Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Chapter 26: You’re Making Things Difficult for Me!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The user of the Spit Thread Soul Skill would have a large degree of control over how the threads are formed as they are being spat out.

However, after severing the connection, they would be much harder to control.

The green caterpillar did not understand Wang Che’s words.

“Bite the thread with your mouth!” Wang Che quickly instructed.

Hearing this, the green caterpillar immediately did as he was told.

“Very good. Now, try to absorb the threads and feel the soul power within,” Wang Che continued.

Heeding his instructions once again, the green caterpillar opened its mouth and inhaled. The threads spat out were instantly sucked back into the green caterpillar’s mouth like wet noodles.

“How do you feel?” Wang Che asked.

“Do you understand how to manifest your soul power now?”

The green caterpillar stared at Wang Che for a while.

‘Burp!’

After letting out a hearty burp, it continued looking at Wang Che with an awkward expression.

Oh great, it understood nothing.

“Again,” Wang Che said.

“After spitting out the threads, remember not to cut it off. Once you secure its hold on the distant cloud tung wood, try swinging over.”

The green caterpillar, seemingly puzzled by Wang Che’s instructions, hissed in protest.

As if to say, ‘I’m just a green caterpillar!’

‘Do I look like I can fly?’

‘You’re making things difficult for me!’

“How would you know if you don’t even try?” Wang Che encouraged, as if reading its mind. “Look at the beautiful stars above. Don’t you want to try flying to them?”

The green caterpillar lifted its head towards the night sky that was filled with stars. It was absolutely breathtaking, like a scene from a painting.

It began to feel motivated!

Without wasting a moment, the green caterpillar walked up to the window sill and spat out a thick silver thread toward the top of the tung tree.

Because of the leaf biscuits that Wang Che had been feeding it over the past few days, the power level of the green caterpillar’s Spit Thread soul skill had gotten much stronger.

It was even more tough and sticky now!

Pew!

In a split second, the thread attached itself to a protruding branch at the top of the tung tree. The line was as straight and rigid as an electric pole.

Feeling the connection, the green caterpillar jumped onto the windowsill.

However, after looking down, it immediately jumped back towards the room.

“What are you afraid of?” Wang Che was unsure of how to react. “Back when you used your tail to attack that Kuka Beast, you were only half your current height.”

It wasn’t an exaggeration at all. When the green caterpillar had fought the Kuka Beast, it bounced to about three stories high using its tail.

At the time, it seemed completely fearless. Under Wang Che’s orders, it could even launch attacks with its tail.

“What are you afraid of now?”

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

That was a different matter altogether!

This was the sixth floor. It was way too high!

“What’s wrong?”

After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Che walked over. Without saying a word, he picked up the green caterpillar and threw it out of the window.

“Looks like I’ll have to help you out,” he muttered.

Naturally, the green caterpillar was stunned.

When it finally snapped awake, its entire body began to sway in the air due to panic.

Knowing that its body was going to fall to the ground like a rock if it didn’t do anything, the green caterpillar let out an anxious hiss.

In that moment of panic, it decided to bite on the thread and pulled itself towards it.

Right then, the extremely durable threads burst with elastic force, making the green caterpillar’s body jerk upwards.

As if being launched by a slingshot, it suddenly stopped moving. The green caterpillar was now floating in the air.

When it looked towards the sky, it felt like it was flying closer and closer to the stars.

“Ssss…”

The green caterpillar let out a long cry.

However, just as the thread reached its highest point, it was instantly pulled back down again.

Then, the same process repeated, making the green caterpillar bounce up and down repeatedly.

Finally, it managed to land on the top of the cloud tung wood. While balancing itself, the caterpillar looked up at the starry sky again, which felt somewhat different this time.

Wang Che nodded slightly at the sight of this.

‘Look, didn’t I tell you it was possible?’

After a moment.

“Alright, little one, just repeat what you did earlier. Come back!”

Wang Che’s shouts immediately woke the green caterpillar, which had been mesmerised by the beautiful scenery above.

It turned around to look at him with an annoyed expression.

“If you don’t come back here now, there won’t be any more snacks for you tomorrow,” Wang Che said.

