Chapter 219: Battle of Top Students (Second Update)

Su Hao became famous again because of the appearance of the Bright Night Spirit’s form.

What was different from before was that he, Su Hao, was just an ordinary high school student back then.

Now… he was a university student.

A student from a prestigious university.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it was not surprising that a college student from a Sprite University discovered a new evolution form.

As a breaking news, it was far inferior to if it was achieved by ordinary high school students.

No one could interview Su Hao, who was at Whale Island University. Before the news even made it to the trending topics, it sank.

But in the eyes of the people in the industry…

The appearance of the Bright Night Spirit Form was much more sensational than the appearance of the Reverie Butterfly Form.

It was only slightly worse than the “spirit power solidification” paper.

The reason was very simple.

Reverie Butterfly was still a Wood-element sprite, just that it showed a little illusive tendencies.

As for Bright Night Spirit, it was a dual-element, a dual-element combination of the mutually repulsive attributes ‘light and darkness’!

Mutually repulsive attributes!

There were many records of dual-element sprites in the Union, but only one final evolved sprite possessed two mutually repulsive attributes, ‘Water and Fire’.

The appearance of the Bright Night Spirit Form represented a combination of new attributes.

It was the first sprite with the “light/dark” attribute at the same time!

In the eyes of the higher-ups, influence was no less than “spirit power solidification”.

In the beginning, Su Hao didn’t think too much.

He only saw two attributes and couldn’t help but evolve them.

He couldn’t say it out loud.

Since that morning, Su Hao had been busy with the thesis. After “discussing” with Master Yao, he published a simple paper—mainly introducing the form of the Bright Night Spirit.

He then flew back to the laboratory. On the way, he took three Light Balls from the watch area. Because he hadn’t completely “tamed” them, the batch of light-element sprites hadn’t been distributed to the various laboratories yet. Su Hao took a detour and specially took a few for recording data.

It took him more than two weeks to settle the evolution thesis of the Bright Night Spirit.

His gains weren’t small either.

Apart from the fixed rewards from the Union, he also received some manuscript copies.

— Some research on light-element and dark-element sprites by Sprite Cultivators.

— The concise lessons learnt from training methods of Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainers for light-element or dark-element sprites.

The former provided him with 19 Intelligence Points.

The latter gave Su Hao an idea… an idea to create the battle form of the Bright Night Spirit.

“Perhaps, if I have time, I have to go to Dragon City University to learn from that dark element Heavenly King.”

While Su Hao was busy with the thesis, he didn’t stop supervising the cultivation of the few sprites.

Several light and dark-element unique skills were unlocked.

With Butterfly’s one-on-one guidance, the Bright Night Spirit improved rapidly.

It was just that… the look of schizophrenia was becoming more and more obvious.

“Well, it’s not a big problem.”

After the Bright Night Spirit Evolution thesis was published, in the grand provincial guild building of Tiannan Province.

On the top floor.

Heavenly King Yan, Xia Yanghua, was looking at the information in his hands. On the information were Su Hao’s achievements and the evaluations of some masters.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have hesitated to take him in as my disciple back then!

“Forget it, forget it. Su Hao becoming the principal’s disciple is what’s most beneficial to him…”

Even Heavenly King Xia understood.

It was just a pity.

He never expected that back then, Su Hao, whom he had high hopes for, would create such a big commotion in less than a year.

He didn’t feel like a freshman at all!

The Tiannan Province Association was shocked.

Heavenly King Xia thought about it and called someone over.

It was a man with a solemn expression.

Heavenly King Xia looked at him and said, “Pass down the order, the level of protection of Su Hao’s family will be increased by another level.”

After returning to school, Su Hao’s daily life was very regular.

It was just that another event was inserted into the original schedule, which was to cultivate Bright Night Spirit.

The sprites improved very quickly. The most obvious was that he successfully passed the first round of the Illusion Challenge.

“Unfortunately, the enemy in the second round is in 1+9 mode.”

“One extraordinary-level, nine elite-level limit.”

The range was slightly larger.

Su Hao had tried that extraordinary battle power. It was even stronger than the Holy Brilliance Spirit King.

Having passed to the second round, the ranking of Su Hao in the Special Training Camp also rose up to 83rd place — since he had yet to start with any Special Training Camp missions, his total score was still lower than the rest who did.

