Chapter 117: Tempering in a Life-and-Death Battle!

Lightning flashed as brilliant heavenly lightning suddenly struck down from the sky.

The lightning rod in the air was not long.

But at this moment, in the clouds, it was abnormally prominent!

Boom!

Rolling lightning struck down!

Almost at the same time, Wang Che threw the green caterpillar under his feet into the air.

The green caterpillar: “…”

At this height, it was not injured at all by falling.

However, it was too sudden.

It could not be helped. Such lightning was still a little dangerous for the green caterpillar.

Wang Che wanted to preserve the green caterpillar’s combat strength.

Then, Wang Che tiptoed.

His entire body rose rapidly from the Magnetic Sword!

“Come!”

Wang Che made a mysterious hand seal and raised his hand. The Magnetic Sword excitedly flew along and landed on his palm.

Its body was also flashing with red lightning.

At that moment, the terrifying purple lightning struck the lightning rod.

Seeing this scene, the distant Ghost Disciple was stunned.

Then he laughed.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect the heavens to be on our side… After chasing for so long, it actually sent down heavenly lightning to kill you?”

“Wang Batian, oh Wang Batian. If I had known that your luck was so bad, you would have choked yourself to death sooner or later. Why would we waste our time?”

Under such a storm of heavenly lightning, with a torrential rain, not to mention a student who had just awakened his martial soul, even ordinary low-level Contract Soul Masters below Level 20 would be half-dead.

He was very happy.

It was not because Wang Che would be struck to death by the lightning, but because the heavens were on their side.

“This kid is too unlucky, right?” A figure appeared in the void.

It was about to attack.

However, at the next moment!

Thunder rumbled as the flash of lightning illuminated the dark world.

Wang Che held the Magnetic Sword as a wisp of Hundred Refinements soul power circulated rapidly in his body.

Although it was only a wisp, it had been tempered a hundred times. Furthermore, it had already endured two lightning strikes.

Wang Che’s body had already become extremely powerful.

“Heavenly Lightning Slash!”

Wang Che chanted in his heart. The wisp of Hundred Refinements soul power entered the Magnetic Sword’s body through the blade.

In an instant!

The Magnetic Sword glowed again. The red energy on the blade seemed to have been stimulated.

The red lightning instantly dyed the purple lightning red.

What was even more shocking was…

The lightning that was as thick as a bucket actually formed the shape of an energy sword.

From afar, it was like a sword beam that flickered with red lightning.

Violent energy fluctuations erupted from all directions!

“Slash!”

Cracks appeared on Wang Che’s body as if it was about to break.

However, he did not show any change at all.

He gently waved the not-so-long Magnetic Sword in his hand and slashed forward.

It looked casual, but there was a special charm to it that caused the aura of the sword to increase by 30%!

The Magnetic Sword was extremely excited.

It felt as if it had become the sword that connected heaven and earth in Wang Che’s story.

It emitted a peerless aura.

The sword slashed down.

There was a flash!

The next moment, the distant ants seemed to have stopped time.

All of them stopped moving.

In a moment, countless red lightning bolts quickly spread to the entire army of ants.

Amidst the storm, crackling sounds could be heard.

“F*ck! What the hell!”

The Ghost Disciple only felt that something was amiss when Wang Che swung the sword.

Only when the terrifying lightning gradually turned into a lightning energy longsword did he suddenly react.

The soul wings on his back flickered crazily as he quickly retreated from the thousand-legged ant group.

But he was still a step too late.

Under the storm, the red lightning covered the entire ant army at light speed.

He was stunned, but he was not the only one.

The figure that appeared in the void was stunned as well.

“What kind of monster is this kid…”

The figure muttered, “It’s impossible for an ordinary student to withstand the power of the heavenly lightning with their body. Even if they awakened their martial soul, it’s also impossible. Could it be that this kid cultivated before? No, no, no… even if he did, it’s only been a few days. It’s impossible for his body to have such power… and that red Magnetic Sword…”

“Could this be a soul skill? That’s impossible… He doesn’t have a soul ring on his body… he hasn’t even used his martial soul yet… This is definitely not a coincidence… He used the Magnetic Sword to draw in the heavenly lightning to attack. That sword-shaped energy sword formed by the heavenly lightning is definitely not something that can be swung casually…”

“Such power… could it be a unique sword skill? However, sword skills are mostly used with one’s martial soul… if this is used by a soul pet, could it be a soul pet’s soul skill? The Magnetic Sword has a similar sword skill.”

