Start With Contracting Sprites Novel - Chapter 209
Chapter 209: Collective Training! Whale State City! (First Update)
At Whale Island University, Su Hao’s life was very regulated.
Every morning, he would wake up at 7:30 a.m., wash up, eat breakfast, and cultivate with his sprite.
On Mondays and Thursdays, he would practice with Flaming Spiritcrow.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, he crackled with the Electric Bear.
On Wednesday and Saturdays, he taught the Water Unicorn Beast how to escape from the bombardment of the thousands of Energy Balls.
Sunday… rest day.
Occasionally, he would discuss the development of the spiritual orb with Butterfly, or write down cultivation methods for new unique skills for it.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Su Hao had plenty of credits, so he cultivated sprites according to the top-level unlocked plans.
Butterfly and the others improved rapidly.
The Flaming Spiritcrow was the first to reach the limit of elite-level.
Butterfly didn’t evolve, so its development was a little slow. It was still a distance away from its limit.
The Electric Bear had excellent talent and had already accumulated to the mid-level elite-level. The range of its Thunder Control had also more than doubled.
Water Unicorn Beast…
It continued to develop.
“The Flaming Spiritcrow has already reached its limit, and the Flaming Crow Slash is also more or less cultivated. Its battle power can’t increase rapidly anymore. It’s also hard to say when the opportunity to break through to the extraordinary level can be found. It’ll probably be stuck for a long time.”
There was no standard model for how sprites could break through to extraordinary level.
He only knew that the better the cultivation, the higher the chance of a breakthrough.
If spiritual force was used as a measurement, the ordinary entry-level limit had a spiritual force value of approximately 1,000, while the elite-level limit was 10,000.
When an elite developed to its limit, it was almost impossible to break through if its spiritual force only reached 10,000 to over a little more than 10,000 points.
At this point, the spiritual force of the Flaming Spiritcrow, excluding quality, was quantified to be about 14,000.
It was much higher than an ordinary elite-level limit. The probability of it breaking through to the extraordinary level was not small.
Perhaps one day, when it had the opportunity to break through, with sufficient accumulation…
It would break through in an instant.
“If I arrange an advanced evolution for the Flaming Spiritcrow now, I can use the opportunity of evolution to directly break through to the extraordinary level…”
But doing so was inappropriate.
Firstly, advanced evolution was the first step for sprites to break through the racial restrictions. There were a lot of materials needed, and he might not be able to collect all of them in a short period of time.
The conditions for evolution were definitely extremely high. The current Flaming Spiritcrow might not satisfy those conditions.
Secondly, and most importantly.
The Flaming Spiritcrow had only evolved for a few months. The potential for its final evolution had yet to be excavated.
Evolving now was equivalent to wasting most of the Flaming Spiritcrow’s potential.
“Advancement is harder and harder each time, there must be a limit, so…”
After much consideration, Su Hao still felt that he had to develop step by step.
He couldn’t be impatient.
“It really takes too much time to nurture a sprite.”
…
Whale Island University students didn’t have leisure time during the winter break.
But the whole winter break passed in the blink of an eye.
“Ring…”
“Ring…”
“Ring…”
Early in the morning, the loud doorbell rang.
Su Hao was eating breakfast.
The Water Unicorn Beast had already flown out. The whole Dumb Unicorn stood upright and pressed the switch of the villa’s gate with its hooves.
With a beep, the villa door opened. Liu Ren’s pancake face appeared from behind the door.
“It’s you, Little Unicorn. Where’s your master?”
The Water Unicorn Beast maintained its posture of standing on its hind legs. It pointed at the dining room with its hooves and let out a “Neighhh” before running towards the villa with its four hooves.
…
The Liu Ren Su Hao saw was wearing a black and blue battle suit. It was a product of Whale Island University and was also jokingly known as a school uniform.
Apart from his battle suit, he also carried a black tactical backpack, which was full.
Su Hao suspected that it carried snacks.
When Liu Ren saw that Su Hao was still eating his breakfast slowly, he was a little anxious. “Today is the day our collective training starts. Don’t tell me you forgot.”
“I’ll be there at 9, it’s only 7:36am now.”
“The New World entrance is at the tail of Whale Island. It takes time to travel!”
“Twenty minutes is enough.”
