Chapter 237 - The Electric Bear’s Evolution Preparation (First Update)
Chapter 237: The Electric Bear’s Evolution Preparation (First Update)
The two Crown-level Sprites left one after another, making everyone on the city wall sigh in relief.
In the following period of time, the situation in the Whale Gate battle area was still tense.
Because of the successive appearance of Heavenly Kings and Crown-levels, they didn’t capture the Sprite Trainers of Demon Snake City at that time. They only killed one master-level, several elite-level, and several sprites.
Instead, they caught the traitor. It was said that he would be sent to the Sprite Court.
That wasn’t something Su Hao should be concerned about. He only cared about the injuries of Butterfly and the others.
None of them were serious.
They completely recovered that day, but Su Hao didn’t go onto the battlefield again. Instead, he stayed in Whale Gate to rest and study.
That was also the teacher’s suggestion.
With the personal guidance of his teachers’ sprites, the sprites improved rapidly.
The usage of unique skills, the control of elements, and so on were similar to monarch rank, but those two sprites, the twelve-winged Holy Brilliance Spirit and the Cabinet University Scholar, were indeed extraordinary.
Not only in terms of strength.
Both sprites were already dozens of years old. They were dozens of years old under the years of war. They were experienced, had strong teaching abilities, and were stronger than Senior Wu’s Trading Puppet…
Cough, why was he comparing them against the Trading Puppet again?
But other things aside, Trading Puppet’s Flying Carriage technology was pretty stable.
Among the five sprites, the ones with the most obvious improvements were Butterfly and Bright Night Spirit.
Their abilities were the most compatible with their teacher’s sprites.
Butterfly’s illusion control ability… especially the Illusion Butterfly tactics, had improved significantly. In its words, it just wasn’t that easy to let that red Snake-Headed Demon find its real body again.
Although…
Su Hao had never seen the red Snake-Headed Demon before.
The Bright Night Spirit could already quickly switch to a light / dark state against the environment.
At night, the time taken to switch from the dark side state to the light side state had already shortened from the original 5 to 6 seconds to less than a second now.
“Ew… Fufufu… Fufu… Ew… Ew…”
The long hair of the Bright Night Spirit turned from black to blazing white, then black in a second, and then white in a second…
The other thing that kept changing, included its personality.
It was quiet at times, and noisy at times.
“It’s time to take your medicine, fufu… Ah, no, no, no, no!”
Among the remaining ones, Dazed Crow, Big Fat Bear, and Dumb Unicorn had the slowest improvement. There was no need to mention them.
…
In the blink of an eye, the half-month battle period ended.
Su Hao left Whale Gate with the other new recruits and veterans. Dozens of Sprite Trainers were exchanged with them.
When he returned to school, he lived the boring and dull life of spending money on pets.
He spent credits.
Intelligence Points.
He observed the data of the few sprites from time to time and adjusted the cultivation strategy.
“In just two months, the Bright Night Spirit is about to reach the limit of entry-level, but its foundation is relatively ordinary, and it’s only a first-generation sprite. It should be stuck for a long time before it can break through… Well, it’ll be stuck for a month and a half.”
“Dumb Unicorn, the main condition for evolution is ‘bloodline concentration > 30%’, but right now, its bloodline concentration is only 24%… Since breaking through to elite-level to approaching the limit, it has only increased by 6%.”
It could be seen that the bloodline concentration was indeed very difficult to increase.
“From the looks of it, it needs to break through to the extraordinary-level first, then increase the concentration of its bloodline before it can satisfy the conditions for evolution.”
“But it’s only a horse right now, an evolved horse. To break through with just the capabilities of a horse…”
Su Hao found it very difficult.
As expected, it needed him, the Sprite Trainer, to give it a hand.
“And Big Fat Bear… Come here.”
“Howl ~ Howl?”
The Big Fat Bear in front of him had grown taller and fatter. Its fluffy hair was very beautiful, making one unable to resist at first glance…
He reached out and rubbed his smooth hair up and down.
It felt very comfortable to touch.
“Huh?”
“Don’t worry, I have to do a… checkup for you.”
Su Hao stroked the bear and performed a full-body physical examination on it.
He came to a conclusion:
“The increase in your basic qualities has slowed down.”
“Huh?”
“The amount of nutrition consumed every day is equivalent to the amount of cultivation needed to complete a mission, but your improvement is showing a downward curve.”
“Huh?”
Electric Bear hugged its head and shook its head, indicating that it didn’t understand and didn’t want to listen.
Su Hao could only sigh when he saw its appearance.
It looked like the Big Fat Bear didn’t have the potential to be cultivated into a Sprite Cultivator anymore.
“This also means that the potential of your form has pretty much been fully explored… You need to evolve!”
