Start With Contracting Sprites Chapter 124 - Surprise Attack Team

Chapter 124: Surprise Attack Team

Su Hao looked over.

They were at the airport.

Not far away, five large transport planes were parked.

Just by looking at its size, one could tell that this kind of transport plane could even transport giants like the Lava Dragon Turtle.

It was more than enough… to carry a group of entry-level sprites, for even the one with the largest physique was only a Back Tower Dragon.

The stocky build instructor read out names one by one. The candidates who were called picked up their backpacks, called out to their sprites, and boarded the designated transport plane.

Su Hao boarded the third transport plane.

He was separated from Liu Ren and Gu Lingyao.

This was intentional.

They did not allow the candidates to help each other.

The transport plane was very s.p.a.cious. Su Hao found a seat and sat down.

There was also a “deck” here where sprites could be fixed down.

“Gurgle!”

Reverie b.u.t.terfly resisted.

It flew to the top of Su Hao’s head.

“Squawk?”

The Flaming Cloud Crow originally wanted to follow, but the top of Su Hao’s head couldn’t accommodate it, so it could only squat silently at the corner.

There was enough s.p.a.ce in the cabin for the Water Unicorn Beast — but it was immediately scared and frozen by a very fierce-looking Giant Armored Crab within the cabin.

It instinctively chose to retreat to Su Hao’s side.

On the account that it could provide air-conditioning, Su Hao temporarily forgave it.

“But that Giant Armored Crab, is actually extraordinary.”

It made him feel like being extraordinary was becoming less and less valuable.

After him, candidates walked up one by one and each found a seat to sit down.

Silence.

It was just that from time to time, gazes sized each other up and down.

Most of them were looking at him.

Bang ~ Bang ~

A huge figure walked over.

It attracted a lot of attention again.

It was the Back Tower Dragon.

And his Sprite Trainer, Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang also brought another sprite, Gargoyle, with him. It was also at advanced entry-level standard.

Su Hao looked over.

Yu Jiang was indeed as Liu Ren had said in the intelligence report. He was a fair and clean boy, not very old, and looked very easy to bully.

But the two sprites beside him were each more ferocious than the other.

When Su Hao looked over, Yu Jiang happened to look over too.

Then, he saw a slight blush appear on his shy face.

He quickly lowered his head again.

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

Why are you blus.h.i.+ng!

“Everyone is here. Sit tight and prepare to set off.”

The Sprite Trainer of the Giant Armored Crab spoke from within the cabin.

The cabin door slowly closed, accompanied by a buzzing sound and a downward pressure.

The transport plane had taken off.

In the cabin, the shape of the island was displayed on the huge screen.

It looked like a piece of pancake that had been chewed off at one corner.

Pancake… Tiny dots were marked on the outskirts of the island.

That was their drop off point.

The distance between each point was very far.

Even if the rule of not attacking each other was excluded, it would have been very difficult to interfere with each other when more than 100 people were thrown onto such a large island.

“But it’s impossible for the examiners’ team to arrange for a simple a.s.sessment…”

Su Hao thought.

The examiners definitely were aware of the general information about their sprites.

Since it was difficult for candidates to interfere with each other, they could only enhance the strength of wild sprites.

Although he was optimistic, he also remained cautious.

On the way.

It was still the sprites who couldn’t stand the boredom and broke the silence in the cabin.

They started chattering again.

Su Hao heard that Reverie b.u.t.terfly seemed to be instilling some kind of self-reliance and self-improving spirit into other sprites.

The Back Tower Dragon stared with its bell-sized eyes, making deep growls from time to time.

Su Hao could hear excitement from its growls.

“Your sprite knows so much.” Yu Jiang looked at him with admiration. When he saw him looking over, he lowered his head again.

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

He thought about it and asked, “By the way, why aren’t you wearing your school uniform?”

Could it be that the power behind this boy was too strong?

Yu Jiang said, “Because I didn’t go to high school.”

