Chapter 247: Experts From Each School (First Update)
Dragon City University was a comprehensive university, having both a cultural school and a sprite school.
Among the two schools, the sprite school was located in the suburbs of Dragon City. In terms of area, it was slightly smaller than Whale Island University…
“But half of the city opposite the entrance of Dragon City University is also considered part of their campus. In fact, if you measure it properly, Dragon City University is larger than Whale Island University.”
The local campus was mainly categorized into living areas, teaching areas, and training areas. The flowers and trees planted on the campus were tended by wood-element sprites every month. It was spring all year round and the scenery was very beautiful.
The accommodations of the contestants were located in the league village on the campus. To put it bluntly, it was a dormitory neighborhood that was used to accommodate the school teams.
In a villa, the living room was arranged to look like a meeting room. Information about the various schools was shown on the huge screen in front.
“These are the information publicly announced by the league organizers. You can all just take a brief look.”
The one who spoke was NPC Mentor Ma.
He was the actual person in charge of the school team. The nominal leader of the team, Heavenly King Bu, was only a.s.signed the role because they needed someone who could exert dominance when the team attended the league, and Heavenly King Bu Tu was a heavyweight who could show off his muscles at any time.
In front, Mentor Ma was pressing the remote control and flipping through the pages continuously.
Su Hao went through the names of the various school team members and their sprites on the big screen… But the information was really too brief!
Only names were shown, neither gender nor pictures were revealed!
Mentor Ma said, “There are a total of 108 Sprite Universities partic.i.p.ating in the High School League, with ten people in each school team. Their information is submitted by the schools respectively, and then released after the a.s.sessment by the league’s organizers.”
“It’s impossible to expect deriving valuable information from this. If you come across extremely detailed public information, you have to be wary whether it is a smokescreen released by some school.”
“Of course. After all, the organizers have verified the information so they won’t be fake. It’s just hard to determine whether they are misleading or not.”
“For example, our own information…”
He flipped to Whale Island University. The team leader, w.a.n.g Qi, was displayed on the screen.
Formal team members: Jiang Xiuqi, Qin Ya, x.x.x, Tong Shang.
Subst.i.tute members: …, …, …, …, Su Hao.
Su Hao looked at his own information.
His sprites were all listed here — after all, every one of them had registered at the a.s.sociation of Sprite Trainers — but they only had their names on the screen too.
Flaming Spirit Crow, Thunder Roaring, b.u.t.terfly Fairy, Water Cloud Horse, and Bright Night Spirit.
There was no specific level information, but this sequence had some deep meaning to it.
“Of course, the other schools wouldn’t easily believe the sequence listed above, but if someone launched an in-depth investigation, they would discover that… b.u.t.terfly stopped for a period of time due to the ‘lack of an evolution plan’, and Dazed Crow was indeed my first second-stage evolved sprite.”
“Mentor Ma is indeed cunning, but only someone as outstanding as me whose information was not revealed in time can hide from this.”
Su Hao touched his chin and came to a conclusion.
At this moment…
Mentor Ma released the second set of information. “This information is detailed data gathered by our school after we were given the partic.i.p.ants list.”
There were 20 identification pictures on the screen.
They were the school team members of Dragon City University and Fiery Bird University.
As for the other schools? There was no need to emphasize on introducing them. They weren’t underestimating their opponents, but rather, they had the confidence and courage of a prestigious school.
“w.a.n.g Dong, captain of the Dragon City University’s team. His ace sprite is a ‘Golden Body Buddha’.”
The corresponding image was released on the screen. It was a golden Buddha statue with a golden halo behind its head.
Mentor Ma said, “w.a.n.g Dong’s Golden Body Buddha is a very comprehensive sprite. It has no shortcomings in close-quarter combat, long-range attack, defense, and speed. Moreover, it cultivated a secret manual, ‘Golden Body of Earth’. When it is used, its defensive power can increase ten to a hundred times. It practically won’t be harmed, and it also has…”
He gave an example in the game. “It also has the Super Armor effect. Regardless of control or illusion, none of them can be effective against it. When used, it can also eliminate all the negative effects on the Golden Body Buddha. In the league, if it uses the” Golden Body of Earth “, it’s equivalent to being invincible. You don’t have to waste your energy to attack it.”
