Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 362: The Grand Event of the Sprite Cultivator World

“Since you’ve already decided…”

The deputy minister thought about it and said, “Then go and study it. With your current status as an intern inspector, many top-level research equipment can also be applied for… However, don’t neglect the cultivation of sprites. Your own strength is the foundation of everything. I hope that one day, you can become a Crown Sprite Trainer, and not just stop at Heavenly King level.”

This expectation was not low at all!

This was because there was no clear path between Heavenly King and Crown. The existing Crowns existed only because they were sufficiently outstanding and had successfully broken through by chance.

Everyone had different ways of breaking through.

No one dared to say that he or she knew exactly how to break through to the Crown-level.

Even if it was at the top of the Heavenly King level, those big bosses wouldn’t dare to say that they were close to reaching Crown-level.

After the advice, the deputy minister said, “At the end of the year, there’s a top-level seminar in your Sprite Cultivation World. Since you want to study advanced evolution, you might be able to find inspiration there…”

These words indeed made Su Hao’s eyes light up.

Such a meeting of big bosses could indeed bring him a lot of “inspiration”, just like the solidification of his mental strength in the past.

He had a lot of Intelligence Points now, but he had to have a ‘clue’ that could consume Intelligence Points!

…

On the way back to his residence, Su Hao sat on the soft cloud summoned by the Dumb Unicorn. On the side, he checked on his wristband for information regarding the year-end seminar.

It was in November!

Invitations were sent out to the Sprite Cultivator big shots in the entire Union. It could be said to be a top-notch grand event in the Sprite Cultivation World… The reason why Su Hao didn’t hear about it earlier was because his level wasn’t high enough, and he had been busy with the Supernova Cup recently, so he had almost no contact with the Sprite Cultivator circle.

“Erm… But right now, with my status as a high-level Sprite Cultivator, I’m indeed not yet qualified to participate in this seminar.”

He had once made a name for himself in Dragon Nation’s Sprite Cultivation World after publishing his research paper on “spiritual power solidification”. He wasn’t just any ordinary high-level Sprite Cultivator.

He could be considered as a Specialist Sprite Cultivator. There were also many well-known programs that had sent him invitations—back when he was still popular, it was all in the past now.

At that time, he was busy. He didn’t want to be famous, nor did he take a fancy to it. So he rejected the ‘invitation fee’ offered by those well-known programs.

“But even as a Specialist Sprite Cultivator renowned both in the Dragon Nation and abroad, I’m still not qualified enough to enter the seminar… You would have to at least be a Master Sprite Cultivator to get invited!”

It was a gathering of real big bosses and academic exchanges.

Many research ideas also burst out during the collision of thoughts.

“Every master certified by the Union has three to five slots in their hands… If other Sprite Cultivators want to go, they either have to be the master’s favorite disciple, or they can only ‘buy’ a slot at a high price.”

However, Su Hao had connections with more than a dozen Master Sprite Cultivators. It wasn’t difficult for him to get a slot if he wanted to.

However…

“As an intern inspector, I am actually already qualified to enter these top-notch gatherings freely in the first place. I’m in love with this job.”

“Well, besides, it’s only the beginning of May now. There are still a few months left. During this period of time, I’ll work harder on my research paper and work hard to raise my level to master. It doesn’t seem… very difficult?”

Su Hao wasn’t saying these things out loud.

If someone happened to hear him, he might get beaten up by someone while walking on the road.

As he checked, the phone screen in his pocket lit up. Even though he had already switched on silent mode out of habit, he still sensed it at the first moment with his sharp senses.

“Hey, Senior Wu…”

“…Okay, okay, no problem.”

Over the phone, Senior Wu asked about the situation during the Supernova Cup and the Inspector test. He also asked if there was anything he needed help with.

He kept hinting at Su Hao to return to school if there wasn’t anything important going on.

There was also the identity of a school instructor that he wanted to arrange for him.

“The recruitment of team members will take some time. Perfect, I don’t have anything to do recently, so I can just go back to Whale Island University… I can write my research paper anywhere anyway.”

“The school isn’t far from the laboratory too. With Dumb Unicorn’s current speed, it’ll only take an hour to fly there.”

…

As intern inspector, Su Hao didn’t have a fixed office area. He could go anywhere he wanted.

On the other hand, in the City of Glow, he now had a high-level mansion… the kind with a private cultivation field.

Su Hao thought it would be a waste if he didn’t use it, so he asked Butterfly and the other little guys, “Is there anyone who wants to stay and cultivate?”

However…

Butterfly flew over his head and occupied the throne, not bothering to answer.

Ah Yan was a geek. It kept shaking his head, indicating that it wasn’t willing to stay.

The Big Fat Bear and the Eternal Night Glory Concubine weren’t cultivation maniacs either.

Dazed Crow…

“Squawk~!”

Seeing it shake its head, Su Hao was a little surprised. “Don’t you like to cultivate the most?”

“Squawk ~!” It flapped its wings, producing a bright flash.

“Oh…”

Crow expressed that what it liked was battles, and only by following Su Hao would there be exciting battles to fight…

Wait a minute, what did it mean that it would have thrilling battles just by following him around?

In Crow’s eyes, was he just a tool for it to get battles?

Sure!

The next time there’s a strong enemy, you’ll be a… a cheerleader!

The Dazed Crow shuddered. It kept feeling that something bad was about to happen to it.

“Neigh ~?”

The Dumb Unicorn ran over and rubbed its head against his elbow.

Su Hao flipped his hand… He stood on tiptoe and patted its neck. “It’s none of your business. You can’t stay even if you want to.”

Neighhh?

This horse never intended to stay, but, but…

How could you bully me ~!

The Dumb Unicorn drooped its head. When it heard Su Hao calling it from afar, it immediately ran over and called out a 10×10 sky-blue cloud. It carried Su Hao and the others and slowly took off. It lined up along the special flight route in the City of Glow until it flew out of the city. Then, it suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the horizon with a whoosh.

…

On the campus of Whale Island University, things were still the same as before. It was still rare to see people or sprites walking on the road. Su Hao could only occasionally see one or two juniors who had received cleaning missions. They were instructing their sprites and working meticulously.

It only became slightly more lively when he reached the dormitory area, but everyone was still doing their own thing. Even after four years, many students only knew a few of their classmates.

Su Hao was the same.

In the whole school, Su Hao only knew Mr. Bai, Feng Liangcai, and Senior Nan and Lin, who were substitutes for the school team.

“Right, regarding the school team, what’s the situation now? The High School League is coming soon, right?”

He had forgotten that there was such a thing. Senior Wu and the instructors in the school didn’t seem to have mentioned it to him either.

What is going on?

“Oh right, you were too busy back then and I also forgot to tell you…”
