Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 188: Advancement After The Limit [2/3]

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“What… What’s that?”

Liu Ren looked up, his neck a little sore. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really a Flaming Spiritcrow?”

A minute ago, the Flaming Spiritcrow was only a fire bird that was a few rounds bigger.

Although it looked much stronger, he expected it.

A sprite personally cultivated by thigh Su would definitely be sufficiently impressive.

He estimated that the sprite could defeat the three of theirs even more easily… He wasn’t depressed either. Wasn’t it just a defeat? He, Liu Ren, lost to Su Hao, lost to that Fire Crow… It had already been dozens of times, if not a hundred.

After being abused a lot, he got used to it.

He really wanted to have a battle with the Flaming Spiritcrow in two days to see how strong Su Hao’s first final evolved sprite was..

That was what he had thought ten seconds ago.

Now…

What was with that sun?

So, so piercing!

...

In another part of the Lava Area.

Mentor Sun Gaoang was testing his sprite.

Not far away from him, the Fire God Soldier made of flames had half its body submerged in the lava. It raised its arm, and the lava in the pool rose.

It was like a gradually rising wave.

After the rolling lava rose, it was gathered by the Fire God Soldier. Like a huge ball, it constantly compressed, lengthened, compressed, and lengthened in the hands of the Fire God Soldier…

It looked like it was grinding noodles, or rather, forging.

Ten minutes later, the lava ball turned into a red spear, held by the Fire God Soldier with both hands.

“Using spiritual force to solidify the weapon, the first step is considered a success.”

Instructor Sun pondered. “But the strengthening failed in the past. Now, let’s change the method. I wonder if we can strengthen this spear to a level harder than the fist of the Fire God Soldier.”

The spear in the Fire God Soldier’s hand emitted a dazzling red light. It stabbed forward forcefully, the spear piercing through the air and separating the lava.

After a while, the sticky lava that looked like it was splitting open the sea surface slowly closed.

Bang~!

Lava surged.

Instructor Sun Gaoang nodded.

Right at this moment…

The Fire God Soldier suddenly looked up in a certain direction.

Instructor Sun also looked over.

“That’s…”

He saw a blazing sun slowly rise, emitting endless light and heat.

There was also the cry of a bird.

“What kind of sprite is that? The flames it emits are actually like a small sun?”

As a fire-element instructor, a powerhouse only a hair away from Heavenly King-level, he actually…

He couldn’t tell what kind of sprite it was, what kind of unique skill and secret manual it used.

Who was it?

He knew all the fire-element instructors.

Was that a top student?

“Do you see what kind of sprite that is?”

He turned to ask the Fire God Soldier.

The next moment, his expression became a little stunned. “Even you can’t see through that incandescent sun?!”

...

Somewhere in the Lava area.

A student was instructing his Fiery Blaze Bull to climb over the hot lava pool.

Suddenly…

Seeing a blazing sun slowly rise, he was stunned.

“Instructor, or…?”

He recognized all the fire-element instructors.

It seemed that no sprite could transform into a huge ball of fire.

But the students…

He recalled those experts in the special training camp, those experts with fire-element sprites also seemed to… not match up.

“It might be a killer move that someone just developed.”

“I just fear that the ranking of the special training camp is probably going to change…”

With this in mind, he didn’t dare to delay any further and continued training with the Fiery Blaze Bull.

...

“Squawk…”

The cry was sharp.

That dazzling Little Blazing Sun flew down from the sky.

It resisted the urge to smash a hole in the ground and slowly decelerated. The flames around it converged, and the figure in the flames gradually became clearer.

Whoosh ~

All the flames were absorbed and submerged into the Flaming Spiritcrow’s mouth and wings. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared, leaving only a handsome Flaming Crow that folded its wings and landed in front of him.

“Squawk…”

Looking at Su Hao who was already shorter than itself, the Flaming Spiritcrow shook its feathers, sending some sparks flying.

It wasn’t used to it at the moment.

Why is Su Hao so short ~!

...

Su Hao reached out and flicked the Flaming Spiritcrow’s feathers.

It made a clanging sound.

