Wang Che smiled when heard this.
It was understandable for Lin Xi to have mistaken it as a soul skill, though in a way, she wasn't completely wrong.
After giving it some thought, he asked, “Why? Do you want to learn it?”
Lin Xi shook her head. “This is the first time I've seen it, so I'm quite intrigued. This kind of soul skill isn't just something that a normal green caterpillar can learn… Of course, don't misunderstand me, I know when to admit defeat.
“That last Rumbling Tail Strike had been enough to surprise me.
“If a soul pet wants to obtain a soul skill other than those specific to its own genetic sequence, they have to undergo special training to comprehend it or rely on the expensive Soul Guiding Skill. The former method is extremely difficult while the latter is expensive and has a high chance of failure… Seeing that you've managed to train the green caterpillar to learn the Rumbling Tail Strike… your talent is truly terrifying…”
Wang Che simply nodded and said, “Continue.”
He liked it when other people complimented him to his face.
Lin Xi, on the other hand, was taken aback for a moment by his boldness but quickly regained her composure.
“I just didn't expect that… besides the Rumbling Tail Strike…” Lin Xi sighed softly. “You actually managed to teach the green caterpillar a completely new soul skill!”
A brand new soul skill.
It was something that every single soul pet technology group in the federation was working hard to create.
Every year, scientists would research and develop many different soul skills before experimenting with different soul pets. After countless trial and errors, they would finally be unveiled in front of everyone.
However, soul pets only gained the ability to develop completely new soul skills once it had decent strength and cultivation, with the minimum being at least a thousand years of soul cultivation base.
Furthermore, the Contract Soul Master's cultivation level needed to be even greater than that!
It was also necessary for them to have a vast amount of knowledge on soul pet science, genetics, and other related fields of study!
To have trained a soul pet to comprehend a new soul skill in high school before even awakening a martial soul…
This was unheard of!
“You flatter me,” Wang Che responded calmly. “I'm just lucky. In fact, I don't think it's a completely new soul skill at all. There may be other similar soul skills in existence.”
He was clearly being modest.
Lin Xi shook her head again. “This isn't just luck… from what I know, there are other high school students who have managed to teach their soul pets new soul skills just by training them. However, those soul skills are pretty much useless… they don't create any significant effects at all… basically, they don't have much practical value.
“However, the soul skill which was used by the green caterpillar earlier to change the colour of its hide is something completely different.”

“That was definitely an extremely rare and powerful soul skill that has high combat efficacy…”
“Maybe I'm just too inexperienced… similar soul skills may exist out there… but even so, it's still not something that a green caterpillar can master just like that…”
At this point, Lin Xi could only let a sigh tinged with sadness.
“Let's not talk about it. Do you have a name for it?” Lin Xi asked.
“Martial Soul Armament,” Wang Che replied.
He decided to change its name from Soul Armor Haki because the move that the green caterpillar had used earlier was slightly different from the original.
In the process of training his soul pet, Wang Che had incorporated a basic martial arts technique: the Heavenly Dipper Battle Qi, which had some unique principles behind it.
Overall, it was suitable for the green caterpillar's use after having done some modifications.
However, it could not be fully revealed as of yet.
The training would also change subsequently.
“Martial Soul Armament…” Lin Xi repeated it a few times to herself. Once she was satisfied, she gave Wang Che one last look before turning around to leave.
At the same time, as the referee's voice rang out, the dust on the battle stage began to settle as well.
Wang Che and Lin Xi walked down from the stage simultaneously.
As if on cue, the entire venue suddenly erupted with cheers and shouts, as if the floodgates had suddenly been opened!
“Insane! This is definitely the most thrilling Enlightenment Cup finals I've seen in a while!”
“That Cloud Cap Snake was ranked as one of the top three in the entire history of the Enlightenment Cup, and yet it actually lost!”
“It actually lost to a green caterpillar… I'm convinced. God is constantly reminding me that I'm useless!”

