Chapter 378 - Four Levels of Monarch
Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~
When the Trading Puppet landed, Heavenly King Wu didn’t even bother to tidy up his somewhat messy hair. He just widened his eyes and observed the sprite standing in the center of the arena.
By now, another sprite had replaced the sprite that was originally standing there.
The Flaming Spiritcrow had been replaced by the Eternal Night Glory Concubine, dressed in a black and white dress as it raised up an arm. In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and countless dim stars spread out. On every star, there was a dazzling light that flashed.
Heavenly King Wu had seen this move before, but..
“The power exuded by the star is a little too strong, no?”
With the help of Trading Puppet’s perception, Heavenly King Wu accurately understood the power of the Flickering Star, especially since.. Heavenly King Wu knew very well that the most terrifying damage of the Star Explosion came from the explosion of light and darkness. According to his calculation, this attack is enough to threaten even a monarch sprite.
Was it using a secret manual that could increase its power?
Was the Flaming Spiritcrow and the Eternal Night Glory Concubine using the same secret manual?
He thought about it and realized that the shining stars weren’t blasting towards the Testing Stone Tablet like he expected them to, instead..
One by one, the stars flew out and collided in mid-air, but they didn’t explode. Instead, they looked like countless huge rocks that were stacked together. Dazzling white light pierced through the darkness, and the energy accumulated in the huge rocks reached a terrifying level. Heavenly King Wu discovered that the entire space was shaking faintly.
“I feel like I might explode at any moment.. Holy shit!”
Trading Puppet’s figure appeared behind him. Its Psychic Shield was like a huge bowl that was turned upside down, protecting Heavenly King Wu within.
The next moment..
Boom!
The unstable energy of the huge rock pile completely exploded. A terrifying storm wreaked havoc in the entire training field. Black and white energy flowed past with a rumbling sound, like a torrential river swallowing everything.
Su Hao also sensed that something was wrong, and he quickly squatted down and entered.. Ah Yan’s shadow.
After hiding for more than ten seconds, he finally came out. At this point, the raging storm had already gradually calmed down. The light of the barrier around the training hall faded, but a huge pit appeared in the hard arena in the center of the hall—this was even when the huge rock pile exploded when it was still ten meters away from the ground.
Su Hao took another look.
Before the Big Fat Bear could put on its armor, it activated Thunder God Overlord Body in an instant. However, the bluish-purple Thunder Bear’s shell had already been blasted through, and the Big Fat Bear turned into a charred black bear.
Seeing Su Hao return, the bear turned its head and looked over, dazed and sobbing.
It was as if it was saying, “Why didn’t you take me with you?”
Dumb Unicorn and Crow were doing slightly better than the Big Fat Bear. When they sensed the impending danger, they directly hid behind the bear—the point of having teammates was to use them to block bullets—especially since after the Big Fat Bear used Thunder God Overlord Body, the bear’s grip was very stable and wouldn’t be washed away by the violent energy flow. The entire Thunder Bear’s shell was also big enough to block 90% of the aftershock.
The most miserable sprite at the moment was the Eternal Night Glory Concubine.
Dressed in a black dress, its hair was messy, and its aura was a little dispirited. It was squatting in a corner of the venue with an innocent look.
But amidst the innocent look, there was also a hint of ecstasy triggered by witnessing the explosive art.
It had the urge to do it again.
“Go back!” Su Hao yelled out helplessly.
The Eternal Night Glory Concubine’s pitch-black Lorita dress changed inch by inch, turning into a pure white color. Bright white light emerged from its entire body and enveloped its entire body. Some damaged areas were being repaired at an extremely fast speed.
Its dispirited aura also gradually recovered.
For the time being, Su Hao wanted to stop his experimentation with the Myriad Domain.
After going through the enhanced Dazed Crow’s 100 golden lights slashes and the Eternal Night Glory Concubine’s brand new Star Explosion, Su Hao felt that more than half of his domain power had been consumed. Domain power was somewhat similar to soul power in the way that once it dried up, recovery would be quite troublesome.
“As expected, as a newly advanced Heavenly King, my domain power is still too weak.”
Su Hao sighed.
You call this weak?
Heavenly King Wu revealed a puzzled look. He really wanted to give his little junior a beating, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was better not to.
“Your domain is a functional type, right? How compatible are your sprites with your domain?”
“They’re all fairly compatible.”
Senior Wu :”..”
Alright.
