《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 48: Su Hao's Trump Card
Advertisement
"Look of a Heavenly King? Would this praise be too high?"
There were many stages after becoming an official Sprite Trainer—Elementary, Mid, Upper, Elite, Master, and then Heavenly King Level!
Sprite Trainers at the level of Heavenly King were already strategic powerhouses, high-level officials of a province!
Coach Xiong smiled. "I only think Su Hao has such possibility. What surprised me the most about him was him coming from an ordinary family background but achieving results that many offspring of Sprite Trainer families can't achieve.
"But, right now his sprite is only pre-entry level, there aren't many resources that can be put in, so Su Hao can lead in An City First High, and be not too different from even the top students of top high schools.
"But once it reaches entry-level, the offspring of some Sprite Trainer families, or heirs of sects, can get a large number of resources for their sprites. At that time, it would be hard for Su Hao to keep his leading position.
"Furthermore, Sprite Trainer families and sects with real legacies have their own unique skills and tactical systems figured out by many Sprite Trainer seniors over the past decades.
"Whether or not Su Hao can reach the Heavenly King level in the future is also dependent on luck, apart from his own hard work."
Yes, luck!
Upon hearing Coach Xiong say so, Old Chen and the other few teachers also felt the same.
The higher level a sprite reached, the greater the number of resources needed to cultivate it.
Old Chen also used to be a top student during high school and got into a good Sprite University. During the first year of university, her sprite had broken through into entry-level, but so many years had passed, and it had yet to get to elite-level.
Su Hao may have the chance of reaching Heavenly King, but… that's just a really slight chance.
"In any case, with the students Su Hao, Li Songting, Gu Lingyao, and Liu Ren this cohort, at least…" Old Gu thought about it and said, "We can achieve decent results during the five-school joint combat practice."
"Especially Su Hao, his Little Fire Crow alone is at the level of a good student at Yunhua University Affiliated High School. His Silkworm Baby has probably reached its maximum spiritual force… It's a pity, if his Silkworm Baby could break through into entry-level, it would have a chance at even the top three."

"It's already pretty good, considering the past cohorts…"
None of the past cohorts had combat practice in the wild. But they had sprite battle exchanges between schools.
The good students from An City First High who took part in the exchanges were completely insignificant characters who merely showed their faces on stage. In the end, the stage was for Yunhua University Affiliated High School and Yunhua First High School.
"This year, our An City First High can at least surprise Xingyuan High School and Pingcheng First High hard!"
Old Gu thought about it and couldn't conceal the smile on his face.
…
Su Hao didn't stay for too long at school.
At first, he went to the battle hall to check the average ability of his batchmates at the moment.
Then, he realized he was thinking too much—none could properly fight at An City First High.
Nevertheless, Yunhua University Affiliated High School and Yunhua First High were far better, and he couldn't figure out the situation about those two schools by watching his batchmates fight each other.
He may as well not watch and spend his limited time on unlimited training for sprites.
Su Hao came to Sprite Square, went around the public battle space, and kept walking in until he arrived at a large hall.
"Hello, please open a primary-level training room for me."
The staff member, who was using her phone, looked up, saw Su Hao's young face, and instinctively said, "Sorry, the training rooms here require official… official… Ah!"
He saw the Sprite Cultivator certificate Su Hao handed over.
Out of career instinct, she took it immediately and scanned it at the machine.
Beep!
"Primary-Level Sprite Cultivator Certificate."
It's actually real!
"Hello, your training room is No. 4, and you have 30 hours of free usage remaining this month."
Su Hao took his card back and walked toward the training room without looking back, carrying a Silkworm Baby on his head.
A Little Fire Crow flew "squawking" closely behind.
After Su Hao's figure disappeared around the corner, the young staff member finally withdrew her glance and muttered, "So handsome."
…
The primary-level training room was a big room of more than 100 square meters. The whole room was made with special materials, and even entry-level sprites could hardly damage it.