“But as the saying goes, there are no invincible skills. w.a.n.g Dong’s Golden Body Buddha’s ‘Golden Body of Earth’ is estimated to only last 3 to 5 seconds. The consumption of casting it is very high so there’s no need to worry too much.”
Mentor Ma took a sip of wolfberry water before continuing,
“The second person I want to talk about is Gongye Tianrui. You have to pay more attention to this person.”
“Gongye Tianrui is the captain of Fiery Bird’s school team. His ace sprite is Fiery Bird. It specializes in attack, speed, and life-saving… The school found out that the information on this Fiery Bird only stopped updating a year ago.”
“A year ago, during the previous High School League, Gongye Tianrui was an official member of Fiery Bird’s school team. Furthermore, his strength at that time was already ranked among the top five. Now, no one can say for sure how strong that Fiery Bird is.”
“He’s reputed to be the strongest team captain in the history of Fiery Bird University. When you meet his Fiery Bird, you have to be extra careful.”
Then, Mentor Ma introduced the other team members from the two prestigious schools.
He didn’t forget about the subst.i.tutes either. Among the subst.i.tutes of Dragon City University, there was actually someone who was also a freshman like Su Hao.
“Too strong, too strong! As expected of strong people from prestigious schools. They can all defeat veteran masters at such a young age. All of them are monsters ~!”
Especially since the Dazed Crow and the Big Fat Bear were only elite-levels. When facing the trump cards of the members from prestigious schools, no matter which sprite they faced, it was difficult for them to win!
Too strong!
How long had it been since he felt such fierce pressure!
“b.u.t.terfly, what do you think?”
“Gurgle~!”
It called. It only took a glance at the content on the big screen before it lowered its head, stared at Su Hao’s cell phone, and sank into contemplation.
…
At the same time, in a conference room in Dragon City University.
A bald instructor was introducing information about Fiery Bird University and Whale Island University.
“You need to be careful with Fiery Bird’s captain, Gongye Tianrui. In the team battle, as long as we can get rid of that Fiery Bird, we can win for sure.”
“As for Whale Island University…”
The bald instructor scanned the information. “The official members aren’t weak, but that’s all. None of them are particularly outstanding. With our lineup, as long as we fight steadily against Whale Island University, we can take them down.”
“Instructor, there’s a freshman subst.i.tute from Whale Island University. Will he be a hidden trump card?” asked a team member.
Immediately, someone shook his head. “Do you think everyone can perform beyond expectations like Little Qing? No matter how outstanding he is, he’s just a freshman. How special can he be?”
Someone looked at the bald instructor with a questioning look.
The instructor opened the information. “This first-year student Su Hao comes from an ordinary family background. He won the t.i.tle of provincial champion in Tiannan Province during the College Entrance Examination. He’s a very outstanding student.”
There was no lack of admiration in the bald instructor’s tone. “But of course, he’s just an ordinary person, not a natural born domainer. Whale Island University probably placed him in the school team with the intention of letting him train.”
After all, subst.i.tutes could also fight with many top students from other schools. It was very helpful in broadening one’s horizons and acc.u.mulating experience.
The bald instructor said, “This student is very likely to become Whale Island University’s trump card when he reaches his third or fourth year, but now…”
All the school team members in Dragon City understood what their instructor meant. They didn’t need to pay too much attention to him for the time being.
“Even if he becomes very strong when he reaches his third or fourth year, our school has Lan Qing. When she reaches her third or fourth year, I think it’s possible that she can single-handedly sweep through Whale Island and Fiery Bird!”
“Even now, Lan Qing’s strength is still… Compared to ordinary people like us, natural-born domainers always perform beyond expectations!”
As they spoke, many people turned to look at the girl who had been sitting at the end of the table in silence.
She was young, and had long, black, beautiful hair falling like a waterfall. Her fringe was neat and tidy, covering her brows. She just sat there and didn’t say a word, but she had an ethereal and indistinct aura, that detached her independent self from the rest of the world and other ordinary people.
Lan Qing, 17 years old.
When she was 15, a special ability was awakened inside her.
She was known as half a Heavenly King domainer.
And her domain was wind.
Wind Speaker, Lan Qing.
