Start With Contracting Sprites Chapter 264 - Dumb Unicorn, Extraordinary (Third Update)

Chapter 264: Dumb Unicorn, Extraordinary (Third Update)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was a mentor guarding the Pure Lake of Dragon City all year round.

The one who spoke was an instructor surnamed w.a.n.g. He looked like he was already in his fifties or sixties.

“Every time the Pure Pool is opened, it can only accommodate one sprite. The materials invested are also different according to the attributes of the sprite, so… which one of you is going first?”

His gaze swept across the five sprites in front of him.

w.a.n.g Qi, Jiang Xiuqi, and the others looked at one another.

“I’ll do it,” Jiang Xiuqi said. “My sprite is an extraordinary. It doesn’t need to break through. Let it take the lead to do some research.”

Among the five people and five sprites, only Jiang Xiuqi brought his trump card.

That Goat Horn Immortal.

“Looks like Senior Jiang’s strategy is to gather resources and create an opportunity for the Goat Horn Immortal to break through to monarch rank.”

Su Hao thought in secret.

The Goat Horn Immortal wasn’t a sprite with very high potential, but Senior Jiang’s one had pretty high talent. It was also the disciple of Senior Wu’s sprite, a monarch rank Goat Horn Immortal, which it received guidance from, so it walked a very similar path.

The probability of breaking through to monarch rank in the future wasn’t low either.

After confirming that the first sprite was Goat Horn Immortal, the instructor surnamed w.a.n.g instructed a few staff members to start preparing.

At the upper end of the Pure Pool, a certain opening was revealed. Countless precious materials were thrown in and they fell into the pool with a plop before disappearing instantly.

Su Hao saw that the Pure Pool was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye after ‘eating’ the materials. It was no longer lifeless. The water in the pool became bright as it s.h.i.+ned under the light. There were also waves of dense mist on the surface of the pool. That was spiritual energy that had turned into water mist!

It seemed that as soon as the precious materials fell into the Pure Pool, the energy contained in them would be immediately stimulated.

After waiting for a while, the door leading to the Pure Pool opened. In an instant, rich spiritual energy rushed towards them, as if they had drunk a bottle of iced cola on a hot summer day. One word, awesome!

“Let your sprite in, hurry!” The older instructor urged.

The Goat Horn Immortal took a few steps forward and entered. The metal door buzzed and closed again.

At this moment…

The people outside could see that the Goat Horn Immortal had already stepped into the pool until the pool water submerged to its waist.

The instructor in charge of the Pure Pool said, “I’m going to start it. The duration is about 30 to 60 minutes.”

He pressed the control b.u.t.ton. Instantly, the mist on the Pure Pool became thicker. The few special gemstones around the Pure Pool also lit up suddenly. The water in the pool rose abruptly, high in the middle and low all around, like a pot lid, covering the whole Goat Horn Immortal in a very bad shape.

Boiled Goat Horn Immortal in a pool!

At this moment, the Goat Horn Immortal stood still and kept circulating its spiritual force. Some of its aura dissipated through the special walls and gla.s.s windows.

The mist also gradually stirred inside. Sprouts broke out of the ground around the pool water…

“I can feel that it has absorbed a large amount of energy and is becoming stronger! Some of the impurities acc.u.mulated from the cultivation materials in the past have also been expelled! When we go back, I estimate that my Goat Horn Immortal can develop to an extraordinary high stage without facing any bottlenecks!”

Jiang Xiuqi sounded very happy.

After approximately 47 minutes, the water in the Pure Pool slowly descended and calmed down again.

Clearly, in the judgment of the Pure Pool system, the purification of the Goat Horn Immortal had already been completed.

Buzz–

When the door opened again, dense mist spewed out, but it wasn’t as dense as before. Without a doubt, a lot of the precious materials inside had already been consumed.

The second sprite that went in to take a bath and enjoy the sauna steam was w.a.n.g Qi’s Demonic Flame Pig. After 44 minutes, not only did it purify its spiritual force, mental strength, and flames, it also used the opportunity to break through to extraordinary level in one go.

Instantly, the Demonic Flame Pig erupted with extraordinary power. Flames shrouded the pool water like clouds and hit the crystal walls around it. Fortunately, the materials in the whole room were very special. The uncontrollable shock waves of energy during the breakthrough didn’t cause any damage to the Pure Pool or the whole large room.

The third sprite, the fourth sprite…

The sprites of Senior Qin Ya and a certain senior also broke through in the Pure Pool one after another.

