Chapter 84: Sprite Hunter
The profound meaning was the sublimation of skill.
Different from unique skills, it was a more comprehensive method of usage. Apart from the technique of using spiritual force, there were still many things that were unclear.
Profound Meaning and unique skills did not conflict with each other.
Apart from the Profound Meaning of Wind, the Leaf Blade Warrior had also used Slas.h.i.+ng at that instant.
Ordinary and basic unique skills, once integrated with profound meaning, would become a powerful killer move.
Su Hao was very interested in the profundities.
In his eyes, the Leaf Blade Warrior, who was originally not weak, had reached a relatively strong standard after being added with the Profound Meaning.
“Can I unlock the profound meaning by watching some battle videos of extraordinary sprites?”
Thinking about it, it probably wouldn’t work.
Although such videos were rare, he had more or less seen them before.
Unfortunately, there was no response on the interface.
“After I enter a university, especially a prestigious sprite school, I’ll be able to come into contact with a lot of Sprite Trainer experts. There’s no need to rush now.”
Despite all these, Su Hao still couldn’t help but click on the purchase b.u.t.ton.
In an instant…
Countless information flowed into his mind.
In a daze, he felt like he became a sprite dancing in the wind.
Of course that was an illusion.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Hao finally let out a breath as white mist curled up around him.
At the side…
Seeing how Su Hao was staring at the Leaf Blade Warrior the whole time, Zhu Mingda couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me… that you really want to learn the profound meaning of Imperial Wind?”
“But let’s not talk about money first. Even if you want to learn, I can’t teach you.”
One could only learn profound meaning from a professor at Magic City’s Sprite University.
He paid the tuition fee, and the professor didn’t forbid students from teaching others privately too.
But…
He wouldn’t be able to teach others.
“To this day, I still don’t understand what profound meanings are.” Zhu Mingda said, “At that time, I pa.s.sed my Leaf Blade Warrior to my professor’s Wind Chasing Horse. Even after learning for a whole month, I barely managed to learn a little.”
Profound Meanings required personal guidance.
Therefore, there was no cultivation method for Profound Meanings on the Union’s shopping center at all.
Zhu Mingda showed a helpless expression.
…
Ten days of training pa.s.sed in a blink.
Whether it was Little Fire Crow undergoing training, or Reverie b.u.t.terfly feeling sorry for the money, the two little rascals were both very hardworking.
Ding! Your sprite, ‘Little Fire Crow’, has learned the unique skill ‘Steel Wings’ during training. ”
“Ding! Your sprite, ‘Reverie b.u.t.terfly’, learned the unique skill ‘Wind Ride’ during training.”
“Ding! Your sprite, ‘Reverie b.u.t.terfly’, has… comprehended the unique skill ‘Tornado Strike’.”
“Ding! Your sprite, ‘Reverie b.u.t.terfly’, has… comprehended the unique skill ‘Hurricane’.”
“Steel Wings” was a universal unique skill that he had unlocked a long time ago for Little Fire Crow.
“But Reverie b.u.t.terfly…”
It had comprehended three unique skills.
And they were wind-element unique skills.
Although the skills had relatively lower difficulty levels, Su Hao couldn’t help but praise it for being too awesome!
He looked at the emerald green figure in the storm.
It flapped its translucent b.u.t.terfly wings and weaved through the strong wind with great ease.
From time to time, visible wind blades appeared and whooshed over.
The Reverie b.u.t.terfly made a very graceful turn as the wind blades pa.s.sed by. It looked like it was dancing in the storm.
Suddenly…
A strong wind blew past.
There were a few wind blades hidden inside, coming from different angles.
Zhu Mingda widened his eyes and wiped the sweat off his palms. However, he saw the figure of the Reverie b.u.t.terfly pa.s.s through the wind blades like a fish after a tremble.
It left behind afterimages on the spot.
Zhu Mingda was stunned.
Ten days…
Their training ground had already moved further in from the original middle section of the Valley of Sighs.
Even Zhu Mingda’s Leaf Blade Warrior didn’t dare to step into the Storm Belt anymore. Reverie b.u.t.terfly, on the other hand, became much more graceful and natural.
How did it manage to accomplish that!?
It must be cheating!
“That was…?” He turned to look at Su Hao and asked with some difficulty.
“It’s the profound meaning, your Leaf Blade Warrior’s Imperial Wind profound meaning.”
Su Hao was also surprised.
Although…
He had unlocked the most perfect training method.
Although…
He even transmitted some thoughts of the profound meaning to Reverie b.u.t.terfly through the contract.
It was undoubtedly thanks to him that the little rascal was able to learn the profound meaning.
But it was too fast!
He had originally estimated that it would take twenty days, but the little rascal learned it in just ten days, and it wasn’t just grazing the surface.
