Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 259 - Champion! Champion! (6k Giant Chapter)



Chapter 259: Champion! Champion! (6k Giant Chapter)

In the top four’s round-robin battle, if Dragon City University could defeat Fiery Bird and Whale Island, they would no longer face any obstacles in becoming the champion. The remaining Suanni University team naturally couldn’t stop them.

“But if Whale Island University wins them and loses against Fiery Bird, the three prestigious schools will have a record of two wins and one loss. Then, the champion will be determined by the scores of each round.”

In the broadcasting hall, Huang Tianlei said to the audience, “Theoretically speaking, as long as Whale Island University defeats Dragon City University with an absolute advantage, and then loses to Fiery Bird with a huge disadvantage, Fiery Bird University will have a slight chance of winning the championship.”

“Of course, that’s just a theory. In yesterday’s battle, Fiery Bird University lost completely. Although it was partly due to strategic mistakes, it is obvious to everyone that Dragon City University’s strength is much stronger than Fiery Bird.”

“With such an advantage, if Whale Island can defeat Dragon City, then defeating Fiery Bird won’t be a big problem. But the greatest possibility is that Dragon City will crush Whale Island so the main focus is which team will emerge as second place, Whale Island University or Fiery Bird University.”

Si Yuerong, who was sitting on the right, smiled and asked, “Tianlei, do you feel that there’s no hope for Whale Island University anymore?”

“That… Of course not.” Huang Tianlei paused for a moment and said, “After all, it’s a prestigious school, it’s impossible to say that there’s no hope. But you can see the difference in battle power between the two sides. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Storm God Hound is the strongest sprite since the High School League was held, there’s no sprite which can match it!”

How strong?

Its ordinary wind blades could even suppress the high-level unique skills of other sprites, it was this strong!

As a special guest commentator, Huang Tianlei already understood the reason. That person… was actually a natural born Domainer!

The power of that Storm God Hound was reasonable.

These… were relatively secret information. He didn’t reveal them to the audience, and most people wouldn’t understand even if he did.

As a commentator, he constantly analyzed the tactics and pros and cons of both parties.

Then he concluded that Whale Island University… was in danger!

At this moment, in Whale Island University’s lounge.

Captain Wang Qi expressed that the pressure was immense. “Based on the situation yesterday, that Storm God Hound definitely has the ability to suppress us in a one-on-one battle, and even defeat our ace sprite in a short period of time.”

Their trump cards were the five strongest sprites of Whale Island University!

It was much stronger than normal extraordinary sprites and was even stronger than one or two extraordinary sprites cultivated by key universities!

But still…

Not a match.

Wang Qi knew his place.

“Not only that, the Storm God Hound is a wind-element sprite, it’s extremely fast and it comes and goes like the wind. If we split up and occupy resource points, it might break through us one by one. And if our sprites form teams of two, they can only occupy two resource points… They can’t interfere with the opponent, but they are very likely to be harassed continuously by that Storm God Hound.”

This meant that the enemy would score steadily, while they were scoring intermittently.

It was just a slow death.

“So, my plan is to form a team!” Wang Qi said. “The Storm God Hound is extremely strong individually, but in a team battle, its effect is inevitably weakened. And we have Butterfly Fairy, who is good at assisting and cooperating… Gathering strength is our only chance! What do you think?”

Jiang Xiuqi nodded.

Senior Qin Ya and another senior agreed.

Su Hao agreed and added, “According to Senior’s plan, I’ve extended another tactic…”

It was 8: 50 a.m., and the two teams started to enter the arena.

The members of both teams entered the arena. The two commentators also received the name list of both teams at the first moment.

“Whale Island University’s team members are Wang Qi, Jiang Xiuqi, Qin Ya… Wait, it’s actually Su Hao?”

“Su Hao’s sprite is that Flaming Spiritcrow, right? It’s only an extraordinary that has just broken through. It shouldn’t be as good as those veteran extraordinary sprites, right?”

“Maybe Whale Island University has some plans in mind?”

Huang Tianlei had a vague feeling that something unexpected might happen to his prediction again.

But after thinking about it, he thought about where it might have come from. The Flaming Spiritcrow couldn’t have suddenly found its small universe, right?

“Now we see that both teams have already started to summon their sprites.”

The screen showed the scenes inside the two towers, red and blue.

