Chapter 147 - Killing Eyes

Chapter 147: Killing Eyes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Whale Island University had a total of eight Heavenly King-level professors.

But...

Not every professor was at school.

In fact, the Heavenly Kings often spent more time in the New World than in school.

They returned from time to time and left again.

“Apart from those three Heavenly Kings who haven’t appeared in school for a long time, the other five are actually all here?”

Heavenly King of Ten-Thousand Wood: Wu Cuizhi!

Martial Fight Heavenly King: Butcher!

Wind Heavenly King: Yu Hongfei!

Heavenly King of the Vast Ocean: Wei Mingyuan!

Heavenly King Demon Ghost: Yan Lanhui!

Heavenly King Yan was the only female Heavenly King. She was middle-aged and exuded a cold and stern aura. Many instructors only greeted her, seemingly not daring to get too close.

Heavenly King Bu was the most eye-catching Heavenly King in terms of size. Even though Su Hao and the other students were still a good distance away from the central viewing platform, they could still see Heavenly King Bu’s striking body and explosive muscles.

This Heavenly King was the easiest to recognize. One look and he would leave a deep impression.

As for the others, Su Hao only deduced that they might be Heavenly Kings after seeing them sitting in the front row.

“But why does that one look a little familiar?”

Heavenly King Wu from that day only had thick and shiny black hair. He didn’t have much of an aura.

But today, the Trading Puppet stood behind him. Its Psychic powers raised some wind, making Heavenly King Wu’s hair and clothes flutter slightly.

There seemed to be some special effects that could attract attention.

It showed the aura of a big boss.

...

After the five Heavenly King-level big shots took their seats.

The challenge round also entered the preparation stage.

A teacher walked onto the stage.

Next to him was a Dream Owl—the final evolved form of the Silk-Cotton Owl. As a sprite skilled in using sound, it used its power to spread the words of its mentor far and wide.

“Now, the new students who are planning to participate in the challenge segment will be allowed to enter freely. All of you have five minutes to prepare. You can choose to occupy an advantageous terrain, join forces with other sprites, prepare killer moves, etc… In five minutes, the irregular battle will begin.”

As the voice of this tutor fell, many sprites immediately moved, running towards the entrances of the surrounding platforms and entering the simulated battlefield below.

There were even more sprites who could fly.

With a gurgle, Reverie Butterfly bent over and flew down from the platform that was dozens of meters high.

Flaming Cloud Crow and Water Unicorn Beast followed closely behind.

One spread its wings and the other stepped on the air. The three sprites quickly landed on a high ground on the battlefield.

...

On the spectator stand.

The instructors looked at the sprites and communicated.

“There are a total of 29 elite-level, five more than the previous batch.”

“Not bad, not bad. There should be some good seedlings among them.”

“Neither of the two I thought highly of in the previous cohort were good, but the speed of improvement in the second year was average… I think it’s more appropriate to unearth gold that has been temporarily buried, those are the potential stock.”

“The challenge segment is originally a chance for outstanding new students to showcase their abilities. How do the weak perform? They have to gradually showcase their talents. Otherwise, who knows what kind of gold it is?”

“But we have to confirm the student list that we’re leading before the 1st of September. We need at least three people… Can’t we slowly wait for us to unearth the potential stock?”

“Then you have to talk to the principal…”

The instructors were discussing who was a good seedling, who came from which Sprite Trainer family.

From time to time, he would look at the five people sitting at the very front.

“Even if there are really very outstanding seedlings, it’s not our turn.”

...

On the first row of the spectator stand.

The four Heavenly Kings each took a seat.

Heavenly King Bu sat on two chairs, which made cracking sounds as if they couldn’t bear the burden.

“The quality is so poor, who exactly is in charge of purchasing!”

When the other instructors at the back heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

He had no idea how dense Ning’s muscles were!

Of course they didn’t dare to say it.

However, Heavenly King Wu took a glance and couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Can you be a little more calculative in Muscle Slaughtering? That’s destroying the school’s public property!”

“Why are you here instead of going to exercise your muscles in such good weather?”

