Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets Chapter 48 - : Metal Devouring Art! Great Increase in Strength!

Chapter 48: Metal Devouring Art! Great Increase in Strength!

w.a.n.g Che stayed with Yuan Xiaole for a while before returning home.

“In less than a week, I’m going to explore the Wilderness Soul Earth… There’s still no progress with the Raging Flame Strike.” w.a.n.g Che muttered.

It ate the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf every day… Could learning this skill really be impossible for it?

Back home, w.a.n.g Che thought about this matter and felt helpless.

He was not the Creator, so he could not change the life form of the green caterpillar.

When it came to life force, it was the rule of this world.

Without the fire attribute life force, even though the green caterpillar understood the Raging Flame Strike after consuming the gene capsule, it still could not use it.

“Son, you’re going on a long journey in a few days. Your mother has prepared everything for you. Don’t be afraid when the time comes.”

Father w.a.n.g sat in a chair and saw w.a.n.g Che come home. He smiled and said, “Just think of it as going out to play.”

At this moment, Mother w.a.n.g came out with the food and said, “I heard from my colleagues that you have to go out and train in the wilderness. You can’t let your guard down. How is this playing? Don’t speak nonsense!”

With that, she placed the dishes on the table.

As parents, they were naturally worried about their child going on a long journey.

In all his life, w.a.n.g Che had indeed never left Skyheart City.

“Is that so… but we didn’t go… Hmm, honey, why is it braised meat again? I’ve been eating fish and meat every day for the past few days. How can my body digest it?”

“Then don’t eat. I made this for my son. The food there definitely won’t be as good as home when he goes to the wilderness. When the time comes, the food won’t be nutritious either. I naturally have to make a few more delicious meals now.”

Mother w.a.n.g used her chopsticks to intercept Father w.a.n.g’s.

Hearing this, w.a.n.g Che was suddenly stunned.

“Is it because the digestion and rate of absorption are bad?”

w.a.n.g Che glanced at Father w.a.n.g.

He quickly finished eating and hurriedly brought the green caterpillar back to the training ground.

“Could it be that the absorption efficiency is the problem?”

w.a.n.g Che closed his eyes.

He had always considered the nomological laws of the world…

As a result, he had ignored such a small and simple factor.

The green caterpillar was a soul pet with a species potential of less than a hundred. Although it had undergone postnatal training and its physical attributes had greatly improved, it was indeed weak.

The Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf contained some slight fire attribute life force.

The absorption efficiency was low for it. It was normal for it to be unable to absorb or digest it properly.

Ordinary people could easily guess the reason.

“Sigh, I forgot that my current level is too low. There’s no reason to consider the deeper rules of the world.”

w.a.n.g Che shook his head.

Ordinary people could think of it, but they could not change it.

But he was different.

This question was too simple for him.

Generally speaking, this kind of milk pine leaf contained a special fire attribute life force. After consuming it, one could produce a certain level of resistance to fire attribute soul skills. Its body would also slowly develop a certain level of resistance to fire itself.

Otherwise, it was not worthy of its value.

However, the fire attribute was the nemesis of bugs!

To bug-type soul pets, it was practically impossible for their bodies to absorb fire attribute life force!

This precious leaf food was probably specially prepared for the relatively rare dual-attribute soul pets with fire and insect attributes.

In the past half a month, the green caterpillar had eaten so much. Other than the increase in its soul power speed, there was no change at all.

Clearly, it was not absorbed well.

w.a.n.g Che glanced at the green caterpillar and found the root of the problem.

Such a precious food was too hard to digest for this little fellow.

“I have to think of a way to let this little guy absorb the fire attribute life force in the milk pine leaves…”

w.a.n.g Che pondered for a moment and started to search through many cultivation methods in his mind.

“Absorbing the energy in the food… In this aspect, the ancient ferocious beast, Taotie, has the greatest ability… That beast can eat anything and use it for itself. It is ridiculously strong… I remember I’ve killed a few…”

w.a.n.g Che pondered and said, “However, the reason why Taotie can absorb it is because of its body structure… It’s not suitable for ordinary demon beasts… The Beast Origin Skill can be considered to have already built the basic foundation for this child… It’s time to change it.”