“Enough, I know that I'm trash. That green caterpillar actually became the champion of the Enlightenment Cup! If this wasn't a beginner-level competition, the results would have been etched in the history books…”
“Hahaha, brother, don't forget, when it's time for the third year students to graduate, there will be another soul pet fight competition for the entire West Peak Continent! The Aviation Cup! That's the most anticipated soul pet fight in the high school division.”
“I have a strong feeling that this Wang Che will be able to make it to the Aviation Cup!”
“Don't kid around. The Aviation Cup is no joke… There are 15 cities in the West Peak Continent, which will all be represented there. When the time comes, all the Contract Soul Masters graduates will have awakened their martial souls. Each one will be stronger than the last!”
“Just now, the green caterpillar's entire body turned black, as if it was covered in a layer of armor. What soul skill is that? I've never seen it before…”
“I'm not exaggerating when I say that with just this green caterpillar's physical ability, the Spit Thread and Rumbling Tail Strike soul skills, as well as that move I've never seen before… even extremely rare soul pets may not be able to beat it…”
There was an uproar among the audience. Countless parents were engrossed in discussing the match among themselves.
“That's my son!”
Father Wang shouted excitedly while pointing at Wang Che. “That's my son!”
Though he was basically screaming, no one else seemed to bother with him.
“Why are you so excited?” Mother Wang glared at Father Wang. “Calm down, you good-for-nothing!”
As soon as she finished speaking to her husband, she began shouting as well. “I'm the champion's mother!”
Father Wang could only stare at her in disbelief.
Meanwhile, on the third floor observation deck.
“Amazing.”
The blind old man stood up and let out a sigh. “That's a special soul skill formed by manifesting soul power.
“Even among the combat oriented soul pets, there is only one rare hundred-year core soul skill called the ‘Soul Armor', which can greatly increase one's fighting ability.
“To be able to see such a soul skill on a green caterpillar, I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't attended this year's Enlightenment Cup… Moreover, after activating it, every single aspect of the green caterpillar's abilities were instantly enhanced. It's even more terrifying than a normal Soul Armor…
“Besides basic strength, defense, speed, and so on, its reflexes and perception had also improved…
“To be able to encounter such a genius in this tiny Skyheart City… I have no regrets.”
The blind old man sighed and remarked, “Even if his martial soul ends up being ordinary in the future, he can still be a powerhouse in today's world, with his talent in cultivating soul beasts.”
With that, he walked off the observation platform.
Professor Yan silently nodded. Then, he turned to the already stupefied Lin Yi beside him and said with a smile, “Miss Lin, perhaps in the future, you might feel proud about the fact that you fought in a match with him.”
“Impossible!” Lin Yi snapped back to reality. She instantly snorted and said firmly, “My older sister is still the most formidable.”

Professor Yan simply laughed without saying anything.
At that moment, Wang Che had just arrived backstage at the stadium.
Since the Enlightenment Cup was just an entry-level competition, there was no formal award ceremony. However, just like any other competition, medals would still be presented to the winners.
Other than that, there were rewards to be given out as well.
“Student Wang, these are your rewards for winning the Enlightenment Cup.
“Firstly, 100,000 dollars in cash.

“Next, according to your soul pet, I've prepared three thousand units of the highest grade food, the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf.”
The staff slowly introduced each reward to Wang Che.
As he heard the staff member ramble on, he couldn't help but think about what a great decision he had made by participating in this competition!
The Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf was even more valuable than the Moon Birch Milk Leaf that Yuan Xiaole had given him to feed the green caterpillar!
White Birch Milk Leaves cost about ten per piece.
On the other hand, Moon Birch Milk Leaves were about 30 dollars each.
As for the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaves, they cost more than 100 dollars for a single leaf!
It was an extremely rare commodity.
This was because the leaves did not just contain extraordinary soul power, but also had special life force embedded in them.
Naturally, they were extremely beneficial to soul pets.
Of course, the cost was also very expensive… Usually, it was only something that rich kids could afford.
“A Soul Guiding Skill and a set of complementary soul devices.
“Ten chances to draw a special-class egg capsule.”

Wang Che was taken by surprise when heard this and so asked impatiently, “Special-class egg capsule? What does that mean? A soul pet egg? A lucky draw?”
“There will be soul pet eggs, among other things inside. Simply put, Dino Technology has prepared ample rewards for the young Contract Soul Masters here today. These rewards may include, but are not limited to: soul pet eggs, various rare medicines, and many cutting-edge soul devices. They originate from the treasures left behind by the foreign star invasion. In other words, they are heavenly treasures that can increase a soul pet's lifespan…”
Wang Che was left dumbfounded.
There's no way that could be true, right?

Seeing the look on his face, the staff member tried to explain slowly, “Cough, cough. There are many useful items in the pool… but they will be randomly selected… Every year, Dino Technology will place many of these items in a capsule machine. The opportunity to draw from it won't be sold just anywhere. One can only obtain the right to use the capsule machine through special means.”
“Then why haven't I heard anyone mention it…” Wang Che began to ask.
“Because…” The staff suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
“Because most of the items drawn out are quite ordinary…” Lin Xi's voice suddenly sounded from behind them. “Therefore, everyone does not think much of it. ”
Wang Che remained silent after hearing this.
Got it.
This reward was just there to make up the numbers, right?
From his estimation, the chances of getting something ordinary from it was probably even higher than that of hatching a green caterpillar from the free soul pet eggs.
This was truly the world of capitalists.
“Also, since you're the champion, you'll get the chance to leave Skyheart City and explore the wilderness. You may also encounter many useful and rare items there, though it will completely depend on your luck,” said the Dino Tech's staff member with a serious expression.
Wang Che gave him a slight nod. Out of all the rewards, this was what he valued the most.
“By the way, I've checked it out already. There's practically no Soul Guiding Skills or soul devices suitable for green caterpillars on the market right now,” Wang Che suddenly said. “I don't think you have them either, right? Can you let me have a soul device instead? Since I won't be needing a Soul Guiding Skill.”
The staff member thought about his request for a moment. Then, he pulled out his phone and typed in a few messages. After a short while, he turned his attention back to Wang Che again with a smile.
“Sure. We can offer a variety of soul devices worth less than 300,000 dollars for you to choose from…”
“That's great,” Wang Che replied with a smile.. “Let me see the choices.”
