Chapter 47: The Look of a Heavenly King

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Getting the result slip for the final exam at the end of the semester wasn’t the end for Sprite stream students. More intense preparations were still ongoing.

During the recent period, the school had no compulsory training classes, and many Sprite stream students went to the battle halls. Every day, about a dozen or even dozens of battles could be seen.

As compared to the public battle area of Sprite Square, the battle hall of the square had a better environment.

There were a total of four battlefields inside, sufficient to meet the demands of Sprite stream students. An City First High’s battle hall was also the grandest building inside the First High campus.

At this moment…

On one of the battlefields…

“Master Tortoise, spray flames!”

On the field, Liu Ren ordered with a high voice.

Little Charcoal Tortoise sprayed out fan-shaped flames with an angle of 30 degrees upward.

Countless flames dropped down, surrounding the Metal-Element Sprite on the opposite side of the field, a Golden Pangolin.

This kind of sprite looked very much like a pangolin. Its whole body was dark golden, its scales reflected the sunlight.

The Sprite Trainer of the Golden Pangolin was the strongest in Class Three. He had once been defeated by Liu Ren in the battle for the Four Strongest in First High but only by a slight margin.

Golden Pangolin was at a disadvantage against the Little Charcoal Tortoise due to their elements.

“Roll!” he shouted.

Upon receiving the order, Golden Pangolin bent its body and rolled forward, its speed getting faster and faster.

It dodged most of the flames. The occasional sparks falling on it bounced off its rapidly turning body.

The boy from Class Three looked full of confidence. “I’ve already figured out the way to break this move of yours… bump up, attack with claws!”

A figure that looked like a metal wheel approached Little Charcoal Tortoise immediately.

Nevertheless, Liu Ren’s face didn’t change the slightest.

He was heard saying, “Fire Ball!”

Many huge fireballs were spewed out of the Little Charcoal Tortoise’s mouth, and hot flames struck Golden Pangolin, which was approaching directly.

The boy from Class Three had no time to give orders, nor to use Sprite Commandeering.

With a rumble, there was a burst of flames.

A charcoal-back figure flew out of it, struggled for a few times, and couldn’t move anymore.

“Golden Pangolin!”

He hurriedly ran forward, then looked at Liu Ren and Little Charcoal Tortoise. “How did you… improve so much?!”

“Guess.”

Liu Ren revealed an annoying smile.

On the bleachers…

Old Gu held a thermal bottle and took a sip of his herbal water. He couldn’t help but praise, “Liu Ren is improving fast. He can probably have a pretty good performance during the combat practice this time as well.

“I heard that Su Hao designed the cultivation plan of Little Charcoal Tortoise? It’s awesome, amazing.”

…

“Achoo!”

“Who’s praising me now?”

In a corner of the battle hall, Su Hao held Silkworm Baby in his left hand and Little Fire Crow in his right. He quietly watched his classmates’ performance and had no plans to go into the field.

After all, the life of the strong was so lonely and dull.

“Old Su, I completely trampled that guy from Class Three!”

Liu Ren’s loud voice came from afar. Soon, he was seen walking out of the passage.

Su Hao’s mouth twitched. “Wasn’t that a given?

“The cultivation level of your Little Charcoal Tortoise has far surpassed his Golden Pangolin, it’d be shameful if it lost.

“So, I want to challenge you.”

“Challenge me? Big Face Liu, Big Face Liu, you’ve inflated.”

“Gurgle!”

Silkworm Baby very much agreed.

After waiting for about a dozen minutes for Little Charcoal Tortoise to recover, the two found a battlefield.

Liu Ren’s Master Tortoise was already on the field.

Su Hao thought about it and asked, “Which of you are going?”

“Gurgle~”

Silkworm Baby shook its head.

“Then, Little Fire Crow, it’s you.”

“Squawk!”

Little Fire Crow flew out very excitedly.

Liu Ren froze a little upon seeing it. “Why is it Little Fire Crow?”

“If you underestimate Little Fire Crow, you may lose very badly.”

Liu Ren’s mouth twitched. “It’s only been two months, how can Little Fire Crow’s cultivation level possibly surpass my Master Tortoise?”

“It is lower in cultivation level indeed, but…” Su Hao smiled. “Sprite battles aren’t solely about the strength of spiritual force, the usage of unique skills is also very critical.”

Presently, Little Fire Crow’s spiritual force exceeded 100, but it was still a bit far behind Little Charcoal Tortoise.

However, this was the only aspect it was behind on.

Under Silkworm Baby’s supervision, Little Fire Crow had been undergoing extremely harsh training daily.

It had wanted to resist but couldn’t beat Silkworm Baby. Now that it had an opportunity to battle against other sprites, Little Fire Crow couldn’t help being excited.

Su Hao felt that he should give Little Fire Crow a chance to showcase itself, so he said, “Just fight in your regular ways.”

On the opposite side…

Liu Ren’s look was focused.

“Master Tortoise, we can’t lose this battle!”

If Su Hao had sent Silkworm Baby for the battle, he wouldn’t have expected to win. But Little Fire Crow had only been contracted for two months, and its cultivation level was lower than his Master Tortoise.

In Su Hao’s words, it’d be shameful if he lost!

“Spray flames!”

He used the same move as before, but this time, the flames sprayed by Little Charcoal Tortoise were even higher.

The whole field looked like there was a rain of fire, raining upward.

Even though Little Fire Crow was also fire-element, it would still suffer significant damage in the rain of fire.

However, Little Fire Crow didn’t dodge in the face of countless fire sparks coming its way at all. Instead, it flipped its wings, and countless black feathers dropped like flying needles.

It was Feather Needles!

Upon contact with the sparks, the feathers started burning brightly, yet they were actually not burnt up, but became flaming feathers, pushing aside the splashing flames. Then, they closed in toward Little Charcoal Tortoise with no reduction in momentum.

“What!?”

Little Charcoal Tortoise had already retreated into its shell instinctively.

Flaming feathers fell onto the tortoiseshell, producing crisp, clanging sounds.

“Very good, this is it, after the flaming feathers pass—”

Liu Ren gave orders, but before he finished speaking, all the flaming feathers had already changed their directions. They no longer fell with an inclined angle but spun with a curvature.

Flaming feathers hit on one corner of the tortoiseshell, making it stand upright—its weak spot was exposed in the air!

The flaming feathers took the opportunity to fall and hit right on the spot.

It forced Little Charcoal Tortoise to stretch its body out again and regain balance against the flaming feathers’ attack.

Little Fire Crow had already approached. Flames started burning on its claws, which became a huge, flaming claw.

It hit right on the face.

Bang!

“Little Charcoal Tortoise lost its fighting ability.”

The student who passed by announced the result, giving Liu Ren a sympathetic look at the same time.

Liu Ren hadn’t yet recovered from being dumbstruck.

He lost just like this?

He felt a bit unwilling to accept it.

Little Charcoal Tortoise had yet to showcase anything.

Still, he carefully thought about it and realized that he had lost before Su Hao had even made commands himself.

He had no grievance.

No wonder Su Hao let Little Fire Crow on the field so confidently.

Such difference…

Liu Ren was a bit agitated.

On the bleachers…

“That was…?” Old Gu was shocked. “He actually turned Feather Needles into Flaming Needles, and it had such control abilities!”

“Not only that.” Coach Xiong, who just walked over, said sternly, “This Little Fire Crow is very strong, and its speed is outstanding. Furthermore, it has a mature tactical system. And all these were achieved within a short period of two months.

“He has done the impossible time and time again. I think Su Hao… has the look of a Heavenly King!”
