Chapter 162: Li Songting and the Master Hound
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Beep, student card.”
“Congratulations, student Su Hao, for completing a B++ level mission. Mission Rating: Excellent.”
“Mission reward: 500 credits, Cla.s.s B resource exchange certificate x1.”
It was morning when he left.
It was only dusk when he returned.
There was still time for dinner.
A rare-level mission was completed.
To Su Hao, the most precious thing was probably witnessing extraordinary battles.
And experts among the extraordinary.
“The symbol of extraordinary-level is elemental control. The higher the level, the wider the range of control…”
Su Hao found a corner in the mission hall and sat down.
He opened his wristband and searched for treasures that he could exchange for.
[credits: 923, Cla.s.s B Exchange Certificate × 1]
This was all he had gained in the past two to three weeks.
Su Hao found it too little.
After all, there were too many credits rewarded during the challenge segment.
He opened the exchange list.
[High-level Spiritual Fruit (All attributes): 3 credits / 100,000]
[Wood Pith Spiritual Liquid: 2 credits / 60,000]
[Spirit Jade (1 kilogram): 2 credits]
[Elemental Spiritual Fruit: 10 credits]
[Heart of the Sun: 600 credits, Cla.s.s B Exchange Certificate × 1]
[Water Source Energy: 550 credits, Cla.s.s B Exchange Certificate × 1]
Su Hao pondered.
High-level spiritual fruits could increase a sprite’s attributes. He exchanged six of them with a flick of his hand.
The Elemental Spiritual Fruit could nourish the sprite’s vitality. While raising its spiritual force, it could also slightly increase its potential.
The effects of consuming it over a long period of time does not lose out to the Heart of Attributes.
He exchanged for 12.
He bought another few dozen kilograms of spiritual jade.
He paused for a moment on the final two treasures that were added to the shopping cart at the end.
“The Heart of the Sun is the same main ingredient for the Flaming Cloud Crow’s best evolution plan… It can even change the characteristics of the Flaming Cloud Crow through evolution.”
“Water Source Energy is also very important, especially for the current Water Unicorn Beast.”
An interface appeared in front of Su Hao.
He opened the list of sprites.
[Water Unicorn Beast (entry-level limit)]
[Characteristics: Torrent < click to view >]
[Unique skill: Water Arrow, Water Curtain, Charging, Trampling, Water Bullet, Water Dragon’s Roar, Wave Treading, Bubbles Defense, Water Path, Cloud Steps]
[Profound: Treading Waves]
[Others: Water Unicorn Bloodline (10%),…]
[Cultivation Plan:…]
[Water Unicorn Beast → Water Unicorn (Evolution Plan) < click to expand >]
“The evolution requirements of the Water Unicorn Beast are very high. Other materials and attributes aside…”
After all, it wasn’t a native water unicorn. One of the prerequisites was “bloodline concentration > = 30%”. At the moment, the Water Unicorn Beast was still very far away.
“The most direct way to increase the concentration of the bloodline is to find that water unicorn.”
But that was impossible.
Where could he find it?
“The rest can only be stimulated by various environments and treasures… And when breaking through levels, the stimulation effect is the best.”
Su Hao thought about it and bought the Water Source Energy first.
Otherwise, it would be very awkward if the Water Unicorn Beast didn’t fulfill its evolution requirements when it reached the extraordinary level in the future.
“The evolution requirements of the Flaming Cloud Crow have been met, but it’s better to delay for a while.”
“The requirements for Reverie b.u.t.terfly’s evolution are still a little lacking. It’s best to wait until it reaches the elite-level limit before evolving.”
He waited for a while, got up, went to the window at the other side of the hall, and received the items he had just bought.
He b.u.mped into Bai Hongzhen, who was similarly a spendthrift.
When he saw Su Hao, he asked, “How many credits did you get from the mission?”
“500.”
Bai Hongzhen instantly fell silent and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
He also gave up on the plan to challenge Reverie b.u.t.terfly.
“Cultivate for another month. One month later, I must challenge Su Hao’s sprite!”
“The men of my Bai family will never admit defeat!”
He took the items and walked away without a word.
Su Hao was puzzled.
…
Student dormitory area, Lakeview Court.
Once they got back, Reverie b.u.t.terfly quickly flew to the second floor.
A moment later, he flew back with a cell phone in his arms.
“Gurgle, gurgle!!”
It was very anxious.
