Chapter 120: Wang Che’s Instinct, Deducing the Void?

“I didn’t expect the Ghost Disciples to have grasped the method of spreading Black Blood Cancer. It’s very troublesome.” The captain’s voice was cold, “But they also exposed this point. We’ll immediately send this news to the war zone headquarters and report it to the Federation. All the war zones will be on guard in the future.”
“Student Wang, you’ve done a great service again!”
Wang Che knew what this captain meant.
In order to kill him, those Ghost Disciples did not hesitate to expose this secret.
It would be fine if they killed him.
Now that they failed, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.
The illness of Black Blood Cancer was definitely not simple.
It might involve some of the secrets of the war with the other world.
However, Wang Che naturally did not care.
“I think that those Ghost Disciples might have other plans,” Wang Che said casually, “Were they really trying to kill me without regard for exposing this secret, or were they only doing this as an experiment while killing me in passing? There’s an essential difference in this.”
If it was the latter, it meant that the Ghost Disciples were not afraid of exposing this secret.
They only wanted to test it out. Killing him was just a passing thought.
Then, there would definitely be even more terrifying methods in the future!
The captain was stunned when he heard this.
“So, it’s best if you investigate thoroughly,” Wang Che suggested.
“You’re right,” the captain said solemnly.
At this moment, a voice came from afar.
“Captain, come over and take a look!”
The captain immediately said to Wang Che, “You and your soul pets recover first. Come back with us later.”
Wang Che nodded.
Then, he thought about the details of the battle.
The rewards were naturally great.
Not to mention teaching the Magnetic Sword the sword technique and cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture, the improvement of the green caterpillar was huge.
The first was telepathy.
Indeed, only battles between life and death could rapidly grow.
Wang Che was very pleased to be able to communicate telepathically with the green caterpillar.
In this Aviation Cup, Wang Che dared to say that no soul pet or Contract Soul Master could reach this stage.
Under normal circumstances, if not for the long years of intimacy, it was impossible to achieve telepathy.
How strong was telepathy?
Soul skills were seamlessly cast. The human and soul pet could become one. After mastering it, one could use a powerful soul skill combo.
It had only been less than half a year. No matter how amazing the third-year students were, they could not do this.
Even some incomparably rare mental-type soul pets with innate telepathy couldn’t do it!
This type of telepathy was possible because a soul pet could sense the soul of a Contract Soul Master.
However, the Contract Soul Masters could not sense the soul pet’s mind. It was a one-way telepathy.
The effect was far inferior to the telepathy achieved through the soul contract.
For Wang Che and the green caterpillar, not only had the soul contract reached an extremely high level, but they had also experienced a true life and death battle.
Secondly, it had finally learned the move, Near Death Eruption.
It was so difficult to learn.
However, the effect was obvious.
“Martial Soul Armament, Rumbling Tail Strike, Insect Concealment, Insect Concealment, Raging Flame Strike, Energy Bomb… Near Death Eruption… Basically, all of its soul skills are usable now.”
Wang Che shook his head. He had used all his trump cards, erupted with potential, and schemed in battle.
For example, the Energy Bomb. If the green caterpillar had not used this move, it would have died.
Every soul skill played a crucial role.
Even so, it could not win against a Level 30 Skill Soul Master who had little combat strength.
In the end, it still did not kill the Ghost Disciple.
Soul masters with soul pets, even if they were only supportive Skill Soul Masters, were incomparably powerful.
If the rescue team had not arrived in time, he might really have to fight to the death in this weakened state.
With the situation just now, Wang Che naturally had a way to get rid of that Skill Soul Master.
However, the price would not be small.
“After this battle, the green caterpillar has truly grown.”
The growth of a soul pet.
Not only could it be seen with the naked eye, but the growth of the body, soul power cultivation, and soul skills could also be seen.
Among them, it also included the soul pet’s own fighting quality, increase in intelligence, accumulation of experience, mental will, and so on.
These things that were difficult to see with the naked eye were all growth.
At the same cultivation level, a green caterpillar that had experienced life and death situations was much stronger than a green caterpillar that had been nurtured normally.
As Wang Che was thinking about this battle, the captain on the other side walked over.
First, he saw a large group of Thousand-legged Flying Ants that were lying on the ground with lightning flashing all over their bodies.
He took a deep breath. In the rain, even the water was sucked into his mouth.
When he rushed over to help, to be honest, he did not think too much about it.
He could not understand the actual situation either.