“But the power can’t reach this level… especially the aura. Clearly, he was the one who cast it. The Magnetic Sword is only a tool… it doesn’t seem like a soul pet’s soul skill… especially, when it’s used, there’s no sluggishness at all… and it doesn’t look like it just learned it…”

“Unbelievable!”

“The power of this sword skill is combined with heavenly lightning. It has a terrifying aura and endless power…”

“Using lightning to strike and rain to transmit… although those Thousand-legged Ants are not dead, they definitely do not have any combat strength left… They are still at a low altitude…”

As expected.

Then, with a slash, the ant group quickly fell into a stiff state.

Most of the newly evolved Thousand-legged Flying Ants did not have strong flying abilities.

Especially since their physiques were not strong, although their cultivation level had abnormally increased because of the illness.

But with this move, almost all of them were electrocuted.

It was impossible to recover without half an hour.

The body of a soul beast was very powerful. Under such powerful heavenly lightning, especially when Wang Che used it with a special sword skill, ordinary wild beasts would be greatly hurt.

However, soul beasts would not die so easily.

Those ants were only paralyzed by the group. In reality, they were not seriously injured.

Wang Che’s current body could withstand the lightning.

These soul beasts with hundreds of years of soul power cultivation base were naturally able to withstand it.

Of course, most of them were actually absorbed by the Magnetic Sword.

After all, it was using a sword skill.

Heavenly Lightning Slash was indeed a very ordinary sword skill.

It was the basic sword skill of the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture. Even without triggering the heavenly lightning, it could still be used.

However, the power would naturally be far inferior to now.

This sword move focused on speed and aura.

With lightning speed and the lightning sword momentum, it could cut through everything.

Wang Che felt that the power was actually very ordinary.

However, it would depend on who used it.

He chose this move to not give his opponent a chance to react.

At the same time, he quickly dealt with the Thousand-legged Flying Ants.

In addition, it was to teach the Magnetic Sword this soul skill.

Moreover, this move was also the basic sword move in the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture.

After learning this move, it could learn other powerful sword skills in the future.

If the Heavenly Lightning Slash was actually used normally, with Wang Che’s current cultivation and his own strength, one move could probably only finish off a few Thousand-legged Flying Ants.

Unfortunately, the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture emphasized on wide ranged effects.

With the lightning and the storm, the single-target sword move became a group-target sword move.

Its power increased exponentially!

The use of basic sword moves by Immortal Ascension cultivators was naturally at the peak.

Moreover, after using it once, it could cultivate the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture.

It was perfect.

Everything was within his calculations.

What was not pleasant was that Wang Che looked at the weather forecast and said that the thunderstorm had arrived more than ten minutes late.

“Have you learned it?” Wang Che asked.

“Sss, sss! (Yes, I learned it already!)”

It seemed like it was also a little genius.

Wang Che was very satisfied.

If it could not even learn such a basic sword move, it would not be easy in the future.

“Next is that Ghost Disciple.” Wang Che immediately said, “Let’s go down and fetch the green caterpillar.”

At this moment, the green caterpillar that had already landed on the ground looked up at the shocking scene.

Its mind was greatly shaken.

It was simply shocking!

This was the most shocking battle it had ever seen.

When Wang Che landed on the ground, the green caterpillar’s body glowed green.

“Eh, what’s wrong with you?”

Wang Che looked at the green caterpillar.

The green patterns on its body had already become much thinner, indicating that the grass life force given by the Rainbow Deer had been absorbed by the green caterpillar very quickly.

Although it was thin, it did not completely disappear.

Now that it had lit up, it meant that the life force in its body had produced a violent fluctuation.

“Ssss!”

“Hmm… you said you want to learn it too…”

Wang Che: “…”

The Magnetic Sword flew to the green caterpillar’s head and hissed mercilessly, mocking it.

The green caterpillar spat out a thread and sent the Magnetic Sword crashing to the ground.

The Spit Thread soul skill was very powerful.

The Magnetic Sword had just used the Heavenly Lightning Slash and had already exhausted its soul power.

The mechanical energy was also greatly weakened and could not cut through the thread.

“Sss (I was wrong )…” The Magnetic Sword said.

The green caterpillar retracted its thread.

The Magnetic Sword flew up even higher.

Wang Che could only pat the green caterpillar’s head and say, “Alright, I’ll teach you a move in the future: Sword Kinesis Flying Worm.”

The green caterpillar’s eyes lit up.

It seemed very powerful!

“But for now, I have to deal with that guy.”

Wang Che looked at the Ghost Disciple in front of him and said slowly as he flew over.

At this moment, the black robe on the Ghost Disciple was tattered, and his hair was standing on end. He was actually a man who looked very similar to Xue Batian.

