Chapter 381: Dark Society Killer, Sudden Assessment

In front of him, countless flame pillars spewed out. Every flame pillar contained extreme fire elements.

The long rivers of lava interweaved like fire dragons and finally gathered in the flowing lava pool at the core.

Even sprites who weren’t good at sensing could discover that this was a land full of treasure. The air here was filled with dense fire elemental particles, and there were many precious materials in sight.

But no one tried to pick the treasure up.

The ten applicants were not just ordinary master-level and were pretty well off financially. Of course, in the presence of the inspector, they weren’t going to randomly pick up the treasure on the ground.

It made Butterfly a little frustrated.

If you all act like this, how am I supposed to pick up the treasure?! These people are no good, they aren’t good with money at all, they are all unqualified, gurgle ~!

“There are definitely wild sprites in such a precious land. Let my sprite look around first…”

A tall woman spoke. Her sprite was a Burning-Eyed Fire Fox. Its long and narrow eyes were staring intently at the lava pool in the center. Its four claws were on the ground, and it was preparing to approach the sprite that had probed out of the pool.

But…

Before she could give the order, Su Hao waved his hand.

“No need to waste time, it’s just a small Lava Giant.”

As Su Han spoke, golden flames emerged from the Dazed Crow’s body and interweaved. Some of the flames covered its wings, turning into two golden battle sabers, while the other flames attached to its body, turning into a golden Flaming Feather Gown.

The next moment, the crow turned into a golden stream of light and pounced onto the lava pool, splashing countless sparks.

Weren’t they supposed to follow protocol and test out the waters first?

Wasn’t this a little too reckless?

Many people had the same thoughts, but just as their thoughts emerged…

Boom!

On the huge lava pool, a pillar of flames exploded into the sky, and a huge reddish-brown body flew out of the pillar.

“It’s a wild Lava Giant.”

This huge Lava Giant fell to the ground, its eyes filled with anger. It roared, and the next moment…

Crow’s figure appeared in front of the Lava Giant like lightning and slashed out golden light.

Boom!!

Golden waves of fire exploded, and the Lava Giant flew back more than a hundred meters, sinking into a shallow pool of lava. Blazing red liquid splashed, but this time, the Lava Giant couldn’t stand up again. It had already fainted, and its aura was like a candle in the wind.

“Let it faint now. I’ll deal with it when we leave.”

After the strongest Lava Giant was dealt with, Su Hao handed the other small Lava Monsters to the applicants who were eager to perform.

Very soon…

Su Hao started to set up the venue for the Dazed Crow’s Advancement.

“Are we preparing… an advanced ritual?”

“I see. The test the inspector gave us is to protect the advancement process of the Flaming Spiritcrow. After all, this place is in the wild and is known to be dangerous. Once the advancement ritual is disturbed, it’s very likely to fail at the last step…”

One of the applicants thought so, feeling that he had already grasped the assessment.

Under the control of Butterfly’s mental strength, the whole ritual venue was quickly set up.

The Dazed Crow took out the last advanced main ingredient, “Flaming Crown”. This was a crown-shaped treasure that could either be big or small. It was solidified by flames. At this moment, it was being held in the crow’s mouth. With a flick of its beak, “Flaming Crown” landed steadily on its head.

Instantly…

The entire crown was connected to the crow, and the flames and aura on the Dazed Crow changed slightly.

“Go, complete your transformation.”

“Squawk…”

The Dazed Crow flew out directly, its figure disappearing into the blazing lava pool.

The advancement ritual began.

…

When holding an advanced ritual in the dangerous wild, naturally, equipment that isolated energy dissipation couldn’t be brought along—it wasn’t impossible to bring such equipment along either. The Gan Kun in the Shadow could bring all kinds of cumbersome equipment, but with sophisticated equipment placed here, it could very easily be destroyed by the environment.

It was also troublesome to protect.

Su Hao decided not to bring it along. There was no need for him to prepare too much for the concentration of energy here. He already had plenty of natural energy here.

Very soon…

A commotion started coming from the huge lava pool. The hot lava surface spewed and countless flame pillars sprayed out. The flame pillars danced, interweaved, and entangled like fire dragons, gradually forming a huge fiery red light cocoon.

Half of it was exposed on the lava pool, while the other half was submerged under the hot lava.

Seizing the opportunity, Butterfly moved many supplementary materials and flew to the side of the huge red light cocoon.

The light on the supplementary materials dimmed visibly. The energy and spirituality contained in them were all being absorbed.

The aura in the lava pool also gradually rose.

Hot flames spread out in circles.

The dazzling light gradually released. The red light enveloped 100 meters, 200 meters, 500 meters, 800 meters…

This was the first time many people present had seen such a scene and such power.

They were secretly surprised.

The few people who had seen the advanced ritual before were even more surprised and bewildered… The scene at this moment seemed to be grander than what they had seen before.

It was very likely related to the strength of the sprites.

Was this the trump card of the top genius of the Union?

…

The advancement ritual continued. The aura of the Dazed Crow gradually rose. In its originally hostile aura, there was an additional domineering aura that pressed forward with indomitable will.

Sun Warrior, Unparalleled!

The terrifying energy brought by the Sun Advancement, combined with the Crow’s battle techniques and single-point attacks, definitely added up to more than the sum of its whole. This was the most suitable advancement for the Dazed Crow’s current development path.

At this moment, the red light had already reached a thousand meters away from the huge cocoon, and its power spread countless kilometers away.

It made many wild sprites in the Lava Fire Cave tremble, but it also attracted some extraordinary sprites to have a look.

Unfortunately…

Even angerous regions like the Lava Fire Cave didn’t have many wild extraordinary sprites either. It made the applicants who were eager to perform feel very helpless.

It was similar to how a group of graduate students would feel it if they were given an assessment with only high school difficulty.

What should we do?

They were thinking.

Su Hao was also thinking.

At this moment, the Dazed Crow’s advancement ritual was already on track. Su Hao planned to take some time out and give the applicants a challenge.

However, what kind of challenge could filter out the talents he wanted?

He thought.

Butterfly, who was sleeping on its head, still gurgled softly.

A scene unfolded in his mind.

Su Hao’s eyes lit up, and he coughed dryly. When the ten people looked over, he finally said,

“You should be wondering what the assessment is about. Now, I can tell you that the real assessment is about to begin.”

When they heard this…

The reflective surface of the young man’s glasses, which made him look like a geek, reflected a bit of light. A hint of seriousness and concentration appeared in the eyes of the cold-faced stoic young man. The short young man, the tall woman, the mixed-blood, were all excited as well. All the Sprite Trainers couldn’t help but be curious, excited, and expectant.

The inspector’s gaze was deep as he looked at the distant horizon. “Right now, in the Lava Fire Cave, there are Sprite Trainers from the Dark Society searching for our traces. The test I’m giving you is…”

“To deal with the powerful enemies from the Dark Society, let me see just how capable you are.”
