Start With Contracting Sprites - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Heading South, Challenging Along the Way

The rain poured heavily. There weren’t many pedestrians on the originally bustling road, only cars continued to pass through, splashing water half a meter high.

Su Hao led the slightly disguised Dumb Unicorn and walked slowly.

The water stains automatically parted when he stepped onto the road. His shoes wouldn’t get wet even if he stepped on them. He didn’t raise an umbrella, but there was a curved sky screen blocking the bean-sized raindrops outside.

When he passed by, the passerby stopped in surprise. They looked up at their own umbrellas and seemed to feel that there was no more rain. When they tried to move the umbrella away, however… They were almost drenched by the rain. Then, they looked back at the person in front of them in shock. How was it possible for him to not get wet in the pouring rain?

“We’re here.”

Su Hao looked up at the grand building in front of him. In the rain, he could see a few large words that were still reflecting the light.

White Elephant Battle Club.

After leaving the headquarters of the Association of Sprite Trainers, Su Hao didn’t return to Whale Island with Senior Wu. Instead, he headed south alone with his sprites.

He stopped in dozens of cities and challenged the White Elephant Club everywhere.

As a national chain, and even a rather famous battle club worldwide, White Elephant Club had top-level battlefields, and a lot of active Sprite Trainers gathered there every day.

A group of battle fanatics was gathered.

Su Hao was different from them. He just liked to go there for the experience bags, and was more picky. He didn’t want low-level bags, and he wouldn’t go for the same high-level experience bag twice.

Therefore, he only stayed in each city for one to two days.

Then, he went to the next city and started a hearty battle with Sprite Trainers from different areas.

“Target: Go home before November.”

In the rain, he walked over slowly.

At the entrance of the club, a boy and a girl immediately came up to him.

The man was handsome… Of course, no more handsome than Su Hao was.

The woman’s figure was graceful and her face beautiful… She was worth an extra few more glances.

Then, Su Hao walked into the club hall.

The interior design was luxurious but low-key. If one didn’t have good eyesight, they wouldn’t be able to see that the pillars in front of them were made of precious materials.

Clearly, the White Elephant Club had a lot of money.

It was also related to the city it was located in. The more prosperous a city was, the larger the size of the White Elephant Club, and there would also be more Sprite Trainers.

“Zhongzhou City is indeed one of the largest cities in the country. The scale of this club isn’t any smaller than those in Magic City and Jing City. There should also be a lot of Sprite Trainers here. I can consider staying for a few more days.”

Su Hao took out his black membership card and said to the club staff,

“Prepare a medical team and the highest-level supplies for me.”

“Ah… Yes, please wait a moment.”

After swiping his card and deducting the fees, Su Hao walked towards the advanced area.

In the past, he used a temporary card at the White Elephant Club in Magic City. Now, it wasn’t just a permanent membership card, but a Supreme Black Gold Card.

There was only one reason—money!

He was in no shortage of money, so there was no need for him to mistreat himself. Of course, the Supreme Black Gold Card couldn’t just be bought with money alone. It was also a symbol of status, and coincidentally, his identity…

“Unknowingly, I’m actually a big shot in the eyes of ordinary Sprite Trainers. Even though I’m just a second-year university student!”

Speaking of second year, he remembered the video sent by Fatty Ren some time ago.

A group of newbies brimming with youthfulness had already entered the school, and the challenge segment had already ended.

Liu Ren said that this batch wasn’t good. Even though there were eight more elite-level Sprite Trainers when they entered the school, the whole challenge segment was still ordinary.

There was no Butterfly God to dominate the place.

So, Fatty Ren enjoyed being the one to dominate over everyone else.

That’s right, during the challenge segment this year, Fatty Ren was one of the eight Tower Protectors.

So was Gu Lingyao. The strongest Li Songting, on the other hand, didn’t manage to snatch the mission.

Perhaps it was because it was too shameful for the second-year students to be wiped out the last time, when it was Fatty Ren and the others’ turn to be the challengers, all of them were extremely steady, almost getting the new students to cry.

The spectating instructors were very disappointed.

They didn’t expect an outstanding performance, but at the very least, couldn’t they at least be half as good as Su Hao.

— All of this information was passed onto Su Hao by Big Mouth Liu.

Su Hao wasn’t at school, but his legend continued to spread in school.

And the rumors were already far from the truth.

With the Black Gold Card, Su Hao could enjoy the best treatment. Apart from a medical team that came and went as they pleased, as well as countless medical supplements (which cost money), the best thing was…

“The Phantom is challenging all the elite-level Sprite Trainers. Weaklings not allowed. You must be able to put up a fight.”

A loud and clear broadcast echoed throughout the entire battle club.

