Chapter 326: Cleansing Flame, Glazed Flame, Butterfly’s Performance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Without a doubt, the “Holy Flames” was a fire-element treasure. He looked around and saw the burning gazes of the other fire-element sprites.

But…

It wasn’t a rule that only fire-element sprites could comprehend something from “Holy Flames”.

Therefore, it was very normal for Butterfly to have some comprehension… Like hell it was!

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

The emerald green butterfly flapped its wings slightly. The butterfly flew in front of Su Hao and looked at him. It took out… a small white glass bead from its skirt.

The bead circled around its little hand. With a bang, Butterfly returned to its original form in the misty smoke, the size of a fist.

Wisps of gray smoke floated out of nowhere and surrounded the ball.

For a moment, the whole precious ball was like clouds and mist, like a dream.

This state lasted for about dozens of seconds. The nature of the Sea Serpent Qi that filled the treasure ball gradually changed, as if flames were thrown into a flammable gas. Instantly, raging orange flames attached to the white treasure ball and burned.

The energy of the precious ball in the flames continued to be injected, and together with the “Illusionary Transformation”, it created the “Flame Treasure Ball”.

Butterfly had mastered this skill a few months ago.

The first element in the world that could simulate change was fire, and now, its three precious balls could freely switch to the three elemental energies—fire, water, and thunder.

However, it still didn’t look like much.

The true power of the “Flame Treasure Ball” was only equivalent to a fireball blasted out by an entry-level sprite.

It couldn’t even compare to Butterfly’s random Psychic sweep.

“Spiritual Treasure Ball Transformation Bead Mirage Energy Bead Illusionary Transformation” was expanded. For the time being, it could be considered a secret manual of Water Fire Thunder Energy. Su Hao had once thought that it could only be used on magic transformations.

It had no practical use.

However, at this moment, the orange flames had subtle changes. Within the ordinary flames, traces of mysterious characteristics were still born.

It was difficult for him to describe it with words, but his intuition told him that the characteristics of the ball’s flames were the same as the “Holy Flames”!

Butterfly had really comprehended the flames!

“Gurgle ~ ~”

Butterfly spun around in mid-air for two weeks, its cries carrying a sense of lightness and ease.

It was the joy of solving a difficult question.

After all, comprehending “Holy Flames” was also slightly difficult for Butterfly ~!

…

Even if it had a trace of extraordinary characteristics, the power of the “Flame Treasure Ball” was still trash.

But it meant that it had broken the original limit and could continue to improve.

It also meant that Su Hao had found the direction.

Butterfly had returned to its old profession. It was talking about its own insights, the nature of the flames, how to understand “Holy Flames”, and so on. Its expression was very serious and all it needed now to become a lecturer was a pair of glasses.

Butterfly had the aura of a lecturer..

After hearing it, Su Hao seemed to have understood something.

After all, he was a genius. It was just that as a human, and as an ordinary human who didn’t cheat, his perception of energy was far less clear than that of sprites, so…

Well, that was definitely the case.

At this moment, Butterfly’s detailed explanation made him suddenly enlightened.

On the interface, the long awaited, high-end reference answer finally appeared.

It was the secret technique of the Holy Flame belonging to Butterfly.

“Gurgle ~!”

Butterfly wrapped up the lesson, and the burning flames on the precious ball were extinguished.

Su Hao looked at the other little guys.

He directly ignored the distracted Big Fat Bear and Dumb Unicorn… In any case, he didn’t expect them to understand.

He only looked at Dazed Crow.

After staring at it for a while.

The Dazed Crow’s head turned 90 degrees. “Squawk ~?”

It still looked like it didn’t understand a single word!

You dumb crow!

Suddenly, there was a tug on his pants leg. Su Hao lowered his head and discovered a pale hand reaching out from his shadow and pulling him.

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He was already used to similar scenes.

It was Ah Yan.

Can’t you speak properly!

Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~

“Oh, so you also understood a little. Not bad, no… what!”

Su Hao was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He bent down directly, reached out to the shadow, held Ah Yan’s head, and pulled it out.

The black-robed Ah Yan, who was forced to come out from its shadow, could only stretch out his hand. A cluster of faint flames appeared on his fingertip.

It also carried a very weak but detectable trait.

Su Hao pondered.

Everyone knew that sprites could learn unique skills of other elements apart from their own attributes, so…

He looked at Dazed Crow. As expected, you are too dumb to be part of the group.

“Squawk?”

…

“Holy Flames” should be the highest-level treasure he had seen so far.

It was a treasure one or two levels higher than top-grade materials.

On the interface, there was also very little information about “Holy Flames”.

There was only one sentence. “Magical flames with multiple characteristics.”