Lan Qing from Dragon City University summoned her Storm God Hound. The big white dog howled and circled Lan Qing twice after appearing, rubbing its big head against her shoulder.

In Whale Island University’s tower, Red Flame Qiong Qi, Goat Horn Immortal, Holy Spirit Bird… were summoned one after another.

At this moment, they saw the last person, Su Hao, spreading his fingers wide too. Ripples appeared in space, and a fire…

“What sprite? Isn’t that just a Flaming Spiritcrow… Uh?”

In the scene, a sprite clad in a green butterfly dress appeared from the ripples.

It had big watery eyes, emerald green hair and fair arms. Its three pairs of emerald green wings flapped slightly, making it float in mid-air.

Faint mist enshrouded around its body. In the audience’s eyes, countless petals seemed to be falling as sparkling special effects appeared on the screen.

“What kind of sprite is that?”

“One hour, I want all the information on that sprite in one hour!”

“Ah, I’m dead~!”

“Ah, I’m dead~!”

“Ah Wei is also dead!”

Huang Tianlei was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. “That’s a Butterfly Fairy! The sprite form that appeared just this year evolved from Silkworm Baby.”

His words seemed to have cast a huge rock on the calm lake.

Countless audience members were seething with excitement.

“What, Silkworm Baby can actually evolve into a human-shaped sprite?”

“I want 100 Silkworm Babies in an hour!”

“Oh my, should I continue watching the competition? Or should I buy a Silkworm Baby to contract right away?”

“Buy a Silkworm Baby, of course! I have a feeling that today, no, in an hour, Silkworm Baby is going to start selling out and its price will be hiked up!”

Countless comments flew in. Huang Tianlei was stunned. He turned to look at his colleague, Si Yue Rong, and asked,

“Did I not mention that it’s very, very difficult for a Silkworm Baby to evolve into the Butterfly Fairy?”

In the tower, Su Hao reached out and passed through a petal. There was actually a cold feeling to it.

It had used the ability of Illusionary Transformation and Mirage even more skillfully.

It was just that…

Using such a rare ability to create an appearance special effect… He kept feeling that there was still something lacking.

He pondered for a moment. “Why don’t we add another BGM?”

That makes a lot of sense, gurgle ~!

Butterfly nodded.

Among the five-man team from Whale Island University, a certain senior’s Tyrant Bear was in charge of guarding the door to prevent the tower from being stolen.

The other sprites formed a team and went deep into the enemy area.

At this moment, a layer of white mist drifted above the forest.

The few sprites restrained their auras and walked through the woods.

With its meaty paws, the largest Red Flame Qiong Qi stepped on the ground filled with fallen leaves, not making a single sound.

The Goat Horn Immortal, holding a Deadwood Staff in its hands, looked like a hunchbacked old man. It wasn’t slow either. Wherever it passed, the dead branches and leaves behind it trembled slightly, erasing all traces of the few sprites.

Above, a small white bird circled and scanned the surroundings.

One in front, one behind, one on top. They formed a simple defensive formation.

In the middle of the formation was a Butterfly Fairy with its hands pressed together. Its eyes were closed and its wings trembled slightly as it advanced at a constant speed. In fact, it was using its spiritual perception to scan the surrounding area.

“Gurgle~!”

It didn’t speak, but instead, used its mental power to send a similar message to its little friends.

I found that big dog, gurgle ~!

The few sprites approached secretly and covertly. They used illusions to conceal the waves and quietly ambushed the big dog on the path that it had to pass in order to head to a certain resource point.

A white figure leaped out of the woods and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

On the left, a red beam flew out from a tricky angle. It was the advanced unique skill “Burning Light”!

At the same time, a ball of leaves formed from countless leaves stacked together flew out from the right. That was the secret manual “Leaf Ball” created by Heavenly King Wu.

The two killer moves formed a pincer attack on the Storm God Hound. Right in front of it, a sharp light suddenly came hitting, piercing the big white dog’s eyes. It made its brain feel dizzy for no reason.

Bang!!!

The scorching light pierced through everything, blowing up countless clouds wherever it passed.

Amidst the smoke and dust, countless leaves danced, riddling the surrounding ground with holes.

“Continue, don’t stop!”

Wang Qi said to the others on the tower.

Their sprites didn’t conserve their spiritual force as they continued to blast towards the smoke and dust. Rumbling sounds could be heard non-stop, and the people on the spectator platform could clearly see the clouds of smoke rising.

