Start With Contracting Sprites

The young man was rather famous in this battle club.

He had the title of "Noob Torturing Expert".

But it wasn't a good title.

The young man had an entry-level Flaming Bull, but he never fought with other official Sprite Trainers. He only fought with newbies who had yet to reach entry-level.

To put it nicely, it was called a coaching battle.

Sprite Trainers who had been in the club for a long time all knew that the young man's level of command was very limited. The high winning rate was purely because he could crush his opponent in an entry-level against an entry-level battle.

Experienced trainers wouldn't fight with youths at all. Only newcomers who knew nothing would be fooled by the words "coaching battle". On the battle stage, they would be beaten black and blue by the entry-level Flaming Bull.

Yet, this suited the rules of the battle club very well.

As long as it didn't kill the sprite, everything else was fine.

The surrounding Sprite Trainers whispered among themselves, revealing traces of sympathy in their gazes towards Little Fire Crow.

No matter how strong it was, it was still just an entry level sprite.

Moreover, it had just fought four rounds.

It was simply impossible to be a match for that Flaming Bull.

It would be better if the Little Fire Crow surrendered earlier, but if it didn't do that in time, it would probably be trashed very badly. Even if the Little Fire Crow could be cured, it might probably be traumatized by the experience.

A Flaming Bull about the size of an ordinary cow, entirely red-brown in color, stepped onto the arena.

Flames were burning at the tip of its two red horns. As the Flaming Bull dug the ground and gathered its strength, the burning flames became more and more intense.

"Flaming Bull, spray flames."

"Yeee—"

Its front hooves were raised high and its mouth was wide open. Raging flames gathered, forming a thick pillar of fire that spewed out.

Whoosh…

Orange-red flames shot straight at Little Fire Crow, which was flying in mid-air.

However, this kind of direct flame spraying was less of a threat to Little Fire Crow as compared to the three Energy Balls from the previous round. It just flapped its wings slightly and dodged the flames.

The surrounding Sprite Trainers shook their heads.

"As expected of an expert at demolishing noobs, this level of command…"

"But it's still entry level after all, and furthermore they are both fire-element, it's already in an invincible position at birth."

Indeed…

As they spoke,

Taking advantage of the fact that the other Sprite Trainer was linking up unique skills and wasn't giving commands, Little Fire Crow used its specialty, Fire Feather Needles, to test the waters.

Flaming feathers formed by spiritual force instantly whooshed down.

It enveloped the Flaming Bull, which had its eyes closed.

"Yeee—"

The Flaming Bull was in pain. It was angry, and the flames on its horns grew bigger.

"Look, other than making the Flaming Bull angry, what else can Little Fire Crow's attack do?

"The difference in levels is too big. It can only barely break through the defense. This is not something that can be made up for with the level of command."

"By the way…" Another person suddenly spoke." Did any of you realize that the arena lord hasn't given any orders since the beginning? "

"Err…"

This reminder made the others recollect their memories.

Indeed, Little Fire Crow was fighting alone.

Its Sprite Trainer didn't even say a word. Where did he get his confidence from?!

Masaka…?

The weak damage of the Flaming Needles made the young man's heart settle. "Although your sprite is pretty good, it's still too weak in front of my Flaming Bull."

"Now, let me teach you the real combat method. Charge forward and spray flames!"

Little Fire Crow finally had nowhere to dodge with the attack of the flames that were sprayed out in a fan shape.

In a head-on collision, even the Flaming Needles couldn't win against the flames that the entry-level sprite had scattered all over the sky.

It spread its wings skillfully and wrapped them around itself to block itself from the scattered flames.

At this moment…

The Sprite Trainer of the Flaming Bull didn't give any order, but it caught the opportunity itself.

Taking advantage of the fact that Little Fire Crow was wrapped in its black wings and couldn't move, it sped up and leaped forward.

Unique skill—Charging!

The Charging skill executed by the Flaming Bull was stronger than the chubby Silkworm Baby.

Its two bull horns burst into flames, covering its Charging skill with a coat of fire. It then bumped into Little Fire Crow's wing defense.

The hard black wings appeared very weak under the Flaming Bull's momentum-boosting collision.