The little loudspeaker made many Sprite Trainers who were resting, watching, and even fighting look up in surprise.

“Who is it? How arrogant!”

“He’s actually challenging all the Sprite Trainers? Do you know how many elite-level Sprite Trainers there are in our Zhongzhou City? I bet he can’t last more than three of us.”

“I hate people who use the speaker the most!”

“You’ve actually never heard of Phantom?”

A veteran Sprite Trainer looked at the newcomers who didn’t know anything and shook his head. “A month ago, a Sprite Trainer traveled south and challenged dozens of Sprite Trainers from the White Elephant Club everywhere. He fought hundreds of rounds with just one elite-level sprite, and his win rate was above 90%!

“It’s because the sprite he used was as dark as a shadow that he got the title of “Phantom”. He’s publicly acknowledged to be very strong. It’s said that there are even Sprite Trainers who are extremely regretful because they missed the battle with the Phantom!”

At this moment, a muscular man in the battle area burst into laughter.

“It’s not in vain that I rushed here overnight on the high-speed rail. I guessed right, the Phantom’s next stop is in Zhongzhou City. Today, I must defeat the Phantom! As long as I defeat the Phantom, I’ll be able to join the Red Lotus Corporation’s exploration team. It’s just a matter of time before I reach the peak of my life. Ahahahaha—”

The newbie in the club widened his eyes. In their mind, they could already picture a person sitting with his legs and arms crossed on the boss chair. The corners of his lips curled up into a devilish smile. The shadow behind him grew infinitely and shrouded everything.

Hiss!

Their bodies trembled.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the entrance of the advanced area, “The Phantom is here!”

“So he’s the Phantom!”

“Make way, make way, let me see what the Phantom looks like!”

The rookies also went forward, stood on their toes, and looked around with all their might. Finally, they saw the person walking beside the club manager inside.

Their eyes widened even more. “He’s actually that handsome!!!”

…

The experience bags in the White Elephant Club were all full of enthusiasm. They were all extremely happy to be there.

Su Hao arrived at the advanced area, where the B-1 battleground was. This was a “simulated battlefield”. As the name suggested, it was a simulation of real wild environments, which allowed sprites to accumulate more field battle experience.

Despite looking real, it was still easily destroyed. Ordinary mountain rocks and trees were no different from tofu under elite-level destruction.

After a battle, they had to change venues. Compared to the “ordinary venues” made of high-quality materials, this was the real VIP venue.

Su Hao suspected that so many Sprite Trainers wanted to battle him because they wanted to take advantage and gain the experience from battling at the VIP venue.

Su Hao stepped onto one side of the Sprite Commandeering platform, and immediately, a buzzing sound was heard. The alloy floor of the venue, which was about the size of a football field, separated to the sides, and in the next moment, a large green and gray field slowly rose. With a click, it connected precisely to the surrounding edges.

The terrain was randomly chosen for the first round.

Most of the venue was a swamp, with weeds growing all over it. The soil was brown, and there was a muddy area with an unknown depth.

…

Su Hao started to summon his sprite.

Su Hao stomped his feet. A few seconds passed, but the shadow below was still calm, forcing him to rely on calling the contract.

The next moment, the shadow swayed slightly. A figure half black and half white with fluttering hair was thrown out.

Su Hao had been challenging Sprite Trainers from all over the world all this time to help Bright Night Spirit gain experience.

When the Bright Night Spirit achieved a sufficient foundation, Su Hao could arrange for it to evolve and help it reach its true battle power.

This was the way that was best suited for the elite-level Bright Night Spirit.

Master-levels weren’t as common as cabbages, so Su Hao usually didn’t fight one in the club.

Occasionally, however, Su Hao would get too cocky and provoke one of the master-level Sprite Trainers. When that happened, Ah Yan would be the one to battle.

“But recently, my name has gradually spread among the clubs. People would stop getting offended despite my provocations and I haven’t been getting as many opponents as I once did, let alone opponents of the master-level.”

“Am I not cocky enough?”

“Or maybe I haven’t been throwing out enough insults?”

Su Hao couldn’t help but wonder. Then, he saw that Bright Night Spirit, who was thrown out by Ah Yan, was holding a phone in its hand.

“Fufu ~ Fufu ~!”

It held onto the phone tightly, its expression very focused. Only after a long while, did the Bright Night Spirit finally notice the difference in its environment. It looked up at Su Hao and became nervous.

“Fufu… Eh…”

The screen on the phone turned black and white.

At this point, the palm-sized Butterfly also flew out of his shadow. “Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!”

“The battle isn’t over? That’s not a problem.”

Su Hao took the phone from Bright Night Spirit, pointed at the field and said, “Go and fight in peace. Leave the rest to me.”

“Fufu… Fufu ~”
