Chapter 83: Why Is He Different From Us?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The fence pit was only 30 meters long.
Under the fence was a grid. Under the grid were many foamy cushions.
Even if it fell in the middle, the person and soul pet wouldn’t be hurt.
Thirty meters was actually very short.
Soul pets with hundreds of years of soul power cultivation could directly jump over.
However, if it wanted to use the Spit Thread soul skill, it would be very difficult to fly through with the soul pet.
There were a total of 28 Contract Soul Masters who had successfully passed, and they were all rejoicing.
Some relied on their strength.
Some relied on luck.
Some of them managed to react in time.
But without exception, they were all true Contract Soul Masters.
There were also a few Contract Soul Masters who specialized in cultivating insects.
However, most of the levels were not high.
Now, there was only one person left.
Of course, most of them were talking about the next two rounds.
They didn’t care much about the last person. After all, he was still a student. This could be easily determined from the fact that his soul pet had always been by his side.
Many students actually came, most of them leaving at the speed of light…
Joining this competition was to gain experience…
At the same time, Wang Che carried the green caterpillar and arrived at the starting point.
Thirty meters away, there was a short railing.
The process was for the soul pet to use Spit Thread to wrap around the railing and borrow the force to fly over.
Just this point alone stopped a small portion of the soul pets.
Because they could not shoot accurately…
Coupled with the fact that it had to spit for 30 meters and also had to consider its toughness, there were many difficulties.
Wang Che patted the green caterpillar’s head.
“Spit the silk more carefully. Otherwise, you won’t be able to reach more than 30 meters.”
The longer and thicker the thread was, the more soul power it consumed.
The green caterpillar nodded.
Spit Thread was the soul skill it had practiced the most. It was its natural instinct.
Moreover, the leaf snacks Wang Che made for it could increase the strength of the threads. They tasted good and the green caterpillar ate them every day.
In the past half a month, due to the time spent on training soul skills, its cultivation speed had decreased slightly, but it maintained a three-year increase every day.
Its soul power cultivation had reached 375 years.
“Alright.”
Wang Che hugged the green caterpillar and pointed at the fence in front, “Use Spit Thread!”
The green caterpillar opened its mouth, which glowed slightly.
The next moment, a thumb-sized white thread shot out!
Seeing this, the eyes of many girls lit up.
But when they saw the thickness of the thread, they shook their heads and sighed.
“It’s fast and accurate… but so thin… What can it do… unless it’s tough enough…”
The person in charge, Mi Xue, frowned slightly.
The white silk accurately hit the fence 30 meters away and wrapped around it several times.
The slime on the thread stuck to the fence like glue.
After the thread touched it, the green caterpillar immediately bit the thread.
“Very good. Let’s go!”
Wang Che nodded. He held the green caterpillar in one hand and flew over with a light step.
This scene was clearly very different from the other contestants who had previously flown over like Tarzan swinging on the trees.
“Damn! Why does he look different from us!”
“I thought I was already very handsome just now… but now, I feel like a monkey…”
“This is definitely trained! This action is so familiar…”
“So pretentious, I want to…”
…
Everyone was surprised.
Such a thin thread was actually not broken!
“Not bad, not bad! It’s so thin and can still maintain a certain degree of toughness!”
Mi Xue’s eyes lit up. She picked up a small document and immediately recorded it.
When Wang Che landed on the stage, he did not waver at all and revealed a handsome but stable look.
The gazes of the dozens of contestants changed immediately.
Especially when they saw the green caterpillar, their gazes were very strange.
Green caterpillar?
The green caterpillar’s thread had such power?
In terms of toughness, among them, the Eight-clawed Spider had the toughest threads, but it was not that thin.
At this moment, Mi Xue flew over with its help.
“Congratulations on successfully passing the first round of the competition.”
Mi Xue’s smile did not change. “Of course, in order to not let you come in vain, you will receive a certain amount of reward after passing the second round.”
“Next, follow me to the second round.”
With that, Mi Xue glanced at everyone and immediately, everyone arrived at the second round.
When they saw the content of the second round, all the contestants, excluding Wang Che, were stunned.
In front, there was an area burning with flames.
Above the flames, there were countless fist-sized steel beads.
“The second stage is to use the Spit Thread soul skill to wrap the steel beads in one go. The more the better.”
Mi Xue introduced, “The temperature of the flames below is not high, only about 800 degrees.”
More than 800 degrees was the temperature of natural gas when a normal family cooked.
But even if it was only 800 degrees…
“Miss Mi Xue, are you joking?” A contestant could not help but ask, “Spit Thread is most afraid of flames… Not to mention 800 degrees, even if it’s only 300 to 500 degrees, the thread will quickly melt…”
The other contestants also looked at Mi Xue, suspecting this competition…
“I’m not joking.” Mi Xue shook her head, her voice cold as she said, “To be honest, the thread we chose has a minimum requirement of 800 degrees. If it can’t withstand high temperatures, your thread won’t achieve a satisfactory effect after processing here.”
“What’s the point?”
“You think 800 degrees is considered high… Then do you know that the top fashion brands in the Federation produce clothes that are meant for the top experts and researchers of various industries? The raw materials of the threads can withstand high temperatures to 8,000 degrees. Do you think that’s even more impossible?”
“If you don’t think it’s enough, you can give up.” Mi Xue finished speaking seriously.
All the contestants fell silent.
This was obviously not a joke.
Actually, they all knew that with these generous conditions, it was not easy to sign a contract and obtain an iron rice bowl.
However, they did not expect it to be so difficult.
This was only the second stage.
Wang Che was not surprised. They were going to produce high-end clothes.
There would definitely be a special effect.
It was heat resistant, light quality, tough enough, and so on. They were all normal needs.
As the raw material, when a soul pet’s Spit Thread increased its soul power cultivation, it could barely withstand the temperature of three to four hundred degrees flames.
After further processing, it could even withstand a high temperature of more than a thousand degrees.
The better the raw material, the higher the temperature it could withstand after processing.
However, to a normal soul pet’s Spit Thread, the high temperature of 800 degrees was clearly impossible.
As for the requirement of 8,000 degrees, it was normal.
Among bug type soul pets, there were also a few extremely rare and powerful soul pets.
After training to a hundred thousand years, the threads that were spat out could easily withstand a high temperature of 8,000 degrees.
This world was huge, and there were many experts.
“It’s okay to give up now.” Mi Xue smiled and said, “We’ve already held several competitions this year, but we haven’t found anyone suitable.”
These words stirred up the fighting spirit in many of the contestants.
They all went to try.
Unfortunately…
Basically, not a single soul pet could retract a steel bead from the threads they spat out.
Some were even quickly melted by the flames as soon as they were spat out…
Until…
“Let me try!”
A contestant walked up.
The soul pet beside him was a Flying Moth.
It was a young and rare soul pet. In the 900s, it would evolve into a Flaming Moth at the third stage.
It was a rare bug and fire attribute dual soul pet.
But now, its cultivation base was only 800 years. It was not dual-element, but just bug type.
Mi Xue nodded.
Soon, the contestant ordered the Flying Moth to use Spit Thread.
The thick thread passed through the flames and rolled to the three steel beads before gradually melting into the flames.
Before it completely melted, it brought back three steel beads.
