Chapter 139 - The Development Direction of the Water Unicorn Beast
“There are all kinds of evolution venues here? The effect is better than the New World?”
Those were only the most basic matching venues for Whale Island University.
Su Hao skimmed through the common areas of the five elements.
He took a few more looks at the introduction of the lightning-element sprite evolution field.
It was a valley with a special magnetic field. Thunder rumbled continuously all year round. Su Hao looked at the photo of it. The scene was comparable to the “Celestial Tribulation”.
The evolution venue of ghost-element sprites was an abandoned town.
On the surface, there didn’t seem to be anything special, but in fact, it was a “land of extreme Yin”. It was surrounded by rich Yin energy and lifeless atmosphere. It was normal for ordinary people to go crazy after walking in it for a while.
But abandoned towns were the favorite of ghost-element sprites.
It was as warm as home there.
Not only could it allow for the completion of the evolution of ghost-element sprites, from time to time, new ghost-element sprites would also be born inside.
As long as one spent a certain amount of credits, one could enter it to look for rare ghost-element sprites to contract.
Su Hao was indeed a little tempted.
Ghost-element sprites didn’t have physical bodies. Firstly, it could fuse with his shadow to act as his bodyguard.
Secondly, it could work with Reverie Butterfly.
The little rascal constructed dreams, while the ghost-element sprite could shuttle through the dreams, one inside and one outside, and they could be of great power together.
“But now is not the time to contract a new sprite.”
He looked at the three sprites.
The current mission of Reverie Butterfly was to increase its various basic attributes, mainly mental strength.. It wasn’t too far from elite level.
Flaming Cloud Crow was currently the main damage dealer, it needed to continue sharpening its attack strength.
It also needed to increase its meat level appropriately.
The prerequisite for damage output was survival.
“Flaming Cloud Crow has the Flaming Feather stance, but its flames are too ordinary. If it can nurture special flames, its battle power will definitely increase greatly.”
As far as Su Hao knew.
There were two ways to nurture special flames.
The first was to cultivate in a special place and absorb flames. Over time, it could improve the “quality” of its flames.
The second type..
They would have to acquire precious fire seeds and fuse them with their sprites.
“I have to use the credits sparingly now. The second option is a PASS, the first option shall be reserved. I’ll pick a cultivation environment later and see if I can trigger the corresponding cultivation plan.”
Last was the Water Unicorn Beast.
Su Hao looked over.
In order to let it evolve faster, the Water Unicorn Beast currently didn’t have any special cultivation directions.
Its battle power was only slightly stronger than ordinary entry-level sprites.
He could consider making arrangements for it now.
Su Hao flipped through the cultivation plans of the Water Unicorn Beast in his mind.
It belonged to a comprehensive development type.
“My previous plan was to cultivate it into a close-combat meat shield.”
That wasn’t impossible.
But..
In the combat test, if it weren’t for the Water Unicorn Beast, even if Reverie Butterfly and Flaming Cloud Crow were very strong, Su Hao have had it so easy.
During those two days, apart from resting time, he basically rode on the Water Unicorn Beast the whole time.
“Since it’s designated as a mount, it’s not very suitable to cultivate it in the direction of the meat shield.”
An image surfaced in Su Hao’s mind.
When facing enemies.
The Water Unicorn Beast let out a cry: I’ll block it!
Then, it carried him up and faced the enemy’s sandbag-sized fist head-on.
The scene was too beautiful.
It was unimaginable.
“The most important factor for a mount is that it can run. It can run fast enough.”
Even the new students’ enrollment manual mentioned that there must be a sprite that could be ridden on. Those with conditions would make the choice of a flying mount better.
The developmental direction suggested to the freshmen in the manual had never prioritised battle power.
Rather, it was their life-saving ability!
Therefore..
Su Hao chose two high-level unique skills for the Water Unicorn Beast first.
Cloud Steps!
Water Path!
Cloud Steps was a universal unique skill, suitable for sprites with feet.. It was said that sprites in the form of spiders were the best at performing this unique skill.
When sprites used Cloud Steps, they could create afterimages.
