《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 167: Votes Pulling Segment [3/3, Updated at 900 votes]
Advertisement
"The so-called abilities aren't tough."
The Luohan Panda brought them to the other side of the platform on the mountainside, in front of a cliff.
There were chains here, stretching across the cliff and embedded into the mountain wall opposite.
Looking down, it seemed bottomless.
Strong winds howled, and lightning appeared in the surroundings from time to time.
However, there were also many Bear tribe sprites who were training on the chains… Cough, playing, grabbing onto the chains like they were swinging on a swing.
It made people sweat involuntarily.
"The first part of the trial is for you to walk along the metal chain to the opposite side before walking back.
"Sprites can help, but you have to step on metal chains. You are not allowed to ride sprites that can fly."
The Luohan Panda paused and looked at the eight people. "Which one of you will start first?"
Of course, Su Hao was a little scared.
It wasn't a question of whether he would fall to his death, but… it looked scary.
Among the eight, the youngest, probably only 16 or 17 years old, looked at the cliff and the violent wind and thunder that appeared from time to time, and was about to burst into tears.
The young lady's senior, a female soon-to-be Heavenly King, comforted her. "Don't worry, you won't die… I mean you won't fall."
"I'll go first."
A middle-aged master-level man stepped out. He walked in front of an unmanned… un-bearred chain.
He said to his sprite, a Bursting Flame Bat, "Protect me."
As he spoke, he stepped onto the chain.
The middle-aged man walked on it like it was flat ground. The Bursting Flame Bat only blocked some thunderbolts that had suddenly appeared. In less than two minutes, this master-level person walked back and forth.
The other master-level stepped forward right after.
Relying on his strong physique after the feedback, as well as the reflexes and balance abilities he had gained from training, he made a simple round trip.
After all, at master-level, his mental fortitude was much stronger than juniors like Su Hao.
"Let me do it."
Su Hao had just taken a step forward when Wu Hang ran up quickly.
He snatched the third spot.
Su Hao shrugged.
Why was he in such a hurry?

Wu Hang's Steel Bone Dragon Lizard was completely useless. His Flaming Phoenix Butterfly held onto his collar and helped him maintain his balance with great difficulty.
He also had to pay attention to the wind and thunder around him. He walked carefully for five to six minutes before returning.
Su Hao noticed that the back of his clothes was completely wet.
Wu Hang even raised his chin at him.
"You have a strong desire to win, why bother?"
Su Hao wanted to comment that he didn't even see how many flying sprites he had.
His gaze swept across Butterfly, Dazed Crow, and Dumb Unicorn.
They all knew how to fly.
They all had protective abilities.
So…
"Just the two of you."
Su Hao greeted Butterfly and Dazed Crow.
Water Unicorn Beast: "???"
"Neigh ~?"
"Neigh ~?"
It called out urgently.
Su Hao was unmoved.
This Dumb Unicorn was clearly especially easy to get carried away, and it clearly didn't have any idea in its heart.
He would feel too insecure if he brought it along.
No way!
Su Hao took a few steps forward and stepped on the chain.
It swayed.
He was confident.
He definitely couldn't stand steadily. Li Songting probably could.
But he wasn't afraid.
He walked straight forward. Butterfly's Psychic power grabbed him from both sides, making him maintain his balance and walk forward.
Flaming Cloud Crow flew above him. Its wings spread out and extended continuously. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pair of huge wings seven to eight meters long, protecting him from both sides.
There was also Reverie Butterfly's Psychic Shield as the second layer of protection.
He felt very safe.
But it was rather much.
Su Hao raised his head slightly and didn't look at the chain under his feet. In any case, Reverie Butterfly had fixed his direction, so he didn't deviate from it.
So he walked faster and faster, and walked back and forth in two to three minutes.
He walked with maximum comfort.
He walked out with a sense of joy.
After walking out, he still hadn't had enough.
Heavenly King Wu patted Heavenly King Lu very proudly. "Look, that's my junior."
"He's not your disciple."
"But he was also taught by me, he's stronger than the students you taught."