“I didn’t go to elementary school or middle school either. My family arranged teachers and cla.s.ses for me. When they saw that I had already completed the basic cla.s.ses, pa.s.sed the battle a.s.sessment from my guiding teacher, and also pa.s.sed the Sprite Cultivator a.s.sessment, they signed me up for the College Entrance Examination.”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

If he remembered correctly, Yu Jiang seemed to be 14 years old, and that was only his nominal age.

Yet, he had already achieved so much.

How did Liu Ren and the other sc.u.ms live?

He himself couldn’t help but be amazed as well.

“Perhaps, this is what a real genius is, completely different from hardworking people like me.”

…

It was the first time the College Entrance Examination was added to the combat test.

All the TV channels had already begun promoting it long ago, be it Tiannan Satellite TV or other satellite channels.

There was going to be a two-day live combat test.

Of course, calling it a live-stream certainly meant there would be some delay, hence selective broadcasting.

That was enough for the audience everywhere to look forward to.

Sprites, Sprite Trainers, battles… For most ordinary families, they were too far away.

Usually, there would be mostly performances or compet.i.tions on TV and on the Internet.

One would only be able to see sprites battling in real life at the High School League.

But the combat test was different from the High School League.

8 a.m.

It was the start of the broadcast.

Early in the morning, many viewers were already waiting in front of their televisions.

Most people in Tiannan paid attention to their own province’s college entrance examination.

After the advertis.e.m.e.nt.

Finally.

The program started.

The two sprites’ energy b.a.l.l.s collided, exploding into a ball of bright flames.

Amidst the flames, the words “Tiannan Province Combat Examination” appeared.

The curtains were lifted.

The camera panned from a high angle.

The camera slowly zoomed in.

Displaying the view of the examination hall buildings.

In the elementary and intermediate examination areas, candidates had already entered the venue one after another, carefully exploring the complicated terrains with their sprites.

When someone b.u.mped into wild sprites, battles would start hurriedly.

Each candidate used their own method.

Flames, Vines, Earth Thorns, and other unique skills were used, making viewers filled with excitement.

From time to time, some reporters would interrupt the program with the examination candidates’ interviews.

They were all very positive.

Many students who had yet to reach contract age clamored, wanting to choose the Sprite stream during their third year of high school.

In Bay Town.

Lao Chen and the other teachers from the various schools were also arranged to be seated in a hall to watch the battle through surveillance cameras, as well as footage taken from high alt.i.tude drones.

“Eh, what’s that?”

A teacher pointed at the scene captured outside the island and said, “Why is there a speedboat with people on it!”

“Those are the people from the surprise attack team.”

A Sprite Trainer from the examiners’ team said, “In the advanced area a.s.sessment, we added Sprite Trainers who will be launching surprise attacks on candidates.”

“The reason why it wasn’t announced in advance was to test whether these outstanding students are able to deal with sudden situations calmly.”

“Examiner w.a.n.g, may I ask what level the Sprite Trainers of the surprise attack team are at?”

“They each have an elite-level sprite.”

Seeing that the expressions of many teachers present had changed, Examiner w.a.n.g smiled and said, “But the members of the surprise attack team won’t use their full strength. As long as the candidates don’t panic, they will be able to escape from the attack team members.”

“It’s mainly to test the candidates’ ability to react on the spot.”

“The surprise attack team will only officially enter after half a day.”

However, he had also expressed in his voice that if the candidate’s adaptability was too poor and panicked in the face of danger, then… they might also be eliminated by the members of the surprise attack team.

The high school teachers weren’t so clear.

However, Examiner w.a.n.g knew that the three big terrorist organizations were becoming increasingly rampant.

Addition of the surprise attack team was meant as a form of prevention. When these students were attacked by terrorists, they would have experience and be able to deal with it calmly.

PS1:

Don’t say that something bad always happens to the protagonist. It’s just that our vision is fixed on the protagonist.

In this world, terrorist organizations are not weak either.

In the end, I can’t possibly write it that way. After all, how can the protagonist act cool in front of a Heavenly King?

Perhaps there’s something wrong with the setting of my context in the previous chapters, but don’t think too one-sidedly~

PS2:

Important notice!!

The release date is set. Next Friday, which is… the 7th of February.

This lousy author is working hard to save the drafts. After it is published… Well, it will increase by a little.
