Chapter 154: Sprites’ Shortcomings (Third Update Please Subscribe!)

“The two of you, follow me.”

Heavenly King Wu said to Su Hao and Yu Xiuxiu.

He brought them to the large training field behind the manor.

The whole training field was open-air, surrounded by a thick, grayish-white stone wall. There were pillars on the wall, inserted diagonally towards the training field.

He waved his hand, calling the Trading Puppet to come forward.

“Ask your respective sprites to use their unique skills against the Trading Puppet, so that I can understand your sprites’ current strength in detail.”

Yu Xiuxiu’s two sprites were the elite-level Killer Mantis and the entry level Leaf Blade Warrior.

In a low voice, she made her command, and the two sprites speedily leaped forward.

Traces of metallic luster appeared on Killer Mantis’s sickle, followed by circles of green light spinning in the air.

Its figure flashed as it slashed, slashing out six times in an instant.

The Leaf Blade Warrior’s attack was mediocre in comparison.

All the attacks landed on the invisible Psychic Shield in front of the Trading Puppet.

In the blink of an eye, it was absorbed, and not even a trace of aftershock dissipated.

Then, the two sprites started displaying other unique skills.

Heavenly King Wu finished watching and nodded slightly before shaking his head.

“Their attack strength is sufficient, but they lack other adaptive capabilities.”

“Secondly, the Killer Mantis’s attack caused too much of a commotion. Do you still remember how its sneak attack had failed during the challenge segment?”

“Thirdly, instead of slashing six times in a row, it’s better to combine all six slashes into one and unleash the strongest slash. Only then can the battle be set in stone.”

As he spoke, he pressed a few dots on the Sprite Commandeering wristband. “I’ve transmitted a profound meaning of ‘Tremor Blade’ to you. Study it well with your sprite.”

“Also, the suggestion I gave you for the third sprite is to contract a control-type sprite.”

Then, he looked at Su Hao. “Come on.”

Reverie Butterfly used Granule Machine Gun, Multiple Energy Balls, String Shot Cutting, Psychic Shock, Double Illusion Scenes, Five Senses Control, and so on.

Flaming Cloud Crow used Flaming Claw, Flaming Fist, Flaming Slash, and its final killing move to utilise the Instantaneous Hell Killing Array after entering Flaming Feather Form.

The light of its blade and the shadow of fire were like a dream.

As for the Water Unicorn Beast…

Emmmmmmm, it took Cloud Steps and displayed its unique skill of Treading Waves. A water path appeared behind it, water dragons roared around it.

It rushed up.

Bang!

It bounced back.

However, its power was comparable to Big Sister and Brother Crow.

Yu Xiuxiu, who didn’t have much of a presence, was stunned.

Three sprites… Well, apart from Water Cloud Horse, both the other two had a lot of killer moves!

In the challenge segment, these were not even shown at all!

He defeated the older students by only using strategy!

Too strong!

She peeked over and lowered her head again.

She stood there without much presence and quietly observed the few sprites.

After watching Su Hao’s sprite’s demonstration, Heavenly King Wu… looked very calm on the surface.

He had to be calm.

Otherwise, how could he maintain a dignified image as a senior, and showcase the knowledge and experiences of a Heavenly King?

Calm down.

He coughed dryly as his brain worked quickly.

He started with the simple Water Unicorn Beast.

“I can see that you are very right to nurture it as a mount. Of course, its battle power can also be strengthened… Well, I’ve transmitted a profound meaning of ‘Stacking Waves’ to you. Go back and take a look at it.”

He paused for a moment, giving himself more time to think, and then ‘calmly’ commented on the next sprite.

“Your Flaming Cloud Crow’s attack and speed are impeccable. It is also very familiar with the usage of Feather Substitute, and its life-saving abilities are strong, but of course… there are still some areas that are not perfect.”

“For example, its Flaming Feather Stance can be considered a semi-finished secret manual. It needs to be infused with suitable profound meanings.”

“I’ll provide you with the two profound meanings, ‘Burning Flame’ and ‘Flaming’, but you have to figure out which one is more compatible by yourself… Of course, I suggest you go to the library to look for some reference books. It takes time and opportunity to perfect a secret manual, there’s no need to rush.”

