Start With Contracting Sprites - Chapter 233 - Sprite Trainer Butterfly (Two-In-One Chapter)

Chapter 233: Sprite Trainer Butterfly (Two-In-One Chapter)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heavenly King Wu didn’t leave. Leaving would prove that he was a toolman.

He went to the cabinet on the left, squatted down, and very skillfully pulled open the drawer below. From inside, he took out an extraordinary tea box.

“Teacher…”

“Take it, take it, you’re wasting my tea leaves again!”

The principal’s face darkened. He waved his hand and stopped looking at him.

He looked at Su Hao and examined him a few times, before his gaze became much gentler.

It was like a grandfather looking at his grandson.

“Come, come, let me see your sprite.”

The office was very spacious, and the floor was very hard and thick. It didn’t seem crowded even when Dazed Crow and Big Fat Bear crawled in.

The thin and small Principal Yang flipped out from behind the desk with a push of his hand. In an instant, he approached the Big Fat Bear, grabbed its hair and took a look.

Then, it came to the side of the Dumb Unicorn and stretched out his finger to flick the scales on its body.

The two sprites felt the aura and didn’t dare to move at all towards the amiable-looking old man in front of them, they just didn’t dare to.

Their faces were filled with “obedient.jpg”.

“Your few sprites are all cultivated very well. They are a little… better than I imagined.”

As expected of a Crown Sprite Trainer, his horizons were different.

Unlike Senior Wu who wanted to grab a blade of grass every day.

Although he was an elite for a year and took less than two years to become a master, in the eyes of his teacher, he was probably just above average.

Work hard, he had to work hard!

He wanted to.

Principal Yang coughed, as if he was hiding it, but also thinking. After a few seconds, he said, “Since you brought all the sprites here today, well, I’ll let my old buddies teach these little guys step by step.”

He snapped his fingers, and ripples appeared in the air.

Two sprites appeared in front of Su Hao’s eyes.

The first was a human-shaped sprite wearing a blue-purple satin robe and a black veil hat. It looked like an ancient minister.

Ghost-element sprite: “Cabinet University Scholar”!

It evolved from the sprite “Little Book Soul” to “Champion”, and then into the final evolved form.

However, Su Hao remembered that as a ghost-element sprite, the body of a Cabinet University Scholar was an illusion, a soul.

However, the scholar in front of him was surrounded by Nature Energy. Its body was real… You could even see the shadow behind it!

Just like a real person.

The second was a Holy Brilliance Spirit, emitting a gentle light.

But unlike those Su Hao had seen before, the Holy Brilliance Spirit in front of him had twelve wings of light, so holy that it made people unable to look straight at it.

So…

He glanced at the interface.

There was very little information. He could only tell that the Cabinet University Scholar and the twelve-winged Holy Brilliance Spirit, were both monarch rank, but he dared to bet that with ten bags of masks, the twelve-winged Holy Brilliance Spirit, could completely crush Senior Wu’s Trading Puppet, Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle, and Goat Horn Immortal with one hand.

“My old buddies, one is a ghost and the other is a light-element, but they know a lot of things. Illusion, dark-element unique skills, thunder, fire, and so on, they know a little about everything. Let them communicate by themselves.”

…

In the principal’s office.

Senior Wu took out a few pieces of emerald green tea leaves from the tea box very solemnly and placed them in three cups.

He poured the water.

Splash!

A fragrance entered his nose. For a moment, Su Hao only felt that his mind was clear and he was full of energy. Even if he worked hard for another ten hours on the thesis, there wouldn’t be any problems!

They haven’t even had tea yet!

“What tea is this?”

“Nameless tea leaves.” Senior Wu gave him a look. “Drink more. This is something only Teacher will have. One sip will make your mind 100 times clearer. Drink two sips to replenish your soul power. Drink three sips…”

Su Hao took a small sip.

In an instant, it was as if he was standing in the clouds. His eyes and ears became intelligent, and many things that he couldn’t remember clearly in the past suddenly surfaced.

It was actually tea leaves that could be effective on humans!

