Chapter 126: Free Training

The assessment island.

Core area.

Because he evolved from a walking expert to a riding expert, Su Hao didn’t take much time to reach the center from the edge.

There were clearly a lot more intermediate and advanced entry-level sprites here.

Who were also threats to him.

After all…

Sprites weren’t stupid. They knew how to sneak attack and team up.

They also knew how to prioritize attacking the Sprite Trainers who were the weakest in the group.

Puff~

A huge fire ball flew towards him.

Without needing Su Hao’s instructions, the Water Unicorn Beast dodged with a “Neighhh”.

The hot fire ball flew past and hit an electric pole at the back, exploding into a ball of bright flames with sparks flying everywhere.

“Fortunately, I have a mount.”

There was no mount.

With his reflexes and speed, he could at most roll around like a donkey.

It dodged the frontal explosion.

But he couldn’t avoid the aftershock.

It would definitely consume a bit of soul power. As the saying goes, many little drops make an ocean. These consumptions could accumulate to cause danger easily.

Or…

They could only let their sprites stand in front.

The meat-shield sprites often didn’t protect those fragile sprites, but rather the more fragile Sprite Trainers.

The sprite that blasted out a fire ball was a Flaming Pig.

It wasn’t stupid.

He wanted to use the method of besieging the enemy to force Flaming Cloud Crow and Reverie Butterfly to retreat.

Giving itself more time to escape.

But…

It failed.

He only saw two pairs of angry eyes.

“Howl—”

Wails spread far and wide, scaring away the other nearby sprites.

A Flaming Pig was lying flat in the pit. Smoke was coming out from its body. Su Hao vaguely smelled the fragrance of roasted pigs.

“Gulp ~”

The other wild sprites observing in secret escaped even faster.

Reverie Butterfly flew back.

Suddenly…

It seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly shouted, “Gurgle, gurgle!”

The Water Unicorn Beast’s body moved before it’s brain could react, thanks to the daily training it had received.

It raised its hooves and dashed forward as fast as it could.

The next moment…

A tall and sturdy gray figure descended from the sky and punched the place where the Water Unicorn Beast was originally standing.

The ground cracked inch by inch. The cracks were like spiderwebs, densely packed.

Then, it suddenly shattered.

Countless gravel flew out.

Like stray bullets.

A few of them whooshed towards him, but were blocked by a huge translucent bubble.

The bubble dented slightly, then bounced the gravel out again.

— Water Unicorn Beast’s unique skill, Bubble Defense.

Su Hao looked back.

It was a Mountain Moving Ape!

Elite-level sprite!

Cunning ape!

It rushed out of a building nearby.

“Looks like I have to avoid entering areas with complicated terrain as much as possible.”

He felt that he had learned something again.

The Mountain Moving Ape landed on the ground and stretched out its fan-sized palm, grabbing at the tiny Reverie Butterfly.

Reverie Butterfly dodged slightly and threw out two Energy Balls at the same time.

The one that was hurled towards the Mountain Moving Ape’s face was blocked by its raised palm.

The other hit its chest.

Amidst the rumbling, the aftershock swept out in all directions, stirring up strong winds.

Even though the Mountain Moving Ape wasn’t seriously injured, it still staggered a few steps back due to the impact.

At this moment.

The Flaming Cloud Crow was not civil with it, taking the opportunity to display its unique skill.

Its black wings became as shiny as metal.

Waves of red light spread out again.

The final black feather spread out, its wings extended and turned sharp like blades.

Steel Wings+Flaming Feathers+Wing Attack…

Flaming Blade Slash!!

It slashed onto the Mountain Moving Ape’s right leg!

Its thick hair was cut open, and the flaming blade sank a third of its way into the thick thigh before it was washed away by the wild spiritual force in the Mountain Moving Ape’s body, causing it to lose its remaining strength and was dislodged there.

The Mountain Moving Ape roared.

Its huge fist was covered in a yellowish-brown glow.

Charging Fist!

Before the fist even landed, it produced a gush of wind that was strong enough to pierce through the wall.

But Flaming Cloud Crow was familiar with the battle style of retreating with one hit.

When the Flaming Blade was stuck, the black feathers that were spread out by the wings attack shattered with a bang, turning into the purest spiritual force particles.

This was called Flaming Crow Broken Feather!

It had already flown far away.

The impact punch landed, lifting up the already cracked ground, sending gravel flying everywhere, as dense as raindrops.

But the two sprites dodged with ease.

While dodging, Reverie Butterfly still had the energy to throw out Energy Balls one after another.

