Chapter 309: Talent From Everywhere, Su Hao Makes an Appearance (1)

In the second stage of the competition, there were more than 200 master-level Sprite Trainers, all of which were capable of getting into the sky. At this moment, they all flew up and scattered in the sky, outside the “abyss” at the boundary of the arena.

On the ground, towards the direction of the city, a few Mountain Moving Apes carried equipment over.

On the huge display screen, human heads flashed. After a few seconds, they stopped. Two backgrounds, one red and one blue, appeared. They were separated diagonally.

On the red and blue background were two pictures of two contestants cut off at the waistline.

The Sprite Trainers high in the sky could see it clearly just by relying on their own eyesight.

Those who couldn’t see clearly, also had methods such as “Sprite Commandeering: Visual Sharing”. They weren’t going to fly down to take a closer look as that would be embarrassing…

They were contestants, but they were also prominent figures in their respective territories.

“The first one seems to be Fiery Bird University’s instructor, Xiang Zhengxin.”

“The second person… I don’t know him. Oh, right, it’s Huang Liyuan from the Huang family of Sprite Trainers! I heard that he’s only 25 years old. He’s gotten quite far for his age.”

“25 years old…” Someone shook his head.” 25 years old is nothing. There are people here today who aren’t even 20. ”

“Su Hao, a second-year student of Whale Island University, is less than 20 years old!”

“What the…!”

“But he’s still not the youngest!” A Sprite Trainer dressed in white who was good at collecting intelligence, stalled for a bit before slowly saying, “The youngest is Lan Qing, a second-year student from Dragon City University. Although she’s also a second-year student, her actual age, according to my understanding, is under 18.”

“Gasp… this is truly a world of geniuses!”

The young man in white continued, “Of course. After all, we are competing with all the Sprite Trainers in the world for the Sprite Trainer inheritance slot. Youngness can only represent potential, it’s their strength that really matters…”

Su Hao heard a familiar name.

He also found the young man in white who was speaking a little familiar.

He remembered that he had met him before during his trip to Ghost City.

“He looks a little similar to Mr. Bai. I think his surname is also Bai?”

“You’re talking about the one in white?” The young man with the stubble who was riding an Armored Dragon Hawk and flying at the side looked not far away and said, “He’s from the Sprite Trainer Bai family, and very likely the next family head.”

“Family Head?”

“The family head is not only the head of a family, but he also controls some unique family resources. With the size of the Sprite Trainer Bai family, as long as Bai Xiaoming becomes the family head, he will definitely break through to the Heavenly King Tier.”

At this point, two Sprite Trainers, Xiang Zhengxin and Huang Liyuan, entered the arena from both sides.

They hid themselves and moved through the forest.

Before long, the battle erupted.

Bang!

Rumble!!

Giant waves sent trees flying, the ground cracked, soil and rocks flew, thick smoke and dust filled the air, covering everything.

Whether they could pass through the smoke and dust to observe the battle situation would depend on… their respective methods.

On the other hand, the young man with the stubble was struggling to find out what was happening.

“Damn it, I can’t see anything! It’s good that I can fly closer!”

There was a faint light reflected in his eyes. Clearly, he was using “visual sharing”, but although the Armored Dragon Hawk’s vision was strong, it couldn’t see through.

Besides, it was very far away and he also couldn’t get too close.

Su Hao could only console him. “Don’t worry, both of them are weaker than you.”

The young man with the stubble :”…”

He didn’t feel comforted at all, just even more sad.

“Why don’t I help you broadcast the battle situation?”

The young man with the stubble :”…”

I’m trying to do you a favor! What a strange guy…

Su Hao continued to watch the broadcast.

In his mind, an illusionary scene unfolded like a water screen.

In the smoke and dust, a stone giant roared while a Tyrant Bear raised a sandstorm.

Tide-Calling Spring Sprite stood in the vortex, the light of the Clear Jade Lotus shrouded the Sprite Trainer.

It was an image he collected with Butterfly’s observation device.

“Their abilities seem to be similar?”

One of them was beating another person.

But there was no clear winner even after three minutes, and both sides suffered damage. In Su Hao’s opinion, they were similar in strength.

