BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 - Breakthrough, Entry Stage!
Chapter 62: Breakthrough, Entry Stage!
The lounge turned quiet all of a sudden.
After being eliminated, the candidates who knew that they had no hope of getting into the top 100 were dejected.
Candidates with hopes of getting into the top 100 craned their necks and waited nervously for the results to be announced.
Su Hao also became slightly nervous.
His points were indeed quite high.
But he heard that there were entry-level wild sprites in the primordial forest.
He didn’t know how many points he would get from defeating an entry-level sprite. What if he got hundreds or thousands of points from defeating just one?
“What if Bing Ning or Lin Mingzheng defeated several entry-level wild sprites?”
After all, wild sprites had poor foundations. Even if they could break through to entry-level, in terms of battle power, they couldn’t be on par with Sprite Trainers’ carefully cultivated companions.
Su Hao couldn’t help but feel nervous about the priceless reward.
Only Lin Mingzheng, who was always surrounded by many of his admirers, remained confident.
…
Heavenly King Zhou said that he was announcing the results.
But in fact, he just pressed the button of the projector switch on a remote control to project the next score ranking in the lounge.
Top ten.
And the top 100.
There was no more.
The names of the top ten candidates were written in very large fonts, which could be seen from afar.
Lin Mingzheng looked over with a confident smile.
The clearest name that was hanging at the very top like a visual meter was…
“It’s indeed Su… Wait a minute? What Su Hao?”
His eyes widened as he read it repeatedly.
Then, he finally saw the words Lin Mingzheng at the bottom left corner of Su Hao’s name.
It was second place.
“But how is that possible!?”
If the first place was Bing Ning, he would have accepted it.
But who was Su Hao?
Lin Mingzheng, who was too lazy to understand the information of the other candidates, had never heard of this name at all.
“It’s fake, right?”
He wanted to question it badly.
But asking this would make him seem too narrow-minded.
His gaze swept around as he wanted to wait for the other candidates to raise questions, but he discovered that they seemed to quite agree with this ranking.
Lin Mingzheng was completely stunned.
…
When Su Hao’s name resounded throughout the five schools.
Heavenly King Zhou awarded honors to Su Hao and the other nine people in the top ten.
Su Hao was a little disappointed.
Why didn’t they get a pure gold trophy?
“When the time comes, your school will give you a special membership card. This card can be used in place of Dragon Nation currency to buy the cultivation resources you need from subsidiary shops opened by the Union of Sprite Trainers or cooperative groups such as the Green Shade Group.”
Heavenly King Zhou paused for a moment before saying, “Those who have an alliance account can also transfer it directly to your account. It’s more convenient to buy using it at the Union’s shopping center.”
Bing Ning reported her account silently.
Lin Mingzheng did the same.
Su Hao also stated his account.
In an instant…
The other nine all turned to look at him.
In bewilderment.
As everyone knew, only official Sprite Trainers were allowed to register their identities in the Union of Sprite Trainers. Others, even if they had Heavenly King-level seniors in their families, were not allowed to do that.
Whether it was Lin Mingzheng or the other seven people, they all believed that Su Hao came in first because he scored a lot of marks among the candidates.
His real strength could perhaps be labelled as number one under entry level.
Only Bing Ning knew that Silkworm Baby’s abilities were not inferior to entry-level sprites.
But it was still not at entry level.
How did he get an account?
“Mr. Su Hao is a registered Sprite Cultivator.” Heavenly King Zhou smiled.
Lin Mingzheng was stunned for half a breath.
His eyes went from surprise to disbelief, then to shame and anger.
A student of the same level who specialized in the Sprite Cultivation field actually beat him in the battle?
Unforgivable!
“The Heart of Attributes or elemental essences rewarded must be determined by yourselves. You can get them tomorrow,” Heavenly King Zhou said.
Without a doubt, Su Hao chose Wood-element.
There was no such thing as Fire-element being rarer than Wood-element to the precious Hearts of Attributes, t
They were all priceless treasures anyway.
At the moment, compared to Little Fire Crow which was still developing, Silkworm Baby needed the Heart of Attributes more desperately.
