Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 306 - provincial-level, preliminary round



Chapter 306: provincial-level, preliminary round

Time: February of a certain year.

Location: Tiannan Province, Tiannan City, suburban base.

Usually, the base was cold and cheerless, with only a few soldiers and Sprite Trainers around. Today, it was especially lively.

Cars, pedestrians, Sprite Trainers riding sprites came and went.

This was the location of the Supernova Cup, the preliminary round, and the Tiannan Province division.

As the Supernova Cup was a world-class competition with many participants, it was obviously impossible to gather all the Sprite Trainers at once to hold a grand competition.

— That wasn’t the goal anyway.

“The Supernova Cup will be carried out in stages. Overall, it is divided into three stages: the preliminary round, Dragon Nation’s qualification, and the competition for the inheritance.”

Su Hao, who had ridden over mountains and rivers on the Dumb Unicorn, heard the words by the side of the road.

Turning around, he saw a young man with a stubble and a young girl in her twenties.

At this moment, the little girl was asking with big, innocent eyes, “Master, Master, you must be aiming for the inheritance, right?”

“Cough, cough, cough.”

The young man put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. After a long while, he said, “You don’t understand. How difficult is it to get the inheritance? I wouldn’t be shocked if our Tiannan Province gets completely wiped out.”

“Of course, as your outstanding master, I will definitely pass and get the qualification with outstanding battle results!”

The young man with the stubble lowered his voice and added. “qualification of the preliminary, that is.”.

He enjoyed the young lady’s worshipful gaze.

“You, on the other hand, shall stay in the audience and watch properly. Learn from your master or the tactics of others.”

There were many teams like the stubbly youth or teams of three to five people.

Not all of them were participants.

The Supernova Cup was also a competition that wasn’t publicized or broadcasted live.

But…

Bringing a few family and friends to watch the battle and as emotional support was allowed.

Lonely people like Su Hao without company… were actually part of the minority.

“Well, someone like me is undoubtedly an expert. I have to observe more.”

At this point, there were only two days left until the official start of the competition.

It was very lively around the registration point.

But they were just spectators. Someone with a basic threshold of master level could beat over 99.9% of the Sprite Trainers here.

Su Hao waited for the young man with the stubble to finish registering before he stepped forward.

He took out Sprite Trainer ID and personal ID from his pocket.

The staff member at the registration point checked it, smiled, and handed the two documents back.

“Sir, you meet the conditions for the Supernova Cup. Please fill in the relevant information on the form… In addition, this is your number plate. Please take good care of it… Someone will arrange accommodation for you later.”

Su Hao looked at the black token in his hand. There was a red number “107” on it.

“In that case, 106 contestants have already been registered before me? There are really quite a lot… There are still two days before the registration deadline.”

“There are indeed many big bosses. I have to be cautious, cautious, and cautious!”

Just as he left the registration point and was about to head to the accommodation arranged by the provincial guild, he heard an angry roar behind him.

“What did you say?! I’m too old? It’s clear my 30th birthday isn;t until next month! Are you kidding me?!”

A bearded man with muscles and a slightly older appearance slapped the table, causing cracks to appear on it.

The staff members who were just ordinary people were also shocked.

The staff seemed to have also said something, but his voice was completely covered by the big voice of the bearded man.

Su Hao frowned.

At this moment…

A terrifying aura came from one of the buildings and shrouded the bearded man.

His protective screen suddenly popped out, but he also froze.

Especially when he saw his trump card, the extraordinary-level Mountain Moving Ape, looking like it was facing a great enemy, he calmed down immediately.

A voice came from the building. “The conditions for the Supernova Cup are written clearly. This isn’t a place for you to cause trouble. If there’s a next time, your Sprite Trainer benefits will be canceled.”

As soon as the person in the building finished speaking, the staff hurriedly took out a book and pushed it in front of the bearded man.

The bearded man flipped it open. It was clearly written on it… 29 years old. Only Sprite Trainers born after June were allowed to enter.

Thirty years old was just a general term.

But… no one had informed him!

The bearded man with muscles turned around and left like an aggrieved and resentful little wife.

On the third day, the Tiannan Province-level competition officially began.

It was just a provincial venue, there wasn’t a big audience, but…

They still had an opening ceremony and speeches from the leaders.

The Sprite Trainers below the field and the audience didn’t become impatient, because… the person speaking was a Heavenly King-level big boss.

“I didn’t expect President Xia to host the provincial meeting.”

“Heavenly King Xia is the president of our Tiannan Province. Isn’t it normal for him to host the competition?”

“What are you talking about? President Xia is a busy person. Not only does he have to oversee the development of the various New Worlds, he also has to deal with organizations like the Dark Society… I heard that at the end of the year, a Dark Society Heavenly King sneaked into our Tiannan Province but was eventually chased away by President Xia.”

“President Xia didn’t want the Dark Society Heavenly King to take desperate measures. Otherwise, he would have directly captured that Heavenly King.”

“Gasp… I didn’t know that so many things had happened. Big boss, how did you know about all this?”

“I’m no big boss. I work at the countermeasure bureau under the provincial guild. I’m just a small team leader.”

“Ah ~ So you’re the ultimate boss, you have my respect… ”

Su Hao was also looking at Heavenly King Xia, who was speaking on the stage.

Su Hao even had Heavenly King Xia Yang’s contact information. He didn’t get it during the College Entrance Examination. Instead, Su Hao got it when he went to the Fire Sect Dojo to visit the Dazed Crow, where he met Heavenly King Xia.

After a while, he got familiar with him and got his contact details.

It would make it easier for Su Hao to garner favors in the future.

Heavenly King Xia’s speech only had three points. It ended very quickly.

“…I hope all of you can show your abilities and bring honor to our Tiannan Province.”

The president finished his speech.

The host picked up the microphone again and started to read out the rules of the preliminary round.

“The rules of the Supernova Cup provincial competition are very simple. There are only two rules, one is about individual battles and the other is about points battles.

“In individual battle, you command sprites to battle in a one-on-one way. During the battle, sprites can be replaced by other sprites through summoning. When all the sprites contracted by Sprite Trainers can’t fight, and there are no sprites left to go on the battlefield, or if the trainer chooses to surrender, it will be considered as a defeat.”

“Every contestant needs to fight ten rounds. Winning gives you three points, a draw will get you one point, and losing will result in 0 points. Finally, the ten contestants with the highest score will qualify and represent our Tiannan Province to compete in the Dragon Nation competition area.”

“If there are contestants with the same score, another battle will be held.”

On the big screen, lots were being drawn.

On the screen, many profile pictures and their corresponding numbers kept changing.

In the end, it stopped changing and the results were fixed on the big screen.

Su Hao’s eyes swept across and found his handsome profile picture.

[107] VS [159].

There was no name, only a number and a profile picture. The head of number 159 was a plain and ugly young man.

Su Hao didn’t know the other person.

“Speaking of which, I don’t think… I know any of the contestants.”

“Unlike others who hang out in the Sprite Trainer circles of Tiannan Province all year round. Those people more or less know more than 30 to 60 people.”

They were all upper-middle class people in the circle. Many of them had even formed teams and traded with friends.

They could greet or remember someone’s name when they met.

There were probably other related chat groups in the circle… But up till now, Su Hao had only accepted one mission to explore the hall, and it was in another province. He still couldn’t get into the circle.

“But there’s nothing I can do. After all, I only know the big boss.”

“Eh…”

Su Hao’s gaze landed on a certain part of the big screen. There was actually a photo on it that he actually knew.
