Chapter 312: Golden Blaze, One Crow Challenges One Person!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The four Heavenly King-level big bosses led them to a battle hall in the base.
The s.p.a.ce in the hall was huge. Special materials were embedded in the high walls around it. Looking from afar, it looked like a crystal wall that could absorb energy.
This seemed to be the venue for the team battle.
The Heavenly King of Lie Kong said, “During the period before the inheritance battle, all of you will stay at the base for special training. During this period, you will receive a lot of resources, and even free high-level resources… These are the rewards for representing Dragon Nation in the battle for the inheritance.”
“But of course, we won’t just provide you with anything you want. Especially advanced resources and top-level resources. They will be given to you by our instructors according to the specific situation of your sprites. So… today’s internal battle will be carried out according to one-on-one rules. After we understand the details of your sprites, our instructors can also give you some constructive suggestions.”
“Now, summon your sprites.”
In the spectator area, sprites with extraordinary auras appeared one after another, and immediately became lively.
At this point, apart from b.u.t.terfly on top of Su Hao’s head and Ah Yan who was the owner of his shadow, Su Hao didn’t bring along anyone else.
Su Hao stretched out his hands and spread his fingers.
Dazed Crow and the other sprites appeared, tilted their heads curiously.
Why did he call them…
“Squawk?”
“Squawk!”
The depressed, droopy-headed crow, whose wings were still in a circular posture, raised its head in surprise. Its eyes widened, filled with surprise and excitement. Its dispirited aura was swept away, its feathers became bright, and there was a red glow circulating.
“Now, which of you wants to go first?” asked the Heavenly King of Lie Kong who had spoken the most out of the group.
In Su Hao’s opinion, the four Heavenly Kings were pretty easy to recognize, even for someone like him who usually couldn’t recognize faces.
The Heavenly King of Lie Kong was a fas.h.i.+onable middle-aged man, but what attracted the most attention was his straight hair that looked like a broom.
Heavenly King Duan Ya had a strong figure, giving off a steady and safe feeling. His skin was dark, and he was a Heavenly King who spoke little.
Heavenly King Chi Mei looked a little younger. Su Hao wasn’t sure about his actual age, but his aura was rather cold. His face and arms were white like a ghost.
Gong Ling… Shan Hu Heavenly King was a middle-aged woman who had taken good care of herself. Although she wasn’t that special compared to the first three, she was the only female Heavenly King.
“Speaking of which, the only female Heavenly King I’ve seen so far seems to be Heavenly King Gong… excluding the other ones I’ve seen on TV.”
He was still thinking when the Dazed Crow started urging him “Squawk.”
Its wings tugged at him, constantly gesturing towards the arena.
Many people looked over—they couldn’t understand what Dazed Crow was saying, but the sprites could.
Su Hao put his hand on his forehead. “Alright, I’ll be the first.”
He stood on one side of the Sprite Commandeering, while the Dazed Crow impatiently flew onto the field.
“You Flaming Spiritcrow, you have a lot of fighting spirit.”
The Heavenly King Lie Kong said with a smile. Then, he looked at the others and said, “Whoever else wants to go up, hurry up. After all, you all have to fight sooner or later.”
“I’ll do it.”
An ordinary-looking young man stood out.
Su Hao couldn’t remember the young man’s name, but he remembered that he was the heir of the Lightning Sect. This sect mainly consisted of thunder-element sprites and specialized in speed. Its goal was to nurture sprites to be as fast as lightning.
— He had seen their advertising slogan before.
As the successor, the youth with the crew cut was very strong. In the battles of the first and second rounds, his “Invincible Lightning Flash” gave his opponent a headache.
At this moment, the youth with the crew cut sent out his first sprite.
Lightning Leopard Cat.
Lightning arcs crackled around his body, and its meaty palms stepped on little broken steps, jumping from side to side, as if it was warming up.
Seated in the distance, the Heavenly King of Lie Kong in the audience seats acted as the judge and said, “Battle… begin!”
In an instant…
Sizzle—
A sharp electric cry rang out, and dazzling blue arc light flashed. The Lightning Panther’s entire body was wrapped in the lightning arc, turning into a blue shadow as it rushed out abruptly.
Like a bolt of lightning, its speed was extremely fast. In an instant, it rushed in front of the Flaming Spiritcrow flying high in the sky and tore down with its sharp claws filled with endless lightning.
If not for the sprite’s vision, Su Hao wouldn’t have been able to catch the figure of the Lightning Leopard Cat at all.
Even so, the sudden enlargement of the lightning in the “Dazed Crow’s Vision” gave him a fright.
He remembered that in the first round, the other party’s opponent was defeated at the speed of lightning.
But…
Dazed Crow had rich battle experience and was also more alert.
Dazed Crow didn’t let out a cry. Instead, scarlet flames started burning on its wings.
Red flames rolled, dazzling. A sun suddenly appeared, and red light slashed down on the leopard’s head.
Swis.h.!.+
The Lightning Leopard Cat, which flew over like lightning, suddenly turned 180 degrees in the air and landed on the ground again. Its eyes, which were shrouded by lightning, stared at the blazing sun in the sky.
