Chapter 368: Chapter 368 - I Can’t Even Defeat a Green Caterpillar?

In the square.

As He Huan slowly walked over, everyone fell silent.

“We’re all old acquaintances, so I won’t stand on ceremony.”

He Huan stepped on the pockets of her research clothes and glanced at them, “You know the reason why I invited you here. I’ll show you the results directly.”

As she spoke, He Huan waved her hand and a green caterpillar walked up.

“This is a green caterpillar that is about to reach ten years of cultivation.” He Huan squatted down and patted the green caterpillar’s head, “Everyone is very familiar with it. Then, in our research impression, what level is a green caterpillar that is close to ten years of cultivation?”

“I can send it flying with a slap.” At this moment, a young researcher below smiled.

He was a researcher from the Cloud Border Continent’s soul pet research base in the northwest. He was here on behalf of the team.

When everyone heard this, they could not help but laugh, but they did not refute.

“You’re Gu Lin from the Cloud Border Continent, right? Then come up and try?” He Huan smiled and said, “See if you can send it flying with a slap.”

“Professor He, are you serious?” The researcher was slightly stunned, “Even if I don’t use my soul power and only rely on my physical strength, it should be easy to send a green caterpillar less than ten years old flying, right? Although I’m a researcher, I’m still a Level 30 Contract Soul Master.”

Soul pet researchers didn’t have high requirements for strength. There were only high-level research directors, research directors, research associate professors, and so on.

Ordinary researchers ranged from Level 20 to Level 50.

Although many researchers didn’t have much strength, they were immersed in the world of soul pets all year round. They studied all aspects of soul pets and were very skilled.

“Of course I’m serious.” He Huan nodded, “Come up and try. Just showing you the research data and reports is useless. The actual experience is the most obvious.”

“I’m in charge of researching butterfly-type flying soul pets. I know a lot about green caterpillars.” The young researcher, Gu Lin, rubbed his hands and walked up, “Since you’re serious, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

He was weak and could easily fight soul beasts that were hundreds of years old.

Without using soul power, he could easily subdue soul beasts within a hundred years with his body.

As he spoke, Gu Lin walked up and looked at the green caterpillar in front of him. With his knowledge, he could tell that this green caterpillar was in a very good mental state. Under its green and yellow skin, there were slightly bulging muscles. It looked like it had been nurtured very well.

But that was all?

The green caterpillar’s species potential was obvious. The growth limit was only so high. With ten years of cultivation, there was a limit to how hard it could be nurtured.

“I’m going to attack!” Gu Lin said.

He Huan stood up, took a few steps back, and smiled.

The next moment, Gu Lin ran two steps and gently slapped the green caterpillar.

The palm wind was sharp. Just as it was about to touch the green caterpillar, it shrunk its head slightly and actually dodged it easily.

Then, it suddenly extended its head and knocked into Gu Lin’s hand.

Bang!

A powerful force made Gu Lin’s palm tingle and his entire body took a few steps back.

He looked at the green caterpillar in surprise and took a few steps back, no longer moving.

Then, he rushed over again.

He used both hands and feet in a very orderly manner.

However, only a small number of his attacks could land on the green caterpillar. Most of them were dodged by the green caterpillar.

Every time the green caterpillar counterattacked, even if it was only the head collision and the tail swing, the power was actually very strong!

After a moment, Gu Lin stopped. Many red marks appeared on his palm.

“Without using soul power, I can’t even defeat a green caterpillar?” Gu Lin was stunned.

Everyone could tell that this green caterpillar was extraordinary.

“Also, it only has a cultivation of more than nine years, but it feels like you’ve just nurtured it, right?”

Gu Lin was a little shocked. It was obvious that this green caterpillar had trained before.

“It was indeed nurtured not long ago,” He Huan said.

Gu Lin heaved a sigh of relief and barely felt better.

However, the next moment, He Huan continued, “It hatched about half a month ago and used more than a week to undergo enlightenment.”

“It officially started cultivating two days ago. During this time, it was only feeding normally.”

“…” Gu Lin.

He was stunned.

The others were also stunned and looked at He Huan in surprise.

In other words, the official cultivation time was less than three days?

It had this cultivation and strength?

“Professor He, when did you start researching the green caterpillar?” Gu Lin took a deep breath, “Did you cultivate some powerful Soul Guiding Skill? You’re bullying us!”

He roughly understood something.

The people below also understood something.

He Huan smiled and pointed at the little soul beasts behind her.

“Green caterpillar? I still have twelve young soul pets behind me. They’re all bug soul beasts that have just been born and have completed the enlightenment of intelligence. The one who cultivated for the longest is seven days. Although they’re all bug type soul pets, they fly in the sky, run on land, swim in the water, walk in the forest, and climb on the mountain.”

