Chapter 50: Outstanding Sprite Stream Students

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The buses stopped moving, and Su Hao alighted in a daze.

He slapped his cheeks, took in a breath of fresh air, and was finally awake.

“This is the Battle Preparation Village?”

The name of the village sounded weird. From what Su Hao could see, the place looked like a tourist village.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there was greenery everywhere.

It was said that there were special battle venues, training halls, cafeterias, and hotels in the village… Not to mention sightseeing spots!

After arriving at their destination, Su Hao and the others did not check-in into the hotel first, but headed toward the cafeteria to eat!

Everyone was hungry as they had set off at 8 o’clock in the morning and had been on the bus for nearly five hours.

Fortunately, be it accommodation or meals, all these had already been arranged by the schools, so they don’t have to worry about anything.

When he arrived at the hotel room, Su Hao put down the suitcase and laid on his bed.

On the bed beside him, was Liu Ren.

Su Hao wanted to give a bad review.

All along, the students each had a room to themselves during the Sprite Cultivator assessment. Why was this different now!?

As he laid down, Silkworm Baby, which had been sitting on top of his head, rolled to the front of the bed and slammed against the wall.

It wriggled a little. When it saw the suitcase beside the bed, it got up and jumped onto it.

It used its head to push but was unable to open the numeric lock.

When using its short legs to press, its vision was unfortunately blocked.

Neither could it attempt to destroy it through violent means or else that devil Su Hao would definitely confiscate its pocket money!

It thought for a while and spat out a white silk thread that was a palm’s length.

The thread became hardened like a skinny pencil, which it held in its mouth to move the dials of the numeric lock.

Within two clicks, the lock was opened.

Silkworm Baby called out to Little Fire Crow, which flew over quickly. It grabbed the zipper with its claws and flew around the suitcase, unzipping it. It then grabbed the upper half of the suitcase again with its claws and opened the whole suitcase completely.

“Gurgle~”

Silkworm Baby carefully dragged out the laptop. While biting onto it with its mouth, it shot a silk thread from its front legs onto the ceiling.

The spiritual force-powered silk thread contracted, lifting it up together with the laptop.

Silkworm Baby then shot a silk thread onto the wall next to the table. It used the two silk threads to pull and drag the laptop, carefully placing it on the table.

“Gurgle~”

Its mission was successfully completed.

Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow hid behind the laptop. They appeared a little sinister when illuminated by the light of the machine.

Not far away, a Little Charcoal Tortoise was shaking its head.

It felt like a new world had been opened.

Su Hao had a good nap. When he woke up, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

It couldn’t be helped, it was already past two when lunch was over.

It was definitely not because he was in a deep slumber!

As the joint examination was approaching, Su Hao did not arrange any training tasks for the two little fellows today.

Instead, he allowed them to have some fun so that they could fight harder tomorrow.

Su Hao pondered over the intel he had collected.

Primordial forest area, wild sprites, the other students… Not surprisingly, this is the “resist and survive” model.

Strategy was very important. It was impossible to charge in and confront everything head-on unless one’s sprite could demolish the entire battlefield.

As a Sprite Trainer that strategized and planned before taking action, Su Hao spent quite some time thinking.

“Let’s just be reckless.”

He leisurely made himself a cup of tea and began to enjoy the remaining half of the day.

Bang!

The door of the room opened, and Liu Ren’s big round face peered in.

“Su Hao, look what I’ve gotten!”

Su Hao glanced, raised his teacup, and continued sipping.

He refused to say anything.

After holding it for ten seconds, Chatterbox Liu couldn’t hold it anymore.

“Did you see this? This piece of paper in my hand contains intel on some of the most dangerous trainers in our generation.”

Su Hao showed some interest.

“Where did you get this intel?”

“By talking to students from various schools, do you expect them to keep it a secret?”

Were those students unethical?

Su Hao did not think so.

Liu Ren must have used his money to bribe them, or else he wouldn’t have been able to get some much information within an hour.

He looked over.

The handwriting on the paper was a little messy. Nevertheless, he was able to comprehend it. The paper contained a lot of information.

“Look at this, Liang Yuchen. He was a genius originally from An City but was pried away to Yunhua University Affiliated High School.

“His sprites are the Little Stone Elephant and the Glowing Firefly. Both sprites’ spiritual force is over 100. The stronger one, the Glowing Firefly, may have more than a 120… It is a powerful enemy!”

Liu Ren had a solemn expression.

After he was done talking, he looked at Su Hao and then at himself, saying dejectedly, “Well, at least, he’s a powerful enemy for me.

“There’s another, Jiang Zhe. He is the number one expert of Xingyuan High School and a very wealthy second-generation heir! His sprite is a Red Horn Bull!”

Su Hao saw that for Jiang Zhe, Liu Ren had collected a lot of information.

Clearly, he was treating him as a strong rival.

It might be that Jiang Zhe’s family was probably more wealthy than Richie Liu.

The Red Horn Bull was a Fire-Element Sprite, similar to Little Charcoal Tortoise. Moreover, its cultivation level was higher. No wonder Liu Ren was treating him as a strong rival.

“I’ll show you even more powerful trainers.”

Liu Ren flipped over the paper. There were two names written there.

Bing Ning, Lin Mingzheng.

“Old Su, I heard that these two are really sick, they are giants!

“For instance, Bing Ning is the heir of the country’s number one sect. Although she is not the only heir, you should understand what sects are…”

Of course, Su Hao had heard this before.

A sect was not simply about improving or creating one or two unique skills.

It needed to have a system, and its skills must have a unique style in combat, which could be passed down to the next generation. These were what made sects different.

Basically, these were created by Heavenly Kings or perfected by generations of Sprite Masters.

One could think of them as the equivalent of martial art sects during ancient times. But there were not so many rules in modern times. The heirs of the sect would still need to attend high school and college.

The sects would also have to work with the Union and local associations, and not keep to themselves.

Liu Ren added, “Her sect belongs to the ice-element type, and Bing Ning’s main force is an Ice-Element White Seal Sprite… This sprite is a symbol of someone with extraordinary luck!”

He was envious.

“How strong is Bing Ning’s White Seal? Not even her classmates know. However, she has another sprite, a Water-Element Little Seashell. That alone is already one of the strongest sprites in Yunhua First High.

“From her sprite configuration, it appears that she is not satisfied with only managing a sect, but wants to experiment and innovate. She is an ambitious woman!

“Old Su…”

Liu Ren wanted to continue but stopped and hesitated. After thinking about it, he said, “Our joint examination is about surviving. If you run into her, it’s better to stay away.”

He was simply being honest here.

Although Liu Ren’s intel on Bing Ning was very simple and crude, Su Hao already was feeling the pressure after hearing about her two sprites.

The development of Little Fire Crow was relatively slower compared to many top sprites.

Would Silkworm Baby be able to manage alone?

Su Hao was not sure.

He asked, “What about that Lin Mingzheng? What is his background?”
