Start With Contracting Sprites Chapter 181 – The Last Question

Chapter 181: The Last Question

Dialectical Competition.

The representatives from the various schools sat in their seats.

The representatives from each school took turns to ask questions. The representatives from the other schools had a certain amount of time to think and answer.

In the end, the judges would issue points according to the students’ answers.

This was the situation in the past.

But now…

The team leader of a representative team stood up and asked,

“Our question is, if a Three-Tailed Fox has already evolved into an Ice Six Tails, is there any way to let it step into other evolution pathways, such as becoming a Sword Six Tails, Flaming Six Tails, etc.”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

This question was similar to asking if sprites could degenerate after evolution.

It was a difficult question of the century that Sprite Cultivators had been researching for a long time but still had no leads on.

If he asked here…

It could only be said that that high school possessed no reliable questions.

Representatives abstained one after another, indicating that they couldn’t answer.

The masters and specialists sitting in the guest seats — well-known high-level Sprite Cultivators, were often called specialists by others — but they couldn’t answer this question either.

They simply explained the relationship between evolution, genes, form, growth rates, and so on.

Su Hao received Intelligence Points+1.

“As expected, there’s basically no chance of getting points in the dialectical match. It’s impossible to surpass it.”

“But it’s pretty good to be able to more or less gain some Intelligence Points.”

Even if there was a chance to score, Su Hao felt that it wouldn’t be his turn.

He already had a clear understanding of his own standards.

In terms of scope and foundation, it was slightly inferior to high-level Sprite Cultivators.

He only had an advantage in a few aspects such as “sprite observation” and “partial attribute jade powder mix”.

At most, it was 50-50 against an ordinary high-level Sprite Cultivator.

It was far inferior to specialist Sprite Cultivators.

And in the dialectical competition, there were many strange questions that even masters couldn’t answer. What could he do?

He could only gain some Intelligence Points for free.

…

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, five questions had already been asked.

Four were similarly difficult questions of the century, but were quickly skipped.

Another question with a 5.5 difficulty score was answered by someone from Dragon City University’s team, and they scored 2 points.

Dragon City University, 40 points.

Whale Island University, 31 points.

The huge difference made Su Hao even more dreadful.

Just lie down and end it, getting the second place reward wasn’t that bad anymore.

He placed his hand on the table and listened to the questions raised by Yunhua University.

“Our research discovered that the Wood Mantis has a second evolution pathway. Its development direction is very likely completely different from the Killer Mantis.”

“What we want to ask now is, according to this genetic analysis map, which direction could the second pathway of the Wood Mantis possibly developing towards?”

The same time the team leader of Yunhua University asked the question, the sequence hidden in the Wood Mantis genes was shown on the big screen.

And some brief information.

Yunhua University wouldn’t disclose detailed and confidential information here.

But just this alone had already attracted the interest of the masters and experts present.

Looking at the information, they showed thoughtful looks.

Many sleepy students suddenly became energetic and looked up.

Su Hao also looked over.

Logically speaking, it was also very difficult for him to understand genetic analysis patterns, instructions, and so on.

Lin Xueguang, who was beside, barely understood. He frowned and kept thinking.

But Su Hao knew the answer.

Looking at it this way…

Whoa ~ There were still some mistakes in the analysis of data from Yunhua University.

He had a strange look on his face.

He didn’t know how to explain it.

“Junior Su Hao, do you have an idea?”

Lin Xueguang saw his expression. “Just say whatever you have in mind. As long as you can match a little, you can get 1 to 2 points.”

Su Hao said casually, “In the past, I did research about the Wood Mantis for a while…”

He touched his chin, thinking and organizing his words in his mind.

What should be said in order to make it seem reasonable and not reveal key information?

It was very difficult!

A moment later, he pressed the answer button.

“The second pathway of the Wood Mantis, according to… and… very likely not a purely physical attack type… I think that when it develops till the end, it may possess dual attributes…”

“According to my deduction, the other attribute that is most likely to appear is light, thought, or illusion. Its growth potential is undoubtedly higher than the first pathway…”

“Evolution conditions should also be set in terms of affinity and other aspects.”

But the difficult part actually laid in the materials.

Unorthodox.

Even so, many masters and experts still nodded slightly.

Su Hao took a look and felt that there was no need to add anything more.

The second evolution of the Wood Mantis pathway hadn’t been discovered yet. No one knew whether what he said was true or false.

The key was in his logic. He had to be able to convince the masters and experts present to let them feel that his deduction was feasible.

“Saying too much would in turn be unreasonable. I didn’t perform any concrete experiments on some details, and I don’t have a Wood Mantis Sprite, so I shouldn’t know.

“The pathway to Prayer Mantis. I still wanted to keep it for myself to write my research paper.”

That was why he wanted a personal laboratory.

Without a laboratory, he couldn’t adopt and research wild sprites.

Only by cultivating a Prayer Mantis and having sufficient experiment proof could he write a complete paper.

It wasn’t like back then when he could only write a ‘crude’ paper due to the restrictions.

…

Most of the judges agreed with Su Hao’s answer, and they all gave him pretty high marks.

In the end…

“9.5 marks, impressive, Junior Su!”

Lin Xueguang exclaimed.

Originally, they were 9 marks lower than Dragon City University, a gap that was almost impossible to catch up to, but Su Hao successfully overtook them with just a few words.

They were surprised.

The members of Dragon City University were shocked.

The masters and experts on the stage were even quietly asking about Su Hao’s identity.

Whale Island University?

I’ve never heard of such a genius?

The contest continued.

From the morning to the afternoon.

Dragon City University got another 1.2 points, but Lin Xueguang also got one point on a certain issue.

Finally, the time was up.

The only one that hadn’t raised any questions was Dragon City University.

But they couldn’t answer their school’s questions.

“We won!!”

The freckled girl, the lanky boy, the chubby girl, and the other students were all overjoyed.

Won lying down? Winning lying down was also winning!

In the future, they could proudly say that Whale Island University won the championship in the batch they participated in!

That was awesome when written on their resume!

Li Hongzhuo, the team leader of Dragon City University, was a little disappointed, but he still asked the question they had prepared.

“Our question is, if a sprite’s spiritual force can be solidified, then… can spirit power that can be released be solidified?”

More than a decade ago, the team from Dragon City University discovered a way to solidify spiritual force.

From then on, Dragon Nation’s use of spiritual force became even more advanced.

And today, they were researching the solidification of spirit power. If they succeeded, the significance would be similarly great.

But spirit power was more elusive than spiritual force, so their research progress was slow.

They needed to find inspiration and breakthrough points from other Sprite Cultivators.

Su Hao looked at the Fairy Snail on the field.

Tiny beads flew out of the screws.

It made crisp sounds when it landed on the ground.

Like glass beads.

It wasn’t water turning into ice, but the purest spiritual force pearl after solidification.

“It can be used as a storage device to store spiritual force that is usually not used. When the battle starts, it can then extract spiritual force to replenish itself…”

That was the most basic usage.

But the difficulty of mastering it was also very high. Extraordinary level was the basic requirement.

Solidifying spirit power? That was even harder.

Even the spirit power training method of Dragon Nation was very simple and crude in itself.

Many sprites’ spirit power still increased naturally on their own.

“Unless one is as gifted as Butterfly and has a unique Sprite Trainer like myself, even if they research solidification methods, most sprites would find it difficult to master them.”

He thought, and listened to the discussions of the masters and experts.

Suddenly, he opened the interface, and his gaze landed on a certain line on it. He was stunned on the spot.
