Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 58: The Power of Silkworm God

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom!

Huge fireballs fell.

They didn’t hit anyone, but the candidates ambushed in the bushes got startled and rushed out suddenly. They looked at Su Hao with surprise and suspicion.

“How did you discover us?”

While they were shocked, Su Hao was also observing them.

Ten people, ten sprites.

Their sprites had yet to reach a stage that they could break through, but they weren’t weak either. The really weak candidates had already been eliminated over the past two dates.

They generally had a spiritual force of around 70 to 80.

Su Hao’s gaze stayed on a big-sized sprite a bit longer.

It was a Rumbling Pig, the evolved form of Mini Pig!

It was as tall as a person, its whole body covered with thick black hair. It looked like it had a pretty strong suppressive aura, and it made a rumbling noise when it ran.

Its Sprite Trainer was the hat-wearing boy.

Su Hao would call him Boy With Hat for now.

Boy With Hat wasn’t part of the intel he had gathered.

Su Hao suspected that Rumbling Pig had stayed in its room since arriving at Battle Preparation Village.

After all, Rumbling Pig had another characteristic, that it liked to sleep and made a rumbling snore.

Although its spiritual force is not particularly strong, the battle power of evolved sprites is undoubtedly stronger.

Most Sprite Trainers would use the improvements made from the sprite’s first evolution to break through into entry-level in one fell swoop.

However, it wasn’t impossible for sprites to evolve before entry-level.

Among initial-form sprites, Mini Pig’s battle power was among the lowest, weaker than even Silkworm Baby. It’s also pretty reasonable that it evolved in advance…

Su Hao guessed that Boy With Hat wanted to compete for the top ten’s rewards.

If he sacrificed a bit of the sprites’ potential to get a good ranking, it was also a pretty good deal.

Silkworm Baby, which was in the middle of confronting other sprites, looked around it, and somehow felt that someone was speaking ill of it.

“Don’t be scared, he’s alone!”

During the short period that Su Hao was observing, the hat-wearing boy had already recovered.

He commanded Rumbling Pig to rush up.

Other sprites had used the unique skills that they had practiced for months.

“Granule Machine Gun!”

“Water Arrows!”

“Charging!”

Su Hao had already retreated quietly to a big tree earlier on. At that moment, seeing the countless unique skills flying toward him, he backed away and hid behind a thick tree trunk with a diameter of one meter.

Countless unique skills hit right onto the thick tree trunk.

Without showing his head, Su Hao directly shouted, “Silkworm Baby, make it a quick fight!”

They were too close to the finishing point, after all.

“Gurgle!”

Boy With Hat got angry. “Rumbling Pig, use Earthquake!”

“Rumble~!”

Rumbling Pig’s front feet lifted high and fell heavily. The fat on its body swayed like waves.

The ground trembled, while gravel swished up and fell like rain.

Silkworm Baby did not dodge, and shrouded in the brilliance of Charging it rushed over in the rain of gravel.

On the opposite side…

A Little Ground Wolf and a Grass Sheep also started Charging.

There were also several Water-Element and Wood-Element Sprites. Mist came out of their mouths as they prepared to use Water Arrows and Granule Machine Gun again.

Silkworm Baby was still some distance away from them.

“Gurgle!٩(๑`^ ́๑)۶)`Д ́)!”

Along with the sound, a special spiritual force spread, and the sprites that were just performing unique skills suddenly trembled.

Fear appeared deep in their eyes.

The Charging Little Ground Wolf and Grass Sheep’s front legs weakened. The two sprites rolled together.

Stunning!

I’m super fierce!

Silkworm Baby made use of the acceleration from Charging and directly rushed past Rumbling Pig. He knocked a Dotted Mushroom out more than 20 meters, and then forcefully lashed out four Energy Balls, blasting away several sprites that stood a bit further.

When Rumbling Pig turned around to chase Silkworm Baby, it was stunned as it looked at the messy ground.

Where did all my teammates go?

Boy with Hat’s face was stiff.

