Chapter 288: Lightning Drawing Talisman and Spirit Melting Talisman
“The two of you can discuss a match yourself?”
The referee helplessly said, “This is the first time such a situation has occurred in our continent’s Two Kings Competition. The Contract Soul Master and his soul pet are the only Human King and the only Beast King respectively.”
The probability was too small.
It was ridiculous.
Moreover, it sounded very simple, but the actual difficulty was too high.
Both sides had to fight at least ten matches and win them all. They had to reach the end.
If he was careless and encountered a soul pet that countered him, or a Contract Soul Master that was stronger than the soul pet, it was impossible.
The little caterpillar glanced at Wang Che.
They shook their heads.
There was no fight.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to fight. The rewards are yours anyway.”
The referee smiled and said, “However, this situation can be considered a record.”
Wang Che naturally had no objections.
Just like that, the Two Kings Competition ended.
The main rewards of the Two Kings Competition were the qualification to obtain the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate and the choice of a rare soul device.
Considering that the little caterpillar’s mechanical meteorite armor could not keep up with its strength,
Wang Che chose a similar soul device for the little caterpillar, the Mechanical Meteorite Suit.
It saved him the trouble of spending money to buy it.
Compared to the mechanical meteorite armor, it was more suitable for a thousand year soul pet to cultivate.
Of course, it was definitely not damaged this time.
It was complete.
Moreover, the cost was very high. It cost at least three million to buy outside.
It was suitable for soul pets below ten thousand years old. Any soul pet that wore it for a long time could obtain sufficient training and have stronger effects.
However, to a soul pet with only a thousand years of soul power cultivation, wearing the Mechanical Meteorite Suit was a little difficult.
It was just right for the little caterpillar.
The previous mechanical meteorite armor was useless already.
After seamlessly changing into the Mechanical Meteorite Suit, the little caterpillar seemed to have returned to the heavy state when it first wore the mechanical meteorite armor.
The little caterpillar was not satisfied.
It was not easy to completely adapt to the mechanical meteorite armor and ignore the pressure it brought.
It changed into even more troublesome equipment.
Wang Che could only enlighten it.
“You have to think that way. With the Mechanical Meteorite Suit, your physical strength can increase faster.”
“Little Sword’s Dragon Slaying Talisman has not been used yet. With this equipment, when you adapt, your physical strength will increase greatly. The damage caused by the Dragon Slaying Talisman will gradually decrease.”
“When the time comes, I’ll add a few supplementary training talismans in this mechanical meteorite armor. For example, the Strength Multiplier Talisman, the Slowing Talisman, and the Spirit Locking Talisman to increase the effect of training.”
“Then, with the help of the Mechanical Meteorite Suit and these supplementary spirit talismans, the effect will definitely increase!”
“It might be very uncomfortable in the beginning, but as long as you adapt… At that time, if you turn off the mechanical meteorite armor, your strength will increase explosively. Little Sword’s Dragon Slaying Talisman is not a problem for you.”
The little caterpillar’s eyes lit up when it heard that and nodded in agreement.
After the competition ended, it was still early. Wang Che had three hours to rest.
Three hours later, it was the last event, the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.
He needed to go to a ruin to participate.
There were many sources of ruins.
Unlike the Soul Earth, the ruins could have been built by humans in the Remote Antiquity Era, or they could have been special terrain formed after soul beasts died.
In ruins, there was usually abundant and rich life force, an extremely rare resource.
There were various soul beasts living here.
Some ruins were special spaces that had been transformed into natural cultivation venues by humans.
The top universities had their own ruins cultivation ground.
The Emperor Ice Cave Ruins was the testing ground for the Heavenly Gate Fire Seed project.
“After the test begins, you need to enter the ruins and find the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate to bring it back. In the ruins, you will face many tests. Whether you can find it or not will depend on yourself.”
The referee brought Wang Che to their destination.
The location of the Emperor Ice Cave was near the Illusionary Light Island Soul Earth. It was a cold cave world buried underground.
It was a ruin that was not open to the public in the wilderness because there were many soul beasts living inside. Under normal circumstances, no one was allowed to enter the ruin and disturb the soul beasts inside.
Every year, in a few hours, the Emperor Ice Cave Ruins would open for a period of time and let the Contract Soul Masters and their soul pets enter to cultivate.
Comparatively speaking, the ruins were not dangerous.
