Chapter 70: Silkworm Baby Wants To Get an ID Card
The explosion of the super-large energy ball caused waves of air to spread outwards.
Su Hao only felt a gust of wind slapping wildly on his face.
It messed up his handsome hair.
“How much…?”
He looked at the display screen above the target. The attack intensity was increasing rapidly.
Instantly, it exceeded 300!
400!
500!
In the end, it stopped at 588!
“What the f*ck!?”
Su Hao turned his head at the sound and saw the staff member’s mouth shaping like he could swallow a duck egg.
He didn’t even know how to straighten his glasses.
He was dazed for a moment, and hurriedly checked to see if there was anything wrong with the test data.
He received a slap from reality again.
Regardless of the data, just judging from the power of the explosion of this Energy Ball, was it something an ordinary mid-level sprite could have created?
Freak!
“Little Su, this Silkworm Baby of yours is really… really…”
No matter how much Coach Xiong thought about it, in his memory, he had never seen a sprite reach this stage despite just breaking through.
But he thought about it from another perspective.
The strength of this Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force had always been very high. Perhaps it had outstanding potential, but it was also related to Su Hao’s nurturing.
In addition, Silkworm Baby had absorbed a very precious Heart of Attributes, and its absorption rate far exceeded that of ordinary sprites. It was also said that Heavenly King Zhou had given them a spiritual spring reward… This was very likely the reason why its unique skill was so strong even though it had just broken through.
Coach Xiong’s analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which made Su Hao very relieved.
“It’s still a little reckless.”
But on second thoughts, Heavenly King Zhou witnessed how Silkworm Baby was a match for the White Seal, so he didn’t question any further.
This meant that although examples of Silkworm Babies were rare, there…were still people, and sprites, who could achieve it.
Perhaps the higher-ups had also mastered multiple compression methods.
Or perhaps they had other special cultivation methods.
Su Hao had no idea.
The power of Silkworm Baby’s Energy Ball somewhat exceeded his expectations.
But after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable too.
Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force was roughly equal to 0.9 entry-level sprites.
And now, after three compressions, it had completed the entry level break-through large compression too.
This was equivalent to 0.9+0.45+1 = 2.35. When ordinary unique skills were used, those skills would be more than twice as strong.
It wasn’t too much to charge 588 after that as well.
The staff member finally finished checking and verified that there was nothing wrong with the machine.
He swallowed and asked,
“Are you guys still going to continue?
“I mean, continue to see if it can break through 600.”
Silkworm Baby tried.
As it turned out, its first condition was the best.
In the last two rounds, it scored 580 and 566.
Its condition was gradually dropping.
It had no fate with the high-level title.
Su Hao didn’t find it a pity.
In any case, Little Fire Crow hadn’t broken through yet, so his current status as a Sprite Trainer couldn’t be raised to advanced level either.
…
The test was done. In a few days, he, Su Hao, would be an honorable mid-level Sprite Trainer.
“I heard that the form teacher of Class Three and Class Four is only mid-level.”
Su Hao felt that things were getting bad.
He was becoming a little arrogant.
He even felt the wind while walking.
But he couldn’t control himself!
“Now that you’ve reached entry level, you’ll also have to plan Silkworm Baby’s future development direction. The cultivations before and after entry level are very different. You, as a Sprite Cultivator, should understand this, so I won’t say much.”
Coach Xiong was very talkative today. He added, “Silkworm Baby’s final evolution is the Golden-Winged Sky Silkworm. Currently, there are two mainstream cultivation methods. The first is close-combat type…”
He explained.
Su Hao remembered the Six-Winged Flying Silkworm owned by an older Sprite Cultivator. Its development direction was linear slicing.
Its focus was on nurturing its wings and the sturdiness of its body.
It could easily cut through with unique skills and was known as a golden killer.
“The other type is a close-combat style of battle, mainly combining various unique skills. The main point is to let the sprite master various unique skills that can used for both long and short as well as far and close distances.”
“Your Silkworm Baby is very nimble in using unique skills. You can try to take the second path.”
“Of course, I’m just suggesting. The real choice depends on you and your Silkworm Baby.”
Su Hao could only nod at Coach Xiong’s kind intentions.
He had never thought of letting Silkworm Baby go through the sequence of the Golden-Winged Sky Silkworm.
But he couldn’t say it.
He could only wait for Silkworm Baby to evolve.
At that time, he would include reasons that he had already prepared long before. Then, he would “reverse-engineer” the evolution conditions for Silkworm Baby’s new path, publish one or several papers, and it would be done.
In the early years, when the evolution plan of sprites was still not perfect, many sprites evolved by chance.
The Sprite Cultivators analyzed and deduced the evolution conditions required according to the cultivation direction of their sprites, the environments during their evolution, the materials they prepared, etc.
After a few more experiments, it would be done.
Su Hao was preparing for Silkworm Baby to “coincidentally” touch another evolution pathway.
“Gurgle ~ Gurgle!”
Su Hao had just walked to the guild hall and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Silkworm Baby’s somewhat hurried calls from above his head.
He was still deep in his thoughts so he took a few more steps forward. Just then, Silkworm Baby grabbed his hair.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
Silkworm Baby grabbed his hair and twisted to the right like a pointer.
Su Hao stiffly turned his neck 90 degrees.
He saw a huge poster at the side of the guild hall.
An Elephant General wearing a customized suit stood at the very center of the poster. It wore a low-key and luxurious Flaxman watch and black sunglasses. Around it were a few sprites dressed similarly in trendy clothes.
Su Hao found this Elephant General a little familiar.
Thinking about it, didn’t he see it on the cover of that thick-skinned book—Elephant General Budd?
Did it just debut as an idol?
Su Hao looked over and realized that not everything was true.
It wasn’t promoting a certain product, but it was promoting the “Sprite ID card” by the Union of Sprite Trainers.
The little rascal was very envious, its watery eyes were fixed on those words and it couldn’t move away.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
“You want to apply for an ID card?”
Su Hao found it very troublesome.
This was the first generation Sprite ID card that the Union had just released. Its application was totally optional.
During the application process, the sprite was to be accompanied by a Sprite Trainer.
“Actually, it’s also pretty good to get an ID card for sprites,” Coach Xiong said at the side. “Many sprites of high-level Sprite Trainers need to undergo special cultivation and ‘training’ so they are often not brought around.”
“With Sprite ID cards, it’s much more convenient for high-level sprites to travel around.”
“It’s said that at the very beginning, a certain Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainer’s sprite went out to cultivate and when it headed home, it got lost due to its poor sense of direction. It wanted to ride a high-speed rail, but it couldn’t buy tickets because the Sprite Trainer wasn’t by its side.”
“It was only later that the Heavenly King proposed issues related to sprite travel at the Union meeting. In the end, it evolved into the first-generation Sprite ID cards.”
Coach Xiong looked at Su Hao’s Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow.
“After you apply for their identity cards, it’ll be more convenient no matter what you do in the future. I reckon that in a few months, the Union will implement a more comprehensive implementation. And right now, during the promotion period, you can apply for it for free.”
Hearing Coach Xiong’s words, Silkworm Baby nodded fervently.
The big guy was a good guy.
Little Fire Crow tilted its head.
Although it didn’t know why its boss was so enthusiastic, it just nodded along.