Its reaction was very fast.
After missing its attack, Dazed Crow wasn’t depressed. Instead, it became excited.
It was a worthy opponent.
It wasn’t a good-for-nothing sprite like the others in the provincial compet.i.tion. With a “squawk”, the red flames became even more exuberant, like a blazing sun crossing the sky, dazzling and resplendent, emitting a shocking power.
Many people widened their eyes.
Heavenly King Lie Kong, who was sitting high up in the audience seats, also made a sound of surprise. “This Flaming Spiritcrow doesn’t look simple either. Just the power of the flames alone can probably envelop the whole field… Wait, it’s actually a close-combat type?”
Heavenly King Gong Ling glanced at him and said, “Didn’t you read the information on the 18 of them? There’s a recording of the battle footage of this Flaming Spiritcrow when it was still at the extraordinary level.”
“There’s no need.” There was confidence in the Heavenly King of Lie Kong’s words. “Based on our experience, as long as they showcase their abilities properly, it’s easy for us to give a detailed a.n.a.lysis and evaluation.”
Over the years, he had seen countless sprites.
There were also many juniors who had been nurtured by him.
Especially common sprites like the Flaming Spiritcrow, he had seen at least 80 if not 100.
There was no need to do any homework.
Suddenly, he felt that the way Heavenly King Gong Ling looked at him was a little strange…
It was probably nothing.
…
At this point, the battle on the field had already reached its climax.
The Lightning Leopard Cat turned into lightning and kept flas.h.i.+ng.
The raging red sun hung high in the sky.
The two sprites constantly probed, made moves, and dismantled moves. In just ten seconds, there were dozens of confrontations.
“Squawk…”
“Chase after it, Flaming Blade!”
The Lightning Panther was clearly faster, but n.o.body could tell. They only saw a dazzling sun chasing after the lightning, slas.h.i.+ng out countless red saber shadows.
The youth with the crew cut had an extremely solemn expression.
Its mind was already “in the same frequency” as the Lightning Leopard Cat. The lightning on the field was also constantly flas.h.i.+ng left and right, dodging the saber light that was getting faster and faster.
Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally…
Brilliant blade light gathered into a large net, enveloping the Lightning Leopard Cat.
“Charge forward and fight to the death!” The youth with the crew cut ordered in his heart.
Determination flashed across the Lightning Leopard Cat’s eyes, and crackling lightning burst out again, with power that could even rival a partially serious Big Fat Bear, it stretched its two claws forward and turned into a bolt of lightning and flew straight at Dazed Crow.
When the Dazed Crow saw this, it paused for a moment. Then, it slashed out an even brighter slas.h.!.+
Fire Crow Slas.h.!.+
Sword Draw!
Red flames and blue lightning collided, producing a loud bang.
Countless shock waves spread, flames flew and lightning shot in all directions. The whole arena was already covered by red light, blue light, and dust.
The barrier made sizzling sounds as the crystal wall absorbed the waves of energy impact.
After a while, when the commotion gradually calmed down, everyone saw the surging and blazing sun slowly withdraw, revealing the still mighty and extraordinary Flaming Spiritcrow standing on the battlefield.
In front of the crow, the lightning had long dissipated.
There was only one Leopard Cat left, with terrifying wounds on its body, lying on the ground, unable to get up.
“Although its speed is fast, its attack power is far from enough.”
Lie Kong Heavenly King commented, “Of course, it’s also related to the opponent it’s facing. The Flaming Spiritcrow’s flying speed is not as fast as Lightning Leopard Cat’s Lightning Mode, but its reaction speed and attack speed can totally keep up.”
“It’s equivalent to the battle methods of the Lightning Leopard Cat being completely countered. I don’t blame him for losing.”
“Well…” He added,” Of course, the performance of the Flaming Spiritcrow was also pretty good. ”
…
On the Sprite Commandeering at one end of the arena.
The youth with the crew cut also discovered the problem. His sprite’s attack power was insufficient, and it couldn’t fight it head-on.
He took a deep breath, called the leopard cat back to the medical staff, and called for a second sprite.
Sizzle—
A sprite with wingspan nearly ten meters and a special effect of lightning surrounding its whole body flew onto the field.
Purple Lightning Wings!
In terms of appearance alone, it looked even stronger than the Flaming Spiritcrow.
“Let the second battle begin!”
Flaming Spiritcrow immediately activated “Fiery Sun Stance”, and the dazzling Blazing Sun appeared on the field again.
The Purple Lightning Wings also spread its wings and flew. Lightning gradually filled up, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge Thunderbird.
It was still the same “Thunder Light Mode” like the Lightning Leopard Cat, but the battle style was different.
It wasn’t nimble and ever-changing, but… domineering under extreme speed!
With lightning that could destroy everything, it charged towards the rolling sun.
The battle started right away!
All eyes were fixed on the two figures in the air, about to collide.
The audience wondered which of the two was going to win.
The blazing sun exuded endless light and heat, but the huge Thunderbird had a stronger and more overbearing aura of destruction.
At this moment…
“Squawk…”
A loud and clear cry rang out. In everyone’s eyes, the dazzling and resplendent sun in the sky was actually…
Split into three!