Suddenly–

A white shadow rushed out of the smoke. Its hair was slightly charred, and part of its body was bald. It looked miserable, but its aura was still oppressive as it let out a fierce roar.

“Howl—”

The moment the white shadow rushed out, it pounced towards the smaller-sized bird that was flying in the air.

Follow the battle principle — Nanny had to die first!

“Gurgle~ Gurgle~!”

The Holy Spirit Bird cried out anxiously. With a flap of its wings, it tried to escape quickly. However, the Storm God Hound bit very tightly behind it, and the distance between them was closing up.

Suddenly, Red Flame Qiong Qi and the Holy Spirit Bird picked up pace and brushed past each other. The wings of the Red Flame Qiong Qi turned into flames, and its meaty palms stepped on the fire wheel. A circle of flames kept spinning around it, slowly forming the shape of a ball.

It slammed hard.

The Holy Spirit Bird also changed directions immediately and spat out three-in-one light-element Energy Balls. The two surrounding giant trees that weren’t destroyed by the aftershock seemed to have come alive. They waved their thick branches and attacked the Storm God Hound from the back.

In an instant, they completed a wonderful collaboration.

However…

Splash–!

Around the Storm God Hound, endless spinning wind surrounded it. A huge body made of airflow appeared outside its body, and its huge claw slapped down on the sprite’s head.

Bang~!

Red Flame Qiong Qi was sent flying.

The three-in-one Energy Balls hit the huge body but only made it tremble continuously.

Before long, the two huge trees that looked like they came alive were also killed by the wind blades.

Facing the siege of three same-level sprites, not only was it not weak, it could also counterattack!

“Too strong, so that Storm God Hound didn’t show its full strength yesterday!”

Huang Tianlei’s tone was extremely fast as he explained the unique skills and secret manuals one by one. In the end, he added, “Whale Island University’s ambush didn’t manage to seriously injure the Storm God Hound, which means that they no longer have any hope. Dragon City University won’t give them a second chance.”

As expected, on the screen, the other three sprites from Dragon City University came to help.

Red Flame Qiong Qi was completely at a disadvantage.

The Goat Horn Immortal, which was not good at staying alive, was the first to be targeted. When it was almost eliminated, it was summoned away in time.

“Even so, its injuries are not light, and the other few…”

Huang Tianlei saw the Holy Spirit Bird and Red Flame Qiong Qi being summoned out of the battlefield one after another.

But that Butterfly Fairy was a step slower.

Amidst the rumbling, countless wind blades exploded on its petite body, causing the countless viewers in front of the TV to involuntarily close their eyes.

“Butterfly Fairy’s Sprite Trainer is inexperienced, he didn’t summon it back in…”

Before he could say the word “time”, Huang Tianlei saw its body turn into countless light dots in the green butterfly robe before exploding with a bang.

Among the flying green and pink light dots in the sky, three ping-pong-sized round beads fell from mid-air. Wisps of gray mist flew out with a whoosh. The whole Butterfly Fairy was like a flower in the mirror, disappearing in an instant.

Only the three beads made a soft sound when they fell to the ground. Everyone understood that this wasn’t just an illusion.

A few minutes ago, near the tower where Dragon City University was located.

“Gurgle~”

Butterfly, which was only the size of a palm, crawled out of a bush and looked into the distance. It saw thick smoke rushing into the sky.

The plan can begin, gurgle ~!

Its body turned one round, and with a bang, it returned to its appearance of more than a meter tall. It was still hiding in the bushes, but the hair on its head stood up.

It shook twice.

It discovered the sprite guarding the tower. It was more than three meters tall, thunder-element, and had fuzzy hair… It was a Thunder Roaring.

It’s from the same race as Fat Bear, gurgle~!

After simulating the plan in its mind, Butterfly didn’t hesitate and quietly flew down the tower.

At this moment, in the tower.

A strong Thunder Bear stood behind the door, blocking most of the three-meter tall door.

Its ears were propped up, and it was very focused as it stared outside, but after all, there were continuous rumbling from the far end, and it was very bored here. After staring for a long time, the strong Thunder Bear couldn’t help but yawn.

It shook its head again and forced itself to look around.

Suddenly…

Its ears twitched, and it raised its bear paw to shield itself. In the next moment, Energy Balls flew out from the grass in front of it one after another.

Rumble~!

