"Something is strange."

It was the morning three days later.

Mother Wang stared at the green caterpillar that had grown twice its size with a puzzled expression.

It wasn't that the 20-centimeter green caterpillar was humongous.

The length of an adult's palm was only 20 centimeters after all, so it could still fit in a palm.

Yet...

Feeling that something was amiss, Mother Wang quickly ran a search online.

"Can a green caterpillar grow up to 20 centimeters in three days?"

The screen was riddled with answers.

"After incubation, a green caterpillar will be about 10 centimetres in length. One centimeter represents a year's worth of soul power cultivation base. Twenty centimeters is about ten years' worth of soul power cultivation base."

"Normally, it can grow up to 20 centimeters in a week or so, with the fastest recorded period being around five days. Please be cautious if you have noticed your green caterpillar growing at an even faster rate, as it could be suffering from a type of terminal illness."

"Black blood cancer. If a soul pet suffers from this disease, the life force in their blood will be rapidly consumed leading to an abnormal increase in soul power cultivation! It will be difficult to see any symptoms in the short term. When their entire body starts to turn black, that's a sign of it being in the late stage of this disease. By that point, it will explode and die..."

Mother Wang was speechless upon reading this article.

She scrolled down, but could not find any more explanations.

"I was just wondering how the little one could've grown to 20 centimeters in just three days... so it must have a terminal illness then..."

Mother Wang immediately closed the webpage.

"This is unreliable...

"Why do you search for such things online?" Father Wang asked. "Isn't it good that the child is growing so fast? Why do you care about it so much?"

Ignoring his question, Mother Wang lifted the green caterpillar up to study its body, which made it look very awkward.

"Everything seems to be alright..." Mother Wang noted while shaking her head. "However, the child seems to have gotten stronger."

Father Wang laughed at her comment. "Isn't that obvious? With the increase in soul power cultivation, the child's body will definitely be strengthened. Oh, I forgot. You didn't graduate from high school. Your martial soul didn't awaken and you didn't pass a few subjects too. You've probably forgotten about it after all these years."

Mother Wang instantly put down the green caterpillar and started to walk up to him with a spatula in hand.

"Hey, wait, don't hit me. Honey, I was wrong... I'm the same, I didn't graduate either!"

Wang Che shook his head while watching the scene in front him and left with the green caterpillar.

"I'm going out to buy something," Wang Che said.

His parents were indeed suspicious of how the green caterpillar had grown so quickly.

However, seeing as they didn't pay too much attention to it, Wang Che decided not to say anything.