It was very hard.

It shouldn’t be too bad compared to metal… Su Hao was glad that he already had a mount and didn’t need to ride the Dazed Crow.

The riding experience was definitely extremely poor.

He looked forward, and the interface appeared in front of him.

[Sprite: Flaming Spiritcrow (Elite-level)]

[Characteristics: Super high temperature]

[Cultivation Plan: Omitted (fully unlocked)]

[Unique skill: Omitted]

[Special:

(1) Instantaneous Hell Killing Array;

(2) Flaming Feather Form;

(3) Sun Form < expand >

Su Hao tapped it with his mind.

The advanced mode of full-power Flaming Feather Form required the absorption of enough flames to form with its own ultra-high temperature characteristics, and the stabilization of flames with special profound meanings.

And special training in daily life.

Without any link, the Sun Form couldn’t take shape.

It was a secret manual specially tailored for the Flaming Spiritcrow.

For example, other sprites could learn the “spiritual orb”, just that it was very difficult.

But whether it was the “Flaming Feather Form” or the higher-level “Sun Form”, even if Su Hao uploaded it to the Union’s shopping center, it couldn’t be sold.

Unless he found a Little Fire Crow and cultivated it bit by bit using the Su-style cultivation method.

At this moment.

Su Hao saw that in one column, information that he hadn’t seen before appeared.

[Evolutionary pathway:

Little Fire Crow → Flaming Cloud Crow → [Flaming Spiritcrow] → ‘Pitch Black’ (Not Unlocked) (3 Intelligence Points to Search for Advancement Direction)]

Su Hao touched his chin.

The third stage evolution of sprites was the form engraved into their genes.

As long as the cultivation was done well, it was only a matter of time before the sprite evolved to its final form.

It was a visible path.

But the final evolved form reached the end of the road. Further ahead was Pitch Black.

It required sprites to break through their limits.

“The final evolved sprite can continue to evolve, but that’s no longer as a type of sprite, but as an individual… The same type of sprite can also have completely different advanced forms.”

“And the evolution of sprites not only increased their battle power, but also raised the ceiling of a sprite!”

Sprites in their initial form would at most grow to the limit of entry-level.

Sprites in the first stage of evolution had to look at the specific species potential. Usually, once they reached elite level, their progress would begin to be restricted… So Su Hao arranged for the Flaming Cloud Crow to evolve.

After evolution, it had the possibility of breaking through to extraordinary level.

In comparison, the potential of the Water Unicorn Beast pathway was higher. Even if it was at a stage of evolution, there was a slight possibility of breaking through to extraordinary level.

“The Union of Sprite Trainers defines the evolution after the final form as ‘advanced evolution’. There are no fixed forms or fixed pathways… But there are several general directions that can be used for reference.”

For example, giganticization!

That Sprite Cultivator who had developed giganticization made a huge contribution.

In the past, it was very difficult for sprites to evolve, and there were no traces to be found. Most monarch ranks came from quasigod sprites with very high upper limits.

Fiery Bird perhaps had a slight chance of breaking through to monarch rank.

It was almost impossible for ordinary sprites. Advancing and evolving was also very difficult, so the probability of failure was very high.

Until the giganticization theory appeared.

“Heavenly King Zhou’s Sea-Tide Frog King should have advanced via giganticization.”

Su Hao remembered the Frog King that was two to three floors tall… Usually, the Frog King was only the size of a car, the difference was obvious.

“Not only that, the most valuable part of the giganticization advancement is its applicability, suitable for many types of sprites…”

“Lava Dragon Turtle, Giant Armored Crab, Cinder Dragon, Squid King, and so on can all use the giganticization theory to make the possibility of advanced evolution not so low anymore.”

“The Flaming Spiritcrow might be able to utilize it too.”

Su Hao stared at the line of text. He endured and endured, and finally couldn’t hold back his overflowing curiosity.

He chose to unlock it.

In that instant…

Data flowed like a waterfall.

On the advanced form column of “Pitch Black”, countless “Pitch Black Outlines” finally appeared.

Su Hao was rendered speechless.