Heavenly King Lu: Son of a b*tch!
He simply turned away.
The remaining four tried one after another, completing the 'ability assessment' safely.
The most thrilling one was the 16-year-old girl.
She only had one sprite, entry-level Wind Sparrow.
The Wind Sparrow wasn't big nor strong. After spending a lot of effort in addition to the little girl's own hard work, she finally finished climbing the chain.
But those with experience knew that the first round of the trial had a greater symbolic meaning.
The difficult part of the trial was how to gain the approval of the Bear King Mountain sprites.
The Luohan Panda held a wooden cane, paused, and said, "You have one day to move around halfway up the mountain. You can use your charm, strength, or other methods. There are no restrictions, as long as you can get the approval of other sprites."
"Tomorrow, after noon, I will gather the other sprites to vote. As long as you can get more than 20 votes, it will be considered a success. You can look for bear cubs to contract yourself."
The Luohan Panda added, "Well, every sprite only has one vote. It can choose not to vote, but not vote more than once."
After it finished speaking, it told Heavenly King Xiong and the others to leave.
Only Su Hao and the other seven competitors were left.
Wu Hang looked over, as if saying: I will win this round.
Su Hao shrugged.
He was a professional when it came to relationships with sprites.
If one meal wasn't enough, he would let them have two meals. If two meals weren't enough, he would add more ingredients.
He had also observed just now that the sprites of Bear King Mountain were all foodies.
Why else would most of the supplies be related to food?
"Well, fortunately, I had foresight."
He looked at the Water Unicorn Beast.
After the battle, it hung its luggage on it again.
He called out to the Water Unicorn Beast and walked towards the stone hall, thinking about which jade powder set meal to use.
At the same time, the others each moved as well.
"Gurgle?"
Butterfly flew above his head and asked if it could move freely on its own.
"Gurgle~"
It added that could help with the canvassing.
Su Hao thought about it. Butterfly was indeed a Cultural Butterfly. He felt relieved and agreed.
"Gurgle ~"
The butterfly flapped its wings and flew away briskly.
...
On Bear King Mountain.
All the computers were installed in the hall. There were large, medium, and small models, arranged in rows, like an Internet cafe.
At this moment, a Tyrant Bear was giving instructions to the little cubs.
It roared.
"Easy!"
"Do you know how expensive a computer is?!"
"Whoever breaks the keyboard, get lost!"
It spoke in Sprite language, its voice making the air buzz.
Butterfly flew a little further away and looked around.
The Bear tribe sprites were excited and carefully controlled their mouse and keyboard.
They fought in front of the computer.
Seeing this scene, Butterfly felt like it had returned home. It felt very comfortable.
It flew and flew behind an Electric Bear. On the screen was a game popular in Dragon Nation… or rather, it was very popular all over the world.
5v5 battle game.
The name was "League of Sprite Trainers". Sprite Trainers chose sprites to develop, match, and team battle.
The sprite controlled by the Electric Bear was also an Electric Bear. After it destroyed a wave of wild sprites, it finally reached level twelve. The sprite on the screen was accompanied by a roar.
"Woo…"
The Electric Bear evolved into Thunder Roaring, and its whole body became much larger. Circles of thunder arcs surrounded it, and there was even a striking lightning mark on its chest.
The Electric Bear was excited.
Its paw kept manipulating the special mouse and keyboard.
But suddenly…
A Punching King Kangaroo darted out from the bushes, a combination of skills blasted Thunder Roaring into the sky and caused it to land heavily.
The whole screen instantly turned black and white.
The Electric Bear, which was controlling its character, was stunned.
Lightning flashed in his eyes.
It let out a roar, raised its bear paw and was about to slap down angrily…
It paused halfway.
Its logic told it that it couldn't, couldn't, couldn't…
But it also died in the hands of the computer. The Electric Bear felt wronged and angry, but had nowhere to vent.
Butterfly looked at it and sighed.
How embarrassing!
It landed in front of the computer and pushed the Lightning Bear away with Psychic power.
"Gurgle~"
Look at me!

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.