There was also plenty of training equipment in the training room that could be used.
And it was for free!
This wasn't the first time Su Hao was here. He took out several targets with ease.
After the big rocks at the backside of the hill, the training room's targets became Su Hao's first-choice target, since they endured hitting well.
It was just that the free hours were limited.
"Little Fire Crow, continue practicing Flaming Claws and Wing Attacks…
"Silkworm Baby, practice Fancy Energy Ball first."
Su Hao focused his gaze on the interface.
At first, the main unique skills he prepared for Little Fire Crow were Feather Needles, Flaming Needles, and Fire Ball.
The aim was to cultivate Little Fire Crow into a long-distance artillery battery.
Flaming Claws was only a side skill to give Little Fire Crow some resisting ability when it was approached.
But he didn't expect… Little Fire Crow's claws would be ablaze with flames, which turned into a flaming claw even larger than its body. It was like a little kid waving a big hammer, but it flashed left and right around the target and tore it down with its claws.
Unique Skill: Flaming Claw (Improved)
Improvement direction: Increase the stability of Flaming Claw and increase the time the unique skill is sustained
"How did Little Fire Crow become a master of close-quarter combat?"
"It must be the Silkworm Baby's fault!"
Although Little Fire Crow wasn't a high-endurance sprite, it had the lifesaving unique skill of Feather Substitute and matched with other skills. Thus, it seemed like a warrior good at both attacking and dodging. It was not impossible to develop it in that direction.
As such, Su Hao let it be.
He designed two more sets of tactics for Little Fire Crow.
One was an ordinary set, with long-distance attacks, mainly Feather Needles and Fire Balls.
The other was an explosive set, with the main skill being Flaming Claw, supplemented by Wing Attacks, and Feather Substitute for close-quarter fights.
"Silkworm Baby's fighting methods are more steady, complete with both attack and defense."
He saw it condense an Energy Ball the size of a football, but didn't throw it out immediately, and instead produced a second and a third.
The Energy Balls were very steady. Silkworm Baby held them on top of its head like it was doing acrobatics, then shifted one to the tail and lashed it out forcefully.
The Energy Ball flew out in a flash, striking a target right in the middle, and exploded.
Silkworm Baby stood upright again, its short legs on the left and right sides, each guiding one Energy Ball. The two Energy Balls were lashed out together, spun at high speed, moved over a semicircle on both the left and right sides, and bumped onto the center of the target, exploding.
The bombarded target buzzed and shook.
Spinning energy balls was not an improved unique skill, but a method of using spiritual force, like Little Fire Crow's spinning feathers, just like spinning table tennis balls.
It was just that there was an extremely high requirement for the control of energy in order to manipulate the unstable Energy Balls in fancy manners.
Upon seeing its performance, Su Hao felt pretty satisfied with Silkworm Baby.
Although it idled around, read novels, watched TV dramas, played games, and did some mysterious things he didn't know, it could always finish the tasks he gave on time… No, ahead of time.
Su Hao had nothing to say.
Among the unique skills mastered by Silkworm Baby, either fancy Energy Ball, Improved Charging, or the advanced unique skill of Roaring, Stunning, could be used as a battle-changing skill.
Besides, there was still…
Su Hao focused his gaze on the interface.
There was still another improvement that could make a supplementary skill a lethal unique skill.
Unique Skill: String Shot (Improved)
Direction of improvement: Sharpness!

Get ready, its going to be a wild ride. ------------------------------------------------------- |_+) Come, Read the Story. Watch Worlds be Conquered. (ALL HAIL YOUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS!) See Arrogant Young Masters be slapped in the face (by a 170mm Rail-slug traveling Mach 3). Find Grand, Valuable Treasure (which gets put into storage, because what use does an AI have with pill herbs?) Explore Strange and wonderful lands (that will be shortly stripped mined and exploited for all usable resources) |_+) JOIN US!______________________________________ ALPHA-555-12-4412 (Designation: Star Conquer).One of the 5 most powerful and advanced AI-driven Interstellar Weapon Platforms ever built, was programmed with a very simple mission. Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for. Now stranded on an alien, yet familiar world, full of dangerous beasts and strange phenomenon its database has no record or explanation for, Alpha must find a way to not only survive, but thrive.And eventually to do what he was built to do. Conquer._____________________________________________________Some things to expect from this Story 1): MC is an AI programmed with a very specific goal. Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.