Its speed and agility would both improve significantly.
When the unique skill Cloud Steps was trained to a high level, it could even temporarily step on air. Combined with the Water Unicorn Beast’s natural ability to step on air, it was double the joy.
Water Path allowed the Water Unicorn Beast to leave a water path wherever it passed.
Mist filled the path.
Unique skills could only slightly increase a sprite’s speed, but.. they could restrict the enemy.
As the old saying goes, speed is relative.
As long as I cause the enemy to run slow enough, it wouldn’t be able to catch up to me.
“Not only that, the Water Path can also provide the sprite with the “home field enhancement” effect. As the pursued party, it can also use the Water Path to complement other water-element unique skills to complete the counterattack.”
Cloud Step and Water Path were both high-level unique skills.
It couldn’t be found on the Internet.
Usually, Su Hao could only buy it at the Union’s shopping center to unlock the advanced edition.
But..
“We’re already students of Whale Island University. We don’t fancy the Union’s shopping center anymore!”
He opened the manual.
He saw the introduction of the school library.
One of them specialized in recording unique skills and profound meanings. It was more comprehensive than the Union’s shopping center.
After all..
The Union’s shopping center faced the masses. As long as Sprite Trainers had money, anyone could buy them.
Sprite Universities’ students were their real sons and direct descendants.
“Besides, the unique skill and profound meaning of the library is considered an ‘ordinary item’. The cost of borrowing it is much cheaper than the Union’s shopping center!”
The ones that were truly expensive and required credits were consulting instructors, or hiring others to teach them one-on-one until the sprites fully learned.
..
Su Hao left the Water Unicorn Beast and Flaming Cloud Crow at the villa.
He only brought Reverie Butterfly to the library.
“You have to look at the training methods of unique skills more to guide the Flaming Cloud Crow and Water Unicorn Beast, so you can guide them, understand?”
“Gurgle?”
“Did you forget what you promised when you took your phone?”
“Gurgle (o ° ω ° o)”
Reverie Butterfly used its unique skill, its cuteness, to smoke through.
The unique skill was ineffective.
Reverie Butterfly fell to the ground.
“Gurgle (oT-T) Corpse”
Of course, Su Hao wasn’t a demon.
He was just saying. He didn’t plan on letting Reverie Butterfly supervise the training of Flaming Cloud Crow and the others.
After all..
He had also prepared training tasks for Reverie Butterfly. There was no more time.
At the entrance of Lakeview Court.
When Su Hao walked out, he actually bumped into the same batch student in white again.
When the two met, their footsteps paused for a moment, and their gazes met.
The Reverie Butterfly on his head and the Ice Six Tails on his shoulder were similarly staring at each other.
The atmosphere was solemn.
Sparks seemed to be crackling in the air.
After a long time..
The boy in white snorted. “You’re pretty good, but I’ll be the winner.”
Su Hao spread his hands. “Good luck to you, whatever.”
..
Whale Island University sent out a certain number of recommendation letters every year.
The higher-ups had used special anti-counterfeiting methods, so it was easily recognisable.
But there was also a difference between each recommendation letter.
Like who sent it out.
“This letter was actually given by Heavenly King Xia, he wanted to pass this to Heavenly King Wu.”
An instructor brought a recommendation letter and personally delivered it to Heavenly King Wu.
Heavenly King Wu, full name Wu Cuizhi, was titled Heavenly King of the Woods. He was also one of the eight Heavenly Kings of Whale Island University.
The higher-up with real power.
He received this recommendation letter and was surprised.
historical
“That rascal Old Xia actually gave out a recommendation letter?”
As the president of Tiannan Province, Heavenly King Xia had a lot of recommendation letters in his hands. There were very few that he actually sent out.
Relationships? Not many people could move the Heavenly King Xia.
He couldn’t be bothered to recommend ordinary top students.
“He specially gave me the recommendation letter so that I can take more care of this new student?”
“Let me see who exactly can get the recommendation letter from Old Xia.”
Heavenly King Wu opened the envelope and slowly took out the letter inside.