The huge impact from the explosion of the Energy Balls made the strong Thunder Bear retreat involuntarily, but in the next moment, it grabbed the ground with both feet and held on, not daring to take a step back.

At the same time, it raised its other paw and shot out a bolt of lightning towards that patch of grass.

Boom~!

The grass was directly vaporized, and a human-shaped sprite flew out from it. Its body split into countless palm-sized illusion butterflies, which flew towards it forcefully, with an intention to fly past it and into the tower.

“┗|`O′|┛Howl~~!”

The strong Thunder Bear roared and released countless bolts of lightning. With crackling sounds, it eliminated most of the illusion butterflies. The remaining gathered together and turned into the appearance of the Butterfly Fairy.

At this moment.

Ripples appeared in the space above. A huge Bursting Flame Bat the size of a double bed suddenly appeared. Flames burst out of its mouth as it bit towards the Butterfly Fairy a few meters away.

Butterfly Fairy seemed to be shocked, its butterfly wings trembled slightly as it escaped into the distance.

The Bursting Flame Bat couldn’t quite stop the Butterfly Fairy with its own strength. It couldn’t help but squeak at the strong Thunder Bear, seeking for its help to stop the Butterfly Fairy.

The Thunder Bear shook its head.

Its expression was saying, my Sprite Trainer handed me the mission to guard the door… It’s useless even if you say I’m rigid, unless my Sprite Trainer opens his mouth ~

It was stunned.

In its mind, its Sprite Trainer seemed to have told it, chase after it, chase after it, chase after it, chase after it…

With a howl, it stepped on the ground with all four legs and chased after it forcefully.

At this moment, on the top floor of the tower.

The five people from Dragon City University stood on the porch and looked into the distance.

Captain Wang Dong said, “They will definitely summon their sprites back. Then we’ll go up directly to block the door and solve the problem at the source…”

He said before he suddenly saw Lan Qing frown, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Lan Qing didn’t answer. She just closed her eyes and listened. After a while, she said, “The wind, the sound of the wind is a little wrong…”

She looked down calmly.

At this moment, the Thunder Roaring that was guarding the entrance roared. For no reason, it ran out on all fours, as if it was chasing something.

However, there was nothing in front.

“It’s under an illusion!” The experienced Wang Dong shouted.

The next moment, a clear voice sounded behind them.

“Gurgle~!”

Checkmate!

Wang Dong and the others had ashen expressions.

The audience was dead silent!

A second ago, everyone thought that the outcome was set. The students from Dragon City University who were watching the battle on the spot had even started cheering.

But the cheers stopped abruptly.

In its place was dead silence and disbelief.

What happened? What exactly happened?!

Why did that Thunder Roaring suddenly leave? And what was with the Butterfly Fairy, how did it enter the tower?!

Questions kept popping up in their minds.

The people watching the live stream even commented a series of “???”.

At this moment, their feelings were no longer something that could be expressed with “what the f*ck” and “confusion”.

In the broadcasting hall, the two commentators were the same. They were constantly looking through the scene records and finally found some traces.

“So, the Butterfly Fairy who ambushed the Storm God Hound was fake from the start. From the beginning, it had already quietly made a detour and hid under the tower. When the time was right, it used an illusion to lure Thunder Roaring away without attracting the attention of the people from Dragon City University and directly achieved a checkmate!

“This, this operation!!!”

He took a deep breath but was still unable to conceal the shock on his face.

As an experienced and knowledgeable master-level Sprite Trainer, not only did he see the excellence of tactics, he also saw Butterfly Fairy’s… brilliance, no, it should be called magical illusion!

“Its illusion is the key to Whale Island University achieving checkmate!”

“Tianlei, many audience members are asking about Fairy Butterfly’s clone, what do you think about this?”

Use your eyes to look!

His expression froze. The rich knowledge and experience in his mind couldn’t bring him any clues.

He was also in despair~!

The judge announced the result in the sky.

The whole venue was in chaos. The situation had changed too quickly. Many people’s faces were slapped so hard that they were still in a daze.

Most people were confused, while some were indignant, depressed, and dejected.

A small number of people were in ecstasy.

For example, Mentor Ma, Tong Shang, and a few other seniors who were just there for fun, they didn’t expect that they would actually win.

Another example…

Fiery Bird University lounge.

“Whale Island won. The competition only started for ten over minutes. What the f*ck, what the f*ck, what the f*ck!”