Little Fire Crow, which was also learning at the same time, was still in a daze right now.
…
At the same time…
In the Valley of Sighs, two figures clad in snow battle clothes crawled down from a cliff against the wind.
Their movements were very agile, and there were even two sprites following beside them.
A Killer Mantis.
A Bursting Flame Bat.
This Killer Mantis was nearly a meter long. Its scimitar-like arm was embedded in the stone wall, and its compound eyes swept around coldly.
At this moment…
A Fluffy Monster with particularly thick hair and a unique characteristic of the snow region poked its head out from underneath the rock wall.
The Fluffy Monster was the evolved form of Fluffy Ball. Its body was covered with a thick layer of snow, like a huge moving s...o...b..ll. Only its two huge brown feet could be seen.
The wild Fluffy Monster appeared.
It didn’t notice the Killer Mantis covered in snow and the Bursting Flame Bat that was flying high in the sky.
It only saw two humans climbing down the mountain wall. Its eyes under its fur showed its excitement upon discovering its prey.
“Ji~”
Suddenly, its fur extended, pa.s.sing through the thick snow that covered its body, and rolled towards the human figures on the rock wall like a rope.
Wood-element unique skill: Bind!
In an instant…
The Killer Mantis, which was sprawled on the rock wall, shook after being taken by surprise. Snowflakes exploded, and its slender body turned into a dark green shadow, arriving in front of the Fluffy Monster in the blink of an eye.
It slashed down its scimitar-like arm.
Three slashes in a row!
The Fluffy Monster let out a cry of pain, its voice drowned out by the howling from the storm. Its thick hair was cut off, and its big eyes showed fear.
Killer Mantis slashed again with a bright blade light.
Slash—
The wild Fluffy Monster collapsed.
The human figure clad in the snow battle suit came down from the rock wall and kicked it, saying, “Heh, just a common Fluffy Monster, worthless.”
Another person said, “It doesn’t matter. Our target is only the Reverie b.u.t.terfly. As long as we can catch that sprite, we can sell it for a lot of money. There are already several offers on the Dark Net.”
He took out his tablet and dug out a photo.
It was a photo of Su Hao appearing at the Sprite Trainer Center in Magic City, with a Reverie b.u.t.terfly following beside him.
“Since he appeared at the gathering center, he must be heading for the Valley of Sighs. But after all, it has been nearly ten days since we got the news and travelled here after searching for a breakthrough. That person may not be around anymore… We have to speed up.”
“Fortunately, he came to the New World. Otherwise, this business wouldn’t be easy if he had stayed in Dragon Nation.”
They were just sprite hunters, not those lunatics from terrorist organizations who weren’t afraid of death.
Within the Dragon Nation, it was not difficult to catch an entry-level sprite off guard.
But it was hard to escape the laws.
The New World was different. It was hard to find someone if that person hid himself somewhere.
…
On the tenth day, Su Hao prepared to return home.
Every day was money spent from his pockets.
If Reverie b.u.t.terfly hadn’t learned the profound meaning, he might have stayed for two more days. But now, there was no need for him to do so.
What?
You said that Little Fire Crow didn’t learn it? Just let the Reverie b.u.t.terfly teach it!
Isn’t it reasonable for Big Sister to teach her underling?
They walked back along the mountain wall, preparing to pick up Little Fire Crow first.
At this moment…
Dream b.u.t.terfly called out.
Su Hao looked back. There were two figures walking towards them against the snow.
However, there were only two paths to the Valley of Sighs.
The road on the left side of the mountain wall and the road on the right side of the mountain wall.
It was not strange that there were other Sprite Trainers. Su Hao had also encountered some in the past ten days, just not many.
“It’s someone else, right? Who’s that guide?”
Zhu Mingda looked over.
But with the snow and wind, he couldn’t see clearly.
At this moment…
Out of habit, Su Hao glanced at the map nearby. An icon representing the Killer Mantis was approaching rapidly.
But he couldn’t see it.
“Something’s wrong, retreat!”
Su Hao pulled Zhu Mingda back.
Reverie b.u.t.terfly got the message and started fanning the snow in front of it.
A visible swirl of wind blew across the snow, lifting the thick layer of snow.
Seeing how he couldn’t hide anymore, the figure in the snow battle suit a distance away stopped pretending.
“Attack!”
A dark green figure rushed out from under the thick snow. The thin wings on its back flapped slightly, and it flew up in a straight line. Its arm, which was like a scimitar, cut through the white swirl of wind and went straight towards the Reverie b.u.t.terfly that was flying at a low alt.i.tude.

Due to the lack of manpower in the Union and the slow pace of research on new sprites, I opened a crowdfund for sprite stickers in the book review section of Qi Yuan and QQ reading. Hope that you big bosses can leave behind valuable data materials for me to read.