There was no information on where it came from, but just by looking at the luxurious Fiery Bird’s attitude towards the “Holy Flames”, one could tell that it wasn’t only the guardian of the “Holy Flames”, it was also taking the opportunity to constantly comprehend the Glass Flames.

Even Fiery Bird valued the flames, so Su Hao naturally didn’t hesitate… to unlock the “Glazed Flame Ball”.

It wasn’t expensive, only 11 Intelligence Points.

The mid-level knowledge that surged into his mind was just a secret manual upgraded from comprehending the “Holy Flames” and combining it with the “Flame Treasure Ball”.

It was impossible to cultivate the real “Holy Flames” through this.

“According to the reference and answer in my mind, as long as there’s some guidance, sprites can rely on their own continuous cultivation to master the weakened version of special flames, but…”

“Cultivating by comprehending the ‘Holy Flames’ is completely different from cultivating by yourself. The efficiency is dozens of times or even hundreds of times lower.”

He originally wanted to rely on his own hard work to modify cultivation methods suitable for Dazed Crow and Yama Ghost King, but this was a rare opportunity. He really didn’t want to work hard on his own…

“Ding-Dong, 6 Intelligence Points deducted.”

“Ding-Dong, 6 Intelligence Points deducted.”

The more detailed knowledge about the “Holy Flames” surfaced in his mind, filling in many details. He could say without being modest that he was now superior when it came to the understanding and comprehension of the glazed flames on the torch in front of him.

“Everyone here is…”

Cough, cough, I should keep a low profile.

The originally difficult to capture magical rhythm was now abnormally clear in his perception. It was as if he could reach out and…

Whoosh!

“Huh? Do I really have a superpower?”

Looking at the flames that suddenly rose on his palm, Su Hao discovered that he wasn’t excited at all. Instead, he was slightly bored.

“You succeeded too, brother.”

The arrest officer Xia said as she held two balls of flames in her palms, constantly throwing them up and down…

It was like she was performing acrobatics.

At this point, there were clearly more than one or two people who had comprehended flames.

“No wonder I’m not excited at all.”

What’s the point of life if you can’t show off!

As expected, I’m just an ordinary person ~ ~

…

Near the torch was the Golden Eagle Federation team.

Whoosh!

Another genius looked at his sprite, comprehending some unique power of “Holy Flames”, and nodded approvingly and proudly.

But…

When he looked up and saw the sun-like young man in front of him, with glass-colored flames burning between his hands, all his arrogance disappeared.

“Fighting alongside the Sun Son often makes people doubt their own significance.”

“Don’t doubt it, we’re all indeed insignificant… You, me, all of them.”

Time ticked by. The sun rose and fell.

The whole venue had always been very quiet. Everyone, every sprite, was quietly thinking and comprehending.

Halfway through, a staff member also brought over lunch boxes.

But not many people ate.

The less time they spent on eating, the more time they could spend on thinking and comprehending.

What about hunger? It wasn’t important. Everyone present was a master-level Sprite Trainer. It wasn’t a big problem to starve for two to three meals.

“… Smells so good.”

When the Sun Son escaped from the state of enlightenment, he felt hungry.

It was because he had consumed too much energy.

He picked up the lunch box, which was still warm, and started eating madly.

Then, he looked at the time. It was already morning. Outside the stadium, the sun should have just risen. There wasn’t much time left for comprehension.

Sun Son felt a little regretful.

“But compared to others, my gains are definitely the greatest.”

He looked at his main battle sprite, the Fire God Soldier formed by flames. Its body already had some glazed colors.

“According to my estimation, if I can stay here for three days, the secret manual of the Fire God Soldier’s” Glass Body “can be completely completed. However, the rest will only take some time.”

Every fire-element sprite he contracted benefited from it, and their battle power increased visibly.

Even Sun Son himself was a natural born ability user. The Sun Fire also increased by a level. When used on sprites, the increase in strength became even more terrifying.

Finally…

“Time’s up!” Duke Andre’s words spread far and wide. “Now, those who have comprehended the ‘Holy Flames’, stand here. Those who haven’t, stand there.”

Many Sprite Trainers were awakened, just like how the examination time was already up, but the answers were still blank.

Their expressions immediately became very anxious.

But soon, they calmed down again.

There was no other reason… Standing on the right, there weren’t any sprites who could comprehend anything from the “Holy Flames”. There were simply too many Sprite Trainers!

Ninety percent of the people didn’t gain anything.

Despite that, these people were all still geniuses!

Some were shocked at the difficulty of the assessment, while others were ashamed of themselves.

At the end of the day, trash is still trash!

Facing a cluster of flames, they didn’t understand how to comprehend something just by staring at it!!

They looked to the left at those who claimed to have comprehended something.