He didn’t care much.

He had obtained longer duration of access to the opening of the Real Illusion and the number of times he comprehended the Profound Meaning Stone Tablet, because he sold the huge light elemental crystal.

— 1,000 hours, and 100 comprehension times.

It didn’t conflict with his monthly share at the special training camp.

Su Hao had enough for now.

The comprehension opportunities of the Profound Meaning Stone Tablet were all used by Dazed Crow and the Big Fat Bear.

The Real Illusion became Butterfly’s research area.

The Bright Night Spirit was too weak and couldn’t use any of them.

Dumb Unicorn…

It would occasionally suffer in the real illusion… to train to be the one alive out of ten thousand soldiers in a battle.

Every sprite was improving.

Su Hao checked regularly.

“Butterfly has already reached the elite-level limit, but… it’s actually still a little off from the evolution conditions.”

Its various qualities, such as spiritual force, spirit power, perception, and so on had long been satisfied.

After all, it had eaten countless treasures and used the most perfect cultivation plan.

Only one thing…

Its attainments in illusion abilities weren’t enough.

Fairy Butterfly was a dual-element sprite with the ‘Wood / Illusion’ attribute. It needed sufficient ‘illusion ability’ to push it to birth new attributes.

And illusion abilities… were too illusionary.

At this moment…

The interface showed that the success rate of Butterfly’s evolution was 46%.

This was the first time Su Hao had seen the interface showing the success rate when deducing the evolution of sprites.

“Take it slower. After all, Butterfly has just reached the limit of elite-level. There’s still room for improvement in illusion…”

“I’ll consider evolution after some time without any progress.”

“If the evolution fails, although it can evolve again, it will still have to wait a while to make up for the loss during the failure… Try not to fail.”

Just as Butterfly and Dazed Crow were stuck at the bottleneck, something happened at the special training camp.

“What? The school team selection is starting soon?”

At the central battle hall in the special training camp area.

In the audience, Su Hao looked over.

The battlefield in front was as big as eight football fields. On both sides were two Sprite Trainers dozens of meters tall, like towers.

It was also jokingly called the Sprite Commandeering Towers.

Two figures could be seen on the Sprite Commandeering Towers.

On the field in front of them, there were each a sprite with extraordinary power.

Purple Lightning Wings!

Ice Emperor Tooth!

“One of them is a substitute member of the school team, ranked 8th in the special training camp.”

“The other person is ranked 12th in the special training camp, but the overall difference isn’t big.”

Jiang Xiuqi, who was standing beside Su Hao, said.

“Don’t think that he’s only a substitute if he wins, our Whale Island University’s substitutes can also have many chances to go on stage during the High School League…”

Su Hao understood all the reasons, but…

“The league should be after the final examination, right? Why is the selection starting now?”

“It’s for teamwork in the future. Of course, if someone improves greatly, they can still challenge the original team members and replace them.”

“It’s just that everyone is improving. It’s easier said than done.”

Jiang Xiuqi said, “With your ability, you should be able to become a member of the school team next year. Unfortunately, I’m already in my fourth year of university this year. I’m only left with the last High School League and can’t fight alongside you.”

“But in the New World, we still have a chance to fight together.”

As he spoke.

Su Hao looked at the battlefield.

Butterfly and the other sprites were also brought here by him to watch this rare battle between top students of Whale Island University.

It was an eye-opener.

Accumulate experience.

He stood together with Senior Jiang Xiuqi.

One was one of the strongest students in the whole school.

He was also a well-known figure in the school.

With a handsome face.

It immediately attracted the attention of many students from the special training camp.

“Is that the Bright Night Spirit? It’s indeed magical.”

“Su Hao is indeed impressive, especially in the research of evolution forms.”

“I heard that he’s already a high-level Sprite Cultivator. If it were me, I would definitely focus on being a Sprite Cultivator… Clearly, his talent in Sprite Cultivation is even higher.”

“Fortunately, he’s a little ordinary in Sprite Commandeering, so us ‘seniors’ barely have a way out.”

“Heh, it’s not necessarily a good thing to have a completely new form. He might not be able to figure out the final evolved form. In that case, the sprite will only be stuck at elite level its whole life.”

Many people discussed softly.

There was admiration and jealousy in their gazes as they looked at Su Hao.