“Now onto your Reverie Butterfly…”

Heavenly King Wu paused.

Originally, he wanted to give pointers on the construction of the illusion.

After all, illusions were very much inherited and it was rather difficult for him to figure it out himself.

Who would have thought…

From the information reflected by the Trading Puppet, the illusive abilities and illusions of Reverie Butterfly were already very complete.

He couldn’t think of any shortcomings—after all, he wasn’t the Heavenly King of Illusion.

“Isn’t Little Su a student with an ordinary background? How did he construct the illusion in such detail?”

Heavenly King Wu analyzed rapidly and finally found the key point.

He said, “Your Reverie Butterfly is strong and has many methods, but it lacks real killer moves.”

Su Hao mused over this question.

Indeed.

The little rascal was very proficient in several illusion unique skills. When dealing with entry-level sprites, it could defeat them with a single look.

The spiritual force consumed was also very little.

However, against those of the same level… it was impossible to kill them in one hit. They require the basis for high-level illusion techniques.

Then, he heard Senior Wu say,

“Of course, actual combat is a team battle. Your problem isn’t serious, but you have to try your best to make up for it… There’s a unique skill called ‘Spiritual Explosion’ here. When sprites exert the influence of illusion, even if they break free, they can leave secret imprints in their minds.

“These imprints can deepen the influence of illusions, or they can explode in one go… It’s just that this unique skill is harder to learn.”

“Apart from that, I recommend your Reverie Butterfly to learn another move, ‘Spiritual Perception’. It can sense all life forms with spiritual force.

“In the wild, in the New World, scouting abilities are as important as life-saving abilities.”

Heavenly King Wu said a lot. Finally, he raised a question that he was more worried about.

“As a new form sprite, there’s no other way for your Reverie Butterfly to go, no reference items… You have to work hard and pay more attention to related information.”

…

The news of the principal’s disciple didn’t spread widely.

In the eyes of most students, Su Hao, who had caused a big commotion during the freshmen challenge segment, was Heavenly King Wu’s student.

That was already very impressive.

With a senior like Heavenly King Wu, apart from being able to get many unique skills and profound meanings for free, having someone to guide him, having a sparring partner, having… and so on, he was still an ordinary freshman, living an ordinary life.

Fighting for credits.

Having a headache over which classes to choose.

“The credits awarded for the challenge segment have already been distributed. Two thousand credits were said to be the highest reward… It was even fought for by Senior Wu.”

“In terms of the curriculum, Senior Wu recommended the elective course of Instructor Pang Zhilan’s ‘Illusion Ability Application’ and Instructor Sun Gaoang’s ‘Fire Arts’. As for the rest… I’ll look around a bit more.”

“What we’re coveting isn’t the credits, but knowledge and Intelligence Points!”

The official classes started on September 1st.

Su Hao glanced at the timetable.

Among the compulsory classes, there were several including “The Moral Cultivation and Legal Basics of Thought”, “The History of the Dragon Nation’s Sprite”, “Sprite and Philosophy”, “Details of the New World”, “Sprite Trainer Levels”, etc.

He didn’t have much time to learn.

But… he couldn’t escape.

At most, he could apply for an advanced assessment and be exempted after.

Of course… the first few compulsory classes were unavoidable and were the most important classes.

Su Hao understood.

Sprite Trainers were a group of people who had mastered super specific powers. If they didn’t strengthen ideological education and psychological counseling, in the case that any of them went crazy, their destructive power would be much greater than those who held guns.

So there were also very few social training classes.

It wasn’t that those with a bit of ability were qualified to start classes and teach.

He used the desktop computer provided by the villa to browse through the information.

Suddenly…

His cell phone vibrated, and the screen lit up. He saw Liu Ren’s crazy “What the f*ck, what the f*ck…”

“What the heck…”

He swiped the screen.

He opened the group of Four Little Heavenly Kings and saw…

Liu Ren: “What the f*ck, Songting was also accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly King of Martial Arts just now!!”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

What the f*ck!

What just happened?!
