“Use your tail to bounce up and dodge.”

w.a.n.g Che said lightly.

The green caterpillar immediately shrank into a spring, and just as the Kuka Beast was about to collide with it, it suddenly leaped.

Its body was extremely flexible.

This was a stance that it cultivated.

It had practiced often and was very familiar with this, and therefore its reaction was also very quick.

“Huh? It can even move like this… What a fast reaction…” Yuan Xiaole was taken aback.

He thought the green caterpillar would dodge to the left or right, but with the Kuka Beast’s reaction speed, it would not be able to get away.

Even if it was only lightly grazed, it would be sent flying by the impact.

However, it bounced up directly…

“It can jump this high?”

Yuan Xiaole glanced at the green caterpillar that had just vaulted itself and was more than ten meters high up.

He had a faint feeling that something was amiss.

Even his Kuka Beast was not able to jump this high!

‘It should be because its body is relatively light…’ he thought to himself.

w.a.n.g Che continued with his orders, “Use your tail and strike at the beast!”

The bug dived toward the ground, and flung its tail at the Kuka Beast as it neared the floor.

Because w.a.n.g Che had mentioned not to use soul skills, it purely used its body to swing its tail instead.

Soul skills were different from ordinary attacks.

Soul pets could use many moves according to their attack style.

A few examples would be impact, jumping, punching, kicking, swinging, and flying.

Different types of soul pets had varying body structures and also innate abilities.

For instance, some flying type soul pets had feathers that could be equipped as weapons.

Plant type soul pets had their own poison that could cause casualties upon contact.

Fire type soul pets contained high temperatures that could directly harm enemies.

A casual punch from them was not only powerful, but it could also burn their opponents.

However, these were not soul skills.

Power was only determined by the physical strength of the soul pet.

As for soul skills, they were impressive abilities that required soul power to function!

It far exceeded mediocre strikes.

“How powerful can a green caterpillar be? Even if it uses its soul power, it can only be so strong…” Yuan Xiaole mocked disdainfully as he watched the scene unfold. “Kuka Beast, send it flying with a single punch!”

“Kuka!”

The Kuka Beast braked and reacted quickly. It straightened its body and whammed its fist on the insect’s tail.

Bang!

The two collided and instantly caused a huge tremor.

In the next moment, the beast’s arm turned soft, and its body flew backward as if it had been struck by a boulder!

It smashed into the ground, forming a small crater underneath as rocks scattered all around.

“d.a.m.n!”

Upon seeing this, Yuan Xiaole was appalled.

Not only was he dumbfounded, but the other sparring partners were the same.

“How can a 50-year-old green caterpillar have such powerful tail movements?” gasped the middle-aged man on the third floor as he looked on with a strange expression. “There’s no soul power fluctuation, and it’s not a soul skill either.

“A soul pet like the green caterpillar has very low species potential. Its physical strength is also very weak in all aspects.

“Not even a 100-year-old green caterpillar is supposed to be stronger than a 27-year-old Kuka Beast…

“Even if it used the advantage of the impact from falling from the sky, it shouldn’t have been able to send the Kuka Beast flying with one swing of the tail…”

He was confused.

The old man pondered but did not speak as his eyes flickered.

The two of them stayed silent and continued watching.

“Kuka!”

The beast shook its arm in pain.

Looking at the green caterpillar, questions filled its mind.

As Yuan Xiaole observed this situation, the strange feeling in his heart gradually increased.

However, he did not think too much about it.

“Kuka Beast! Stand up!” Yuan Xiaole suddenly screamed. “Speed up! Attack again!”

A green caterpillar of 50 years of cultivation had this much power after all. He could not underestimate it.

Hearing the order to accelerate, the Kuka Beast seemed to understand something.

It picked itself up and directly channelled the soul power in its body to charge at the green caterpillar again.

This time, its speed was upgraded to another level!

Within two blinks of the eye, it had already gotten close to the green caterpillar.

“Even if the same attack is faster, it’s useless…”

w.a.n.g Che’s eyes flashed.

After circulating its soul power, the Kuka Beast became much more vigorous in all aspects.

However, it could not completely crush the green caterpillar.

Especially this time, since it was prepared for the attack.

“Continue jumping.”

w.a.n.g Che ordered.

The green caterpillar sprung again.

“Now!”

Yuan Xiaole suddenly barked, “Attack it!”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. How could it attack?

The Kuka Beast could not leap that high.