He glanced at the interface, and even his soul power increased a little.

No wonder Senior Wu wanted to come to Teacher’s… Cough, cough, cough!

“Let me, let me…”

As a junior, Su Hao had to take the initiative to boil water and make tea. After drinking two cups, he finally found an opportunity to ask,

“Teacher, why is that city called Demon Snake City?”

“This is a long story, so I’ll cut it short today. It can be summed up into three points.”

The principal stretched out a finger. “You should know by now. The aliens stepped onto the land of the New World a few hundred years before us.”

Su Hao expressed his understanding.

But he was still puzzled.

What level would the aliens develop to in a few hundred years?

In the beginning, when Planet Aquamarine had just started contracting sprites, how did they survive without a Heavenly King and a title?

“About decades ago, when the two empires were in a stalemate and the Cold War was about to break out, a World Entrance suddenly appeared in the central region of Asia.”

He paused for a moment and said, “At that time, it had already been two to three years since the appearance of sprites on Planet Aquamarine. There were also more than ten World Entrances, but none of them were connected to the aliens. That entrance was the first to let us know that there were other humans.”

“At that time, our Planet Aquamarine didn’t have any strong warriors. We could only use nuclear weapons to scare the enemy.”

From the teacher’s description, Su Hao could imagine how tragic it was back then.

Fortunately, at that time, Planet Aquamarine already had the division of elite, extraordinary, and monarch ranks. They were wary about the strong aliens.

Meanwhile, the aliens didn’t understand tanks, planes, and types of mushrooms.

Their technology and living standards were comparable to the ancient times of Planet Aquamarine, and they were still in the ignorant tribal era!

“In the beginning, the aliens didn’t care about our Planet Aquamarine because there was a vast world waiting for them to explore. As for us, we adopted a fixed strategy for every entrance connected to the aliens.

“With the threat of a nuclear bomb, it also stayed in a stable stalemate for a long time.”

“And then?”

“Later, the aliens targeted our technology.”

“Technology?”

The answer was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Seeing his surprise, the old man gave him a knock on the head. “You yourself are also a high-level Sprite Cultivator, how can you say that you underestimate the power of technology?”

“Think about it with your brain. If the Union doesn’t have nine years of compulsory education, Sprite Universities, and all kinds of sprite evolution pathways and unique skill learning methods that have not been announced, and without the theoretical support of advanced evolution, how many elite-level and master-level students can our Dragon Nation produce in a year?”

The answer was very, very little.

Su Hao thought of himself. If he didn’t have the facilities and resources of Whale Island University, even if he had a cheat… Even if he was outstanding, it was impossible for him to be a master-level now!

It was all because the predecessors had paved the way.

“Does this mean that the aliens aren’t as strong as we thought?”

“No, no, they’re still stronger than us,” Principal Yang said.

Su Hao: “…Erm…”

Then what were we talking about?

Then, he heard his teacher say, “But the aliens aren’t uniform. They use their tribes as the main body, and their totems are different. They often attack one another, and the tribes that are eyeing our Planet Aquamarine technology are only a part of them.”

“The Demon Snake Tribe is one of them, so my old bones have to stay here all this time.”

“But as long as I, your teacher, am in charge, Demon Snake City won’t have the guts to attack…”

Teacher was domineering.

Su Hao screamed in admiration.

The next second, he heard, “If Demon Snake City really attacks, it also means that it’s very dangerous.”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

From the tribes of the aliens, to technology, then to the strong people, and then to sprites, Su Hao understood a lot.

Right now, just the Dragon Nation alone had many Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainers, so their situation wasn’t as dangerous as decades ago.

But they still couldn’t relax.

In the end, there were still a lot more strong people among the aliens compared to from Planet Aquamarine.

Especially,

Since twenty to thirty years ago, tribes like Demon Snake had begun to steal and learn the technology of Planet Aquamarine. Their development had also become much more rapid.

At the moment, Planet Aquamarine could only defend.

Su Hao looked out of the window.