Heavenly King Bu said, “Isn’t it our duty as professors to attend the freshmen challenge segment?”

He felt a little uncomfortable sitting there. He pulled the chair and broke off the whole back of the chair with a click.

Staring at the back of the chair in his hand, Heavenly King Bu silently stood up.

He summoned a Master Dog—the smallest among all his sprites.

After the Master Hound, which was about 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall, appeared, it raised its head and looked at the Sprite Trainer who was a few heads taller than it. Then, it also silently… stretched out its palms.

Earthen yellow light emerged, turning into a hard, solid stone chair that could accommodate Heavenly King Bu’s size.

Heavenly King Bu knocked on the door. It felt pretty good, so he sat down.

The construction completed master hound disappeared in a flash.

The other Heavenly Kings :”…”

Heavenly King Wu’s eyelids twitched.

Since when did this devil muscular man have the patience to watch a group of newbies fight?

And Old Wei, Hong Fei, and that woman, why were they all here?

Was it a coincidence?

Heavenly King Wu was very thoughtful.

He observed the others calmly.

Like him, Old Wei and Hong Fei spent more time in school and attended more challenges at school.

Heavenly King Wu wasn’t too surprised that the two of them were attending.

But...

“No, no, even if they discovered Little Su’s excellence, I made preparations in advance. I still have the greatest advantage!”

Heavenly King Wu quietly watched the battle.

...

The size of the simulated battlefield was comparable to 20 to 30 football fields.

In a 5v5 High School League, the venue was wide enough to support many tactical arrangements.

But about six to seven hundred sprites rushed in at once, making the scene very chaotic.

It was in a prestigious school.

Every new student was a well-known figure among their peers, and their sprites were also well-trained.

Chaos was chaos.

But he also restrained himself from fighting before the official start.

It made the spectating teachers nod slightly.

Su Hao walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.

The dense foliage and steep cliffs blocked his vision, but he could still see the whole situation.

Whether or not a sprite could use a contract as a connection to send a message during the battle was also a test of the freshmen’s standards.

Su Hao then looked towards the end of the battlefield, where he couldn’t see anything.

“It’s said that eight senior brothers and sisters of level two have already let their sprites enter the arena in advance.”

“The highlight of the challenge segment is whether or not you can defeat your senior brothers and sisters’ sprites.”

Even if they could win in a group fight, it was still a win.

Organizing abilities was also a part of showing one’s abilities.

But in a complicated environment, experienced sprites like the big and second-level ones wouldn’t leave many opportunities for them to be attacked.

“Unfortunately, it’s too far away. I can’t see the information on those sprites.”

The small map on Su Hao’s interface had a limited range.

Besides, with thousands of sprites around the simulation battlefield, it was also very difficult for him to screen them one by one.

It was up to Reverie Butterfly to showcase itself.

...

On the battlefield.

The three of them occupied a higher area and observed their surroundings.

Some sprites hid in the woods.

Some sprites ran around feeling like they had nowhere to go.

There were also sprites, six to seven, eight to nine… more than ten of them combined.

“Strange, why isn’t anyone looking for me to join forces?”

Su Hao touched his chin and felt that it shouldn’t be.

Was it because he was too handsome and out of place with others?

He felt that it was.

The tutor on the high platform gave the order.

Bang~!

The battle began.

A sprite attacked first. Flames, frost, water bullets… All kinds of unique skills intertwined into a rain of bullets.

A few sprites were in the midst of a battle. In the midst of their pursuit, they arrived in front of the Su Clan battle team.

He saw three sprites that didn’t seem to be easy to provoke.

One of the sprites roared. The six sprites that were originally fighting wildly actually joined forces and rushed towards the little rascal and the others.

Aggression filled the air.

“Neighhh?”

The Water Unicorn Beast requested to battle.

But it was rejected.

The Reverie Butterfly, which acted as a commander, floated down from the high ground at an adequate speed.

Butterfly wings glowed with emerald green light.

Its gaze swept over.

There seemed to be dense mist in his big, watery eyes, like a dream.

The few sprites who were using unique skills froze.

The next moment…

It collapsed.
