After that, the group followed Professor Yan to the sales area as they listened intently to his introductions of the various soul beast eggs on display.

Along the way, they each picked out their favorite ones.

Professor Yan spoke with an amiable tone. For some reason, he did not carry the air of a professor when he talked.

Leading the way, he explained the history of the many soul beasts, future growth prospects of the various soul pet eggs, how the Contract Soul Masters should train them, how to increase the intimacy between the two sides, and more. He was indeed very knowledgeable.

Though he spoke at length and gave extremely detailed accounts, the way the professor had explained such topics was very entertaining, and made everyone who heard it laugh out loud.

Before long, everyone was done with their selections.

Wang Che suddenly asked, "Professor Yan, I'm asking this seriously. Do you think the green caterpillar has any potential?"

With a smile, Professor Yan answered, "In theory, no."

Just these three words seemed to invalidate his purpose and existence.

Upon hearing this, the green caterpillar resting on Wang Che's chest suddenly looked at Professor Yan restlessly.

The little soul pet only calmed down when Wang Che stroked its head, and proceeded to stare at the professor with its wide eyes.

Professor Yan looked back at the green caterpillar in surprise, studying it curiously. "It seems that its intelligence level is quite high. This means that your soul power would be slightly stronger than the average person's.

"However, the potential of the green caterpillar species is much too low. The theory of species potential was the result of countless researchers exploring the evolutionary patterns of soul beasts over years. As such, you shouldn't expect there to be too many anomalies, especially when it comes to soul pets like the green caterpillar.

"In high school, you should've learned the basic theories of soul beast evolution. A green caterpillar will evolve into a Green Nether Butterfly after its cultivation base reaches ten years or so.

"The Green Nether Butterfly is the final form of its evolution, but its potential is not high either. It's only about 200 points. Even with a different nurturing process, the range will not exceed ten points; there won't be much deviation, basically."

Professor Yan suddenly paused. "I can, however, tell you some information that perhaps even a university student may not have known. Green caterpillars can mutate and evolve. There was an abnormality as such in the Clear Capital War Zone in recent years. Apparently, a Contract Soul Master with a martial soul of the Linguistic Spirit Tree chose a wild green caterpillar with a cultivation base of three thousand years as his second soul contract.

"After a while, the special power of the Linguistic Spirit Tree martial soul started to fuse with the wild green caterpillar, causing it to mutate and evolve into the Linguistic Spirit Insect King. In addition to its original bug type, the caterpillar also became a dual attribute psychic type soul pet."

When they heard this, everyone in the group was shocked.

Psychic type soul pet.

Even among the many types of soul pets, psychic type soul pets were considered to be especially powerful.

Furthermore, this was with taking the other soul pets of considerable strength into account.

"This new type of soul pet is currently being researched by the Clear Capital War Zone. Its species potential is as high as 420. Such a figure is above average, when compared to other rare soul pets."