Over here, they could see the large forest that was in front of them, between them and Demon Snake City.

He thought that if it was categorized according to the game map, it might only be a small circle near Whale Gate, a blue area.

Outside, the whole vast forest was filled with dangerous red areas.

It was difficult for Sprite Trainers of Dragon Nation to infiltrate deeper.

Even if rare treasures appeared, they could only fall into the pockets of Demon Snake City.

“But since there’s no war and no exploration, then… what’s the use of the Sprite Trainers here at Whale Gate?”

“Because you can’t let your guard down!”

The principal said, “If you don’t hit them or chop off their hands, they won’t be obedient. Attacking every day will affect the quality of sleep of mine, as an elderly!

“There are basically no battles above the Heavenly King level, but small-scale battles erupt from time to time in that large forest.

“You also have an extraordinary-level sprite now. In a small-scale battle between the champion and Heavenly King, you are a high-level combatant, so…”

Su Hao understood.

Going to the battlefield was expected.

It wasn’t the tragic city defense battle he had originally expected. That was already pretty good.

He was a young man who loved his country and had a firm stand.

It was just that…

“What if we get targeted by a soon-to-be Heavenly King?”

He had to admit that he was a little scared.

…

The battlefield wasn’t a place where you could go just because you wanted to.

On the first day, Su Hao stayed in the fortress.

The next day, Su Hao was still in the fortress.

Together with the dozen or so seniors who were also newbies, they went for lessons.

“The reason why the Demon Snake Tribe is named this way is because their main sprite is the Snake-Headed Demon pathway!

“Their technology is inferior to ours, but after hundreds of years of research, I can only say that the cultivation plan of the Snake-Headed Demon is very, very perfect. We can even see the different development directions of the fourth form.”

“On the battlefield, the enemy you need to be the most wary of is the Snake-Headed Demon!”

On the screen, a sprite with a human upper body and a snake lower body appeared. Its hair also looked like countless little snakes spitting their tongues.

Snake-Headed Demon!

“The Snake-Headed Demon of the Demon Snake Tribe has many areas of expertise. The brown-haired Snake-Headed Demon is good at petrification and likes to use the unique skill “Petrifying Light”. As for the green-haired Snake-Headed Demon, they are good at using poison. They can create large amounts of poisonous mist.”

“In addition, there are also Snake-Headed Demons skilled in perception, Snake-Headed Demons skilled in binding, Snake-Headed Demons skilled in charm…”

Su Hao learned something new.

Intelligence Points actually jumped five times!

Shocking ~!

The Demon Snake Tribe was only one of the many tribes on the alternate planet. The types of sprites and cultivation plans they had might not be as comprehensive as the alliance—after all, the relationships between their tribes weren’t harmonious.

But the Snake-Headed Demon sprite was definitely developed to the extreme by the Demon Snake Tribe!

The difficulty of advancing to monarch rank may not even be high!

“But after all, they are the same type of sprite, and they also have disadvantages. Perhaps earth-element materials, valuable materials used by the Snake-Headed Demon, are very precious to them over there, unlike us, where due to the diverse development, most of the precious materials have developed corresponding value.”

…

Knock, knock, knock!

“Teacher, it’s me.”

Su Hao pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Butterfly flying over, its body shrank halfway. With a gurgle, it laid on top of his head.

“You’ve learned it?”

“It learns… Well, faster.”

The principal’s head reached out from behind the computer, took a look, and then retracted back.

Su Hao saw that the Illusion Elemental Control column on Butterfly’s interface was already LV 2.

He looked at the training field outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The Dazed Crow emitted a dazzling light, but it didn’t turn into a small sun. There were only some flames, like liquid, flowing on its feathers like a layer of armor.

It wasn’t that it was weak, but it had truly mastered the Flaming Form. There was no longer a large amount of energy dissipating.

Its endurance ability increased by a lot.

It waved its sword, and the extreme flames formed a red sword flare, flying one to two hundred meters away with a whoosh.

“งYaง!”

“Wu wu wu wu ~!”