The soul beasts inside were all awake and didn’t have any ill intentions towards humans. Sometimes, they could even meet some young soul pets in the ruins. If they were lucky, they could catch one or two…
“Keep in touch at all times. The Heavenly Gate Fire Seed is broadcasting live. In the past… cough cough, there were several Human Kings who participated.”
“You’re the only Human King this time, so the audience of the Winter Agricultural Association is all focused on you.”
“The ruins are not life-threatening, but there are many tests… Don’t be too afraid. If you encounter a difficult place, you can come back directly.”
“Don’t feel burdened… After all, no one has succeeded in the past few years.”
“Tell me when you’re ready.”
Near the Emperor Ice Cave Ruins, a chill spread.
The distant ruin was in a basin. There was an ice sculpture door dozens of meters tall.
Above the ruins, the huge Cloud Sky Aviation Star was very familiar.
This Cloud Sky Aviation Star had always been above the North River Continent and was usually used to monitor the wilderness environment of the North River Continent.
It was different from the Soul Earth.
Communication devices could not be used in the Soul Earth.
However, it could be used in the ruins.
Therefore, the live broadcast could be done with a soul device, but it might not be that clear.
This time, the Cloud Sky Aviation Star volunteered and they did not use a soul device.
“I’m ready. Let’s begin.”
The referee nodded. With the Cloud Sky Aviation Star, it actually saved a lot of trouble.
However, the Cloud Sky Aviation Star usually did not participate in the Winter Agricultural Festival.
The Cloud Sky Aviation Star was a large mechanical soul pet of the military and had a high level of self-awareness.
Hearing Wang Che’s response, the referee immediately entered a string of information on his communication device.
In a few seconds, the ice sculpture door slowly opened.
Wang Che looked at the time and quickly walked to the door of the ruins with the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword.
As soon as he entered the door, what greeted his eyes was a pure white world carved from ice.
The chill continued to spread from all directions. Even with the enhancement of the combat clothes, the chill quickly seeped into his body.
The door behind closed.
As Wang Che stepped in, not long after, ice walls rose from all directions. They were winding and endless.
“Ice Wall Maze, the first test of the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.”
Wang Che looked at the maze in front of him.
Maze-type tests were not rare.
However, in this maze, more than 99% of the contestants had been eliminated over the years.
In conclusion, there were only four words:
It was smelly and long.
The maze in the ruins changed every year. The ice walls were like endless ice that could not be broken.
If he wanted to fly through the maze, he had to withstand the bone-chilling temperature of the base.
The higher one flew, the lower the temperature would be. They would also be attacked.
It eliminated the possibility of all the flying soul pets flying over.
If one wanted to forcefully walk over, the requirement for the soul master and soul pet’s will and soul power was extremely high.
It often took more than a few hours to walk out.
After walking out, they were often mentally exhausted and could not move forward at the later stages.
Wang Che did not choose to walk out.
This kind of checkpoint actually had a certain key. After finding the key, one could easily walk out, just like the Soul Tempering Tree in the Floating Forest.
Wang Che released his divine sense and walked unhurriedly, sensing the surrounding ice walls.
The little caterpillar followed behind and looked around.
“Come, use Raging Flame Strike to hit this ice wall.”
Suddenly, the little caterpillar heard Wang Che’s order.
The little caterpillar looked at the ice wall in front of it and felt that there was nothing strange.
However, since Wang Che had given the order, the little caterpillar immediately carried it out.
It immediately used the Raging Flame Strike and began to hit the ice wall in front of it.
The scorching flames emitted an extremely high temperature. As the little caterpillar charged ferociously, the ice wall trembled.
After a few minutes, a roar like ice slowly came from the ice wall.
Soon, the shape of the ice wall changed.
It turned into a Giant Ice Rock more than ten meters tall.
Giant Ice Rock, an ice-type soul beast. Its entire body was made of ice rocks and had extremely strong defense. It could freely change the shape of its body and had very high intelligence.
The ice wall changed. The little caterpillar jumped in fright and immediately retreated to look at the huge creature.
Wang Che was not surprised. He said directly,
“You have two choices now. One, move aside. Two, tell me the correct route to the maze. Hmm, otherwise, it will keep hitting you…”
Wang Che pointed at the little caterpillar that was burning with flames.
The Giant Ice Rock turned around and roared at Wang Che.
It seemed to be asking, ‘How did you discover me?’
Wang Che smiled and said, “Perhaps your ice wall is different? It’s extra spectacular and handsome?”
The Giant Ice Rock nodded as if it was satisfied with Wang Che’s answer and moved aside.