Upon hearing this, the caterpillar immediately spat out a string that stuck onto the window sill.

Then, biting onto the threads, it jumped and flew toward the window like Spiderman.

Slam!

However, instead of landing in the room, the green caterpillar crashed into the wall beneath the window.

It was flattened into a long and fleshy shape.

Wang Che was left at a loss for words when he saw this.

Due to its lack of proficiency and mastery of the skill, the little one still could not control its strength well.

On top of that, the window, unlike the cloud tung wood, was much too small as a target.

As such, Wang Che had no choice but to reach for the string and pull the little guy up.

When it was finally dragged into the room, he could see that there was a glaring red mark on the caterpillar’s head.

“You should practice more. How does flying feel?”

“Ssss!”

The green caterpillar nodded repeatedly.

It could not deny that it had indeed felt wonderful.

It was a completely different feeling from when it bounced up with only its tail.

By using the threads as support, the green caterpillar had managed to cover a much greater distance, and in turn enjoyed longer air time. To some extent, it did feel like flying.

“Very good. Now that you’re starting to control your soul power, do you feel any changes?”

Wang Che asked.

The green caterpillar did not respond. Instead, it simply stood in place and began to focus on the flow of soul power within its body.

The special threading technique earlier had made it realise something.

Gradually, a faint hint of soul power emerged from the green caterpillar.

However, the smoke-like matter only appeared for an instant, before dissipating quickly.

Wang Che’s eyes lit up when he saw this.

“Not bad. It seems like you can already control the release of your soul power. Although it doesn’t last long, you’ve already taken the first step. As long as you continue training like this, you should be able to grasp it sooner or later.”

The soul power that it manifested had to be densely concentrated and remain attached to the body.

Otherwise, it would not be able to boost the green caterpillar’s strength.

Upon checking, Wang Che had found a soul skill called Harden.

It was a ten year soul skill that many mountain rock type soul pets knew.

This type of soul skill could be used to control soul power and condense it within the body. As a result, the soul pet’s defense would be greatly enhanced.

Nevertheless, it was quite different from simply releasing soul power. With this soul skill, the soul power manifested would be very concentrated as it envelops the user’s body, making it look like a layer of armor.

In addition to providing a boost in defense, Harden would increase attack strength and speed.

“Don’t connect your soul power to your entire body just yet,” Wang Che instructed. “Try it with a single part first, like your tail.”

The green caterpillar understood his words very quickly this time.

This was because it understood that the other skill it learned, the Rumbling Tail Strike, involved controlling soul power within the body before gathering it at the tail. Then, by forming a posture that circulates the soul power, the green caterpillar’s body would erupt with immense power.

Harden however, required the gathering of soul power external to the body.

Naturally, they were completely different things.

Yet, they did have something in common.

After a moment, the green caterpillar began releasing its soul power and concentrated it all on its tail.

Indeed, it was much easier now that it focused on enveloping a single body part.

However, it was evident that the soul power gathered was still not condensed enough. After a few seconds, it fizzled out and dissipated quickly.

On top of that, it wasn’t possible for the green caterpillar to control too much soul power yet, which means that the skill would not increase its strength by much.

Still, they were on the right track.

Despite its failure to master the skill, the green caterpillar was excited.

It was all very intriguing. Whenever the little one used the Rumbling Tail Strike, its tail would emit a faint glow due to the condensation of soul power in the body.

Now, when soul power was being manifested and wrapped around the tail, it looked like it was covered in a layer of faint flames instead, making it even more dazzling.

It was quite unfortunate that the green caterpillar hadn’t been able to use the Rumbling Tail Strike at the same time, since it was quite curious to see what the tail would look like when the two soul skills were combined.

Though it would not be very powerful at the moment, it would definitely be faster and look even cooler!

Seeing this, Wang Che felt somewhat relieved.

Though the green caterpillar was still a beginner, it had managed to grasp this concept.

However, to see more consistent and better results, it would have to train more.

As long as it stuck to its current course, the green caterpillar would be able to learn the basics of the Soul Armor Haki within a week.

Just like that, Wang Che and the little one stuck to basic training in school during the day. At night, they would train to use the “Soul Armor Haki”.

Until… seven days later…