“How can 20 minutes be enough? It’ll take more than 40 minutes for me to take the school’s tour bus from the dormitory district to the tail end of Whale Island. Besides, if I go late today, there may not even be additional transportation.”
“I’m talking about riding Dumb Unicorn. Twenty minutes is more than enough.”
“Neighhh~!” The Water Unicorn Beast raised its hooves, but then remembered that it couldn’t stick its leg out on the dining table, so it hurriedly put them down.
Liu Ren,”…”
Su Hao took into account the fact that Liu Ren ·didn’t have a good mount·. He quickly finished his breakfast, picked up the backpack that he had prepared last night, hung it on the Water Unicorn Beast, and called for the other sprites…
Set off!
…
Su Hao, Liu Ren, Gu Lingyao and Li Songting gathered at the intersection of the dormitory area.
After squatting for another ten minutes, they finally managed to board an automated campus bus that wasn’t full.
In the car, a dozen students carried anticipation for the training and took the school bus to the tail end of Whale Island.
“Hey, Su Hao, do you know what the collective training is generally like?”
Liu Ren said, then looked at Gu Lingyao and Li Songting. His pancake face was filled with the words “Come and ask me quickly”.
But Su Hao and the others were too familiar.
They didn’t speak.
Liu Ren held it in for two to three seconds before finally being unable to hold it in any longer. “I’m going to be long-winded with all of you. According to my intelligence, our entire collective training will last for two weeks.”
“During the collective training, it’s very likely that we’ll be thrown into a desolate and dangerous place. It’s different from our high school special training and college entrance examination. It’s impossible to have a make-up training, so… you’ve brought all the necessities, right?”
Liu Ren opened his backpack and pointed at the tents, sleeping bags, rain gear, lighters, small knives, cold medicine, flashlight, water bottles, cutlery, condiments, food, food, and other things inside.
Liu Ren had mentioned it in the group chat yesterday.
Li Songting and Gu Lingyao both brought a lot of things.
As for Su Hao himself…
Su Hao pouted. “Here, everything I brought is there.”
Five tactical backpacks were hung on the Water Unicorn Beast’s back.
Liu Ren shed tears of envy.
He wanted to too.
But he…
The Lava Dragon Turtle had to be summoned. He couldn’t put anything on the back of the Dragon Turtle, neither could he on the slippery Sea-Tide Frog King!
He was too miserable!
…
They drove forward along the main road of the campus. After dozens of minutes, they finally reached the end of the road.
Whale Island’s tail!
Looking over, one could see the blue sea beyond Whale Island.
At this point, some students who came early were already waiting there.
Su Hao also met many instructors.
And…
“Senior Wu!”
“Why? Are you curious that I’m here too?” Heavenly King Wu swept his thick hair and said, “After all, I’m one of the only few Heavenly Kings in the school. I have to monitor the collective training of the freshmen.”
“Even so, you have to be careful. No matter what you do or what you encounter, you have to be extra careful.”
Heavenly King Wu was in charge after all. He didn’t talk much with him and left.
More and more students gathered around. Liu Ren also summoned his Lava Dragon Turtle. When the size of the two-story building stood there, peng… the shadow casted down.
Finally, it was 9 a.m. sharp.
Heavenly King Wu, who was wearing a suit and tie, slowly flew into the sky. He stood in mid-air for more than ten seconds before he said, “Now, everyone, follow the teachers nearby and set off.”
…
The main road continued forward, and through a downward slope, they arrived at the underground tunnel.
The whole tunnel was wide enough to accommodate six cars moving side by side, and it was also more than ten meters tall. The light at the top illuminated the tunnel like it was daytime.
A long line walked through the tunnel, and noisy voices echoed within.
Gradually, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.
But on the right, there was a sign that forbade passage, and someone was guarding there.
The instructors led them towards the left tunnel and continued forward.
After walking for a few minutes, an empty underground space appeared in front of them.
The figures in the front of the long line disappeared one after another.
Finally…
Su Hao squinted his eyes for a moment before opening them again.
He discovered that his surroundings were no longer in the underground space with only the blazing white light, but… in a huge hall.
Sunlight shone.
In front, an instructor who had been stationed in the New World for a long time looked at them and spread his arms.
“Welcome to Whale State City.”
