“Old Ghost Wu, why are you here?”
Sitting on the sofa, a man with hair so high it looked like flames said, “It’s so rare to see you on Bear King Mountain.”
Heavenly King Wu snorted. “You left your school’s Fiery Bird and didn’t go back, but came to Bear King Mountain. Why can’t I come!”
Then, he turned to look at Su Hao and said, “That old ghost’s surname is Lu. He’s a professor at Fiery Bird University.”
Su Hao had heard Heavenly King Wu mention it before.
On the opposite side of the New World entrance controlled by Fiery Bird University was a huge Redwood Forest. There were many Puerile Turkey, Turkey, and Fiery Bird type sprites there.
The environment of Redwood Forest was very suitable to birth Puerile Turkeys, but unlike Bear King Mountain, Fiery Bird tribes don’t have any thousand-year-old monsters. Fiery Bird University had very high control over its nest.
This was the only way to continuously provide students with Puerile Turkey contracts.
Of course…
There were limited slots.
The contract still required both parties to agree.
“Old Ghost Lu, don’t tell me you can’t get the contract slot for Puerile Turkey?”
“Heh, I was just about to find a hand-to-hand-fighting type sprite for my student, meanwhile you, actually agreed to let your student contract a bear-type sprite. Seems like you also know that your wood-element skills aren’t good enough.”
“Hehehehe…” Heavenly King Wu wasn’t angry at all. He even wanted to laugh.
He patted Su Hao’s shoulder and said to Heavenly King Lu, “You’re wrong. This isn’t my student, but my… junior.”
He raised his eyebrows.
In terms of seniority, he was one generation higher than Old Ghost Lu’s disciple.
Heavenly King Wu lowered his voice again and said,
“Compared to Old Ghost Lu’s disciple, I really want to see his expression when the time comes.”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
Of course, he didn’t say anything.
He was the principal’s disciple, but Su Hao still had some idea.
Looking around, apart from juniors like him, everyone else in the living room was a big boss.
They were either Heavenly Kings or soon-to-be Heavenly Kings. At the very least, they were well-known figures among master-levels.
Many gazes turned towards him.
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
I clearly wanted to keep a low profile, but why can’t I hide my brilliance!
...
Some of the big bosses chatted while others had their rest.
Su Hao and the other juniors were still a little reserved—mainly because they had nothing to say. They kept drinking tea until they almost threw up.
Well… There was also another reason. When he heard the big bosses exposing one another’s dark histories, he felt that if he continued to stay here, his life would be in danger.
Heavenly King Lu waved his hand and said to his student, “Go do whatever you want. We have to wait for the supplies to arrive before going to Bear King Mountain. We still have to wait.”
Heavenly King Lu’s student felt a huge weight lifted off his chest… After bidding farewell to the big bosses in the living room, he walked out.
Su Hao also took the opportunity to slip out and stroll around the fortress with the three sprites.
“A canteen, a shop selling daily necessities, and a shop selling sprite supplies… There’s nothing else.”
At this moment.
Someone walked towards him and stopped in front of him.
Their eyes met.
“My name is Wu Hang, a freshman at Fiery Bird University.”
“Su Hao, a freshman at Whale Island University.”
“I heard that you’re the disciple of Whale Island’s principal. Then… do you dare to fight?”
Su Hao shrugged. “Sure.”
The space inside the fortress wasn’t big.
But in the open space outside the fortress, there were empty battlefields.
Many venues were still bumpy and looked like they had been through a lot.
Su Hao and Wu Hang’s arrival also attracted the attention of several guards.
They stood on the city wall and whistled, indicating that they were judges.
Wu Hang, who was standing on the side of the battlefield, said, “The sprite I’m fighting is this Steel Bone Dragon Lizard!”
A huge lizard more than two meters long with a metallic luster crawled forward step by step.
Metal-element, rank 1 evolved, Steel Bone Dragon Lizard.
Su Hao looked at his three sprites.
Butterfly had a look of disdain.
It meant that it didn’t want to fight.
The Flaming Cloud Crow flapped its wings, as though it was testing its blades.
“It’s you, Water Unicorn Beast.”
Flaming Cloud Crow: “???”
Water Unicorn Beast: “(??????)??”
It stepped forward with its hooves. The horse and the lizard looked at each other.
A murderous atmosphere filled the air.
“Although most of the Water Unicorn Beast’s skill focus on running, it doesn’t mean that it’s weak.”
The Water Unicorn bloodline brought it defense, and the control power of its water-element unique skills far exceeded its relative, the Water Cloud Horse.
And now it is elite-level.
The Water Unicorn Beast could finally fight a real battle.
“Well… The Giant Tide Frog that was used to abuse Fatty Ren in the past can’t be counted.”
He thought.
He looked at the field.