“Impressive.”

The soul wings on Ghost Disciple’s back were faintly visible. Clearly, he had suffered considerable damage just now.

But that was nothing.

His eyes were filled with shock, but he looked at Wang Che unkindly.

No wonder the higher-ups would make such arrangements for a student.

Although it was a small plan, it was impossible for a student.

This was too f*cking abnormal!

Previously, as an ordinary student, he had foiled their plan at the crucial moment.

He did not expect that he could actually use a Magnetic Sword with a soul power cultivation of two to three hundred years this time to defeat tens of thousands of ants.

That was too ridiculous!

Of course, he knew.

It was not Wang Che who was strong, but the situation.

But it just so happened that this was the right time and place. It was obviously planned by him.

What did this mean?

This meant that Wang Batian had planned this from the start.

Just that terrifying sword move earlier was smooth and fluid. It did not seem like it was the first time it was used.

If it was a coincidence, it was impossible to not show any signs of haste.

Otherwise, this would not have happened.

But…

“What a pity, what a pity. You’re only a student after all.”

The Ghost Disciple got closer and closer, his voice becoming colder and colder, “You used such a powerful move to defeat the ant army with the help of the thunderstorm. But you can’t defeat me!”

“I think we can try.” Wang Che picked up the green caterpillar.

It was not easy to run now.

The Magnetic Sword could no longer fly long distances.

It was too small and its soul power cultivation was not enough.

After executing the sword move and cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture, it was currently in a weak state.

It needed to recover its vitality.

“With just a green caterpillar?” The Ghost Disciple laughed.

‘I’m a Level 30 Contract Soul Master, don’t you know your place?!’

‘A green caterpillar with a cultivation base of several hundred years wants to defeat me?’

Yes, this green caterpillar was very strong.

However…

“Do you think I don’t have soul pets?” The Ghost Disciple laughed coldly.

The black conch in the Ghost Disciple’s hand shook.

Three soul rings suddenly lit up on his body.

Purple, purple, yellow.

In the soul rings, three soul pets flew out.

Rain Demon Butterfly, Flying Speed Bird, and Trickster.

The Rain Demon Butterfly was an eccentric bug type soul pet that had poison on its body.

Flying Speed Birds seemed to be the standard pet for Ghost Disciples.

Trickster, a fighting type soul pet.

From the aspect of species potential, these three soul pets were all extremely precious.

The Rain Demon Butterfly was a second stage evolution. It was a rare bug type soul pet.

The Flying Speed Bird was a normal soul pet, and it had evolved to the third stage.

Wang Che had seen it on Xue Batian before.

The Trickster’s soul ring was yellow, indicating that its soul power cultivation base was not high.

It was at the hundred-year stage.

Its young body was evolved from a rare Laughing Monster, so it should be in the second stage of evolution.

Wang Che swept his divine sense and could roughly sense their soul power cultivation.

The strongest was the Rain Demon Butterfly. It was in this fellow’s first soul ring. This meant that it had been nurtured the longest.

It was slightly over two thousand years old, followed by the Flying Speed Bird which was slightly over a thousand years old, and the worst was the Trickster that had a soul power cultivation of only a few hundred years.

Compared to the Xue Batian he had seen in the air, this guy’s strength was clearly several levels lower.

Xue Batian’s Flying Speed Bird had a ten thousand year soul power cultivation.

That guy was a leader.

This Ghost Disciple should be a lackey.

Wang Che could actually tell from the soul pet’s configuration that this lackey was strong.

The Flying Speed Bird was for the soul wings. It allowed him to have powerful mobility and would not be easily killed on the battlefield.

The Rain Demon Butterfly was used to exhaust the opponent’s strength.

The Trickster was meant to increase one’s offensive abilities. Fighting type soul pets all had powerful offensive abilities.

However, because it was a third soul pet, he had probably just obtained it and had yet to be trained. Its soul power cultivation was rather low.

His martial soul was a black conch.

With this type of equipment martial soul, this Ghost Disciple was classified as a support-type Skill Soul Master according to the Contract Soul Master classification introduced by Teacher Zheng.

He had low combat strength and was used to assist in tactical control.

It was impossible for him to fight with a palm-sized conch.

Otherwise, the sound of the conch would not have been able to control the Thousand-legged Ants.

This Ghost Disciple’s soul pet variety was rather reasonable.

He could fight, run, and control the situation.

Even if it was a small fry, his strength was not low.

Wang Che felt that compared to Xue Batian, he was just a small fry.

Of course, he did not know the actual situation.

He was not a Ghost Disciple after all.
