Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 337: Heavenly King Wu Is Shocked Again

After the battle ended, Su Hao returned to the top of the cliff.

In front of Su Hao was the Heavenly King Lie Kong, who was surprised and wanted to say something but couldn’t say it.

The members of the Dragon Nation team opened their mouths wide in shock.

And also… the Sprite Trainers from the various countries, who had already turned into sculptures in the wind and were frozen in their shocked expressions.

Even Su Hao…

No, Su Hao was used to it. He was used to it.

It was just that the young Sprite Trainers of the Golden Eagle Federation had slightly different expressions. Their faces revealed… a kind of disappointment that one felt when one’s faith had collapsed.

“Speaking of which, the Sun Son is indeed very strong. He proved to be worthy and I almost lost. It was too close!”

Bai Xiaoming, who was passing by: “???”

He looked at the Fire God Soldier, Thunderous Pig King, and the other sprites that were carried away. Then, he looked at Su Hao’s energetic sprites who were either playing with their phones or snacking as they got off the field. He couldn’t help but reveal a puzzled look.

…

After resting in the City of Glow for two days, on the third day, the inheritance slot was officially announced.

The scores for the six rounds of assessment were based on different weightages. It was said that many Heavenly Kings quarreled for two days before they finally came to a decision.

Dragon Nation, Su Hao.

Golden Eagle Federation, Adolf.

White Bear Nation, Bella.

Bull Nation, Antonio.

Japanese Nation, Taro.

Golden Eagle Federation, Miao Lin.

Dragon Nation, Lan Qing.

There were a total of seven people. Even though the Sword God’s performance during the Elemental Lake assessment was pretty good.

But…

His assessment scores in the previous few rounds were slightly lower, and his total score was ranked ninth. In the previous batches, the ninth place might also be able to obtain the inheritance slot, but this year, there were only seven spots.

He could only regretfully be eliminated.

The only consolation was that Li Jianxuan was less than 27 years old this year. He still had one more chance to snatch the inheritance slot at the next Supernova Cup.

And the success rate for him was very high.

After all, after three years, the seven of them, who had received the inheritance, would no longer be able to participate in the next Supernova Cup. With Li Jianxuan’s martial strength and various abilities, the legacy slot was basically guaranteed for him.

“If no top-notch geniuses appear in the next three years.”

Li Jianxuan, who had just been comforted, suddenly staggered.

After pausing for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and asked, “…How long since you contracted your sprites?”

This question…

Su Hao rubbed his chin, his thoughts returning to the summer back then.

“It’s probably been… two and a half years.”

One year from high school and another one and a half years in university…

Su Hao was only a sophomore in University!

Su Hao was clearly a newbie Sprite Trainer, but he was already doing things no one his age should be doing.

Li Jianxuan :”…”

He grunted and turned to leave, but his gait seemed to stagger.

…

Whale Island University, Ten-Thousand Wood Manor.

Not long ago, Heavenly King Wu had just destroyed a certain elite team from the Dark Society that attempted to destroy a World Entrance in Dongyun Province. There were even two Dark Society officers among the team.

With pseudo monarch strength, he chased after it for a long time.

After busying himself for a few days, he finally returned to his nest. Heavenly King Wu immediately collapsed on the sofa. After a while, he sat upright again and took out a comb to tidy his hair.

“The Dark Society must have received intel on several World Entrances that weren’t recorded in the Union!”

The New World, or rather, the Spirit Summoning World, was currently estimated to be a continent according to the Union.

It was a vast and boundless continent.

The positions of the links of each entrance were very far apart, but… that was only for ordinary Sprite Trainers. With the ability of a Heavenly King, they could move very freely in the Spirit Summoning World, so flying thousands of miles wasn’t impossible.

“But these people from the Dark Society are crazy, and they must have spies in the Union’s higher-ups! After all, a few mere cadres wouldn’t know the location of the World Entrance at all.”

Heavenly King Wu suspected that even some high-level cadres weren’t aware of the locations.

The entry coordinates were only in the hands of a few people.

The Dark Society naturally had the ability to send Sprite Trainers across the border without being detected.

“These guys are like cockroaches. They can’t be killed and are crazy. Can’t they just learn from Thousand Grace Sect and God’s Hand and stay out of trouble?!”

Of course, the size of the two organizations, the Thousand Grace Sect and God’s Hand, wasn’t necessarily inferior to the Dark Society. It was just that they didn’t cause much trouble, but once there was any commotion, it was usually a big deal.

“How can we eradicate these terrorist organizations…”

Heavenly King Wu thought for a moment and tried to come up with an answer.

He couldn’t think of anything.

Therefore, he stopped thinking about it. If he thought too much, it was easy for him to lose his hair, especially at his age.

“Little junior, little junior, when will you take over my responsibilities? I want to retire and enjoy life.”

Heavenly King Wu brushed his hair. “Speaking of which, at this time, the Supernova Cup should be almost over. I wonder how Little Junior’s results are?”

He took out his cell phone and opened Su Hao’s name in the contact list, then shook his head.

“This is inappropriate. There are many geniuses from various countries in the Supernova Cup. Little Junior must have suffered a blow this time. I shouldn’t disturb him.”

Heavenly King Wu looked through his phone. In the Heavenly King’s Moments, he found an old friend.

This old friend was Heavenly King Lie Kong.

After exchanging pleasantries, he asked about Su Hao’s situation.

“Oh, first place… Wait!

“The first place you’re talking about isn’t first place in the provincial league, not first place in Dragon Nation, but… first place in the entire Supernova Cup?”

Heavenly King Wu was a little dumbfounded.

The expression on Heavenly King Wu’s face changed from “Oh” to “Ehh” and then to “What the f*ck” in an instant.

He had to slow down.

Then, he thought about it carefully.

He didn’t doubt Su Hao’s talent and strength. It was also a certainty that he would qualify from the Dragon Nation competition area. Therefore, getting first place in the entire Supernova Cup was very normal… like hell it was!

Back then, he had also participated in the Supernova Cup and knew very well what kind of monsters his competitors were!

“This little junior is a little too strong!”

Heavenly King Wu thought.

Then, he saw another message from Heavenly King Lie Kong,

“I forgot to tell you, Su Hao didn’t just get first place. He crushed the second place, Golden Eagle Federation’s prodigy, Sun Son, in all aspects, including head-on confrontations.”

“You’re Su Hao’s senior. You should have expected this long ago. There’s no need for me to go into too much detail.”

The contents of the messages echoed in his ears.

His thoughts slowly faded.

In the Ten-Thousand Wood Manor, a middle-aged man holding a cell phone looked like he was petrified.

…

Tiannan Province, the president’s office of the provincial guild.

Heavenly King Yan was browsing the results of the Supernova Cup.

He didn’t know much about Su Hao’s strength. However, he had been paying attention to the situation.

Until just now, when the final slot was out, he saw the first name among the seven inheritors.

Heavenly King Yan couldn’t help but laugh. “Good! Good! Good!”

He smiled broadly.

Although with Su Hao’s excellence, it was likely that Su Hao would ever work in the province, but still…

Su Hao was still someone from Tiannan Province.

Heavenly King Yan called his subordinate over. “Go, increase the level of protection for Su Hao’s parents by another level!”