Even if it did jump upwards, it would not be able to defend itself in the air. If the green caterpillar whipped its tail again, it would be launched into the ground.

Wouldn’t that be worse?

The Kuka Beast suddenly stopped, but did not leap.

Instead, it suddenly extended its forearm and flung an object at the green caterpillar.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

There was the soft whoosh of air being torn apart.

It was a rock.

“This boy!” The eyes of the middle-aged man on the third floor lit up.

“Not bad, he knows how to use the battlefield,” the old man smiled. “He also has tacit cooperation with his soul pet. This child has talent! The green caterpillar can’t dodge in the air. Although the rock isn’t big, there will be considerable damage. If one cannot avoid the attack, not only would its rhythm be disrupted, but it would also end up with ample casualties.

“When the caterpillar falls, it will not be able to retaliate again. The Kuka Beast will gain the upper hand.”

However, as if he had already expected this, w.a.n.g Che commanded, “Curl up.”

The green caterpillar immediately curled itself into a ball.

Only its dark green outer skin was exposed.

Yuan Xiaole was speechless. It was completely shielded from all directions.

The rock was hurled out like a bullet by the Kuka Beast, and it struck the insect’s outer skin, bouncing off.

The sound was dull, as if hitting a wall.

“It’s so solid…”

Yuan Xiaole was dismayed, “Even the surface isn’t swollen? This f*cking defense is too st.u.r.dy… Is this really a green caterpillar?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of a way.

“Kuka Beast, dodge!”

This time, he reacted quickly.

His soul pet heard this and swiftly dodged.

As for the green caterpillar, it quickly moved to launch an attack on the monster.

Boom!

A small pit was formed on the ground as stone fragments flew everywhere!

“The weight of the strike of this tail is at least 600 kilograms! This is stronger than the best attack of the Kuka Beast…”

Yuan Xiaole’s hair stood on end.

His Kuka Beast could not create a hole in the ground with its full strength, unless it used its soul power. A single punch might only then have this effect.

“No, no. The Kuka Beast hasn’t learned its soul skill yet. It can only rely on its speed to win. There’s no way this green caterpillar can be faster than the Kuka Beast.”

Yuan Xiaole was right.

Even the current green caterpillar could not catch up to the Kuka Beast.

w.a.n.g Che had to admit this.

Even if the insect used its soul power, it could not catch up to the monster.

It was much slower to begin with anyway.

Following that, Yuan Xiaole crazily ordered the Kuka Beast to attack.

He did not believe that the green caterpillar would be able to avoid every single time.

As he had already expected, it was very agile.

However, the Kuka Beast, with its soul power, was indeed faster.

The green caterpillar did not use its soul power or even its silk thread. It was struck twice, but it narrowly evaded both attacks and was sent flying instead.

It only sustained a small injury which did not affect its performance at all.

As long as it dodged, it would definitely continue to vault and lash its tail to strike.

Using the advantage of being in mid-air, it would still be able to create a small pit in the ground, even if it could not hit the Kuka Beast.

Until five minutes later.

Once again, the beast barely missed the tail of the green caterpillar.

It panted heavily.

Yuan Xiaole was about to give another order.

From afar, w.a.n.g Che suddenly noted, “You’ve already lost.”

Yuan Xiaole looked at him, confused.

“It’s still too early to come to that conclusion. My Kuka Beast’s physique is very tough, so it’s only at half of its limit. It’s only been hit by three of your attacks.”

“What I mean is that your greatest advantage is already gone.”

w.a.n.g Che commented as he pointed to the ground below.

When Yuan Xiaole saw this, his expression immediately changed.

In the field, with the green caterpillar at the center, there were countless small craters that had been created within 30 meters in all directions.

“Didn’t you notice that your Kuka Beast is much slower now?”

w.a.n.g Che revealed.

Yuan Xiaole immediately realized something.

On such terrain, no matter how quick the beast was, it would be greatly affected.

It was a crawling creature with four limbs. On such b.u.mpy ground, its speed would be significantly impacted.

The green caterpillar’s movements were not restricted by its limbs, so it was unaffected.

The Kuka Beast’s greatest advantage was gone.

Meanwhile, this green caterpillar still maintained its strong defense and strength…

If the beast rushed over again, it would probably be flung down by the other party.

Moreover, the green caterpillar seemed to have expended less energy.

There was a long silence.

He glanced at the exhausted Kuka Beast…

In the end, Yuan Xiaole could only helplessly sputter.

“I admit defeat.”

The entire venue fell silent!
