Start With Contracting Sprites

After the "Holy Flame" comprehension assessment ended, the participants of the Battle of Inheritance received a day off.

On the fourth day, the fifth day…

More elemental assessments were given.

However, among elements such as water, lightning, earth, and metal…

Only some of the elements were tested. Elements such as thunder and water…

They were all related to the super treasures of the corresponding attributes, but Su Hao thought that those treasures were all slightly inferior to "Holy Flame".

The intelligence points required to unlock the other elements were also slightly lower.

There were also not many things that they could comprehend from the other elements. The time that Duke Andre left for them was shortened from 24 hours to 12 hours.

Naturally, with Butterfly's excellence.

And with Su Hao's extraordinary eyesight, analysis, and deduction abilities, the sprites each had their own gains. Their results in each round were also enough to rank some of them the top five or even top three.

The reason for the ambiguity was due to a lack of ranking given by the Duke Andre.

Apart from the first day of the soul power test where Su Hao was able to surpass everyone else with six different abnormal phenomenons, it wasn't certain that Su Hao came first in the other tests.

Especially the comprehension of "Holy Flames" the next day.

As a wood-element and illusion-element, Butterfly comprehended two characteristics. Although it could get a very high score, Sun Son's results were also very outstanding.

The comprehension of the three fire element sprites from Sun Son's team might be lower than Butterfly's, but it was higher than Ah Yan's.

Dazed Crow? It was even further behind compared to the others.

Sun Son himself also cheated by casting flames that could heal sprites. On that day, it was not easy to tell who among the two had better results.

In the third and fourth assessments, Sun Son was undoubtedly suppressed by Su Hao, but the Winter Singer from Russia, a girl with short brown hair and a strong aura, had also achieved good results.

Some nosy people gave a rough ranking.

First place: Dragon Nation, Six God.

Second place: Golden Eagle Federation, Sun Son

Third place: White Bear Nation, Winter Singer.

…

Eighth place: Dragon Nation, Wind Whisperer.

…

11th: Dragon Nation, Sword God.

…

The top three were in a stalemate. Many Sprite Trainers from the Golden Eagle Federation and the White Bear Nation did not agree with the ranking.

Su Hao didn't dare to be careless.

After all, in the top ten, other than himself, everyone else probably knew how to cheat. If it was a real-life PK, anyone could beat him.

If there was a specific ranking, he believed that even if he was first, his score wouldn't be much higher than the Son of the Sun and the Winter Singer.

Su Hao was naturally competitive and wanted to compete.

Moreover, every round of assessment was beneficial.

However…

"When did people start calling me the Six God?"

Why not just call me Six God Flower Dew!

Su Hao looked at a certain busybody, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Bai Xiaoming, the busybody, coughed dryly. "Well, you didn't have a title at first, and in the first stage, you showed six abnormal phenomenons with the demeanor of a great god. So, we came up with a plan to give you the title of 'Six God'. Don't you think it's very domineering? Foreign Sprite Trainers all praised it when they heard it!"

Could it be that Su Hao would have to be called the Six God Heavenly King in the future?

No, no, absolutely not!

Su Hao thought about how others would call him that in the future and quickly shook his head.

Besides…

According to his speculation, if he contracted a seventh or eighth sprite in the future, wouldn't he have to be called "Seven God" or "Eight God"?

"I haven't even thought of a title yet and I've already become famous. Sigh, how annoying."

…

On the sixth day, the fifth assessment.

It was a very conventional assessment, but it was beneficial to every sprite.

—Soul assessment.

"In front of you is an ancient battlefield."

Duke Andre pointed ahead at the ruins shrouded in fog and said, "As long as you step into the ruins, you will be subjected to mental torture. It's both an illusion and reality."

The Duke turned around and looked at them, saying, "The test of the mind is your heart, your will, and your soul. Don't think that you won't be affected just because your spiritual power is strong and your mastery of illusions is well developed. It isn't the same thing.

"Similarly…"

He paused and said meaningfully, "The protective barrier of Sprite Trainers can be affected by mental torture. The deeper you go, the stronger the pressure the ancient ruins put on your mind. You will step into the ruins with the sprites and move forward. The farther you go, the better you are. If anyone stops or can't hold on, it also means that they have failed."

"Now, is there a problem?"

