Chapter 104: I’m Contracting It Now?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What the f*ck!?”
Four Energy b.a.l.l.s blasted out at the same time?
Luo Cheng wasn’t sure what level this Reverie b.u.t.terfly was at, but his White-Winged Moth… Well, it hadn’t even learned Energy Ball.
Feeling the extraordinary spiritual force contained in the few Energy b.a.l.l.s, the nonchalant look in the Cloud Water Dragon Horse’s eyes became more serious.
It stepped hard on the ground.
The surrounding moist air instantly turned into a water screen, blocking its body from the attack.
Su Hao noticed.
The water screen wasn’t spread evenly.
Some places were thick, while some were thin.
And the thick spots were precisely where the spinning energy b.a.l.l.s were eventually going to hit.
“This Cloud Water Dragon Horse… has very rich battle experience!”
The hastily casted water screen couldn’t completely block the Energy b.a.l.l.s, but it bought time for the Horse King.
Amidst the rumbling.
The Horse King charged out of the mist like a blue shadow. The Energy b.a.l.l.s behind it landed on the ground, blowing up dust and smoke all over the place.
That momentum was not much different from elite-level sprites!
The Horse King charged and opened its mouth. Water vapor gathered, and in an instant, a huge water ball shot out like a cannonball.
One after another!
It was the basic unique skill of the water element — Water Bullets.
However, through the Horse King’s mouth, they were like cannonb.a.l.l.s fired from a tank cannon. Both their speed and power were especially terrifying.
The White-Winged Moth was only hit by two water bullets before it lost its battle ability.
Compared to the White-Winged Moth, the cultivation level of the Reverie b.u.t.terfly was similar — it could only take one water bullet at most.
The difference was…
The White-Winged Moth did not have level nor battle experience and almost had none unique skills.
When facing the water bullets flying at it, it dodged in a panic and was. .h.i.t shortly later.
Within a few seconds, it lost its battle ability.
The situation now was similar to the previous battle.
But the ending didn’t go according to Luo Cheng’s script.
In his eyes, he saw the emerald green figure flash across, before a few water bullets pa.s.sed by in an afterimage.
It was completely unharmed.
“How is this possible!”
The elite-level Sprite Trainer next to him casted a glance at him. “How is it impossible? This Reverie b.u.t.terfly has obviously received professional evasion training, you just didn’t train your White-Winged Moth like that.”
After the injury of his Ground Wolf, his tone towards Luo Cheng also became a bit harsh.
“Neighhh!”
The water bullets fired by the Cloud Water Dragon Horse didn’t stop at all. The blue shadow stepped on the air and chased after Reverie b.u.t.terfly, lifting his hooves before stepping them down.
Before it could step down, circles of water ripples spread out.
Sweeping out like a shock wave.
Unique skill: Water Pattern Attack!
Against sprites like Reverie b.u.t.terfly who could dodge, but had a weak physique, the experienced Cloud Water Dragon Horse chose the most appropriate response.
“Gurgle!!”
The little rascal didn’t reveal the Eye of Nightmare, but instead, chose “Stunning”, the advanced unique skill of Roaring.
As the sound spread, the impressive mental power contained within it erupted.
It made the Horse King’s movements halt abruptly.
Instantly…
The little rascal flapped its wings and flew past the neck of the horse. At the same time, it spat out silk threads that wrapped around the horse king’s neck and pulled itself back.
When the Horse King trampled and bent down, it then tugged forcefully.
The silk threads became sharp in an instant.
They could easily cut off trees.
Before it could tighten its grip, the Horse King’s tail swung up. Waves of water, like blades, cut off the threads pulled by Reverie b.u.t.terfly.
The Reverie b.u.t.terfly flew up.
The Horse King landed on the ground.
Both parties switched positions.
Water vapor enshrouded the surroundings, and the ground was in a mess.
The two sprites looked at each other from afar.
“Cloud Water Dragon Horse is setting up the venue.”
Zhong Yunrui said.
He really didn’t expect Su Hao’s sprite to be that strong. After exchanging blows with the Horse King, it didn’t fall into a disadvantage at all.
In a short span of three to five seconds, they switched the attack and defense positions.
Be it speed, reflexes, or the usage of unique skills, they were all impeccable!
A strong entry level like Reverie b.u.t.terfly was rare.
It no longer seemed impossible to gain the acknowledgment of Cloud Water Dragon Horse.
Seeing hope, Zhong Yunrui was worried that Su Hao was inexperienced, so he reminded him.