He didn’t ask anymore. After all, the Heavenly King Domain was considered by some to be a private matter. Besides, this junior had only just advanced, so he still needed more time to familiarize himself with it.
Although..
This junior’s increase in strength and the durability of the domain were already comparable to some Heavenly King Sprite Trainers who had advanced for several years.
Senior Wu turned to look at Butterfly.
In his eyes, Butterfly looked similar to before, and had an especially inconspicuous appearance under its shrunken form, as if it was deliberately trying to act weak to deceive everyone. Its monarch rank’s powerful pressure had already been retracted, and one needed to exert a lot of effort in order to discover the great terror which was hidden in its tiny body.
A monarch rank Butterfly Fairy..
“I always knew you would eventually become a Heavenly King, but I didn’t expect you to advance to a Heavenly King so soon.”
Heavenly King Wu sighed.
He remembered that when this little junior had just entered the school. Back then, he only felt that he was a good seedling with the bearing of a Heavenly King, and thought of his advancement to the Heavenly King as nothing more than a possibility.
By the time this little junior joined the school team as a first-year student and even performed excellently in the league, he knew that Su Hao would definitely become a Heavenly King..
But he didn’t think that it would happen until a year or two after graduation.
However..
“Although as a second-year Heavenly King, Su Hao can’t be said to be the youngest person to become a Heavenly King in the history of the Union, it’s very likely that.. Su Hao holds the record for being the person who had advanced to Heavenly King level in the shortest time possible after contracting a sprite.”
Although he thought very highly of Su Hao, he didn’t reveal any of those sentiments when he spoke, “Still, the Union produces many geniuses every year, and so does our enemy, the alien tribes, so don’t be arrogant. Besides, sprites still have a long way to go after breaking through to monarch rank. Continue to work hard.”
“You’re right, I spent so many years just to advance to Heavenly King. I’m still too weak.”
Heavenly King Wu: “???”
He opened his mouth but before he could speak, he heard his little junior asking about information regarding Heavenly Kings and monarch sprites again.
He swallowed the words he was about to say and reorganized his thoughts. “To us Sprite Trainers, Heavenly King and monarch ranks are almost like ceilings, but you have to know that there is also a huge gap between the different ceilings.”
“Overall, our Union has divided monarch sprites into four levels: ordinary monarch, high class monarch, domain monarch, and nomological monarch.”
He paused before continuing to say, “A high class monarch refers to a sprite that has cultivated for a long period of time after breaking through, such as ten years, twenty years, thirty years.. This level also includes monarch sprites that already have deep foundations and powerful strength. Even a sprite that has developed to the limit of monarch rank is still considered as a high class monarch.”
“Apart from that, those with ordinary strength and insufficient accumulation are only considered to be ordinary monarchs.”
For example, the Sand Earthworm Dragon was undoubtedly an ordinary monarch, and it was relatively weak for its level.. After all, the Sand Earthworm Dragon’s attacking methods from the beginning to the end were very simple, and its threat level was only average.
Su Hao pondered.
Senior Wu continued, “After that, we have the domain monarch, which means that a sprite has its own domain.. It’s different from our Heavenly King domain. The sprite domain is a true kind of power. A sprite in its own domain is known as a god sprite.”
“Yes, I’m talking about a complete domain. Many Heavenly Kings have their own methods of creating incomplete and temporary domains at some cost.”
“Lastly, we have the nomological monarchs. You should know that the prerequisite for a sprite to break through to the monarch rank is to have a nomological mark, which is to obtain the nomological recognition.. But such recognition is very rare. To give you an idea, if a full nomological recognition is 100%, then the nomological mark may only be a trace, less than 0.1%.”
“And the nomological monarchs are sprites that have received full nomological recognition. It’s equivalent to being a spokesperson for nomology, or one who possesses the right to represent the nomology for a certain attribute. This is also the prerequisite for a sprite to break through to the Crown. Well, it’s one of the many prerequisites.”
After Senior Wu finished his explanation, Su Hao finally had a deeper understanding of monarch rank.
The division of Heavenly King levels was naturally related to sprites.
historical
At this thought, he couldn’t help but ask, “Then Senior, what level.. are you at?”
Senior Wu brushed his thick, glossy black hair. “Since you’re asking so curiously, I’ll let you know that your senior brother, who has only advanced to Heavenly King for more than ten years, is now..”
“..at the third-level. I’m a domain level Heavenly King.”
“You’re almost a crown-level?”
Su Hao yelled out.
Senior Wu’s mouth twitched.
Aren’t you forgetting about the fourth level..
