkong.
“Senior Hai…” Li Yanming stood up and looked at the old man beside Hai Yunkong. He smiled and said, “Senior Zhan is here too? There’s no such thing as late or not. As long as the two seniors can come, you can come at any time.”
Li Yanming glanced at the map and asked the soldier beside him to enlarge it slightly. The map scanned with a faint light.
It locked onto the four green dots at the front of the third zone.
“The situation is not bad. Seniors, look here…” Li Yanming pointed at the four green dots and smiled, “These four are led by Li Yunxiu. They’re almost approaching the third zone. A total of five hours have passed. They should be able to approach the fifth zone on the first day.”
“Senior Zhan, your Flame Spear Continent’s Battle Soul Academy is still the best.”
Li Yanming praised.
“I haven’t been to the Battle Soul Academy for a long time. I’m only there in name.” The old man laughed loudly and said, “The reason why the Battle Soul Academy is so powerful is because of their hard work. I know Li Yunxiu, this little girl. Her potential is unfathomable. Her future achievements will be very high, but she’s only in the limelight now. She should be surpassed soon.”
“There are still many geniuses in this competition. The top universities all have their own teams participating. They haven’t used their full strength yet.”
The old man was rather modest.
Li Yanming smiled and said, “The Earth Fire is not an ordinary flame. It’s not weaker than the flames in the Earth Flame Cave in the Flame Spear Continent. With this result, it shouldn’t be that difficult for the later teams to catch up. At this speed, they will at least be the first to enter the sixth level!”
“What about the area of the Earth Fire?” The old man waved his hand and asked, “It’s nothing impressive to just charge quickly.”
“It’s close to 10,000 square meters and is still in first place,” Li Yan said. “It’s half the size of the second place and is still spreading rapidly.”
Li Yanming pointed at the four green spots. The green range around them was spreading at a visible speed.
This meant that more Earth Fire was extinguished.
“Is there a live feed?” Hai Yunkong asked.
“There are those on the first five levels. The Earth Fire Area of the sixth and seventh levels are close to the cave, greatly disturbing the perception of the Cloud Sky Aviation Star. It can only sense the location and the range of the flames.”
Li Yanming said, “We only calculate the area of the flames and their location in real time. Only when the contestants send a distress signal will we immediately let the Cloud Sky Aviation Star retrieve the real-time image and provide support to reduce the consumption of the Cloud Sky Aviation Star.”
“According to the resource information they uploaded, their total points are the highest.”
“It reached more than 67,000 points.”
The total points were related to the area of the flames, the number of resources obtained, the special circumstances encountered, the allocation of the team, and so on.
It was rather complicated and was calculated in real time by the Cloud Sky Aviation Star.
The final points were still calculated after the competition ended.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… the Battle Soul Academy is really impressive.” Hai Yunkong walked over and glanced at them, “Old Man Zhan, you also produced a few good seedlings last year, right?”
“I don’t know, I really don’t know.” The old man chuckled, “In the past few years, I’ve been in the center of the war zone and haven’t returned to the Battle Soul Academy many times. I only have the title of principal.”
“Just keep pretending.” Hai Yunkong sneered, “What about our Southern Three Continents’ United Academy?”
“Shen Minghai’s team is temporarily ranked third,” Li Yanming said. “His results are also very good. He’s not much different from the team in second place.”
“Oh?” Hai Yunkong was slightly surprised, “Our Southern Three Continents’ United Academy has the most water-type soul pets. Shen Minghai’s soul pet is even a ten-thousand-year Rain Demon Whale. Coupled with his sister’s Nether Pool martial soul, the Earth Fire should be extremely easy to deal with. I can barely accept them being slower than Li Yunxiu… this second place Central Academy is also so powerful?”
The Central Academy was an academy established in the war zone central.