Crack!

The feathers shattered like porcelain pieces. The Flaming Bull's momentum didn't slow down at all as it crashed into the core of Little Fire Crow's wings.

Boom!

Black feathers flew everywhere.

The young man burst into laughter.

But the laughter stopped abruptly.

He looked towards the arena. The Flaming Bull had smashed Little Fire Crow into pieces, but the feathers that were scattered all over the place regrouped into the figure of Little Fire Crow not far away.

"What...is this unique skill?"

"It's a stand-in, Feather Substitute! A very advanced unique skill!"

After all, this was a battle club. There was no lack of knowledgeable people who could tell at a glance.

But it made the audience even more surprised.

They looked at the figure standing with his hands behind his back. He was still calm and collected, but they saw him sigh slightly, as though he was not very satisfied with the performance of his sprite.

You're not satisfied even with this?!

Su Hao was indeed not very satisfied.

If it had been under his command, he would have let Little Fire Crow rush out of a gap amidst the fan-shaped flames with a fireball just now. With Little Fire Crow's flying ability, it was entirely capable of passing through the narrow gap.

It shouldn't have gone head-on with its Wing's unique skill. This in turn forced it to use Feather Substitute, its trump card, later on.

He commanded, "Use that move."

"Squawk!"

Faced with the Flaming Bull which used "Flaming Spray" again, Little Fire Crow made his move.

After using Steel Wings, Little Fire Crow forced itself to endure the fan-shaped flames and charge out. Tiny burn marks appeared on some of its feathers, but Little Fire Crow did something that surprised all the spectators.

It didn't retreat far, but instead, charged straight at the Flaming Bull!

As it got closer and closer, the Flaming Bull also charged towards it.

In an instant…

Little Fire Crow, which was flying like an arrow, swayed its body. Black feathers flew everywhere and it splitted itself into three!

It nimbly dodged the Flaming Bull's charging momentum. The three figures went up one on the left and one on the right, as its black wings slashed down like blades.

At that moment.

Blade light flashed swiftly like shadows!

Black blade shadows were everywhere, surrounding the Flaming Bull completely.

It was as if the grim reaper was after its life.

A moment later…

Two of Little Fire Crow's unstable feather clones shattered with a bang, scattering countless black feathers all over the ground.

As for the Flaming Bull, it let out a painful cry and knelt on all fours. It rolled out of the arena with the momentum of its Charging skill before hitting the edge of the place.

Wounds could be seen evidently on its body.

Little Fire Crow spread its wings and flew in the air, its loud cry announcing its victory.

It was over.

The whole place was silent.

Neither of the judges reacted.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the audience breathing after taking in a deep breath made the scene return to its clamor.

The young man was in disbelief.

He had beaten so many weak sprites, but today, he had been defeated by a sprite that had yet to reach entry level.

"Why… How can an entry-level sprite be that strong? He cheated!"

No one paid him any attention. There was even faint mockery.

The young man couldn't stand it anymore and left hurriedly.

Little Fire Crow used up a lot of energy in this battle.

But no one came to challenge him anymore.

The few official Sprite Trainers in the crowd didn't want to lower their own standards for a mere 10,000 yuan to take advantage of others' misfortune.

For a period of time, no one challenged Su Hao so it was tacitly agreed that he had successfully defended the arena and would be able to get back his deposit and reward.

During this period of time.

Su Hao decided to observe other battles.

Just as he was about to walk down the command tower, the young man, who had just left hurriedly, returned.

He brought along a man whose looks resembled him a little, but appeared much more mature.

"Big Brother, it's him! Take revenge for me!"

The man shook his head in disappointment, but still pressed the challenge button amidst the booing from the people around them.

Bringing along a Blade-Armored Crab that was also entry level but had a much stronger aura, he walked onto the arena.

Level Suppression!

Attributes countered!

Little Fire Crow even got injured!

No matter how one looked at it, it was a battle that would make people laugh, a battle where the strong bullied the weak.

"I only look at the results." The man's expression remained unchanged, completely unaffected by the audience.

Su Hao also sighed.

Since that was the case…

Reverie Butterfly, Reverie Butterfly, your rest time is gone.
