Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 245: My Points Are Short (First Update)

“So there’s a special training camp selection today?”

In the group chat of the Four Little Heavenly Kings of An City, Su Hao didn’t remember what day it was until he was mentioned.

Liu Ren: “???”

Liu Ren: “Butterfly God is already extraordinary-level. It’s pretty strong even among the third-year students, right? Old Su, you actually don’t know about the special training camp? This doesn’t make sense!”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

He deleted the words he was about to type and typed another line.

“I’m already a member of the special training camp. Didn’t I mention this before?”

Liu Ren,”…”

Li Songting was rendered speechless.

Gu Lingyao was speechless.

Butterfly: “╭(╯^╰)╮”

Under Liu Ren’s urging, Su Hao arrived at the battle hall in the special training area.

At this point, there were a lot of students in the hall. Su Hao glanced around but couldn’t find who he was looking for.

It was Butterfly who used the unique skill Spiritual Perception to find the familiar spiritual waves of Big Face Liu and the other sprites.

“Hey, hey, hey. Ah Hao, when did you pass the special training camp selection? You actually didn’t tell me and abandoned me. Sob, sob, sob!”

Without batting an eyelid, Su Hao took a step back. “Are you all here to participate in the selection?”

“No.” Liu Ren’s pancake face drooped. “Only Old Li got the right to participate in the selection. We are all spectators.”

Su Hao glanced at their sprites.

Because the Lava Dragon Turtle was too big, it was difficult to bring it here. He didn’t see it.

Gu Lingyao’s Tide-Calling Spring Sprite was almost at the limit of elite-level. It was pretty outstanding in the cultivation aspect, but it had very little mastery of profound meanings, not even a secret manual.

Its battle power was one level weaker than its limit.

Su Hao felt that he had to think of a way to cheat for his An City’s friends again.

He saw the Master Hound sitting cross-legged in a corner. Its eyes were closed, but he could vaguely feel that its aura was extraordinary.

It made Su Hao take a few more looks.

“Your Master Hound is pretty good. Its battle power under muscle mode can be ranked among the upper limit of elite-level, but your other two sprites…”

A Punching King Kangaroo was an advanced elite-level.

A Martial Monk Panda, a first-stage evolved form, only at the initial-stage elite-level.

Compared to the extreme battle powers of two or three of that of the third-year students, they were very weak.

So Su Hao could only give mental support. “Press on, Old Li!”

…

Rumbling sounds kept coming from the boundary of the battlefield.

Su Hao sat on a chair in the corner, ate iced watermelon, and watched the battle very comfortably.

“Gurgle~”

Butterfly was also eating iced watermelons. It was eating watermelons with the size of a Barbie doll. In its words, when it was small, the watermelons would be big. No matter how much it ate, it would be very happy.

At this moment, a boy in a white T-shirt walked over.

“I remember you, neighbor.” Su Hao recognized Mr. Bai.

“I heard that your Reverie Butterfly has evolved. That’s good, let’s meet at the special training camp.”

Bai Hongzhen said with a confident smile on his face.

He had already understood. He still treated Su Hao as a strong opponent, but he no longer cast all his attention on Su Hao.

He wasn’t as persistent as before.

After he finished speaking, he walked past the crowd to the battlefield. After showing the challenge certificate, he said to an instructor, “I want to challenge!”

Then, he turned around and looked at Su Hao again, giving him a provocative look.

Su Hao also looked at Mr. Bai and mouthed:

“Come on, I’m optimistic about you.”

…

There were more than 200 people who had obtained the rights to challenge at the special training camp. They were competing for the 51 slots that had been emptied out after the fourth-year students had graduated.

With so many people, the selection method was naturally different from his time.

It wasn’t a one-on-one PK battle to determine the winner, but a group of old special training camp students acting as the arena defenders. As long as the challengers could hold on for a period of time, they would pass.

After selecting the first batch of members, if there were still vacant slots, the difficulty of the arena defender would be lowered further. If the number of people who successfully completed the challenge was higher than the number of vacant slots, then the instructors would give a temporary ranking according to the battle performance of each student.

Those whose rankings were lower could challenge those whose rankings were higher until the final slots are determined.

Su Hao was also an old special training camp member, but he couldn’t accept the mission of being the arena defender even if he wanted to.

Both the Dazed Crow and the Big Fat Bear were evaluated as sprites with maximum battle power +++++. With one slash or slap, the challenger would be gone. How was he to test the quality of the sprites?

Su Hao could only sit at the side and watch the battle while eating melons.

After seeing a lot of students being abused in fancy ways, he found it very exciting. He also summoned Big Fat Bear, Dazed Crow, and other sprites to eat melons together. He took it as giving his few sprites a holiday.

From watermelons to melons, and then to nuts.

Because there were a lot of people in the selection and it had been a long time, Su Hao also ate a lot of melons.

They ate from morning till afternoon, and even had lunch in between.

“Old Li, what a pity.” Liu Ren took a bite of the watermelon and said, “If you were a little stronger, you would be able to squeeze into the top 51.”

At this point, the special training camp selection had not ended, but Li Songting had challenged the two people who were temporarily ranked around 50 and lost.

Compared to the sprite team of the two seniors, he had shortcomings, and his overall battle power was somewhat lacking.

On the other hand, Mr. Bai actually ranked 25th at the last minute. He should be the one ranked closest to the top among the freshmen.

Well, Su Hao consciously excluded himself from the freshmen.

He didn’t participate in the special training camp selection anyway!

Bai Hongzhen was ranked near the top. No one challenged him, but he frowned. He swept his gaze across and saw Su Hao eating melons in the corner. He couldn’t help but step forward.

“Why haven’t you challenged yet?”

“This… I can’t go on stage.”

Bai Hongzhen frowned. His gaze swept across Su Hao’s sprite, then looked at the sprites of those people on the field.

Even though he hadn’t paid attention to Su Hao in a while.

But just based on the battle power displayed by Su Hao’s sprites during the collective training, they would more or less be able to secure a spot in the special training camp.

Did he… offend the instructor?

He thought about it, and saw a pancake face swallow the melon. Then, he wiped his mouth and said, “Don’t you know? Su Hao is already a member of the special training camp. Let me recall, he passed the assessment last semester.”

Bai Hongzhen: “Last… last semester?”

He had been paying attention back then, but he actually didn’t know?

His gaze changed again.

There was surprise, seriousness, and strong battle intent.

“I didn’t expect to be left behind by you again, but I’ll catch up!” He asked again, “After the fourth-years graduate, there are only 49 people left in the special training camp. Then your ranking can at least be in the 40s, or has it already reached 30 to 20s?”

As he spoke, he stared at Su Hao’s handsome face, wanting to get an answer from Su Hao.

An answer that could ignite his fighting spirit and drive him to chase after it.

Then, he saw Su Hao shake his head. “Ranking? I’m really not too sure. I haven’t checked after the fourth-year seniors graduated.”

He tapped his wristband and worked on it.

After a moment, he looked a little disappointed. “My score isn’t enough…”

Only 40-odd?

“No, Su Hao has always been humble. If he says so, he could still be in the 30s. It’s very difficult for me to catch up… But it’s precisely because it’s difficult that my fighting spirit is aroused, right?”

Bai Hongzhen thought about it and heard a sentence. His brain shook, and his voice echoed in his ears.

“It’s a little short of the first place.”