Su Hao heard the voice of the Big Fat Bear. He looked around and found that in the corner of the training field, the Big Fat Bear had its arms wrapped around its head and was curled up into a ball.

In front of it, a series of tiny thunder arcs emerged from the fingertips of the twelve-winged Holy Brilliance Spirit, which electrocuted the Big Fat Bear.

Every time it electrocuted it, its chubby body would tremble.

As if it had sensed his arrival, the Big Fat Bear looked up with a sobbing face.

Su Hao looked at the fat crying bear and recalled.

It seemed… to have never really endured any damage. The only time it was hardcore bullied, was to pull its leg, and it was dealt with by Dazed Crow and Butterfly in minutes.

Well…

Then let’s continue.

He made a praying gesture towards the Big Fat Bear.

He also saw the Bright Night Spirit working hard to cultivate beside the twelve-winged Holy Brilliance Spirit.

It drew a light energy ball with its left hand, and with its right… black light dots gathered and gradually turned into a ball shape.

Suddenly, its long, blazing white hair turned black.

“Fufu, fufu, ee ~ ee, ee?”

It was stunned. It saw that there were actually two balls in its hands, one white and one black. It threw them forward at once. The two Energy Balls collided with each other and exploded with a boom.

It clapped loudly, and then discovered that it was targeted by the twelve-winged Holy Brilliance Spirit.

Stare–

The dark side of Bright Night Spirit also froze.

Seeing that the sprites were all cultivating hard, Su Hao… Well, he was relieved.

“Teacher, apart from the Bright Night Spirit, I’ll take all the other sprites with me.”

“Go, go.”

Principal Yang waved his hand to chase them away. His eyes didn’t leave the computer in front of him. He stared a little too close, as if he wanted to stick himself onto it.

… Wouldn’t he be short-sighted?

Su Hao had just had this thought when it was extinguished.

An elite-level wasn’t even afraid of short-sightedness, much less Teacher.

He was probably too busy.

It was just that he couldn’t see Principal Yang, who was in front of the computer, smiling… a little wretchedly.

…

On the wide city wall that could accommodate four cars moving side by side.

More than ten newbies, including Su Hao, stood upright.

In front of him…

The instructor in the class distributed black Sprite Commandeering wristbands to each of them.

“This is a special wristband for the battlefield. It has the function of locating, contacting, and asking for assistance. Of course, there are distance restrictions.”

“In addition, Sprite Trainers who are captured alive or killed from the Demon Snake Tribe can only receive merit points as rewards for those who have records. This merit point can be exchanged for treasures from the headquarters of our Dragon Nation. Its value is even higher than the credits of our school.”

When he heard the word “killed”, Su Hao originally thought that he would be a little uncomfortable.

But no.

Perhaps it was because he had caught countless wanted criminals.

Those were small experiences, while the people from Demon Snake City were high-level experiences.

He saw many male and female seniors eager to try.

“You’re all newbies on the battlefield. I’ve assigned teams to you… Well, you don’t need to.” He was looking at Su Hao. “But remember, don’t go too deep. Safety first!”

“Alright, you guys find your teams and set off.”

Su Hao was on his own, and left with his sprites.

The others had to wait for their team, but the way they looked at Su Hao was very surprised and curious.

“He seems to be… the freshman Su Hao?”

…

Su Hao rode the Dumb Unicorn and entered the forest.

When he looked up, he could only see dense leaves and branches, and no sunlight.

The surrounding giant trees were dozens of meters tall, making them look especially small.

After riding for a while, he made the Dumb Unicorn stop.

Then, he brought Butterfly down.

“Recover your size.”

“Gurgle ~?”

It typed out a question mark, but it still changed into Butterfly Fairy’s original appearance.

Its butterfly wings trembled slightly as it floated in mid-air.

Su Hao looked at Butterfly, which was as tall as him, and took off the black Sprite Commandeering wristband he had just received.

Under Butterfly’s dull gaze, it wrapped it around its wrist.

“You’re already a mature sprite, you can try to be a Sprite Trainer now.”