There were many experts, but being strong did not mean that they were good at this competition…
“Last year, the Central Academy produced a rather special student called Hu Lu,” Li Yanming said. “His martial soul is only an Outstanding grade Fire Gourd that can release and collect flames…”
“I know about the Fire Gourd.” Hai Yunkong smiled and said, “But there’s a limit to absorbing flames. His martial soul is a spatial martial soul related to flames. It’s indeed very rare. However, it can only absorb and release flames. It can’t absorb other energies.”
“Moreover, he was a new student last year. His soul power level is not high. The space inside the gourd is not high, so he can’t absorb many flames.”
“But he has a few even more powerful teammates…” Li Yanming smiled and said,” The Central Academy is filled with all sorts of soul masters, and there are all outstanding ones. Among the three teammates, one of them has a martial soul called the Illusion Granule Solution. This martial soul can transform into a martial soul of the same grade and below. At the same time, it has some effects. ”
“This person’s martial soul is Level 35. Coupled with the mental-type soul pet, the Divine Brain Worm, it can allow him to increase the power of the Fire Gourd to the greatest extent. He can absorb a lot of Earth Fire and then combine the Earth Fire with the other two teammates to slowly melt it into energy replenishment.”
“They don’t have a water or fire attribute soul pet. They relied on this Fire Gourd to absorb large amounts of Earth Fire.”
“This tactic is even more interesting than the Divine Capital Academy.”
“Illusion Granule Solution…” Hai Yunkong frowned, “This is a Legacy grade martial soul… I see…”
“Currently, among the teams with the highest total points, only this team doesn’t have any water-type soul pets. It can only rank second by relying on its martial soul and soul pet combination.”
Li Yanming nodded and said, “The rest are either weaker than them or have at least one water-type soul pet. However, their upper limit shouldn’t be high. They can at most reach the fifth level. This is because the Earth Fire on the sixth level is very powerful. If they rely on their martial soul to absorb it, they might not be able to last.”
“This competition is very interesting.” Hai Yunkong smiled.
“Yes, the Contract Soul Masters of the other continents can be said to have each displayed their own abilities.” Li Yanming agreed, “On the Ice Plain Continent’s side, a team full of ice-type soul pets easily entered the top ten. As an ice-type soul pet countered by fire, to be able to have such an outstanding performance in the environment of the Earth Fire is very extraordinary. Moreover, the aftereffects are very strong.”
“But overall, the third and sixth levels are a hurdle.” Li Yanming smiled, “In addition, it’s night now. Due to the night weather, the temperature at night will decrease a little. The situation should change at noon tomorrow and the next two days.”
“Oh right…” Hai Yunkong suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, “Where’s Wang Che? Last time, this guy extorted me in my Chaotic Sea Continent. He got another large amount of dragon scales from Senior Dragon. What’s going on this time?”
“Ha, speaking of him, I have a deep impression of him too!” Heavenly King Zhan laughed loudly, “The last time Old Hai followed Senior Dragon to observe, I still remember it clearly. This kid stroked the dragon scales like it was a joke.”
“Which team is he on?”
Li Yanming and the others smiled awkwardly.
They seemed to know Wang Che’s situation very well.
“He doesn’t have a team… He’s currently wandering around the first level of the Earth Fire Zone…” Li Yanming said, “His performance is average. Previously, several teams wanted to pull him in, but he didn’t agree.”
“He’s still on the first level?” Hai Yunkong thought for a moment, “His soul pet and martial soul don’t have any advantage over this competition. He hasn’t formed a team yet. Could it be that he just wants to participate for fun?”
“I don’t believe you.” Heavenly King Zhan smiled and said, “When I was young, I didn’t want to form a team to show off. It was because I had some secrets that I didn’t want to tell others and preferred making a fortune in silence. Anyway, he can dig up resources by extinguishing the Earth Fire this time. Points and whatnot are just empty titles.”
“I have a feeling that he might do something later.”
“That makes sense.” Li Yanming coughed. He was also looking forward to it.
However, soon, this anticipation gradually disappeared after ten hours.
The Earth Fire Competition was unimaginably intense.