The little caterpillar: “…”
After Wang Che left, it returned to its original ice wall, identical to the other ice walls.
Then, Wang Che used the same trick again. He used the little caterpillar’s Raging Flame Strike to find more than ten Giant Ice Rocks from the countless ice walls and passed through the maze.
He walked out.
It was so fast that it made one’s hair stand on end. They passed this round in less than half an hour.
Countless spectators were silent.
It was impossible to tell with just a glance.
Wang Che sensed it carefully with his powerful divine sense.
To the contestants who wanted to pass, mental strength was the key. If there were mental-type soul pets, they could also think of this point.
They could also walk out easily.
Therefore, the first round was actually not difficult.
It all depended on whether one could think of it or not.
After walking out of the ice wall maze, the surroundings suddenly changed.
Wang Che saw the Fire Seed on an iceberg in the distance.
At such a low temperature, the flames were like a weak light, but it could not be extinguished.
It was magical.
Wang Che continued walking forward and took a step forward.
As if space was distorted, the surrounding scene changed again.
“Ssss…”
Dark voices sounded from all directions.
The voice was very recognizable. It was the voice of the ghost-type soul pet, Ghost Baby.
Ghost Babies were rather strange soul pets. They were ghost soul pets that lived in various ruins.
Normally, they lived by scaring various soul pets. The more creatures they frightened, the stronger their soul power cultivation would be.
The stronger the soul pet they frightened, the easier it was for them to evolve.
Occasionally, they would run outside to scare humans.
It was a ghost-type soul pet that science could not explain in the modern soul pet world.
From its appearance, the Ghost Baby was like a pitch-black shadow with no specific shape.
It would only appear when it tried to scare others.
Before long, a huge ghost face shadow condensed in the air, emitting a hideous and terrifying aura.
The little caterpillar’s heart tightened.
“Ghosts blocking the path.”
The second round.
When the Ghost Babies appeared, they would activate their species soul skill, the Netherworld Space.
The surrounding space would distort.
In the Netherworld Space, the various attribute energies would be greatly weakened.
The lightning that countered ghost-type soul pets was also absorbed by space.
The mental energy of Contract Soul Masters and soul pets greatly decreased in the Netherworld Space and were extremely easily frightened.
It was said that these Ghost Babies had to be frightened before they would scatter.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to pass.
It was impossible to break through the Netherworld Space formed by these Ghost Babies.
It was naturally very difficult to scare these Ghost Babies.
This round eliminated the remaining ten percent of the contestants.
In Wang Che’s opinion, the normal way of clearing was actually not difficult.
Lightning was still the only way to resolve it.
He could just use the Heavenly Lightning to scare these Ghost Babies.
However, most of the lightning would be absorbed by the Netherworld Space.
The power of lightning soul pets would be greatly restricted, so the lightning released naturally could not intimidate the Ghost Babies.
However, to the Magnetic Sword, this was very easy to resolve.
“Activate the Lightning Drawing Talisman and the Spirit Melting Talisman.”
Wang Che took out the Magnetic Sword, “I can use this opportunity to see how effective these two talismans are. If they don’t work, I’ll use another method.”
After giving the instructions, Wang Che raised the Magnetic Sword. Suddenly, lightning flashed!
Two different lightning arcs wrapped around the Magnetic Sword like two swimming dragons.
The lightning emitted by the Magnetic Sword was constantly absorbed by the surrounding Netherworld Space, but under the effect of the Lightning Drawing Talisman, the lightning did not weaken at all. Instead, it became stronger and stronger.
Under the fusion of the two long lightning arcs that were like swimming dragons, they formed a huge bolt of lightning that rumbled.
At this moment, Wang Che swung his sword.
It was a simple move, Lightning Sweeping Army.
In an instant, the huge ghost face in front revealed a trace of fear and scattered under the huge lightning.
The space returned to normal.
The wisp of fire appeared in Wang Che’s vision again.
“The power is considerable. It seems that there’s no need to use the next move.”
Wang Che placed the Magnetic Sword back into the electromagnetic scabbard.
The spirit talismans were indeed powerful.
Wang Che continued walking.
The iceberg was getting closer and closer. Before long, it was right in front of them.
Wang Che stepped onto the ice mountain.
In an instant, the surrounding space changed again. The original ice mountain was actually divided into two, and the other side actually became a volcano!
Raging flames erupted from the center of the ice mountain like a volcano… causing the ice mountain to form a strange sea of flames!
It blocked the way forward!
The Fire Seed was at the center of the intersection of the iceberg and the volcano!
