Start With Contracting Sprites

In the Green Shade Supermarket activity area, there were many spectators who stopped in their tracks.

It was very lively. Everyone's eyes landed on the two sprites in the arena, wondering who would win.

"Of course it's me!"

Golden Flame enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

Ever since he was young, he had been the child that parents loved. Whether it was learning or Sprite Commandeering, he had always stood out with the best results.

In fact, he had never lost a battle against Sprite Trainers his age.

Until…

A handsome young man and a sprite wearing a black robe and a crown appeared in his mind.

That battle was the biggest setback in his life.

But…

"I have to thank you. Without the crushing defeat back then, there wouldn't be the current me!

"Therefore, in the Supernova Cup, I'll defeat you with your strongest stance to return the favor!"

"And now…" He looked ahead.

A bear and its… controller.

It didn't matter who it was.

What was important was that he was going to reach the peak from here!

Golden Flame issued a victory declaration. At the same time, it used "Sprite Commandeering: Same frequency" to ensure its reaction speed. His gaze was sharp as he stared at the field.

Straight Punch! Flaming Punch!

He controlled it on the handle. Instantly, the Lava Giant on the field took a step forward and punched out with its huge rock fist. Raging flames wrapped around the rock layer, but it controlled it very well and didn't break the weak wristband.

It wasn't the Lava Giant's true attack, but it still contained terrifying energy.

"Even if an ordinary extraordinary can barely block the Lava Giant's fist, the sudden explosion of flames is enough to burn the wristband."

He was full of confidence.

In the previous rounds, there were also a few extraordinary sprites, but they were still weak against him and the Lava Giant.

If one punch couldn't KO, then two punches!

None of them could withstand the Lava Giant's third punch.

Among them, there was a Sprite Trainer who was also a contestant from a small country who was about to participate in the inheritance battle like him.

He still couldn't withstand more than two punches.

"As expected, only the top geniuses in the Supernova Cup are worthy of being my opponent."

In the arena…

Bang!

The Lava Giant threw a punch. At this moment, the Thunder Bear's wristband didn't light up, and it couldn't move yet.

When the fist came and was less than five meters away, the two wristbands of Thunder Roaring finally lit up with "dong dong" sounds. Instantly, the Big Fat Bear stretched out its arms. Countless lightning bolts gathered and turned into a bluish-purple semicircular shield.

Inherited unique skill "Thunder God's Shield"!

Butterfly was well aware of the Big Fat Bear's battle tactics. It would be difficult for it to unleash its true battle power if it attacked directly. For this reason, it chose a battle tactic that suited the bear—defense counterattack.

"A mere Thunder Shield…"

Just as a hint of disdain appeared under the Golden Flame's eyes, it suddenly paused.

The huge fist wrapped in flames didn't pierce through the thunder shield as he expected, but…

Boom!

With a tremble, exploding flames flew everywhere. Lightning arcs crackled and flashed. Not only did the semicircular lightning shield not shatter, but it even forced the huge Lava Giant back a step.

At this moment, from the smoke and dust, a bear paw shimmering with lightning suddenly slapped out, directly hitting the Lava Giant's arm.

It only took an instant for the paw to get close.

Under the "same frequency" state, Golden Flame quickly reacted.

The controller worked quickly, and the Lava Giant began to move.

Boom!

Flames and thunder collided and exploded again.

In the smoke and dust, thunder arcs spread out like snakes, breaking through layers of fire defense, and finally landed on the right arm of the Lava Giant.

With a sizzling sound, the fragile wristband shattered into two pieces and slid down, turning into ashes in the flames and thunder.

The Lava Giant's right arm wasn't injured, but according to the rules, this arm could no longer be used.

Golden Flame didn't have time to be surprised. Why was the ordinary-looking lightning able to penetrate the Lava Giant's extraordinary flames?

Fierce attacks came one after another like waves.

The Lava Giant, which had lost an arm, struggled even more. In just dozens of seconds, the wristbands on its left hand and the two anklets were shattered one after another.

His failure was subsequently announced.

"I, I lost just like that?"

Golden Flame, who was standing at one end of the arena, was still in a daze.

The cheers for the champion seemed to fade in his ears. All that was left in his eyes was the Thunder Roaring and its controller, which was also a sprite.

Without "same frequency", it was impossible to communicate telepathically, but he was actually defeated!

He was unsatisfied and disappointed.

"That's true. After all, this is the City of Glow. There are many hidden talents here. The Green Shade Supermarket's activity doesn't specify the age of the participants. It's normal to encounter big bosses."

In Golden Flame's heart, he had already categorized Thunder Roaring and the… butterfly fairy as Big Boss sprites.

The discomfort of failure eased a lot.

…

As night fell, all kinds of lights lit up in the City of Glow. They flickered and illuminated the whole city.

At the location, Butterfly, Dumb Unicorn, and the others had already returned.

Ah Yan crawled out of Dumb Unicorn's shadow. Under Butterfly's urging, its robe trembled and shook out…

Crash.

The spacious living room was immediately filled with countless boxes and shopping bags.

Some precious materials shone through the gaps, illuminating the whole living room and the quiet garden outside.

Su Hao: "???"

He couldn't help but look outside. It was very quiet. There were no ear-piercing sirens, and no helicopters pattering down from the sky.

So, where did they get so many things?

"Gurgle!!!"

Butterfly's cheeks were puffed up like a pufferfish as it stared at him with wide eyes full of dissatisfaction.

What it meant was: What kind of butterfly did you think I was?!

"No no, I wasn't thinking that…" Su Hao said immediately. "After all, you were taught by me. You must have the same integrity as me."

Butterfly: "???"

It was Butterfly's turn to be puzzled.

Looking at the pile of 'spoils of war' in front of it, its eyes curved into crescents. It went to split the money with Big Fat Bear, Ah Yan, and the others.

Dumb Unicorn: "Neighhh ~?"

…

After staying at the resort for three days, Su Hao went out with Butterfly from time to time.

Of course, the purpose was different.

He walked around randomly and bumped into some monarch ranks to get some Intelligence Points.

Butterfly was also very busy with its money-making operations.

When it came to making money, Butterfly was only a bit slower at making it compared to Su Hao.

"I heard that on the days before the Supernova Cup, various shops held so many activities to welcome the geniuses of the Union."

Butterfly called it the money-making season.

It was just that it didn't last long. On the fourth day, the 18 Sprite Trainers of the Dragon Nation team were gathered.

After following the Heavenly King Lie Kong and the other big bosses out of the Dragon Nation team's resting area, they saw geniuses from various countries.

Golden Eagle Federation, White Bear Nation, Bull Nation, Kangaroo Nation…

Unsurprisingly, he only recognized the flags of some countries. As for foreign Sprite Trainers, he didn't recognize any of them…

"Eh?"

Su Hao discovered a slightly familiar person. It was the former Golden Flame who he had defeated.

Golden Flame also happened to look over.

In his gaze, Su Hao saw a burning fighting spirit and confidence…

Golden Flame's gaze swept across the Thunder Roaring that stood upright behind Su Hao, and then fixed on the Butterfly Fairy that had shrunk countless times above Su Hao's head. It kept feeling that they were a little eye-catching…

It was the group that defeated him a few days ago!

He was really oblivious.