Half of the first day, after all the contestants who set off at six in the evening arrived at the first level, it took 13 hours.
More than 90% of the Earth Fire on the first level had been extinguished.
As the largest and easiest area to extinguish, it only took half a day to extinguish most of the Earth Fire.
Less than ten percent of the teams were eliminated.
At noon the next day, most of the teams had already entered the Earth Fire Area of the second level.
The higher the level of the Earth Fire Area, the higher the points obtained from extinguishing it, the better the resources obtained.
Those with the ability to extinguish the Earth Fire of the higher levels profited the most.
Wang Che did not know the situation.
He brought Bear Treasure and cultivated it for nine hours on the first level. After cultivating the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique several times, he walked to the second level.
“It cultivated the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique a total of ten times… Each time, it got faster and faster, and the effect got lower and lower.”
“The resistance of the body to the first level of the Earth Fire is getting stronger and stronger.”
Wang Che watched Bear Treasure grow visibly. As he sighed about the cultivation technique, he also sighed about Bear Treasure’s increasingly tenacious will.
“With the foundation, the danger of the Earth Fire on the next few levels is greatly reduced.”
Following the volcano, it was the second level.
The high mountains turned into fire mountains. The temperature of the Earth Fire in the second level was even higher.
However, at this moment, it was much easier for Bear Treasure to cultivate.
Moreover, the Earth Fire extinguished very quickly. If Bear Treasure cultivated for an hour, it could directly extinguish a large area of Earth Fire.
The little caterpillar scratched its head.
‘I thought I was the one in the limelight in this competition… Why did it become Bear Treasure?’
It, a super caterpillar that was proficient in fire and water and had two divine powers, was actually watching from the side?
Sometimes, it had to help Bear Treasure absorb the Earth Fire from further away to cultivate?
Not only did it not show off, but… it also became a tool to search for resources with the Magnetic Sword.
It was too bitter.
What kind of life was this?!
The little caterpillar skillfully used the thread to explore the red wasteland. From time to time, it would fish out some rare soul plants and ores.
It looked at Bear Treasure who was cultivating in the Earth Fire and sighed.
Looking at the resources piled up around it, it felt satisfied.
‘This is not bad!’ The little caterpillar comforted itself.
This lasted until about four in the afternoon.
Wang Che looked at Bear Treasure in the Earth Fire and thought that it was about time to go to the third level.
There were already teams on the fourth level that were close to the fifth level.
It was indeed impressive to reach the fourth level in a day.
Wang Che glanced at the map and smiled.
He looked at the map mainly to see where else the Earth Fire had not been extinguished, so he brought Bear Treasure to cultivate.
When they rested, they would also encounter some teams and occasionally communicate. Some teams would even invite Wang Che to join, but they were all rejected.
Just like that, the Earth Fire on the second level was gradually extinguished. At about four in the afternoon, Wang Che planned to go to the third level.
At this moment, a muffled roar came from the border of the second level.
After a while, Wang Che brought Bear Treasure forward and saw a four-man team running over.
“Damn, how unlucky. We actually encountered a Red Fire Giant Rock Monster that’s nearly 5,000 years old at this location!” One of the team members cursed.
Wang Che called out one of them.
The person was running away. He was originally a little impatient, but after seeing Wang Che, he still spoke patiently.
“There’s a very abnormal berserk soul beast ahead that has been awakened. The Earth Fire around it is surging and its size is incomparably huge. There’s also a pile of Fire Rock Monsters following it. It’s so troublesome. We can only take a detour to the third level. I wonder which team woke them up but didn’t resolve it… It’s really troublesome as a roadblock!”
The team member ran.
“Ssss!” The little caterpillar shouted excitedly and rushed over!
Charge! Charge!
It could finally fight!
‘That’s great!’
It could not be used as a tool anymore!
The little caterpillar requested to fight!
“Come back!” Wang Che immediately shouted, “Let Bear Treasure go and test the results of the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique.”
The little caterpillar: “?”
