Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 276: Don’t Be Cowardly, Just Do It

In just a moment…

The sprite of the Dragon Nation Sprite Trainer on the right… defeated the sprite from Peacock Nation on the left.

“Dragon Nation’s Sprite Trainer wins.”

He looked at it for a while and finally understood.

The battle in front of him was… to fight for a slot!

Whoever entered earlier or slower, whichever nation had the first batch of Sprite Trainers… would have an advantage when competing for the opportunities in the ruins!

But everyone was a part of the Union, and they were all civilized people. Then, they would use the method of a civilized Sprite Trainer to solve the problem.

There was nothing that couldn’t be done with one battle. If there was, then there would be two.

In front of him was a battle with “one person, one sprite”. The results of the battle would determine the nation’s slots.

After the first round ended, the next round started shortly after.

He saw that Mentor Ma had also gone on stage. He used a Cloud Water Dragon Horse to defeat the opponent in two to three moves.

As expected of a first-level instructor at Dragon City University.

Dragon Nation won seven out of the first ten rounds, which made Senior Jiang and the others very excited.

But gradually…

“Damn it!”

“Not good. The top experts from Peacock Nation and the other countries are inferior to us, but there are actually more top-level experts than us!”

“There’s no other way, they have too many people!”

In terms of individual national Sprite Trainers, Dragon Nation was naturally the largest, but the three strong countries, Peacock Nation, and Korean Nation, had already joined forces to compete for more say in the exploration of the ruins.

At this moment, a Korean Sprite Trainer strode forward and looked towards the crowd from the Dragon Nation with his chin raised. “Who in your Dragon Nation dares to battle me-simida[1]!”

…

This round, it was the Sprite Trainers from “Simida” Nation who attacked first.

He called for a sprite, a python more than 20 meters long with lightning patterns all over its body. It slowly swam onto the field and breathed lightning.

“That person is called Park Youtian. His Thunder Cloud Python is very strong, there’s…”

A young man recognized the Sprite Trainer opposite him.

Many people discussed in low voices and shook their heads.

Seeing this scene, Su Hao knew clearly that the surrounding master-level players weren’t very confident.

As long as there was a 40-50% chance, someone would step forward, but if the chance was too low, they wouldn’t dare to fight. That wasn’t a matter of whether they had the courage, but… they were afraid that they would give it up for nothing.

The Dragon Nation Sprite Trainers present were actually more “polarized”. The stronger ones were Master-level, high-level, and quasi Heavenly King-level.

The weak ones were the relatively young masters.

It couldn’t be helped. Although the number and strength of the Dragon Nation’s Sprite Trainers far exceeded the three countries of the Korean Nation, there were also much more territories and cities that needed to be stationed.

Many Sprite Trainers had important positions. Most of the people who came here today were young masters who were on holiday and happened to have time.

The accumulation of sprites was slightly lacking.

For example, Wang Qi, Jiang Xiuqi, and the others were among the best among their peers, but among master-level Sprite Trainers, they were very ordinary.

“But the Thunder Cloud Python on the other side isn’t that strong either. It isn’t completely hopeless.”

He patted Jiang Xiuqi’s shoulder and said, “Senior, don’t be a coward. F*ck it head-on. Whether we can get a spot for our Dragon Nation depends on you.”

“Ah, me?”

Jiang Xiuqi, who had just entered the first year of the Master level, didn’t have much confidence.

Su Hao guided him patiently. “Senior, think about it. During the league, the Goat Horn Immortal was already not weak. After the tournament, it also absorbed a treasure. It’s equivalent to cultivating for half a year and a year. Right now, its strength has already improved greatly.”

Jiang Xiuqi nodded slightly.

“Goat Horn Immortal has a slight advantage in attributes and battle methods against the Thunder Cloud Python.”

Jiang Xiuqi thought about it and nodded.

“That Thundercloud Python has more accumulation, but it also has its weaknesses…”

Su Hao pretended to observe for a while and proposed tactical guidance targetedly.