At this moment…
After the Cloud Water Dragon Horse utilized countless unique skills, the ground became b.u.mpy, as water stains and water pits could be seen everywhere.
Mist filled the surroundings.
When the Horse King used its water-element unique skill, it was much more relaxed.
But in Su Hao’s eyes…
As the Cloud Water Dragon Horse displayed one unique skill after another, he got a clearer look at its information.
Unique skills, weaknesses, it had even received a “gift” from a powerful sprite.
All of those were revealed in his eyes.
Su Hao already had a plan.
…
On the empty lake sh.o.r.e.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the two sprites.
The Reverie b.u.t.terfly flapped its wings, raising hurricanes to dispel the misty water vapor.
The Horse King couldn’t wait any longer.
It stepped on the ground forcefully.
Waves roared and appeared under its hooves. The Horse King stepped on the water and stood higher and higher as the waves surged and shrouded towards Reverie b.u.t.terfly.
It locked its eyes on the little rascal with an imposing aura.
There didn’t seem to be any s.p.a.ce for Reverie b.u.t.terfly to dodge.
At this moment.
Reverie b.u.t.terfly’s eyes lit up.
The aggressive Horse King met its eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped.
The eyes of the Horse King kept enlarging.
It seemed to be looking at the figure of a certain sprite that it had seen before, a sprite which exuded a dignified and terrifying aura.
Even though it knew it was fake, it still couldn’t help but… take a few more looks.
The next moment…
Bang!!!
Bursts of pain came, as its body lost control and fell backwards.
The waves under its feet lost their momentum and splashed onto the ground.
The Horse King stood on the spot, in a daze.
After a long while, it raised its head and looked at the emerald green figure which was flying in mid-air, then s.h.i.+fted to look at the human standing at the back.
In the end, its gaze swept across the Water Spirit Foals, and lingered for a long time on a restless, antic.i.p.ating horse that was sitting in front.
It sighed.
“Neighhh!”
“Gurgle! ୧(๑•̀⌄•́๑)૭!”
Reverie b.u.t.terfly spun two rounds in the air before flying in front of Su Hao, stretching out its little hand.
Su Hao generously gave it a few red notes.
The little rascal was very happy with the small amount of money it just received with its hard work.
That wasn’t a waste of its hard work.
After being happy for a moment, it suddenly froze.
It didn’t have a wallet, nor have any place to hide its money. Wouldn’t Su Hao still have to…take back those few red notes for safekeeping?
Why was it like this?!
While Reverie b.u.t.terfly was still stunned, Su Hao walked towards the horses.
With just one look, he saw the Water Spirit Foal that was obviously stronger than its own kind.
— Not to mention the hidden bloodline evolution pathway, just the fact that it was birthed by the Horse King meant that it was naturally a level higher than its peers.
Of course, no matter how high its potential was, it still needed nurturing and training guidance before it could show its strength.
Su Hao put down his backpack and prepared to take something out.
Suddenly…
That Water Spirit Foal came running over happily, somewhat impatient.
It seemed to be afraid that its own kind would s.n.a.t.c.h its spot.
It ran to Su Hao’s feet, pulled at the ends of his pants, and raised its hooves high. It immediately sucked his finger with its mouth.
It hurt a little.
The next moment…
An intimate soul connection was connected between the human and the sprite.
Su Hao was a little stunned.
That’s it?
I haven’t unlocked basic cultivation yet.
I haven’t took out the secret weapons that I prepared in my backpack.
But how did it succeed?
Could it be…
My charm has already crossed the boundary between humans and sprites?
Su Hao thought about it. This was probably the only possibility.
…
Beside the woods…
An elite Sprite Trainer withdrew his gaze. “Let’s go.”
“Oh, okay.”
After witnessing everything, Luo Cheng, who was a bit stunned by the blow, regained his composure and said, “I’ve already thought about it. I’ll find a sprite that is easier to contract.”
“Contract? No, we’re going back to the camp.”
The Sprite Trainer of the Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle said.
The Ground Wolf is already injured, and you still want us to accompany you to find a sprite?
Tsk!
Look at that person over there, look at his sprite!
He’s just a high school student, and even a mid-level Sprite Cultivator at that!
What was disparity?
This was disparity!
He shook his head, waved his hand to command the Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle to lead the way and left the place.
His mind was already pondering over how to get familiar with that high school student.
After all, such a figure could very likely become a big boss in a few years.