"Um… Duke, if we fall into the illusion, will there be consequences?"

"The battlefield ruins can cleanse your souls. As long as you don't challenge it too much, there won't be any problems."

Duke Andre looked at the others. "Since there's no problem, let's begin. Find your place."

The battlefield ruins covered a wide area.

Hundreds of people and thousands of sprites scattered to various locations and came to the edge of the ruins.

Beneath Su Hao's feet was a smooth and neat stone slab.

Further ahead was the ancient ruin. Under the cover of the thick fog, some dilapidated walls could be vaguely seen. Bronze pillars were broken and collapsed, and bricks and tiles were shattered on the ground.

However, looking at it with the naked eye, it seemed no different from ordinary ruins.

Even if one used some extraordinary techniques to try to look past the mist, one wouldn't be able to see through it.

At this moment.

A young man not far away had already beckoned his sprite to enter the ruins.

The first Master Hound that stepped in instantly trembled. After a while, it took a step and then another.

The Death Locust that was flying in mid-air couldn't avoid being affected either. It fell from mid-air and twitched for a while before getting up and continuing forward.

At the same time, an ugly youth took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He froze.

Ten seconds later, he fell flat on his back.

Su Hao was speechless.

Was the test too difficult, or was the plain and ugly youth too weak?

Of course, it was the latter.

At this moment, many people had already taken the first step and stood firm.

Butterfly and the others also set off to scout.

Butterfly and Crow were still flying in the air.

"Boom!"

Su Hao took a step forward. In an instant, the scene in front of him changed rapidly like a slideshow. It was as if something exploded in his mind, making him unable to resist saying…

"That's it?"

"That's it?"

If he had to describe his current feeling, he would say that it felt as if a gust of wind had blown past.

It had no effect on him.

To draw a comparison, it was weaker than the pressure he faced when spending Intelligence Points to unlock information.

He was long used to it.

"In the beginning, the difficulty of mental torture lies in being caught off guard, but after getting used to it, you can at least walk a lengthy distance."

At this moment, someone took the second and third steps, and the time they stopped was getting shorter and shorter.

Su Hao didn't delay any longer.

Who knew if there was an end to this ruin?

He took firm steps forward, one step at a time. His powerful soul power resisted the impact of the mysterious power, and the chaotic illusions in his mind instantly shattered.

He walked faster and faster, pressing forward and leaving the other Sprite Trainers behind. He caught up with some sprites that were walking faster.

Then, he walked past the Big Fat Bear without stopping.

The Big Fat Bear: "???"

The Big Fat Bear: "Boohoo!"

It cried out, but it didn't dare to walk too fast. The continuous spiritual impact had already made its white and fat body sway a little. Even if it wore the Thunder God Battlesuit, it wouldn't help in resisting the mental torture at all.

The Big Fat Bear was about to cry.

It was like a pitiful child weighing thousands of pounds.

How embarrassing… Su Hao gave him a look and continued forward.

At this moment, the ones flying at the front were Butterfly and Dazed Crow. The previously humiliated crow wanted to save face and flew forward at a low speed. They were very stable and did not need to land.

It was a speed that Su Hao could not catch up to for the time being.

Suddenly, a golden figure appeared not far away and continued to walk forward.

It was Sword God.

He held the Sword Master in his hand and a faint golden light enveloped his body. He exuded a sharp sword aura and strode forward.

"The Sword God has always been very strong. If it weren't for his lack of sprites, his ranking would have risen by several places."

Su Hao continued to move forward at a speed similar to Sword God.

According to his estimation, he should have already walked a few hundred meters. Looking back, he could only see a figure not far away from him.

"Gurgle ~!"

Butterfly's cry came from ahead.

Su Hao looked over. The fog was even thicker. There were many figures stopping there.

Most of them were sprites, but…

On the left, Su Hao saw a familiar figure.

The figure also looked back.

It was the Sun Son.

Before long, footsteps came from the right, followed by a few sprites. The woman from White Bear Nation also followed closely behind.

There were also a few contestants with strong souls and willpower who appeared one after another.

At this point, the real test had just begun.

Su Hao paused for a moment and strode forward.

In the sky, Duke Andre's gaze passed through the thick fog and looked at everyone. "Which of you will be able to walk to the end?"