At such a far distance, the weather was harsh. The wilderness communication signal was extremely poor, and many equipment were useless.
The Agility Soul Master only saw the surroundings of the Ghost Disciple and locked onto it with his mind.
He would cooperate with a high-level Battle Soul Master to snipe and kill the target.
However, there was no other detailed situation.
But…
“The Thousand-legged Flying Ants are all paralyzed and haven’t suffered much damage. There should be more than 4,500 of them… Among them, two of them have been paralyzed. Their cultivation levels are basically below 1,000 years, and a small number are above 1,000 years.”
The team member reported, “However, I don’t know how this was done… Without harming them, and paralyzing them completely… I’m afraid even high-level Contract Soul Masters can’t do that. Moreover, judging from the paralysis, it should recover in half an hour to an hour…”
“According to my guess, unless the lightning struck these Thousand-legged Flying Ants in the rain, but even if it was hit by lightning, logically speaking, the power should not be enough to paralyze all the Thousand-legged Flying Ants.”
“Moreover, how can it be hit so easily…”
“Currently, the four high-level medical soul masters have started the treatment process… The good news is that because of the paralysis, the Black Blood Cancer has not spread. It should be able to slow down the illness and won’t die. Additionally, send a high-level medical soul master over. It’s estimated that the treatment will be completed in a few hours.”
“Without a high-level Contract Soul Master to suppress it… I didn’t expect this situation…”
The captain listened to the report carefully and was silent.
The few members were clearly shocked by this situation.
This captain of his, a dignified Level 68 Contract Soul Master, was also shocked when he heard this.
Just like the other routes, there were two to three high-level Contract Soul Master teams suppressing these soul beasts that had fallen ill.
That was normal.
But…
This was a f*cking student!
“This is the young hero, Wang Batian, who shattered the Ghost Disciple’s scheme in the Floating Forest?” The captain could not help but whisper, “How did he do it? This is too powerful.”
He had lived for decades and had seen many geniuses.
He had been in the army for many years and had encountered many complicated situations.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
At this moment, another member shouted, “Captain, come here!”
The captain hurried over.
“Captain, the identity of this Ghost Disciple has been confirmed.”
This member coughed and said, “His name is Xue Zhendi, and he’s an elite ghost soldier. He disappeared in the Soul Demon Illusion that was created in the wilderness of the Eastern Sea Continent thirty years ago. After he came out, his temperament became abnormal, and his mind became chaotic. He was nurtured into a Ghost Disciple. His martial soul is a commonly found type in the Eastern Sea Continent, the Demon Conch. He has three soul pets: the Rain Demon Butterfly, the Flying Speed Bird, and the Trickster.”
“At the same time, he’s also the sworn brother of Xue Batian who fled in the Floating Forest last time.”
“What’s the situation?” The captain asked.
“It’s strange.” The captain thought for a moment and said, “Third Brother discovered that when he saw him with his perception, he was already in an extremely weak state.”
“Logically speaking, a Skill Soul Master shouldn’t be so stupid as to not have any defense methods.”
“But Fifth Brother took care of him with one shot. There was no obstruction at all. He won very easily… Even if there was a difference of more than 20 levels, it was still a little surprising…”
“It’s like we stole the kill…”
“…” Captain.
“Only when we carefully investigated the scene did we discover that… this fellow’s soul pets have all lost their fighting strength.” The team member couldn’t help but say, “There are traces of heavenly lightning on their bodies… moreover, from the situation of the three soul pets, they must have experienced a huge battle… but we can’t analyze the specific situation of the battle…”
“What do you mean?” The captain frowned.
“There are traces of the Rain Demon Butterfly’s wings being burned by flames. According to the destruction at the scene, there should also be traces of Energy Beam, Gale, Energy Bomb, and several other soul skills.”
“Most importantly… the soul skill that caused the fatal damage is unknown.”
“We can’t determine the information of the soul skill from the fatal injuries they suffered… It’s as if they were struck by some powerful force.” The team member paused, “But we can’t determine what soul skill it is…”
“You can’t determine?” The captain was stunned.
They were all experienced high-level Contract Soul Masters.
They could easily determine the traces of a hundred-year or thousand-year soul skill.
The fatal injury could not be determined?
“The ground is showing signs of cracking. From its size, it seems that the green caterpillar has crawled into it before… Burrowing soul skills don’t have such power… Moreover, it’s not something a green caterpillar can learn.”