It was the same “what the f*ck”, but it was said in surprise.

Captain Gongye Tianrui said, “Dragon City University lost even faster than our match! That also means that if we can defeat Whale Island University, we have hopes of winning the championship!”

“From the battle analysis just now, Whale Island University won in tactics. Of course, that Butterfly Fairy is also a little tricky, but…”

He looked at one of them. A completely black crow stood on that person’s shoulder.

“We have a Dark Night Raven, a double-element dark and illusion sprite. It has also mastered illusion, so…”

From despair to hope.

Gongye Tianrui’s expression became increasingly excited as he spoke.

That afternoon, Fiery Bird University’s reserve member defeated Suanni University cleanly.

Their official members were all preparing for the battle tomorrow.

It was the last day of the league.

The battle for the championship had dramatically returned to Whale Island University and Fiery Bird University.

At this moment…

No one dared to make any judgment. No one dared to guarantee who would win or lose.

“Our tactical core is my Fiery Bird and Ji Ming’s Dark Night Raven.”

Before the competition started, Gongye Tianrui said.

“We bumped into them. Quick, surround and cut through the resource points! Old Ji, tell your raven to be wary of illusion at all times. I don’t want my Fiery Bird to fall for it!”

“Don’t worry, just defense alone, it’s impossible to be hit with my raven’s presence! But the defense of the tower…”

“Don’t worry, Old Wang will personally go to the bottom of the tower and guard it with his sprite. With the Sprite Trainer’s barrier, as long as there are traces of illusion, he will be alerted immediately… The same move won’t work again!”

30 minutes after the competition started, Gongye Tianrui and the other members said so.

“Advantage, we have an advantage now, hurry up and attack!”

At a certain moment, Gongye Tianrui said excitedly.

The next moment, Gongye Tianrui’s face was ashen as he said with a trembling voice, “W-When did we fall into the illusion?”

Ji Ming, whose sprite was the Dark Night Raven, had a blank look on his face. “I don’t know either.”

In today’s battle, the views of the drones had long been locked onto Butterfly Fairy.

Thus, the audience witnessed a strange scene.

At first, the sprites on both sides did bump into each other, and it gradually evolved into a 4v4 team battle, but they soon sensed that something was wrong.

Fiery Bird and the other sprites, who were originally in the midst of an intense battle, left their opponents one after another. Instead, they faced the air and started chomping wildly.

“That Butterfly Fairy actually dragged four sprites of the same level into the illusion alone?”

“There’s even a Dark Night Raven inside. How strong is its mental strength? Terrifying, too scary!”

“That’s Su Hao’s sprite? He’s only a first-year student? Not only does he have a Flaming Spiritcrow with extremely strong battle power, he also has an even more terrifying Butterfly Fairy?! What exactly is going on in society these days? Young people are giving us no way out!”

“In the previous round, I thought that Whale Island University could win because they caught their opponent off guard with their tactics, but I understand now. At that time, Butterfly Fairy could use an illusion to easily lure Thunder Roaring away, which meant that it had already crushed that Thunder Bear and could easily eliminate it!”

Fiery Bird, Dark Night Raven, and the other two sprites were silently restrained.

Their Sprite Trainers couldn’t sense it either because they weren’t injured and were quite a distance away.

But the audience outside the arena could see that apart from Butterfly Fairy, Red Flame Qiong Qi and the other sprites had already rushed towards the tower.

They charged straight into the tower!

Only if Gongye Tianrui and the others discovered the situation and summoned Fiery Bird and the other three sprites back in time.

But…

The hundreds of illusion imprint layers on the sprites they summoned back were suddenly detonated. The brains of the few sprites were in extreme pain, and their battle power was reduced by 70 to 80 percent.

Rather than calling their return a defense, it was more like…

A gift for free!

They were taken away by Red Flame Qiong Qi and the other sprites that had long prepared for this.

There was no longer any suspense in the battle.

The time was fixed at 56 minutes and 43 seconds. Whale Island University’s tower attack was successful.

The champion team of the High School League… had appeared!

“Let us congratulate Whale Island University for winning this year’s High School League championship! Congratulations to them!!”

The whole place was in an uproar!

Countless gazes looked at the big screen, where five figures stood on the top floor of the tower.

Especially the youngest and most handsome contestant!

Su Hao!

At this moment, this name was remembered by countless spectators.