“Steel Bone Dragon Lizard, completely metalized!”
Rings of metallic luster spread from the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard’s head to its tail. Its weight seemed to have increased significantly, its body sank slightly, and its claws sank into the soil.
The Water Unicorn Beast chose to test it first.
A few water arrows appeared in front of him and whooshed out.
Bang—
The water arrow was repelled, broken, turned into mist and dissipated in the air.
“It’s useless. After the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard is metalized, its defense is even stronger than a heavy tank, so… charge!”
The Steel Bone Dragon Lizard charged, raising a cloud of dust wherever it went.
“Jump up.”
The Water Unicorn Beast stepped onto the air.
Seeing this, Wu Hang was stunned, but he reacted quickly. “Energy Ball!”
The Steel Bone Dragon Lizard raised its head. A huge golden energy ball condensed in its mouth in an instant and shot out with a whoosh.
It passed through the afterimage left behind by the Water Unicorn Beast.
“Come down and use Water Trace Cloud Road.”
Su Hao spoke.
The Water Unicorn Beast landed on the ground and quickly sped forward.
Whether it was the Energy Ball, Golden Light Slash, or the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard’s close-combat attack, it easily dodged them all.
The Water Unicorn Beast, which used Cloud Steps, was extremely fast, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
And… the gradually spreading water paths under his feet.
Thick white mist drifted along the waterway.
Water Trace Cloud Road!
It was a unique skill that Su Hao had improvised after fusing Cloud Steps and Water Path!
It possessed very strong resistance abilities.
At this moment…
The Water Unicorn Beast didn’t hit the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard, but kept circling around it. In the blink of an eye, countless criss-crossing water marks appeared on the field.
The whole arena became wet. Mist filled the air, enveloping the two sprites.
Wu Hang was still calm.
He thought about it. “Calm down and prepare to counterattack at any moment.”
He then walked to the side of the field and looked at Su Hao. “No matter what, your Water Cloud Horse can’t break through my Steel Bone Dragon Lizard’s defense.”
Su Hao couldn’t deny it.
Looking ahead, one could only see shadows flashing in the thick fog.
Seeing that it was about time, he said, “Wave Treading, Charging.”
“Find the right direction, we’ll also charge!” Wu Hang immediately followed.
In the thick mist.
“Tap, tap, tap” sounds came along with the splashing of water waves.
The whole gush of white mist seemed to be stirred.
There was also a dazzling golden figure in the mist. It was the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard that had charged.
Bang!!!
There was a boom.
Strong wind swept out, and the whole thick fog became much thinner.
The next moment…
A figure flew backward and rolled a few rounds on the ground, its tail tearing the surface of the ground.
It was the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard.
At the same time…
The white mist gradually faded, and the Water Unicorn Beast’s figure appeared.
It stepped on the waves and stood two to three meters high in mid-air. Waves rolled under its feet, and the Charging Flows wrapped around its body were fading due to the exhaustion of its strength.
It raised its head and let out a “Neighhhh” sound.
It was announcing its victory.
It looked almost… unharmed!
“How is this possible!”
“Did it use the power of the waves and Charging to defeat my Steel Bone Dragon Lizard in terms of strength?”
Wu Hang instantly analyzed the reason. “But it can actually form waves two to three meters high in such a short period of time. Besides, the Water Cloud Horse is clearly not a defensive sprite, the impact should at least have injured it…”
He quickly ran towards the Steel Bone Dragon Lizard.
At this point, the Dragon Lizard, which was known for its defensive power after its metal transformation, had long become soft under the corrosion of the mist, and was no longer as hard as it used to be.
Under the collision, huge waves attacked, directly hitting its scales until they were full of indentations.
Although it hadn’t completely lost his combat ability, there wasn’t much point in continuing.
“I admit defeat.”
“But…” He looked up again.” The Steel Bone Dragon Lizard isn’t my strongest sprite. That is. Do you dare…”
Su Hao looked at the sprite hanging on the side of Wu Hang.
It was also a butterfly, but its wings had a fiery red pattern.
Flaming Phoenix Butterfly.
It was the final form sprite evolved from Candlelight Butterfly.
But...
The experience had been gained, Su Hao had no intention of letting the Water Unicorn Beast to continue to be tortured.
He shrugged. “Sorry, it’s…”
He pointed at the Water Unicorn Beast and said, “It’s a sprite that lowered the average battle power of my team.”
The Water Unicorn Beast, which had just returned from a great victory, slammed on its brakes, as if an arrow had pierced through its heart. “(⊙ ω ⊙ ‘???)”
At the same time, Wu Hang was also pierced.
He looked at Reverie Butterfly, which was playing with its cell phone, and the eager Flaming Cloud Crow, and his face was filled with astonishment.