The Flaming Cloud Crow took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed the Mountain Moving Ape secretly.

All aimed at its fatal areas.

Two minutes later.

The injured and panting Mountain Moving Ape fell heavily to the ground.

It only consumed two sprites’ mid-level spiritual force.

They were far from using their trump cards.

The battle was about to end.

The abandoned streets had already been destroyed beyond recognition by the shock waves of the battle. The Water Unicorn Beast leaped and leaped, dodging the deep pits created by the Mountain Moving Ape as it approached forward.

“Elite-level destructive power is really…”

Su Hao found it very difficult to imagine what it would be like for extraordinary-level sprites and monarch-level sprites to fight at full force.

…

At three in the afternoon.

In a vast farm that did not seem to have any obstacles.

Su Hao counted the spoils of war badges. The three sprites ate jade powder to replenish their spiritual forces.

“There are three elite-level, 22 advanced-level, 36 intermediate-level, and primary-level… There’s no need to count them anymore.”

In the combat test, one advanced-level was equivalent to five intermediate-level, which was equivalent to 25 primary-level badge.

And defeating an advanced entry-level sprite was clearly easier than defeating 25 entry-level beginner sprites.

The difference between that and elite levels was even greater.

One was equivalent to 25 advanced-level badges.

“With these badges, I’m pretty much number one.”

The combat test was graded according to the ranking.

The first 60% was the passing mark.

The first place was full marks.

Su Hao had read the data of the Back Tower Dragon and the Cry Lightning Winged Dragon.

All of them were at the entry-level limit, and they had a lot of unique skills… The panel was an enhanced version of entry-level power.

“They also have the ability to defeat wild elites, but will definitely lose to mine.”

“Gurgle~”

Reverie Butterfly nodded.

So, can I rest now, coo?

It was very energetic.

Who told you to only drop badges and not money when killing monsters, gurgle ~!

“So, you can start training now.”

Reverie Butterfly: “???”

The Flaming Cloud Crow made a “squawk” in agreement.

Seeing the question marks in the eyes of the three sprites, Su Hao said earnestly,

“Think about it, when were there such good sparring partners in the past who could allow you to experiment unique skills without any qualms?

“For example, illusion…”

He looked at Reverie Butterfly. “Regardless of whether it’s five senses control or illusion sound, you can experiment with it at any time. You can do whatever you want, there’s no need to worry about making the experiment subject retarded.”

“Another example, saber techniques…”

He looked at the Flaming Cloud Crow and said, “Now, there’s a chance for you to fully experience the feeling of the saber slashing at different body parts, so that you can better figure out the Sure-Kill Saber Art.”

Finally, he looked at the Water Unicorn Beast.

Under the Water Unicorn Beast’s expectant gaze, it said, “You… forget it. Be a good mount.”

Water Unicorn Beast: “!!!”

It looked at the two seniors, Butterfly and Crow.

Reverie Butterfly was still doubtful.

The Flaming Cloud Crow was already flapping its wings, eager to try.

The Water Unicorn Beast fell silent.

It expressed its grievance.

But he didn’t dare to say it.

…

On the island, the battle was still ongoing.

Candidates who lacked battle experience and poor adaptability were in a sorry state.

Only a few battles later, the sprites were already injured, with their battle powers decreasing consistently.

Those with poorer luck and insufficient abilities were surrounded by wild sprites. They couldn’t escape, and their lives were in danger. They could only helplessly press the emergency button and choose to leave.

But there were also some who constantly searched for wild sprites to kill, their smiles gradually growing wider.

Bay Town.

Old Chen and the other teachers from the various schools were sitting in the hall, watching the surveillance footage.

The TV station also chose suitable footages from those transmitted to them by the examination hall to be broadcasted.

At this moment…

In the command center.

There were much fewer people now, but there were still a few big shots, Heavenly King Yan included, overseeing the whole examination hall.

As they watched the battles of those high school students, they couldn’t help but recall the past.

“Thinking back, when we first participated in combat with sprites, we were also the same age as them. Our performance may not necessarily be better than the young people now.”

“Shoo, shoo. Old Wu, you are the one who didn’t perform well. I’ve never panicked in battles.”

Heavenly King Yan, Xia Yanghua, smiled.

The tall and thin man called Old Wu snorted coldly.

This forced the other big shots to look up at the ceiling and pretend that they didn’t hear anything.

Suddenly…

Heavenly King Yan made a sound of surprise and immediately instructed the staff members sitting in front of the computer, “Zoom in on the image on A34.”
