Soul skill.
When a soul pet reaches a certain cultivation level, it gains understanding of specific techniques.
Unlike now, soul beasts of the ancient era weren't able to develop intelligence for long periods of time.
As such, to comprehend a soul skill, they had to wait for their cultivation level to rise, and for their intelligence to develop.
However, in the present day, the cultivation age requirement for the learning of soul skills has been greatly reduced, thanks to the soul pets' incubation phases, which granted them intelligence.
Wang Che looked at the green caterpillar and thought to himself.
A soul pet's soul skill wasn't a simple matter.
Even for third years, there was only limited knowledge taught on the subject in school.
From what he knew, these techniques were usually passed down via the soul pet's genes and as such were innate, or in other words, unchangeable.