“Howl howl ~!”
It understood what he meant when he said that!
There was naturally a reason for letting the Electric Bear evolve instead of waiting until it reached the limit of elite-level before evolving.
Its increased speed had slowed down now. From advanced elite-level to elite-level limit, it might take two to three months, or even three to five months.
After a while.
It would be different after evolution. It could still improve rapidly.
The Big Fat Bear was also a second-generation sprite, the descendant of a monarch. In the future, the difficulty of breaking through to the extraordinary-level would be far less than Butterfly, Dazed Crow, and the others.
It wouldn’t take long.
After a comprehensive calculation, Su Hao planned to start preparing for the evolution requirements of the Electric Bear.
The materials it needed weren’t special. A minimum of 200 credits was enough, and if it was more, it would only cost up to 500 credits.
Cheap!
“But last semester, I remember Panda Elder mentioning that when the Big Fat Bear can evolve into its final form, it’s best to evolve at Bear King Mountain.”
“It should be able to gain some benefits by evolving there.”
Did Su Hao need to hesitate? Of course he chose to take a break.
He planned to set off tomorrow, but he suddenly remembered something important.
— School team team battle practice.
It had been almost a month since the last time.
The name list had long been filled in the wristband. He opened it and took a look. “In three days? Then, the evolution shall be delayed for a few days.”
…
Three days later.
Su Hao brought Butterfly to the simulation battlefield at the back of the special training area.
There weren’t many people. Apart from the ten people in the school team, there were only twenty to thirty spectators.
After all, a simulation team battle wasn’t as exciting as a battle. The people who came should have…
As he was thinking, suddenly, an instructor told him.
“You’ve been singled out for a challenge.”
“Me?”
He turned.
He saw a person and a sprite walking over slowly.
Su Hao found that person a little familiar, but he didn’t remember him very clearly… However, when he saw the sprite with a humanoid body and a leaf robe, he remembered.
“So it’s you, Senior Zhou.”
…
It was still the empty field during the team battle.
It was still Butterfly Fairy and Young Master Cattail, looking at each other from hundreds of meters away.
But after a month of not seeing him, there was some change in Young Master Cattail’s aura. It was like an unsheathed sword, revealing its sharpness.
“Battle… begin!”
As soon as Instructor Ma finished speaking, white dandelions immediately flew out around Young Master Cattail.
Unlike last time, it clearly didn’t dare to continue competing with Butterfly Fairy in terms of strength reserves. Instead, it connected all the dandelions and formed a long white dandelion dragon.
“With the superimposition of unique skills, I’ll fuse all the dandelions into one whole. That way, even if Butterfly Fairy uses the Illusion Butterfly to clash, that gush of spirit power will be dissipated by most of the dandelions.”
“My number of dandelions won’t decrease for the time being. As long as I find Butterfly Fairy’s true body before the dandelion dragon exhausts half of its power, I’ll be able to get my victory back!”
“I won’t be careless anymore!”
He stared fixedly at Butterfly Fairy’s figure.
The exquisite and beautiful sprite remained where it was, motionless, allowing the white dragon to swallow it.
“No, no!”
The white dragon raised its head and waved its tail, shaking the air around it. It rumbled, but the green figure didn’t appear.
Suddenly…
The alertness from the contract connection made Zhou Mingze suddenly shocked. He saw that Young Master Cattail was actually standing rooted to the ground.
The long white dragon also floated in the air.
After a while…
The long white dragon dispersed inch by inch. Countless white dandelions danced and scattered in all directions.
As for the frozen Young Master Cattail, no matter what Sprite Commandeering method Zhou Mingze used, he couldn’t wake it up.
He gritted his teeth and used “Sprite Commandeering: Visual Sharing”. Instantly, the scene in front of him changed.
He… Young Master Cattail was in a coffin. Its whole body was bound by red bandages. Outside the coffin was endless darkness. The darkness kept spinning. With just one look, he felt dizzy, as if he was going to be swallowed by the darkness. The “Sprite Commandeering: Visual Sharing” was forcefully broken, and even Zhou Mingze’s body shook.
In just two seconds.
Young Master Cattail collapsed with a plop.
Less than half a minute after the battle started, it had fallen straight down!
Both the ordinary members of the special training camp and the members of the school team drew a cold breath.
It was too scary!
A month’s worth of change completely crushed Young Master Cattail!
Su Hao caught the shrunken Butterfly and shook his head slightly.
“It has no counter illusion techniques, no stronger willpower than steel, and its spirit power is much weaker than Butterfly, then… being insta-killed is completely reasonable!”
Su Hao felt that the people around him were making too much of a fuss.
Sit down, no, just lie down.