The little guy was also the starter sprite he contracted. Logically speaking, Su Hao had chosen Wood-element.
…
The next day.
Battle Preparation Village.
After returning to the village to rest for a night, Su Hao met Bing Ning and Lin Mingzheng again.
Today, the three of them were the only ones who received that valuable reward personally.
In a bright room.
Heavenly King Zhou, several referees from the referees’ team and a few teachers from the various schools were all present.
The atmosphere was very serious.
This made Su Hao and the other two novices nervous.
Before long, the door opened, and three Sprite Trainers, dressed in black, walked in.
Beside them were three sprites larger than calves.
Ground Wolves.
It was the evolved form of Earth Wolf.
Both were elite-level.
They were escorting three sealed black boxes.
This kind of lineup surprised even Su Hao.
It was Heavenly King Zhou who spoke, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room.
“Come, it’s time to reveal the treasures.”
He walked forward personally and opened the three black boxes.
A burst of green, gold, and white light emerged from the three boxes.
Among them, the green light was the strongest.
After the box was opened, light spread continuously, forming a ball of light nearly a meter in diameter.
Inside the ball of light was a jade green leaf about the size of a mouse.
This was the Heart of Attributes!
The other two boxes were much smaller.
The inside of the golden ball of light had something that looked like a metal fragment in the size of an eraser.
The inside of the white ball of light had something that looked like a piece of broken ice, about the size of a metal fragment.
“I suggest that you let the sprite absorb the Heart of Attributes right now.”
Su Hao understood.
From the looks of it, one would understand how precious the Heart of Attributes was.
It was completely not something a newbie Sprite Trainer could have.
Bringing it with him was no different from a child carrying gold through a busy city.
But things would be different after it was absorbed.
Since they had already used it, even those with ulterior motives could only keep their thoughts to themselves.
Su Hao patted Silkworm Baby’s little head.
Silkworm Baby ran to the box containing the Heart of Leaf, its big eyes filled with desire.
“Just eat it directly.” Heavenly King Zhou smiled.
Silkworm Baby turned and looked at Su Hao.
Su Hao nodded. “Just eat it in one bite.”
“Gurgle.”
Silkworm Baby swallowed it in one bite.
The Heart of Attributes and spiritual force resonated and immediately fused in.
Waves of green light emerged from Silkworm Baby’s body. The patterns on its back became brighter and brighter.
In Su Hao’s eyes.
It looked different again.
Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force was increasing visibly.
Previously, Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force was at 176. After completing two “small compressions”, the third time required 200 spiritual force points.
But Su Hao estimated that Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force capacity was just at 180, and this was thanks to his signature suction method.
It was normal. Sprites that consumed a lot of resources to nurture had their capacity limited at maximum 140 to 150.
Su Hao didn’t plan on letting Silkworm Baby complete the third small compression.
It was too draggy.
At this moment…
Silkworm Baby, which was absorbing the Heart of Attributes, slowly and firmly increased its spiritual force.
Soon, it exceeded 180, its speed not decreasing at all.
“The increase in spiritual force will just come along with the increase in potential. There are no side effects at all.”
Time passed bit by bit.
Under the watchful eyes of the judges and teachers, the frisbee and the White Seal quickly absorbed the Heart of Secondary Attributes.
Only Silkworm Baby was still emitting green light.
At this moment…
In Su Hao’s eyes, Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force had already exceeded 200 points.
Its speed started to slow down.
At the same time, the little rascal was compressing its spiritual force.
As long as the spiritual force reached the standard amount, the problem of how to compress it was just a matter of technique.
It was familiar with the route.
Under the watch of a Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainer, he completed the third small compression of spiritual force.
Heavenly King Zhou only felt that the absorption effect of this Silkworm Baby was a little obvious, and it was becoming visibly stronger.
At this moment…
The green glow on Silkworm Baby’s body gradually faded.
Yet there an indescribable aura was gradually rising.
Heavenly King Zhou broke out into a smile and said, “It has accumulated a lot and is about to break through.”