If it was Su Hao fighting the battle…

“Dazed Crow can kill either side in 30 seconds… After all, both of them are better than…”

He glanced at the person next to him. They were both weaker than the young man with the stubble.

Then…

It must have been deliberately arranged.

After all, if the difference in strength was too big, there would be no opportunity for the weak to showcase their abilities. The stronger party would also not be able to unleash their full potential.

In the battle with the stubbly youth, the Dazed Crow had only used 70% of its strength.

After the battle, the two master-level Sprite Trainers left, leaving behind a damaged battlefield.

Soon, the next battle began.

The second round…

The third round…

The fourth round…

After many rounds…

The arena was limited, after all. Every round of battle only lasted three to five minutes.

In a day, more than 200 people would be able to complete their first round of the battle.

During this period, Su Hao had been using the “Butterfly’s Battlefield Observation Device”. Butterfly’s vast spiritual force covered the battlefield, its furry antennae received the signal, and then it used its illusion attainments to turn the signals into an image.

It was like a crude TV. However, it was still far from being able to create perfect, realistic images.

“Gurgle~?”

Are you looking down on my abilities? Gurgle…

Not important!

After fighting one battle after another, it seemed Su Hao’s estimation was more or less correct. The contestants were “random” paired with opponents on the same level.

But there were also exceptions.

“It’s the Sword God!” Bai Xiaoming said. “He comes from a very special sect, ‘first-rate in human and spiritual integration’. And the Sword God is the best of the younger generation of this sect, famous for his swordsmanship… I’ve long known that he’s very strong, but I didn’t expect him to be so strong!”

The opponent of the Sword God was a Sprite Trainer with a mature appearance, much stronger than the young man with a stubble.

His team battle system was very mature.

The cultivation level of sprites was also extraordinary high-level, which was very close to being the best among the contestants in the Supernova Cup.

Boom!!!

A slash cut through the mountain. A resplendent golden sword beam cut through the layers of mountain rocks, slashing across the body of a huge mountain beast that was five to six stories tall despite its outstanding cultivation and strong defense.

Instantly…

The golden sword mark pierced through the Mountain Giant Beast and emerged again from its back. The Mountain Giant Beast let out a sad cry and fell heavily to the ground.

The figure holding the longsword swayed and appeared hundreds of meters away.

“Sword Master!”

It was the name of a sprite.

The Sword Servant in its initial form was just a sword. The final evolved form, “Sword Master”, was a shadow holding a long sword. There were three sword-shaped shadows behind it, pointing inward.

At this moment, the shadow of the Sword Master shrouded the man named “Sword God”.

He held the golden longsword in his hand with a cold expression. An invisible sword aura was released, and everywhere it passed, just the aura alone severed mountain rocks and plants.

He only had one sprite, “Sword Master”, but still managed to dominate the whole battlefield as he had masterful control over his sword.

In just less than a minute…

Golden sword beams crisscrossed as powerful extraordinary-level sprites fell with a boom.

The judge announced the results.

Domination!

“Too strong!”

The young man with the stubble was dumbfounded.

Bai Xiaoming also concluded, “He will definitely be able to qualify. Moreover, there’s a high chance that he will be able to get a spot for the inheritance.”

The battle continued.

During this period, Zhu Dong, Yang Deyu, and Gu Feiyang, who had hopes of qualifying for Whale Island University, also took the stage one after another.

Two wins and one loss.

Instructor Zhu Cang lost to a descendant of a sect… But it didn’t mean that he had no hope of qualifying. Both of their abilities were high among the people who went on stage.

The differences could be easily determined from battle power and aura.

Among the 200-odd people, the difference between strong and weak was very obvious!

“But the abilities of Instructor Zhu and Instructor Yang Deyu are still rather uncertain.”

At this point in the battle, apart from the Sword God and a few others who possessed overwhelming strength, there were also some who were in between qualifying and not qualifying.

The fate of these contestants were on the hands of the several Heavenly Kings and big bosses.

Or they could go through a few extra battles…

Apart from the instructors of Whale Island University, unexpectedly, Su Hao actually saw another person who looked slightly familiar.

It was a person with red hair, riding a Flaming God Hound into the arena.

