Chapter 14: Spit Thread Soul Skill, School Begins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"But you only have 25 years of soul power cultivation now..." Wang Che muttered while patting the green caterpillar's head.

He had to find a way to increase the thread's durability.

Over the next week, Wang Che began to train the caterpillar in this soul skill.

However, there was not much improvement.

Though the results of soul power cultivation were apparent, any further progress was halted by the low species potential of the green caterpillar.

If it had been a rare spider type soul pet instead, the Spit Thread Soul Skill would definitely be much more powerful.

In addition to being structurally stronger, the threads would likely be poisonous and deadly to enemies as well.

As such, with varying physical attributes across life forms, it was definitely possible for the same soul skill to look very different when used by another soul pet.

Take a soul skill like the Rumbling Tail Strike for example. If it was being used by a soul pet with the same soul power cultivation but greater strength, the attack would be much more powerful than when a physically weak soul pet used it.

In this case, the threads may be of the same nature, but it was evident that they were worlds apart.

"Thinking about it, the Spit Thread Soul Skill seems more like a spell, while the Rumbling Tail Strike is similar to a martial arts technique.

"After all, the Beast Origin Skill focuses on strengthening the body. The various stances it utilizes also serve as basic martial arts skills for demon beasts. To increase the power of the thread, do I have to modify the formula?"

An idea suddenly occurred to Wang Che.

Demonic beasts had their demonic arts, and Immortal Cultivators had magic jade slips.

Regardless, they all consumed the spirit or demonic energy in their bodies to release powerful attacks.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. No matter how much I further the demonic art, it'll still be very difficult to learn."

Wang Che could only shake his head.

Though the Beast Origin Skill involved simple methods, such as certain body postures and physical movements, demonic arts by nature were extremely hard to comprehend.

It might be too big a demand for the child.

"If this doesn't work, I can only try another method... It may be much simpler."

The alternative was to use medicinal pills.

In his previous life, Wang Che had adopted a green bird.

It was initially very weak, but later on, after being fed fire-attribute medicinal pills, the green bird's body underwent some drastic changes.

Eventually, it learned how to cast fire-elemental spells that could set the world alight.

Any flames it spewed out could raze several hundred thousand miles of mountain ranges.

Then, after consuming a heavenly material and a few drops of the phoenix's blood essence, the green bird had even been reborn as a demon king divine beast.

There may have been no such pills in this world, but there were still various kinds of drugs available.

Some were used to heal soul pets.