It’s okay that it can use Energy Balls. But four in a second!?

Why would a cute sprite be so strong?!

And… Why did the sprites suddenly freeze just now!?

“It’s Stunning.”

It was Heavenly King Zhou Weiping who spoke.

As the number of candidates decreased, the ones whose performance was outstanding had long received special attention.

Su Hao was one of the targets of Heavenly King Zhou’s special attention.

“Stunning?” A Sprite Trainer thought for a moment before remembering what kind of unique skill Stunning was. “Isn’t that an illusion-element unique skill?”

Illusion-Element Sprites were rare.

And illusion-element unique skills were even rarer!

As for the skill Stunning, they had only seen it before in the teaching plan.

Four Energy Balls in a second!

Turning back Charging in mid-air!

String Shot and Stunning!

This Silkworm Baby…

This candidate is…

“Very interesting.” Heavenly King Zhou Weiping stared at the screen for several seconds. “Although this Silkworm Baby has yet to reach entry-level, its spiritual force is very high. It is very rare, really rare for sprites to be cultivated to a point like this.”

Heavenly King Zhou even felt a little like meeting Su Hao immediately.

In the forest…

Silkworm Baby knocked out five sprites in an instant, completely stunning other candidates and sprites.

After Little Ground Wolf and Grass Sheep got up from the ground, their legs still shook, and they kept retreating.

A candidate on the side suddenly shouted, “It’s a chance, use Seed Grenade!”

His sprite was the Silk-Cotton Owl, which was in charge of spying. It was affected by Silkworm Baby’s powers but happened to fly to the vicinity of Su Hao.

Once it heard the command, Silk-Cotton Owl flapped its wings and dropped brown bombs, targeting Su Hao, who was pressed against the tree trunk.

In front are the Seed Grenades dropped by the Silk-Cotton Owl. At the back, he is stopped by the tree trunk!

A light of hope appeared in the eyes of Boy With Hat.

Rumble!!

“Did it work?”

Boy With Hat’s eyes opened wide.

Smoke and mist dispersed gradually.

Boy With Hat saw a pair of wings closed together like a giant black egg.

The wings opened to show the completely unharmed Su Hao inside and a Little Fire Crow with anger in its eyes.

It was very angry!

Big Boss Silkworm God told me to protect Master properly, but I almost let an accident happen. It’s unforgivable!!!

The black wings extended, and their shadow enshrouded Silk-Cotton Owl.

“Coo…”

A painful scream echoed in the air for a long time.

Su Hao looked up and walked out of the space behind the tree step by step.

Black wings opened behind him like a demon, followed by a demonic voice.

“Don’t let anyone leave.”

The ten candidates ran off in all directions.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t possibly be faster than Silkworm Baby—the Spiderman and Flying Thunder God.

The furthest candidate ran out for more than a hundred meters, fell down on the ground, and was dealt with by Silkworm Baby, which arrived afterward.

“Gurgleヾ(๑╹◡╹)ノ”!”

“Good, good, you are the best, I remember all your contributions. In any case, the items rewarded will be used on you both too.”

“Gurgle, gurgle!!!”

That one is different!

Silkworm Baby took a breath to recover its spiritual force after the killing spree.

Little Fire Crow took on guard duty.

Right then…

The grass not far away was ruffling.

The two sprites and Su Hao were on alert.

A panting boy rushed out of the grass—the light shield around his body produced a dull yellow glow.

This was a sign that his energy value was on a threshold, and he was about to be eliminated.

Silkworm Baby thought this scene was too attractive, so it couldn’t help but throw an Energy Ball.

It blasted, and the hurriedly fleeing boy was pushed onto the ground by the impact’s force, and he squealed.

His bracelet vibrated.

Su Hao saw a prompt.

+1,008 points.

He was stunned for a moment, before realizing that this was a huge fat sheep.

It was an acquaintance of his—Huang Ji.

He’s actually feeling in such a poor state?

Su Hao realized that something was wrong.

He looked in the direction Huang Ji was fleeing and noticed ice sleets forming on the grass.
