Chapter 290: Legacy, Supernova Cup

What was the Medal of Honor? Was it edible?
As if seeing through his doubts, the NPC official smiled and said, “Mr. Su Hao, don’t underestimate the Medal of Honor. This is a symbol of battle results. It’s only awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions on the battlefield.”
“On the trip, you risked your life to lure away a Heavenly King-level enemy. You contributed greatly and it was also a difficult task. The higher-ups discussed it for a long time before deciding to give it to you.”
Contributed greatly…
Thinking about it carefully, Su Hao might have only indirectly saved a few or a dozen master-level Sprite Trainers by luring Heavenly King Unique away.
There weren’t many of them, but they were all elites from various countries. Some were in their early twenties and had potential to reach the Heavenly King level in the future.
In a sense, he had saved five Heavenly Kings in total!
In the long term, perhaps one day in the future, these five Heavenly Kings would make a difference against evil forces. Then, wouldn’t that mean Su Hao had… saved the whole world?
Thinking about it this way, Su Hao had, in fact, contributed greatly
That’s right, but could luring away a Heavenly King of Super Ugliness really be considered a difficult task?
“No, no… the Heavenly King of Super Ugliness was probably one of the weaker Heavenly Kings and had an earth-element Gargoyle Dragon. If it had been a wind-element, thunder-element, or wind-element, Su Hao probably wouldn’t have been able to escape on the Dumb Unicorn.”
Su Hao pondered.
He repeated the four-word mantra “Passive, steady, safe, protected…” several times in his heart.
Then, he heard the middle-aged official in front of him continue, “Apart from being a symbol of honor, medals also represent identity and possess some power.”
“For example…” He paused and said,” What do you know about sects? ”
Su Hao answered what the middle-aged official wanted to hear, indicating that he only knew a little.
“In terms of comprehensive aspects, sects are inferior to Sprite Universities, but in just one aspect, even prestigious schools may not be comparable to sects.”
“For example, the famous elemental sects in our nation include “Flame Sect “,” Extreme Ice Sect “, and so on. Every sect has its own unique cultivation and nurturing methods. Non-core disciples such as yourself can probably only learn a bit of superficial knowledge at the dojos of the sects… but if you had the Medal of Honor, even if you don’t end up learning the secret techniques of the sects, you would at least be able to one or two sets of core secret manuals.
“How is it? Isn’t the Medal of Honor very precious?”
“Yes, that’s right. You’re right. Thank you so much.”
When the middle-aged official heard this, a chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on his face.
…
After leaving, Su Hao carefully examined the medal in his hand. The workmanship was exquisite, and some special materials had even seeped into it.
Under the sunlight, circles of seven-colored light spread.
That was an anti-counterfeit logbook.
“This medal came just in time.”
Su Hao had always wanted to go to different places to learn new things.
As for the difficulty in learning core techniques, that was just a matter of whether he had enough money.
He just needed to pay.
“But it’s very comforting to know that I wouldn’t have to pay much.” He thought for a moment and said, “Well, I have to wait and see just how valuable this Medal of Honor really is, I’ll pay more when I need to.”
As Su Hao was leaving, he bumped into Senior Wu.
Senior Wu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Medal of Honor?”
“Yes.”
“Not bad, not bad.” Senior Wu patted his shoulder. “I only have three.”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
Senior, you’re showing off, right?
“By the way,” Senior Wu suddenly said, “The Yama Ghost King that you contracted, do you know how you’re going to go about cultivating it?”
“Kinda…”
“Yama Ghost King is a very special sprite. The cultivation method may be different from traditional ghost-element sprites. You have to pay attention… Also, those scrolls obtained from Ghost City are currently being analyzed. There may be information hidden inside that is helpful to Yama Ghost King. If there’s a chance, you should find out more… since now you’re able to.”
What Senior Wu didn’t mention was that although special sprites had high potential, the cultivation difficulty was high.
If they couldn’t find the right cultivation method, it might cause the sprites to improve slowly.
There were such cases in history.
In comparison, the accumulation of information gathered by countless Sprite Trainers for common sprites made cultivation and advancement easier.
Specialness didn’t equate to power.
Senior Wu felt that his junior was a little too enthusiastic about rare sprites.
“Well… That doesn’t sound right.”
Heavenly King Wu suddenly remembered that Butterfly Fairy, Bright Night Spirit, and that horse were all accidental products.
But they were all cultivated very perfectly nonetheless.
It was even more perfect than sprites with complete guides.
He felt that he shouldn’t worry anymore. Not only would he worry for nothing, he would also lose his hair.
It wasn’t worth it.
After pondering for a long time, Senior Wu pretended to be deep in thought and said, “Do you know about the inheritance?”
“Senior, you mean the inheritance in Ghost City?”
“Yes, Ghost City definitely had a complete inheritance in the past. And heritage, to put it more simply, inheritance can be understood as empowerment. It can directly increase a sprite’s strength… When we were going through the stages in Ghost City, the light beams that enveloped the sprites were similar to inheritance, but that wasn’t real inheritance.”
“And in the Spirit Summoning World, the Union controls a real land of inheritance.”
Su Hao noticed something. “Is the New World also called the ‘Spirit Summoning World’ in the other ruins?”
Senior Wu nodded.
Su Hao was speechless. As expected, when he didn’t understand it in the past, it was referred to as “New World”. Now that his intelligence level had increased, Senior Wu had also changed the term to “Spirit Summoning World”, it was all a lie!
“That’s not important.” Senior Wu smiled embarrassedly. “Don’t you want to know where that land of inheritance is? Let me tell you, that is indeed the most important ruin in the Union’s hands.”
He changed the topic and asked, “Have you heard of the Supernova Cup?”
Su Hao thought about it. He seemed to have heard a little about it.
It was a competition that wasn’t very famous.
“The Supernova Cup is a world-class competition for Sprite Trainers under the age of 30… Why at this age? Because the land of inheritance can only be entered under the age of 30… The purpose of the Supernova Cup is to select suitable inheritors.”
Which made sense why it wasn’t famous.
In fact, it was impossible to know the specific information about the Supernova Cup unless one reached a certain level.
“The participation qualification for the Supernova Cup now requires master-level. The preliminary round is about five months from now. Although you aren’t even 20 yet and your overall strength is also slightly lacking, you still have time. If you work harder, you might be able to enter.”
“You can go and understand the details yourself.”
Senior Wu waved and left gracefully.
It wasn’t easy for him to think of a way to set a difficult goal for this junior.
…
That day, Su Hao found specific information about the “Supernova Cup” on the Union’s intranet with his Level 9 access.
Young geniuses from all over the world were fighting for very limited spots.
He couldn’t find out what the inheritance was specifically.
He only knew that no matter what type or style of sprites they were, as long as they could step into the land of inheritance, they would be able to gain something.
And it wasn’t dangerous.
Many Sprite Trainers in the Union also got their “Sprite Commandeering” from that land of inheritance.
Su Hao was just an ordinary university student, so of course he was interested.
“Alright, I’ll set a small goal and try to get the qualification to enter the Dragon Nation’s local competition first.”