It turned into three slightly smaller Blazing Suns, and at this moment, the huge Thunderbird was pa.s.sing through the middle.
The audience widened their eyes.
The youth’s pupils were constricted.
The hair on the Purple Lightning Wings stood up!
The Dazed Crow used the ancient killer move—Instantaneous h.e.l.l Killing Array.
In the sky, three dazzling suns intersected.
It left behind afterimages and… red lines that would persist for a long time. Like a large net, the threads were the sharpest blades, directly tearing apart the Purple Lightning Wings that flew into it…
“Hiss…”
With a tragic cry, the Purple Lightning Wings fell from the sky.
At the same time, the three dazzling and blazing suns fused into one, and its power increased greatly. It chased after it with surging flames…
Boom!!!
The sky shook, and something heavy fell to the ground.
The flames gradually faded. The red figure descended from the sky and withdrew its feathers.
It seemed to be saying…
“It was finally a little fun ~!”
…
Only a few seconds had pa.s.sed since the Purple Lightning Wing made its debut and it had already been defeated.
It was so fast that… the youth with the crew cut didn’t know how to react at all.
How did this happen?
Wasn’t the Flaming Spiritcrow in front of him an explosive type?
How… did it suddenly become an a.s.sa.s.sin?!
“What gave you the illusion that the Flaming Spiritcrow is a Berserker?”
Su Hao shrugged.
If it could crush its opponent head-on, it would fight them head-on. If it couldn’t, wasn’t it reasonable and logical to use some tactics?
Besides, the Instantaneous h.e.l.l Killing Array was a secret manual.
Don’t blame me for your own weakness… ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
The Purple Lightning Wings were summoned back. On the opposite side, the youth with the crew cut was still hesitating and conflicted.
At this moment…
The Heavenly King Lie Kong walked to the front of the spectating area and said, “Your Flaming Spiritcrow must have consumed a lot of energy. Have you displayed all of its strength yet?”
In other words, if Su Hao had displayed all of Dazed Crow’s strength, then… it was time for him to change to another sprite.
The internal team battle was just to understand the sprite’s strength, victory or defeat wasn’t important.
But…
“Uh, it probably still has another move that it hasn’t shown yet.”
The Heavenly King Lie Kong seemed to be stuck for a moment before he said nonchalantly, “In that case, let the battle continue.”
Then, he returned to the high seats in the spectating area.
He started thinking.
In the battle between the Flaming Spiritcrow and the Purple Lightning Wings just now, the strength of the two sprites was actually not much different.
The ability to instakill was due to the element of surprise.
That’s why he intervened. He didn’t think there was any point in continuing the battle…
Heavenly King Lie Kong, who looked calm on the surface, continued to spectate the battle.
…
At one end of the Sprite Commandeering, after some contemplation, the youth with the crew cut finally summoned his third sprite.
Thunderous Pig King.
It was the slowest among his main battle sprites.
“But the Lightning Mode is too heavily countered. Why don’t we use a pa.s.sive sprite to counter it? I don’t believe that the powerful enhancement mode of the Flaming Spiritcrow can be used continuously!”
The Thunder Boar King was already following his plan.
The Thunder Drum in front of its stomach leaped and fired Thunder Cannons at Blazing Sun in the sky.
“It dodged!”
“As expected, under the scorching sun, the defense of the Flaming Spiritcrow is still limited!”
“Interweaving Thunder Net!”
Seeing this, the youth with the crew cut was confident again.
Lightning Cannon shot out one after another, sealing off the s.p.a.ce that the Flaming Spiritcrow could dodge.
There was also lightning and blade light colliding, exploding directly in mid-air.
The battle mode of the Flaming Spiritcrow seemed to be no different from the previous two rounds.
On the Sprite Commandeering.
Su Hao rubbed his forehead. In the contract, he used the majesty of a Sprite Trainer.
Stare–
Dazed Crow felt wronged, but it still let out a cry.
“Squawk…”
It still relied on the dazzling sun, but the rolling red flames turned golden in an instant.
A piercing light burst forth as a golden sun hung high in the sky. Endless light and heat enveloped the entire arena!
It was like a fire G.o.d descending with unparalleled power and flames that burned everything to ashes.
Under the golden sun, the originally dazzling lightning seemed to have dimmed.
It disappeared into the rolling golden flames.
Without any reduction in momentum, it slashed out with Blazing Sun. The dazzling golden blade light slashed through the layers of lightning net. Then, it flew in front of the Thunder Boar King, and slashed down again!
Golden Flame Slas.h.!.+
Eight consecutive slashes!
The terrifying golden flames suddenly turned into a blade beam that flew out, slas.h.i.+ng through the Lightning Fist of the Rumbling Thunder Pig King, cutting across its body before exploding abruptly.
It swallowed everything.
The golden blazing sun finally landed on the ground. Amidst the loud explosion, rolling golden flames were lifted like waves, hitting the barrier and the crystal wall continuously.
Only a dazzling golden color was left in the entire arena, enveloping everything.
It was as if a terrifying shadow had appeared on the golden sea of fire, enveloping the master-level Sprite Trainers in fear.
