Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When night finally came, the moon hung high in the sky while the stars beside it shone brightly.

The bright moonlight managed to sneak through the transparent windows and landed on a figure in the room, forming the shadow of a muscular and well built body.

That was Wang Che, who was using two fingers to support himself off the floor. Meanwhile, his body, turned upside down, began to move up and down.

Since he was only wearing a pair of shorts, the sweat that ran down across his well defined muscles dripped onto the ground repeatedly.

Beside him was the green caterpillar which also shrunk back and forth.

However, compared to Wang Che, it looked more like it was just fooling around.

After a moment, Wang Che placed his palm on the floor, and with a slight push, he flipped himself back to a normal standing position.

“As my soul contract with this little one strengthens, I can feel the wondrous life force beginning to spread throughout my limbs and bones… as if cleansing the body… My physique seems to be improving as well.”

He muttered to himself, “Although I’m still an ordinary person, my body has clearly become much stronger.”

These days, Wang Che had his own training.

Since he still couldn’t absorb any soul power, his training only involved simple exercises to maintain his body’s physical condition.

Yet, as the bond between him and the green caterpillar strengthened, life force automatically spread to his limbs, strengthening every aspect of his body.

This process was quite similar to the initial stages of cultivation, which intrigued Wang Che a lot.

After all, he knew that Contract Soul Masters didn’t just have to rely on the power of their soul pets. After their martial souls awakened, they could display even more power.

They were not inherently weak.

Nevertheless, a strong body was vital in achieving this.

“In that case, I should be able to take the path of martial cultivation now.”

Wang Che had a strange feeling in his gut.

As he was cultivating the green caterpillar, he did not forget to strengthen his own body.

Although he decided to put a hold on immortal cultivation for now, Wang Che still knew very well that his own strength was the key to his future plans.

As such, Wang Che would never neglect his physical training.

He instinctively glanced at the green caterpillar as the thought crossed his mind.

If he were to fight the little one now, there was still a high chance… that he would lose.

He might not even be able to survive a tail swing from it, much less attacks from soul pets in his class that had slightly higher cultivation levels.

It could not be helped. Soul beasts were naturally powerful after all.

In contrast, humans that did not awaken their martial souls and cultivate were extremely weak.

“The life contract can increase my body’s strength… It can also improve my innate aptitude, even if I can’t absorb soul power for now. However, as my body becomes more powerful, I can begin to learn some martial techniques. At the very least, I’ll be able to defend myself.”

Wang Che pondered for a moment. “Before my martial soul awakens, my goal for this semester will be to cultivate both the green caterpillar and myself.”

Of course, at the moment, it wouldn’t be smart to target overly powerful martial techniques.

The basics were more than enough.

After that, Wang Che went to take a shower, where he also washed up the green caterpillar.

As his hands got to work, Wang Che started to think about how he could allow the green caterpillar to cultivate the Soul Armor Haki.

The name of the move came from a cartoon that he was familiar with. Because of his time on Earth, Wang Che was quite knowledgeable when it came to such matters.

In fact, he had only used this name because it fit in well with the stories he told the green caterpillar.

Unbeknownst to it, the so-called Soul Armor Haki was a technique that manipulated energy.

In its purest form, it was a way to manifest energy.

Typically, when one managed to cultivate toward a certain realm, they would come into contact with it.

For instance, an immortal cultivator would be able to use this technique to manifest their true essence in the outside world.

Then by doing so, they would in turn be able to cultivate many powerful spells and skills.

In fact, most late-stage Qi Refinement realm cultivators eventually end up learning the Soul Armor Haki, one way or another.

It was not a difficult technique by any means after all.

‘This world also allows the manifestation of soul power. After soul pets reach a hundred years of cultivation, they’ll come into contact with the Soul Armor Haki.

‘There are many powerful soul skills with particular attributes that will require soul pets to have control over the release of soul power in their bodies. Otherwise, they won’t be able to learn it effectively.”

‘However, besides energy manifestation, the Soul Armor Haki is also a technique that can be used to control energy. Through high intensity energy usage, this technique can integrate itself to the body to increase its defense. It’s similar to how a cultivator would use astral energy protection.’

Though it was an ordinary technique, the Soul Armor Haki was very practical.

It suited the green caterpillar, who couldn’t just learn advanced skills.

‘In this world, soul pets with a hundred year soul power cultivation and above are able to control the soul power within their bodies and manifest it… The green caterpillar is only around fifty-three years now. Even after seven days, it will only have a soul power cultivation of seventy years at most. It’ll still be quite the challenge to learn it then…’

By any standards, soul pets with a hundred year soul power cultivation and above were considered to have incredible destructive power.

‘If I want the little one to cultivate the Soul Armor Haki, it must first control the soul power within its own body and learn to circulate it better… We’ll need a special method to learn this technique ahead of time.’

Wang Che stared at the green caterpillar.

Sensing his gaze, the green caterpillar also looked back at him.

“In the next few days, you’ll have to learn how to use Soul Armor Haki,” Wang Che told him in a serious tone.

The green caterpillar nodded.

It kept Wang Che’s words in mind.

Then, it looked at him expectantly as Wang Che took out a drawing paper. On it, he drew a green caterpillar, before adding a nebula on the body of the green caterpillar.

“This is the soul power in your body, which you’ll need to control.”

Wang Che continued drawing. This time, it showed a soul flowing out of the green caterpillar’s body, enveloping it.

In his sketch, the caterpillar seemed to be covered in a layer of flames, which looked extremely cool.

Wang Che also coloured in a flame-like glow that surrounded the green caterpillar’s body, making it seem like it was wearing armour.

Clap clap clap!

The green caterpillar thumped its tail against the floor, clearly getting excited.

‘I think it looks cool, too.’

The exhilarated look in its eyes seemed to say, ‘I want to learn this!’

“Let’s try it then.”

Wang Che simply explained the process.

He was not expecting the little one to learn it on the first try.

Meanwhile, the green caterpillar nodded and prepared itself.

It held its breath while its body bent, contracted, straightened and bounced…

However, the caterpillar still could not manifest its soul power.

Even though it could make the soul power circulate within its body, it wasn’t able to release it directly.

Wang Che didn’t know how to react when he saw this.

He knew that learning such a technique wouldn’t be a walk in the park.

After giving it some thought, Wang Che called out, “Wait!”

The green caterpillar immediately stopped and looked at him in confusion.

“You can’t do that.”

Wang Che coughed and looked outside.

He lived on the sixth floor, surrounded by many cloud tung trees.

Up above, starlight shimmered across the night sky. As if reflecting it, the branches and leaves of the cloud tung trees below also emitted white light, like fireflies.

The scene was absolutely breathtaking.

Pointing to a piece of cloud tung wood not far away, Wang Che instructed, “Spit silk at the cloud tung wood outside.”

Though it didn’t understand what he meant by that, the green caterpillar obediently followed Wang Che to the window.

“As you’re spitting silk, feel the soul power flow. Then, try to understand how it’s being used in conjunction with your Spit Thread soul skill.”

The green caterpillar nodded at him.

After a moment, it opened its mouth slightly and spat out a silver silk thread.

Soul power began to fluctuate in its body.

Wang Che narrowed his eyes as he looked on at the little one.

Soul skills utilized soul power. They were powerful techniques created through the various physical features of different soul pets.

The same was true for the Spit Thread soul skill.

As such, the threads that were being spat out currently contained a certain amount of soul power fluctuation. At the same time, they also had the green caterpillar’s own attribute powers.

“After spitting it out, don’t let go of the thread!” Wang Che quickly told the green caterpillar.
