Start With Contracting Sprites

To be honest, Su Hao had never thought of becoming the youngest Master Sprite Cultivator at all.

He had only made a small contribution to the Union by spending two months researching a thesis, so how exactly did he end up becoming… the youngest master?

Su Hao thought about it and recalled the masters he had seen.

Indeed.

They were either old or bald.

There was no one as young and handsome as him.

"Well, I have to take it easy. I can do experiments, but I have to be careful not to lose my hair… Speaking of which, hair loss usually comes from stress, and I haven't…"

"During the whole experiment process, I don't think I came across any hard problems that gave me much stress…"

In fact…

Among the younger generation of the Union, there were quite a lot of Sprite Cultivators who were rich in knowledge. However, in order to become a master, apart from having to publish enough research papers, the most important thing was the influence of the research papers and the contribution the papers made to the Union.

In other words, even if a Sprite Cultivator had dozens or hundreds of Sprite Cultivator research results, they would at least need one heavyweight research result before they could be recognized and promoted to a Master Sprite Cultivator.

But heavyweight research was not at all easy to produce. It also often took many years. Naturally, there were very few among the younger generation who could match up to well-known experts. On the contrary, young Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainers were easier to be found.

At this moment, Su Hao checked. Eleven years ago, a young Sprite Cultivator from the Golden Eagle Federation obtained the title of master when he was 26 years old.

Five years ago, a Sprite Cultivator from Dragon Nation also advanced to a master at the age of 26 and beat the Golden Eagle Federation's record.

And now…

He had broken the record by a whopping six years!

"However, apart from strength, luck is also very important for heavyweight research. For example, right now, I don't have any valuable research clues in my hands. I can only wait for the top-notch event in the Sprite Cultivation World…"

Just as he thought of this, a long cry sounded in the sky outside the window.

There was a parcel for him! Now, he could understand what the other sprites were saying even without Butterfly's translation.

But…

"I don't think I bought any packages?"

At this moment, Butterfly had also gone to cultivate on its own for a long time. Apart from Su Hao, Ah Yan was the only one left in the whole villa. Su Hao had no choice but to push open the door and walk out himself. When he looked up, he saw a big green bird circling in mid-air, "Coo coo".

This big delivery bird was a "East Wind Falcon", the evolved form of the Sprite Mission Bird, and was also at its final form. The feathers of the East Wind Falcon in front of him were bright, and green swirls of wind surrounded it… It was an extraordinary.

It was carrying a small box with its claws.

Seeing that Su Hao had come out, the East Wind Falcon flapped its wings and slowly flew down. With its right claw, it skillfully untied the packaging box held on by its left claw, then lifted it up with a gust of wind and allowed the box to slowly float down into his hand.

At a glance, one would be able to tell that he had done this many times before.

"Coo? Coo, coo!"

The East Wind Falcon was saying that the delivery was meant for Su Hao. This delivery needed to be opened by him personally. It flapped its wings and turned into a green stream of light, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Su Hao :"…"

The box in front of him was only the length of a shoe. There were many exquisite patterns engraved on it, and faint energy was coming out.

He knew that this was a restriction, almost a miniaturized version of the barrier technology.

The power on it wasn't strong. Most of the energy was probably used to detect or self-destruct.

After looking at it for a while, Su Hao stretched out his finger and pressed on the smooth opening at the top of the packaging box. Instantly, with a click, the exquisite little box opened, and a gilded invitation letter appeared in his eyes.

It was the invitation to the seminar!

It was the seminar that was to be held in November, the seminar that was considered as the best in the Sprite Cultivation World!

At this moment, since he had already advanced to master, Su Hao finally received the official invitation to this seminar. His name was in the invitation, and it also mentioned in the invitation that he could bring three additional people.

"I didn't expect the invitation to be delivered by express delivery."

Just as he thought that, the wristband vibrated.

It was an email with the invitation to the seminar. It also mentioned that the official invitation would be delivered in the form of an East Wind Falcon package.

But…

"Is the network slow or was the East Wind Falcon just too fast?"

…

During this period of time, talk of the Fallen Evolution spread rapidly in the circle of middle and upper-level Sprite Trainers.

Su Hao's reputation as the youngest Sprite Cultivator also shocked many older and more promising Sprite Cultivators.

But the specific influence among ordinary people might not be as strong as the discovery of Silkworm Baby's third pathway back then.

Firstly, advanced evolution was too complex for ordinary people and ordinary Sprite Trainers to easily grasp.

Secondly, it was also due to the protective measures of the Union.

Only qualified Sprite Cultivators were allowed to read the complete Fallen Evolution research paper. The core knowledge points were the arrangements and selection of materials for the Fallen Evolution Ritual.

That was the key to whether a sprite could complete the Fallen Evolution.

What Expert-level Sprite Cultivators and high-level Sprite Cultivators could browse through were mostly parts related to the paper's basic theory. These were very helpful to Sprite Cultivators who studied the path of evolution. They could even be referred to as evolution textbooks, but just this knowledge alone couldn't set up a complete Fallen Evolution ritual.

This was the Union's way of keeping high-level knowledge confidential.

Naturally, it was still impossible to completely defend from the Dark Society's spying.

In Europe…

In a gloomy castle, dark blue flames burned faintly. One could vaguely see a few figures sitting around the huge round table in front.

"This man cannot be left alive."

"At such a young age, he has already developed a heavyweight research paper, the Fallen Evolution. If he's given a few more years, who knows what he will come up with. The potential threat is too great, this person must…"

A hoarse voice echoed in the spacious room.

At this moment, another person said, "Elder Snake, this young Sprite Cultivator isn't weak as well. According to the information I've gathered, he once participated in the Union's Supernova Cup and qualified for the Dragon Nation. Although I'm not sure of his ranking in the inheritance battle, to qualify for the Supernova Cup from a big country like Dragon Nation, he definitely has the battle power of a high-level master."

"Well… for him to be able to enter the Supernova Cup finals at such a young age, it's very likely that he'll become a big general of the Union in the future. That's another reason to kill him."

The person in charge of collecting intelligence continued, "According to my investigation, this person's more commonly visited places are Whale Island University and Dragon Nation's Tiannan Province… We don't have the ability to assassinate him within Whale Island University, and even Tiannan Province…"

He paused for a moment and said, "With the strength this Su Hao displayed, it's very difficult to kill him even with our experts. At the very least, we need the officers to take action. But in Dragon Nation, there aren't many officers that we could use. Besides, not many officers are willing to take on such an assassination mission."

In the Dark Society, the bottom-level might be filled with lunatics who weren't afraid of death.

But many Sprite Trainers of the middle and high levels didn't have much loyalty to the Dark Society. They only stayed because of benefits.

They were eager to do things that came with high benefits.

But how many fools would be able to reach the level of an officer if they easily gave up their lives for a few missions.

It might not be difficult to assassinate someone in Dragon Nation, but it was very difficult for an assassin to leave safely after the assassination. No officer was willing to exchange their own lives for the success of the mission.

At the thought of this, the whole room fell into a dead silence.

After a while…

The Elder Snake's hoarse voice finally rang out. "Whether it's training his sprites or experimenting, it's impossible for him to stay in Dragon Nation all the time. Find an opportunity and send someone to settle it when he leaves Dragon Nation…"

"Remember to pry out the key information about Fallen Evolution from his mouth first."

The hoarse voice echoed, and the dark blue flames gradually extinguished.

The whole castle quickly fell into dead silence again.