The Beast Origin Skill was only used to lay the foundation for demon beasts.

With the green caterpillar’s current soul power cultivation, its foundation was relatively stable.

This method was gradually becoming useless.

“Right…”

w.a.n.g Che seemed to have thought of something, “Metal Devouring Worm! An ancient exotic insect that can devour everything and has almost the same characteristics as Taotie. In the cultivation world, such insects could be considered extremely abnormal!”

w.a.n.g Che’s eyes lit up.

“I remember raising a bunch of these little things back then and even studying them. This little thing’s strength is definitely not comparable to the natural-born ferocious beast Taotie. It needs to grow for a long time when it’s young.”

“In the initial stages of childhood, it can only devour the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and all kinds of metal for its own use. After becoming stronger, it can devour all kinds of artifacts and immortal medicines… It can absorb anything.”

“When I studied the Metal Devouring Worm back then, I specially developed a method, the Metal Devouring Art, that can accelerate the growth of the Metal Devouring Worm…”

“Metal Devouring Art, why didn’t I think of it? I just need to modify it a little. It’s not a problem for this little guy to absorb the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf anymore!”

w.a.n.g Che’s thoughts were clear.

The Metal Devouring Art was not complicated. Initially, it was only targeted at the young Metal Devouring Worms to accelerate their absorption efficiency.

It was a cultivation method created by studying the body structure of the Metal Devouring Worm.

The idea was feasible. The body structure of the green caterpillar immediately appeared in w.a.n.g Che’s mind.

Then, he started to write and draw on the training ground.

In little to no time, the Metal Devouring Art was completed, improved according to the green caterpillar’s requirements.

Making modifications to the original foundation was as easy as breathing to him.

According to the Soul Guiding Skill of this world, w.a.n.g Che changed certain keywords in the spell technique.

The green caterpillar that had broken through to a hundred years had already become much more intelligent.

w.a.n.g Che treated this Metal Devouring Art as a Soul Guiding Skill and handed it to this child to learn. He did not need to draw patterns or tell stories like how he taught the Beast Origin Skill.

In just one night, this child had learned this modified Metal Devouring Art.

When the green caterpillar first cultivated the Metal Devouring Art, as expected, there was an obvious change!

First of all, the surface of its body gradually turned from cold to hot.

A faint heat fog began to appear on its body.

It looked like it was in a sauna.

“It’s the fire attribute life force in the Yang Crystal Milk Pine Leaf that it ate previously. After eating so much, despite not absorbing it, the energy remained in its body… If it couldn’t absorb it for a long time, there was a high chance that it would have slowly disappeared or expelled from the body…”

w.a.n.g Che’s eyes flickered. He was right.

“Now that it’s cultivating the Metal Devouring Art, the green caterpillar can absorb the fire attribute life force in its body and use it for itself… Cultivating the Raging Flame Strike next will not be a problem. Other than that, the Metal Devouring Art can also accelerate the absorption of soul power… Its cultivation speed will increase by a level.”

The biggest problem was resolved.

In the next few days, the green caterpillar’s body began to undergo obvious changes as it slowly absorbed the fire attribute life force.

The most obvious thing was that its resistance to flames was slowly rising.

Fire was the absolute nemesis of most bugs.

This was especially true for attribute soul skills. It would definitely be fatal to bug-type soul pets as long as they were hit.

By increasing its fire resistance, if the green caterpillar faced fire attribute soul pets in the future, it would at least not be too disadvantaged.

In the Enlightenment Cup, w.a.n.g Che was considered lucky to not have encountered a fire attribute soul pet as an opponent.

In the future, this could definitely happen.

Just like that…

In the end, one day before exploring the wilderness, the green caterpillar barely learned the Raging Flame Strike.

Its soul power cultivation had also broken through 200 years, reaching 225 years.

In the span of two months…

It adapted to the mechanical meteorite armor!

It learned a new cultivation technique!

Its body had developed a certain resistance to fire!

It learned a rare and powerful hundred-year attribute soul skill!

Its soul power cultivation and physical strength had increased drastically!

Next, the pair would go to explore the mysterious and dangerous wilderness…
