Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 229: Challenging the School Team Substitute! (First Update)

The school team’s team battle exercise area was behind the special training camp.

According to Senior Tan, the High School League was a battle between teams of five people and five sprites after all. Their cooperation was definitely not as good as the cooperation with their own sprites.

Without targeted cultivation, it was also very difficult to construct a team battle system.

Therefore, the selection of team members focused more on the battle power of the ace sprite, and not its attributes and types.

“But we have to understand what secret manuals and battle methods other sprites have. Only then will there be team battle drills.”

Senior Tan said, “Today is the first team battle exercise after the school team’s member selection.”

“Did anyone else substitute the members of the school team?”

Senior Tan said, “Yes, yes. The 8th place Luo Leiwen and the tenth place Tang Jiangxue were both replaced. The one who defeated Luo Leiwen was a senior who was originally ranked 17th. He was a dark horse and won with an obvious advantage.”

“I heard from Captain Wang Qi of the school team that that senior’s ace is one of the best among the substitutes. Besides, he’s only in his third year of university. He has the ability to compete for the position of the next school captain!”

She had personally witnessed the battle of that senior’s rise. As she spoke, she got excited.

She admired that senior very much.

It was just that his looks weren’t that good. Otherwise, she would become a fan.

As they spoke, they walked out of the building complex and saw a vast field with a dent in the front.

On the left and right sides of the field, it could be seen from afar that each side had a tower, which was similar to the field in the challenge segment. It was just that there were no complicated terrain. Instead, it was hard ground, special crystal walls, and so on.

It was extremely resistant to attacks. Even with extraordinary destructive power, it couldn’t leave too many traces on the ground.

From afar, Su Hao saw a group of people gathered outside the venue in front.

There were many people who looked vaguely familiar to him.

They were members of the special training camp.

And a few instructors.

They surrounded it, as if they were looking at something.

Under Senior Tan’s call, the two squeezed forward. Su Hao saw a large sand table behind the crowd.

Yellow sand flowed, forming forests, mountains, and a few vivid and lifelike sprites. Surprisingly, it was a real sand table created by a certain sprite with its sand control ability.

“That is…?”

“We’re doing a strategic simulation.”

The one who spoke was Jiang Xiuqi. He saw Su Hao and said, “Look, the sprites below are familiar with their battle companions, while us Sprite Trainers are in charge of considering strategic tactics.”

Su Hao looked over.

The most eye-catching places on the sand table were the two towers in the field, but other than that, circles were drawn on the other four spots. Some had flags inserted, while others didn’t.

It was like a chess game.

Jiang Xiuqi said, “In a league battle, it’s very difficult for the sprites to cooperate perfectly, but tactical arrangements are more important than team battles. This is because the battle rules aren’t simple. You can’t win just by eliminating the enemy.”

“Did you see the tower and those few circles? The tower represents the core base. Every tower has a gate. Once their tower is invaded, that side will be defeated directly.”

“But unless the disparity is too great, as long as there are sprites guarding the door, it’s difficult to break in.”

He paused for a moment. “Those areas with circles around them represent resource points. Every minute that they occupy a resource point, that team can gain an additional point, if they completely defeat an enemy sprite, and gain an additional 100 points. However, the duration of the competition is only three hours, and the winner is usually determined by score. Do you understand now?”

Su Hao understood right away.

Unless the disparity was too great, who would be in charge of guarding the tower and who would snatch the resource points? It was either teaming up or splitting up… There had to be a suitable strategy.

Tactics would also have to be developed based on the characteristics of the sprites.

But he still felt that the rules were a little complicated. He was used to either being reckless or hiding.

“That’s actually a simulation of the real battlefield situation.”

“The real situation?”

“I almost forgot that you’re only a first-year student.” Jiang Xiuqi looked up at the sky and laughed. “Maybe you’ll have to wait until next year, or until you reach Master-level before you come into contact with it. You’ll know then, hahaha…”

He laughed dryly and changed the topic. Suddenly, he was stunned. His eyes gradually widened as he stared at the sprite above Su Hao’s head in shock.

“You, you, that… that sprite?”

“It’s, it’s extraordinary-level?!”