They were originally at the limit of elite level so they took a shorter time than Goat Horn Immortal to absorb and purify in the pool, but they gained more because they used this opportunity to break through.

After a while, it was finally time for the Dumb Unicorn.

“Throw in water-element materials,” the old Instructor w.a.n.g said. After a moment, he looked at Su Hao and his horse before saying, “You can go in now.”

The Dumb Unicorn, which had already walked dozens and hundreds of rounds around the hall, couldn’t stand it anymore. The moment the door opened, it ran in with a “Neighhh”.

Mist filled the surface of the pool. Water-element spiritual energy condensed into water droplets that dripped down drop by drop.

Instructor w.a.n.g pressed the b.u.t.ton. The pool water, which wasn’t considered deep, rose again, enveloping the Dumb Unicorn.

The essence contained in the pool water was constantly absorbed, and as time pa.s.sed, the light gradually faded.

Minutes and seconds pa.s.sed by.

It was the 40th minute. In the past, at this time, the signs of other sprites breaking through were already very obvious.

An aura burst forth, and strange phenomena appeared.

But Su Hao’s Water Cloud Horse seemed to be… unusually calm?

w.a.n.g Qi and the others took a few more looks and were a little worried. The breakthrough couldn’t have… failed, right?

At this moment…

The system of the Pure Pool had yet to judge the purification, and the modification was still ongoing.

The time continued to pa.s.s. It reached 50 minutes, 55 minutes, 60 minutes…

It had already exceeded the estimated time limit, but there was still movement in the pool water.

Mentor Ma couldn’t help but ask, “There’s no problem, right?”

“There’s no problem with that little rascal, it’s doing very well!” w.a.n.g instructor said with a bit of a gritting tone.

He lowered his head and looked at the control screen in front of him.

There were lines of data on it. Some determined the degree of the sprite’s purity, while others showed the consumption of precious materials.

At this moment…

The consumption of precious materials was already more than half, but it was still increasing at an extremely fast speed.

Usually, sprites would only consume one-third to half of the precious materials — the rest could be scooped up and saved for the next time.

But at this moment… The energy contained in the precious materials was constantly being consumed, and couldn’t be stopped.

Old Instructor w.a.n.g’s expression darkened!

Suddenly, movement finally appeared in the Pure Pool. Water droplets surged, and an invisible aura rose abruptly. A blue figure leaped out of the pool, bringing the water with it.

“Neighhh~!”

A cry rang out, and the pressure dissipated.

The signs of breaking through to the extraordinary level finally appeared.

w.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s finally almost done purifying… Hmm?!”

In front of him, about 40% of the precious materials’ energy was gone in an instant like a broken dam.

At this moment, in a cloud formed by dense spiritual energy, the Dumb Unicorn had also completed its final breakthrough!

Water streams erupted from the pool, and thousands of water droplets floated in mid-air. Like countless cannonb.a.l.l.s, they hit the crystal walls and produced banging sounds. Even the gla.s.s windows seemed to tremble.

In just a moment, the Dumb Unicorn withdrew its might.

It opened its mouth and sucked in the substantial spiritual energy cloud.

It burped.

A Water Cloud Horse covered in scales appeared in everyone’s eyes, looking more handsome than before.

Sizzle–

The metal door opened. There was no dense mist, only a water-blue figure rushed out.

It came to Su Hao’s side and rubbed itself against him while breathing out cold air.

At this point, the purification of the five sprites concluded successfully.

Mentor Ma said a few polite words to express his grat.i.tude. Suddenly, he saw the old instructor swaying around, holding his chest while looking very uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you alright?”

“No, it’s alright,” said w.a.n.g instructor. His eyes couldn’t help but look at the Water Cloud Horse… which had drained the energy from the Pure Pool.

He was stunned.

“Why, why are there horns on its head?”

As soon as Instructor w.a.n.g finished speaking, many people looked over and realized that a pair of dark blue horns had grown out of the Water Cloud Horse’s head at some point.

It was a bewildering scene.

Seeing this, Su Hao pondered for a moment before saying, “Well, I think it might not be a Water Cloud Horse, but some kind of… sprite that looks like a Water Cloud Horse. Yes, it’s a new form of sprite. That’s why it broke through to extraordinary level before I came up with the evolution plan.”

w.a.n.g Qi and the other students :”…”

Instructor Ma :”…”

A certain middle-aged instructor :”…” and covered his bad heart.