“According to the judgment of the few soul skills, there might have been other soul pets who joined the battlefield?”
The team member became more and more confused and shocked as he spoke, “But it doesn’t seem possible…”
When the Level 30 Ghost Disciple Skill Soul Master was discovered, why did he appear extremely weak and his soul pets had all lost their fighting strength?
What sort of battle had they experienced?
They were confused.
Whether it was the situation of the Thousand-legged Ants or the situation of the Ghost Disciple and the three soul pets, they could not analyze the details.
They could not imagine what Wang Batian had done.
“Forget it.” The captain was silent for a moment before waving his hand. He glanced at Wang Che’s position, “There’s no need to know. We just need to understand the general situation. Hurry up and treat him!”
The other members nodded.
Wang Che felt the captain’s gaze and did not care.
In this battle, the green caterpillar’s trump cards had been exposed.
However, the Ghost Disciple was also gone.
Be it using the Heavenly Lightning Slash to trigger the lightning and numb the ants,
or the fight against the Ghost Disciple, no one else saw it.
These high-level Contract Soul Masters of the military could analyze many things. Other than the Near Death Eruption and the Martial Soul Armament, they should be able to analyze everything.
But not only would he not tell anyone, he would also keep it a secret.
However…
Wang Che raised his head slightly and looked up.
His divine sense did not discover anything.
However, Wang Che had a feeling that someone was looking at him.
Instinct had nothing to do with divine sense.
It was Wang Che’s instinct after countless battles and experiences.
It was hard to say if it was accurate or not…
If his intuition was wrong, it did not matter.
If he was right, then there was definitely a powerful Contract Soul Master far stronger than him hiding in the dark.
‘However, even if my intuition is right, it must not have any ill intentions. Otherwise, it would have appeared long ago and killed me.’
Wang Che pondered for a few seconds. “It’s definitely not from the military. Although I have Wang Batian’s identity, the West Peak Continent will not arrange for such a powerful professional Contract Soul Master to secretly protect me. Moreover, if it didn’t attack the Ghost Disciple and the ant swarm, it’s definitely not from the military.”
‘To be precise, it shouldn’t be an official force. Then, it’s a powerful Contract Soul Master from the neutral faction?’
Wang Che’s heart jumped.
The neutral faction meant that neither side would help the other.
Either it was a coincidence that it encountered him and was watching the show, or it was secretly observing him after being sent by someone else!
It was unlikely that it was here to save him. Otherwise, it would have attacked just now…
If it was a show, it would just pass by here. It was just a coincidence.
‘If my intuition is right, the most likely person is someone sent to observe me… If that’s the case, the only one with this background and strength… according to the people I know and understand, is only… Lin Xi?’
Wang Che frowned slightly as if he had thought of something, “With Lin Xi’s background, she shouldn’t need to take the maglev train with her classmates when entering and exiting the city… If she followed, with her background, it would be understandable if she had a powerful Contract Soul Master secretly protecting her.”
‘Moreover, she seems to have a way to know my identity as Wang Batian… and have guessed a little. Could it be that she guessed that I would be attacked by the Ghost Disciples when I left the city… and that I would expose my strength and secretly let the Contract Soul Master who protected her to come with me?’
‘She wants to see my trump cards… to prepare for the Aviation Cup?’
‘If that’s the case, this Lin Xi is really scheming…’
Wang Che pondered.
However, the precondition was that one’s intuition was correct.
“Of course, I could be just deducing thin air… or rather, the void.”
Wang Che pretended to look up at the sky and washed his face.
Before long, the Contract Soul Master team brought Wang Che and quickly left…
After that, a figure gradually appeared in the sky…
“What’s wrong with this kid… I thought he would discover me… That scared me,” the figure muttered, “Is he just trying to wash his face?”
As the only person who witnessed the entire process, she wanted to help because of Lin Xi’s request.
However… she was forcefully stopped.
Because it seemed that from the beginning to the end, that student had been very calculative.
It seemed that she was unnecessary?
It had to be said that she had seen too many magnificent battles.
However, this battle, which was not very intense, was enough to shock her!
From the moment the lightning struck, her shock had never stopped…
“Such an abnormal green caterpillar… That mysterious soul skill with the color-changing body, especially the last move… Even I’ve never seen it before… I’ve never even heard of it before…”
The figure muttered a few times and its voice suddenly became interested, “Miss Xi, if you meet him at the Aviation Cup…”
She laughed and said, “I’m looking forward to how badly you’ll be beaten…”