“It’s the arrest officer ‘Xia’.” Not far away, Bai Xiaoming’s voice came again. “In the Crimer Bureau, many Sprite Trainers address each other by code names. The level of information confidentiality is very high. I only heard that ‘Xia’ seems to be the daughter of a certain Heavenly King, and her abilities are pretty good.”

At this moment…

In the arena, the Flaming God Hound roared. A Cinder Dragon with wingspan of seven to eight meters circled in the sky as it spat down large amounts of flames.

Cinder Dragon, Flaming Divine Hound, Crimson Flame Nine Tails… There were only three extraordinary ones on the stage, but they were a fierce batch.

Flames rushed into the sky, illuminating the whole sky. It only took a minute and a half before the opponent was forced to admit defeat.

“Another person who’s definitely going to qualify! Ke was in the top 30 among us but even he couldn’t last long!”

The arrest officer, Xia, won easily. After a few rounds, as expected, another slightly familiar person appeared.

Xia’s partner, Lin.

“Back then, I didn’t seem to see how strong they were either…”

It was mainly because they had arrived late that day, and the arrest team that was defeated by Black Spade K was very weak.

Su Hao didn’t expect that they would also be at the top level in the second stage of the Supernova Cup.

“‘Xia’ s strength is about the same as Instructor Gu. ‘Lin’ is slightly weaker, but both of them are younger than Instructor Gu…”

Of course, compared to Su Hao, they were all older girls.

Lame.

Lin’s sprites all more or less leaned towards the support and healing type.

There was the Miraculous Physician, the Apothecary Rabbit, and the Clear Jade Lotus.

Apart from the Clear Jade Lotus, the other two were rare sprites.

The Apothecary Rabbit was an upright human-shaped rabbit. It held a wooden staff in its hand, and a gourd hung on its staff.

At this moment, the gourd flew up high and hung in mid-air, emitting waves of brilliance, maintaining the Clear Jade Lotus at its peak state at all times.

The Miraculous Physician was also in human form. Its white clothes fluttered in the wind, and it held a silver needle in her hand.

It was a healing type, but its destructive power wasn’t weak. With a flick of its white fingers, silver needles flew out. Instantly, thousands of needles rained down, falling like a rainstorm.

It had good defense and could heal very quickly… Even though the time taken for ‘Lin’ to win was slightly longer, it was still a steady and stable fight and she defeated the enemy with an obvious advantage.

When the two of them form a team, the power they can unleash is indeed very scary.

As time passed, it was already afternoon.

The battles became more and more exciting as it approached the end.

Inside the arena, the ground shook, lava flowed and waves were raised. The battle environment of the next round was completely determined by what had happened in the previous round.

The arrest department, the exploration department, the command department… He discovered that many top-level Sprite Trainers came from these departments.

There were also descendants of sects and young masters of clans.

Aside from the trainers from high school, the people from the Association of Sprite Trainers everywhere were also pretty strong.

As for unaffiliated Sprite Trainers? Those who could reach the second stage of the selection were already doing pretty well.

“Next, ‘Lan Qing’ against ‘Sikong Yue’,” the judge shouted.

Lan Qing sat on the Storm God Hound and rushed into the arena.

The battle erupted in an instant, and the Wind Domain enveloped them. Almost instantly, the aura of the Storm God Hound, Mist Feather Swallow, Wind Giant Spirit, Flying Python… The auras of the wind-element sprites increased exponentially, sweeping up a strong wind like blades, and the brilliant heavenly might pushed forward.

Whether it was fire, water, lightning… none of them could withstand the gray storm.

Layers and layers of the land were scraped off!

Her opponent used various methods to resist and counterattack, but was quickly suppressed.

In just dozens of seconds, Lan Qing won in a crushing manner.

The terrifying heavenly might made everyone continue to be flabbergasted.

“She’s only 18!”

The young man with the stubble had originally thought that he would have a chance at seizing the qualifying rights of Dragon Nation.

Now that he saw the others, he finally understood that the others were all monsters!

Monsters younger than him!

The Flaming Spiritcrow that had completely tortured him was very strong, right? But the storm in front of him was almost like a natural disaster, it was even more terrifying!!

The stubbly young man’s confidence was almost destroyed.

At this point, the judge’s voice sounded again.

“Next, ‘Su Hao’ battle…”
