Start With Contracting Sprites Chapter 94 - Su Hao VS Old Chen

Chapter 94: Su Hao VS Old Chen

On the podium, Old Chen spoke.

“Just yesterday, our school received instructions from the a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers.

“This year’s College Entrance Examination is organized in the province. Among which, the written examination, the Spiritual Force Examination, and sprite battles are generally the same as previous years, but…”

“These are just the basics and they will only eliminate those students who can’t get into Sprite Universities. In other words, if you want to get into a Sprite University and a better university, you’re destined to take the second round of the combat test.”

“The combat test is similar to your joint examination, but there are more compet.i.tors. The provincial guild has also categorized the examination areas into different levels.”

“For example, there are only a few entry-level sprites in the elementary examination area.”

“The intermediate examination area is filled with entry-level sprites, with a small number of intermediate entry-level and very few advanced entry-level sprites.”

“In the advanced examination area, there are more intermediate, and advanced entry-level sprites. There are very few elite-level sprites.”

“Defeating sprites of different levels will give you different marks, and the final combination of marks will be the total score of your combat test. So, the key point of your consideration is how to choose the examination area!”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Choosing an elementary examination area is less difficult and less dangerous, but at the same time, it’s very difficult for you to get high marks.”

“The upper limit for the intermediate and advanced examination areas is higher, but it may be due to the high difficulty level. Your final score may be lower as a result.”

“Regarding the question on how to choose your examination area, in the last half a month before the College Entrance Examination, I will give you some advice based on your sprite’s strength and combat level.”

Old Chen continued to talk about some detailed rules.

This included the length of the examination and the specific restrictions.

Unlike the joint examination, in the combat round of the College Entrance Examination, the candidates were not allowed to attack each other.

However, the intensity of wild sprites would be much higher than the joint examination, similarly testing the candidates’ survival ability and battle ability.

“At the moment, the tentative types of examination areas are forest, ancient ruins, isolated islands and so on. However, we can’t guarantee that the examination rules won’t undergo changes before the College Entrance Examination. Therefore, while training, students need to pay close attention to related situations.”

“The school will also draw up a corresponding teaching plan according to the College Entrance Examination rules.”

After cla.s.s.

Old Chen called Su Hao to her office.

“How did your training go for your two sprites during winter break? You didn’t fall behind, right? Now that everyone is becoming stronger, you’re far from being able to relax.”

Old Chen knew about Su Hao’s training plans.

But she was also worried that Su Hao had gotten high from playing outside for the past two months.

It wasn’t easy for First High to have nurtured a student who could suppress other high schools. If Su Hao went down the wrong path, the headmaster would definitely fight it out with her.

“Since you’ve returned to school, follow me to the training field. I want to test the level of your sprite. If you can’t meet my requirements, I’ll double your training for the new semester.”

Old Chen glanced outside the office door. A pancake face was peeking his head into the office.

“If you want to watch, come with me.”

Liu Ren quickly followed. There were also a few cla.s.smates whom Su Hao found familiar, but he couldn’t remember their names.

“Hey, Old Su, let’s have a battle later.”

They walked out of the cla.s.sroom building, feeling the sunlight s.h.i.+ning on the field. Liu Ren pointed at a tortoise the size of an eight-storey table in the distance. He raised his rounded double chin and said, “Look, my Little Charcoal Tortoise has already evolved into a Lava Tortoise.”

He glanced at Reverie b.u.t.terfly.

Although Liu Ren didn’t think that the Lava Tortoise would be able to compete with the b.u.t.terfly G.o.d after its evolution.

But no matter what, it was still a meat-s.h.i.+eld sprite that was good at defense. A few moves between them shouldn’t be a problem.

Beside his feet was a little green-blue frog.

“This is the second sprite I’ve contracted, the Blue Water Frog. I hope it can be like Heavenly King Zhou’s Frog King in the future… It’s such a pity how my Blue Water Frog’s level of cultivation isn’t high enough, and it is rather different from your Flaming Cloud Crow… Can you help me design a cultivation plan for my Blue Water Frog? I’ll transfer the money to you first.”