As long as this was the case, then…

As expected, the light in Senior Jiang’s eyes became much more confident.

…

“Ten-Thousand Wood Formation!”

On the field, vines and trees broke out of the ground. In the blink of an eye, the whole field became a forest of vines and trees.

The Goat Horn Immortal was professional at planting trees.

In Vine Wood Forest, the Thunder Cloud Python released endless lightning. With a sweep of its tail, large amounts of vines broke and flew out.

However, it relied on its physical strength. The damage caused by the lightning to the Vine Wood wasn’t that great—it was all absorbed and directed to the ground.

“As I expected, that Thundercloud Python’s physical body is weak. Most of its strength comes from thunder. At the start, it didn’t use a sharp and lethal unique skill. Instead, it planned to set up a lightning field… From then on, it had already lost more than half of the battle.”

Senior Wang Qi, Senior Qin Ya, and the others didn’t quite understand. They only felt that it was very impressive.

With just one look, he saw the operation on the opposite side clearly.

Su Hao glanced at the interface.

As his horizons improved and his knowledge reserves became richer, the information on sprites shown on the interface indeed… became more detailed.

Before the battle, he had already seen the cultivation and battle system of the Thundercloud Python.

“As expected, as expected of me.”

The battle lasted for seven to eight minutes. The vines and woods were continuously destroyed and produced, trapping the Thundercloud Python tightly.

Then, it used unique skills such as Parasite Vine and hypnotizing pollen to exhaust the Thunder Cloud Python until it lost its battle power.

The Goat Horn Immortal won with weak spiritual force residue.

“Junior is awesome!” Senior Jiang, who returned victorious, shouted.

It was the Dragon Nation Sprite Trainers’ turn to attack in the next round.

As expected, they lost.

Su Hao had no choice. He couldn’t send a voice transmission to the contestants during the battle, right?

“Hmm, sound transmission?”

He seemed to have an idea.

At this moment, it was the other party’s turn to attack again. The one on the field was a Sprite Trainer from the Japanese Nation. He summoned a Metal Tyrannosaurus.

It was five to six meters tall, with two thick hind legs. Its whole body seemed to be made of metal, glistening under the sunlight.

But Su Hao frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xiuqi asked.

Su Hao said, “This Metal Tyrannosaurus is stronger than the Thunder Cloud Python just now.”

It was not just a little stronger.

He originally wanted to let Senior Wang Qi’s Red Flame Qiong Qi fight, but he made a rough guess and thought that the chances of winning were too low.

The difference between the two sprites was too big. The difference could no longer be gapped by some minor elemental advantage and tactical guidance.

“Why don’t I go myself and send out the Dazed Crow?”

He thought for a moment. “That won’t do either. There’s still a gap between a Dazed Crow and a truly powerful extraordinary-level sprite.”

“I’ll do it.”

At this moment, a quiet voice came from the back of the crowd.

The voice was slightly familiar. Su Hao turned around and saw a girl with long straight hair rushing over from afar on a Storm God Hound.

The girl also recognized them as students from Whale Island University and nodded slightly.

On the other hand, the Storm God Hound she was sitting on suddenly stopped when it passed by Su Hao’s side and let out two extremely fierce growls.

It seemed like it was still holding a grudge against him due to the league back then.

The big white dog sniffed, and its eyes gradually glanced at Butterfly Xiao Die who was lying on someone’s head… It smelled a familiar scent.

This dog would never forget this smell, woof!

It remembers the dirty tricks played on him, woof!

It remembers how it was defeated so badly, woof!

Although the big white dog felt wronged, under the urging of its Sprite Trainer, it still stepped forward.

Suddenly…

A scene unfolded in its mind.

It was the three-dimensional figure of the metal Tyrannosaurus opposite.

Combat methods, weaknesses, possibly mastered unique skills, best response methods, etc…

It was as if a voice was instilling everything into its mind.

The big white dog shook its head.

Wow, what a nice trick, woof!