His voice was a little dry, and there was thick disbelief in it.

How long had it been!

A while ago, he was just thinking that it would be such a pity if Junior Su Hao’s Reverie Butterfly couldn’t evolve and could only stay at elite level for the rest of his life. But who would have thought…

A contemplative look appeared on his face. He recalled that a few days ago, he had heard someone discussing the discovery of another new evolved form. It seemed to be called… called…

“Butterfly Fairy is the evolved form of Reverie Butterfly?!”

“Yes.”

Su Hao suppressed the urge to laugh wildly with his hands on his hips. He wasn’t a big boss yet, he couldn’t be complacent.

He changed his mind and asked, “By the way, Senior, can I still challenge the members of the school team now?”

“Err…”

Jiang Xiuqi thought about it. “You have to rank in the top 30 of the special training camp.”

Su Hao waved his wristband.

Regarding his ranking, after passing the “Third Level of the Real Illusion” and “500% completion of the exploration of the ruins”, even if he only completed one mission assessment, his ranking had risen to 19th place in one go.

The elite of the special training camp!

Jiang Xiuqi: “…”

“Because the school team has already started the team battle exercise, so… you have to win with a relatively obvious advantage. I estimate…”

“Let’s ask the instructor!”

In fact, he didn’t have high hopes for Su Hao.

After all, that Butterfly Fairy had broken through to the extraordinary level only recently.

As for the school team, even if they were only the trump cards of the substitutes, all of them had spent at least a few months at the extraordinary level.

The accumulation was different.

But he also thought that Junior Su Hao was improving rapidly. There was still a long time until the High School League will start. When the league starts, Junior Su Hao’s strength would definitely increase greatly. It wasn’t impossible for him to surpass the substitutes.

“Instructor Ma, what do you think?”

“According to the rules.” Instructor Ma looked at Su Hao. “You can issue a challenge, but you have to have an obvious advantage in order to replace the substitutes. Besides, the opportunity can only be given a month before the league at the latest.”

Su Hao’s eyes moved up and glanced at Butterfly.

He asked Butterfly what it thought.

Butterfly made a fist with its little hand and raised it high. “Gurgle ~”

…

During the intermission of the team battle exercise, Instructor Ma called someone over.

One of the school team substitutes, Zhou Mingze.

The target that Su Hao was preparing to challenge.

“What, you want to challenge me?”

At first, he was surprised, but after understanding the situation, he sneered in his heart.

A sprite that had just reached extraordinary level.

Yes, its battle power was extraordinary, but which Whale Island University student’s sprite had ordinary battle power?

He wanted to teach his naive junior in front of him to be a down-to-earth Sprite Trainer.

Zhou Mingze had a senior-like warm smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and said, “Please.”

…

The two rode their flying sprites and landed on the empty field, facing each other from afar.

The atmosphere was tense, and it could break out at any moment.

Outside the field, some students were observing the sand table or admiring the handsome guys and beautiful girls, when they suddenly realized that someone was going to be challenged again.

“The person challenging is… Hey hey? Junior Su Hao?!!!”

The black-haired and tall Senior Tan had just shifted her gaze to the other handsome guys. After comparing, she still felt that Junior Su Hao was more handsome, but when she turned around, she discovered that her junior had disappeared!

After looking around, she saw her junior appear in the field.

Moreover, as a challenger!

Shock: The handsome Junior Su Hao is actually a low-lying master-level Sprite Trainer!

The tall senior looked at that figure in the distance and was immediately smitten.

…

On the empty field, Su Hao was riding on the back of the Dumb Unicorn.

He looked towards the distant figure.

Butterfly Fairy’s abilities were mysterious and unknown, while the data of Zhou Mingze’s ace sprite had already been analyzed by the interface.

He had told Butterfly everything.

The intel of both parties was not on the same level at all.

Su Hao apologized in his heart, but he analyzed it with his own abilities, so he felt at ease.

There was no need to feel guilty about fighting for fame, status, and resources.

“Well, who asked Butterfly and the others to improve so quickly. Even if they don’t earn money, they won’t be able to last with tens of thousands of credits.”