As they spoke,

They followed Old Chen to the school’s battle hall.

There was an elderly man who was also a gatekeeper, judge, and cleaner in the battle hall.

At this time of the day, each cla.s.s had their own timetables, so there weren’t many people in the battle hall.

The gatekeeper opened the sole high-level battle stage in the center of the battle hall.

It could withstand the battle of entry-level sprites.

This was unlike ordinary venues, which required the construction team to fill in the gaps after a battle.

“Come, let your Reverie b.u.t.terfly use its full strength.”

Old Chen’s Marionette floated onto the battle stage.

Reverie b.u.t.terfly also flew into the venue.

“Gurgle~!”

It remembered the times when it was still a Silkworm Baby, when it trembled in fear just with a look from the Marionette.

But it’s different now, gurgle ~!

Su Hao’s eyes focused on the Marionette, observing its data.

In the beginning, he was still wondering if he should use his full strength. Only he himself knew how strong his Reverie b.u.t.terfly was right now.

Ordinary advanced entry-level sprites wouldn’t last more than a few moves from the little rascal.

But this Marionette…

“It has already reached the upper limit of advanced entry-level and it has a pretty good cultivation level. Logically speaking, it should have long reached elite-level.”

He didn’t think too much about it.

Old Chen had already gotten the Marionette to start probing.

The Energy Ball condensed in front of it.

Reverie b.u.t.terfly similarly threw out an Energy Ball too.

Two b.a.l.l.s of similar colors brushed past each other in mid-air, shooting straight at each other.

But the two sprites dodged nimbly.

Bang!!

The Energy b.a.l.l.s. .h.i.t the edges of the battle stage, and circles of faint ball-shaped shadows exploded on the transparent protective panel that rose up.

When Old Chen saw this, her expression became much more solemn.

She put away her initial idea of guiding Reverie b.u.t.terfly in the battle.

“Energy Ball.”

Reverie b.u.t.terfly flapped its wings and flew rapidly. Two feelers on the top of its left and right hands condensed an Energy Ball each.

The two b.a.l.l.s spun and whooshed out.

They sealed off the s.p.a.ce for the Marionette to dodge.

“Psychic s.h.i.+eld!”

Two translucent s.h.i.+elds appeared on both sides of the Marionette, spinning around its body to block the few energy b.a.l.l.s that came to it at high speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Smoke and dust exploded as shallow holes and cracks appeared on the battle stage, which was originally enough to withstand the battle between entry-level sprites.

The shock wave spread in all directions.

The two sprites exchanged blows rapidly between each other, throwing out several Energy b.a.l.l.s in a second.

The speed of the Reverie b.u.t.terfly was fast, its movements were agile and graceful as it dodged the Energy Ball or Granule Machine Gun flying towards it.

The Marionette’s speed was not as fast, but the two Psychic s.h.i.+elds received an endless supply of Psychic energy, making them much harder than the Armored Crab’s carapace. Even after throwing dozens of Energy b.a.l.l.s at it, the two s.h.i.+elds couldn’t be broken.

“Psychic Shock!”

“Use that move.”

Psychic power swept through the air, bringing with it a shock wave that seemed to have substance.

At the same time, Reverie b.u.t.terfly’s eyes lit up.

Buzz—

The chaotic vision caused the psychic attack to deviate and hit directly onto the protective plate at the edge, making the protective plate shake violently, as if it could explode any moment.

After the Marionette’s body shook for a while, the Psychic s.h.i.+eld that couldn’t hold any longer became solid again.

Explosions rang out continuously as dust and smoke shrouded the entire battle stage.

Liu Ren and his friends in the audience were all stunned.

This is… entry-level?

Liu Ren recalled the opponent he commanded the Lava Tortoise to defeat, and then he looked at the two sprites on the field… well, they were already out of sight. He could only see a spinning Energy Ball flying out of the smoke and dust, pa.s.sing over the protective plate and blasting onto a certain ordinary battle stage.

A huge pit was blasted out with a boom, making Liu Ren s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.

For the safety of my Lava Tortoise, that so-called battle… I’ve never mentioned it before.