“Do you want to choose another one to try?”

Gu Lin looked at the dozen young soul pets behind He Huan.

Green Worm, Sharp Touch Worm, White Silkworm, Flying Moth, Rock Horn Worm…

They were indeed all common and ordinary bug type soul pets.

Of course, he could tell that it had just been born and could tell from its size and appearance.

However…

“I can feel it,” Gu Lin said. “This green caterpillar is slightly stronger than a green caterpillar that has grown for thirty to forty years. Could it be the same for these few?”

“They’re all much stronger than normal soul pets. Even if you undergo basic training, you won’t be able to reach it. As for the Soul Guiding Skill, at this stage, it’s unlikely for them to learn it. They only have a few decades of soul power cultivation and their intelligence has just been enlightened.”

“Even if there are some special ones who can learn the Soul Guiding Skill… the increase in basic Soul Guiding Skills is not that great.”

“That’s true.” He Huan nodded slightly, “This is the first thing I want to say.”

“What do you mean?” Gu Lin was confused, but he seemed to have thought of something.

The people below also pondered.

“You mean they really cultivated the Soul Guiding Skill?” Gu Lin asked.

“That’s right.”

“There’s so many bug soul pets. How much effort did you spend…” Gu Lin glanced at them.

These twelve soul pets could be said to represent most soul pet types.

Other than the rare ones like space, mental, devil, and ghost.

“How much effort…” He Huan pondered and said,” It did take a lot of effort, but that’s not important. The important thing is that they cultivate a common Soul Guiding Skill. ”

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Gu Lin looked at He Huan in surprise.

“That’s impossible, right? What Soul Guiding Skill can allow so many different types of insects to cultivate?”

“It’s very difficult to develop a Soul Guiding Skill for such young soul beasts. There are two or three that don’t exist on the market. Only their evolution type has them… I’ve never heard of a Soul Guiding Skill that can allow so many soul pets to cultivate.”

“It doesn’t look fake. The West Peak soul pet base is amazing!”

“There are thousands of types of insects, and their bodies are incomparably complicated. A thousand years ago, there were wise people who wanted to create a Soul Guiding Skill that most insects could cultivate. In the end, until now, we’ve unified and studied many bug-type Soul Guiding Skills. The Soul Guiding Skills we created can at most allow two to three types of bug soul pets to cultivate… and they have to be of similar species…”

“If this is true, it will probably shock the entire war zone.”

“What I’m concerned about is what Soul Guiding Skill it cultivated to let a green caterpillar grow like this.”

“A normal Soul Guiding Skill only helps a soul pet cultivate soul power. When cultivating, it only increases the soul pet’s growth by 1.5 times. That’s already not bad.”

“Some complicated Soul Guiding Skills can have a bonus effect of no more than 3 times, but from the green caterpillar’s performance… this has already exceeded 3 times the growth bonus.”

“Moreover, those complicated Soul Guiding Skills are all specific soul pets that can only be cultivated after reaching a certain cultivation level…”

“…”

“Elder Hong, what do you think?”

The crowd looked at the old man in the middle.

The white-haired old man in the lead smiled and said, “She’s already shown it. What else can we do? It cultivated for less than three days and already has nine years of soul power cultivation. To a green caterpillar, increasing its soul power by more than three years a day is already too efficient. Little Huan, let us see what powerful Soul Guiding Skill this is.”

“That’s what I mean.” He Huan nodded, “We’ll demonstrate now, if you have a young soul pet, you can provide one. I won’t use the soul pets in our research base. Let’s look at bugs first.”

He Huan’s words made everyone feel strange.

What did she mean by bugs first?

“Yes, yes! I have a young Dumb Bug with more than ten years of cultivation!” A middle-aged researcher raised his hand.

“Wow, Xu Zhen, you’re a little shameless. You even took out the Dumb Bug. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?” The others immediately sneered.

“That’s right, that’s right. Everyone knows that before the Dumb Bug’s 500-year soul power cultivation base, its intelligence is extremely vague and its learning ability is equivalent to nothing. Even if it signs a life contract and its intelligence is enlightened, it has to at least evolve to learn the Soul Guiding Skill.”

“Professor He already said that insects are fine.” The middle-aged researcher called Xu Zhen smiled and said, “My Dumb Bug is a proper bug soul pet. It can evolve into a Wisdom Worm King in the future!”

He Huan smiled.

The Dumb Bug was actually a very powerful soul pet, but it had to evolve to the third stage.

It was also a very typical weak early and strong late stage soul pet.

However, the nurturing process was not complicated. It only needed to stay by its side for a long time and feed it well, allowing it to slowly grow.

After it evolved, it would become a rather famous Wisdom Worm King, a dual attribute mental and bug-type soul pet.

With the potential of a King-ranked species, the upper limit of growth was very high.