Its eyes seemed to be misty.
Su Hao took it and took a look.
There was a moment of silence.
The little rascal called out even more urgently.
“This cell phone… It’s out of battery.”
“Gurgle… there?”
Reverie b.u.t.terfly’s eyes turned to o((⊙_⊙))o.
It let out a long sigh of relief and went to charge its cell phone.
At this moment.
Ding-dong!
The doorbell rang.
Without needing Su Hao’s instructions, the Water Unicorn Beast leaped out with a “Neighhh”. It raised its hooves and pressed onto the switch of the garden gate.
The person who walked in shouted at the top of his voice, “Su Hao, let’s have a hot-blooded battle!”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He heard the loud voice and knew who it was.
He peeked out carefully.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
The Li Songting in his eyes was stronger than before, but… it was alright, he didn’t become a big muscular man.
Behind Li Songting was a Sprite Master Hound.
It evolved from the Ascetic Dog.
His gaze was sharp and filled with oppression.
With one look, Su Hao knew that it was much stronger than before.
…
Ten minutes later.
On an independent battle stage in the school battle hall.
Liu Ren, who had appeared out of nowhere, stood at the judge’s seat, holding the judge’s flag in his hand.
“Contestants from both sides, please bring in your sprites.”
Li Songting’s dog head… Ah, no, his Master Hound walked onto the stage.
Like an old master who had been on the battlefield for a long time, its breathing and freqeuency of muscle trembling were maintained at a very good state.
“Interesting.”
Su Hao brought in his Flaming Cloud Crow.
Li Songting had specially specified.
He said, “Only a battle of muscles is hot-blooded enough. Unfortunately, Su Hao, you don’t have a sprite that’s good at head-on collision.”
“But your Flaming Cloud Crow’s battle style is also pretty good. Why don’t you learn from my teacher and become a Muscle Crow?”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He saw that the Flaming Cloud Crow was actually a little tempted.
What the h.e.l.l are you thinking!
Flaming Cloud Crow danced in the air between the sprites.
The Master Hound’s legs parted slightly.
The battle began!
Li Songting ordered, “Come, Old Su, I’ll show you the results of our two months of cultivation.”
“Master Hound, explosive form!”
“Woof…”
It let out a low cry.
With a bang, its muscles bulged and expanded rapidly.
The Master Hound, which was originally only 1.67 meters tall, had actually become a Muscle Hound more than 2 meters tall with explosive muscles!
Apart from the dog head that didn’t change much, one couldn’t tell that it was a Master Hound just by looking from its neck down!
Even the Mountain Moving Ape wasn’t that strong!
“It took two months to complete the explosive form with the medicine provided by Teacher.”
“Today, Su Hao, experience hot blood!”
Muscle Master Hound suddenly stomped on the ground, and a circle of cracks appeared on the ground. Countless gravel flew up, as if they were frozen in mid-air.
And it had already rushed out.
It hit the air and circles of ripples spread out.
“What the f*ck!?”
Liu Ren screamed.
Su Hao’s eyes also widened.
“Is the explosive form the secret manual that Heavenly King Bu mastered?”
His eyes kept sweeping towards Li Songting.
Could it be that… Li Songting had also mastered muscle form?
How could it possibly maintain its normal size after cultivating with Heavenly King Bu for two months!
“Feather Subst.i.tute!”
Muscle Master Hound’s speed was too explosive, it appeared in front of the Flaming Cloud Crow in an instant.
A sandbag-sized fist blasted out, exploding through the air.
Rings of air waves spread out.
The Flaming Cloud Crow’s body was smashed into pieces by the fist, and countless black and red feathers floated down.
The Flaming Cloud Crow appeared more than ten meters away, orange flames burning on its body.
Stacked layer by layer.
It was like a flowing coat of fire draped over its body.
“Squawk…”
It cried loudly.
Its figure split into three and fell.
Red flame shadows pounced towards the Master Hound from three directions!

PS1: After flipping through the chapters at the front, I’ve decided to change the name of the evolved Flaming Cloud Crow to “Flaming Spirit Crow”. This is alright, right…? I mainly want to keep the suffix “Crow”.
PS2: The fourth sprite should be a medium or large-scale sprite. Those that can fight head-on… I haven’t thought of it yet.
PS3: So today, I can only keep my bottom two chapters, but I still want to ask for a ticket or something (๑ ‘▽’ ๑).