There was admiration mixed with doubt in their gaze.

…

Duke Andre walked to the left area and swept his gaze across. “Come, show me what you’ve comprehended from the ‘Holy Flames’.”

The nearest young man was sweating a little as he looked at the Bursting Flame Bat beside him. He saw milky white flames rising on the Bursting Flame Bat’s wings, burning, burning…

However, Duke Andre continued to stare. After a while, he said, “This is your so-called comprehension?”

“Isn’t… isn’t it?”

“Tell me, what qualities did it comprehend?”

“I, I, it…”

Under the Duke’s oppressive gaze, the nameless npc youth panicked. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything. He only walked to the opposite side with a look of shame.

There were a few others with him. Knowing that they couldn’t bluff their way through, they lowered their heads and secretly slipped away.

Duke Andre ignored them, but in his heart, he labeled them as “unworthy”.

They continued to test the results of the others.

One by one, fire-element sprites executed unique skills that they had just comprehended.

Su Hao was also watching.

The power of these fire-element unique skills wasn’t strong, but whether they possessed some characteristics of “Holy Flames” could be sensed at a glance.

“Glass Flame that enhances characteristics? Not bad!”

Duke Andre, who walked in front of a Flaming Divine Hound, praised.

He saw that the Flaming Divine Hound’s fluffy hair was stained with some glazed colors. Su Hao opened the interface and took a look.

Flaming Divine Hound (Glass Flame Enhancement)

It was Xia. Her other sprites had also comprehended the Glass Flame Enhancement.

“It’s different from the characteristics comprehended by Butterfly and the others.”

It was quite interesting.

From the same cluster of flames, different people, different sprites, could comprehend completely different things from it.

At this moment.

Not far away, a Fire God Soldier pressed its palms together.

Whoosh!

Amidst a wave of flames, a small half of its body turned into glass color.

It was similar to the Glazed Light enhancement model of the Flaming Divine Hound.

But…

Just the visual impact and general perception alone was enough for one to tell that the enhancement of the Fire God Soldier was much higher than that of the Flaming God Hound.

They weren’t on the same level.

“Very good, to actually be able to evolve the Glass Body to this extent in a short period of time.”

Duke Andre praised.

Sun Son raised his hands again, two clusters of flames appearing in his palms. “Grand Duke, please take a look.”

“Oh? It’s actually a flame with healing characteristics, and you comprehended it yourself. When used on a sprite, it’s equivalent to giving a sprite a passive ability that can continuously recover… Very good!”

When Sun Son heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Even though he had expected to come first, he was still very happy to be praised by a big shot like the Grand Duke.

He couldn’t help but cast his gaze towards Su Hao.

At this moment…

The Dazed Crow made a “Squawk” sound. It focused and held its breath. The feather saber lengthened and slashed out a blade light with some glazed colors.

“The power amplification has the characteristics of a broken armor.” Duke Andre nodded slightly.

Actually, you’re already pretty good. It’s just that it’s impossible for anyone of the same age to know more about fire than me… The Sun Son’s smile grew even wider.

But at this moment, Su Hao, who only had one fire-element sprite, said.

“Grand Duke, please wait a moment.”

Then, Su Hao took out a black-robed sprite from the shadow. “Come, show your flames.”

Flames?

What flames?

Wasn’t it a ghost-element sprite?

The Sun Son wasn’t the only one who had the same thought. All of them widened their eyes and looked at him suspiciously…

White, yellow, and orange flames emerged from the pale palm.

It gave them a clearer feeling than the previous Flaming Spiritcrow.

“Purification characteristic. Interesting. A ghost-element sprite actually comprehended the purification characteristic. Not bad, not bad.”

“Anything else?”

Duke Andre asked.

He was just asking casually, but…

“Yes, of course.” Su Hao looked at Butterfly. “Begin your performance.”

Grand Duke: “!!!”

In his eyes, a white precious ball flew over. Suddenly, glass-colored flames leaped up.

It burned quietly.

The characteristics it possessed, after careful observation, were…

“Amplification and purification can be alternated between two different characteristics at will?!!”

The three precious balls with glazed flames kept changing. Wisps of flames interweaved, and under his perception, the Duke discovered that the other elements in the surroundings were all dispelled.

It had a domineering aura that could purify everything.

It was already very proficient in using the flames of purification.

After dozens of seconds, the performance ended. The glass flames were extinguished, and the three precious balls flew back into Butterfly’s hands.

In the hands of a wood-element sprite.

A wood-element sprite…

Wood-element…

Wood…

How can a wood-element sprite like you understand fire better than a fire-element sprite!!

The Sun Son, who was very knowledgeable, suddenly couldn’t understand this world.
