Chapter 380: Lava Fire Cave Evolution Field

If the young man had not dramatically walked down from the clouds… then he wouldn’t have appeared to be so imposing.

Aside from the clouds, the young man’s iron tower-like body was also surrounded by a substantial baneful aura, a sharp and fierce aura that could make people shiver with just a glare.

But none of that could rival his best characteristic…

There was only one characteristic that mattered—his handsome looks.

But a sharp-eyed passerby Sprite Trainer noticed that the extraordinary sprites that were lazily waiting at the east gate have all suddenly jolted. Their eyes became sharp, and a whirlwind appeared in their terrifying aura. The muscles on their limbs tightened, and it seemed that they had already entered battle mode.

The reason why these sprites looked like they were facing a great enemy was naturally because of the terrifying pressure exuded by Su Hao’s… shadow.

A pseudo monarch was only half a step away from a real monarch-level sprite, and it even had the majestic aura of a king. Even if only a trace of this aura leaked out, it would be enough to make the extraordinary sprites present tense up suddenly and enter a battle-ready state.

This pressure came and went quickly.

Under the comfort of their respective Sprite Trainers, the sprites quickly dispelled the nervousness in their hearts, but the ten Sprite Trainers who came for the interview were still secretly shocked.

No matter how many legends they have heard of the young man, it still felt different to meet him in person.

Only after seeing him did they truly understand how powerful this Sprite Trainer was.

Despite being younger than all of them, he was just so powerful that one couldn’t help but revere him.

“Let’s go.”

Su Hao said, “In the next three days, I will be watching all of you closely. Only half of you will be allowed to remain. Of course, if you have any questions you want to ask me, you can also…”

They didn’t really have any questions. They just kept thinking about how they could use these three days to showcase themselves and fight for the spot of a member of the team.

However, three of them couldn’t help but look surprised when they heard this.

These three knew something the others didn’t. They knew that the person in front of them was not only a powerful intern inspector, but also a top-notch genius who won the Union Supernova Cup. They also knew that he was the author of the Fallen Evolution research paper from a while ago, a brilliant Sprite Cultivator!

The consultation fee for such a Sprite Cultivator was astronomical. Besides, there was no way to find this consultation normally.

Given that they would be able to receive free consultation from him, even if they couldn’t be selected to join the team, they would still be able to profit from this experience!

However, they quickly dismissed their thoughts.

It was precisely because of the inspector’s generosity that they had to do their best to enter this team and fight for a bright future!

Among the three Sprite Trainers who knew the inside story, there was a man wearing glasses who hadn’t spoken much. Compared to the others, he knew the most about Su Hao.

Not only did he know that Su Hao was responsible for the Fallen Evolution, but he also knew that Su Hao was not just a Sprite Cultivator who’s good at sprite evolution. In the information he found, he knew that this inspector was also proficient in the design of cultivation plans. He was aware that every plan this inspector had designed always perfectly conformed to its sprites, allowing their development speed to increase by several times!”

Not just several times faster than regular plans, but several times faster than the plans designed by well-known Sprite Cultivators.

The man in glasses had gathered all of this information from the Internet. He had already verified all of the information, which was why he was especially surprised.

Ordinary people were always shocked by his evolution theory or surprised by the fact he won the first place in the Supernova Cup at the age of 20, but they all neglected how important his perfect cultivation plans were.

The man in glasses thought to himself: It’s just that my strength is too weak. I’m practically the worst or second-worst among everyone. I wonder if I would be able to impress the inspector…

…

Along the way, Su Hao was also secretly observing everyone. He was paying attention to their performance and their sprites.

He was especially interested in the special telekinesis sprite “Digital Flying Dragon”. It was his first time seeing one.

At first glance, the Digital Flying Dragon looked like an ordinary western dragon. It was relatively large in size, and its wingspan was four to five meters long. But after Su Hao observed carefully with the “same frequency” connected to Butterfly, he discovered…

Su Hao discovered that the entire body of the Digital Flying Dragon was interweaved by countless pieces of code… Just like the elemental sprite Tide-Calling Spring Sprite, its body was just a digital body.

Not only could it break down and regroup, but it could also deal out deadly damage.

“The only downside is that this Digital Flying Dragon was cultivated a little badly. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have had its limit placed at the extraordinary mid-level.”

Su Hao guessed that it might be because rare sprites lacked accessible data and analysis cases, and even high-level Sprite Cultivators found it difficult to come up with suitable cultivation plans.

…

In the area that surrounded the Red Rock Town, all that one could see was red-brown earth. The people here couldn’t see any plants, and the sun was always blazing.

But active volcanoes that could erupt at any moment weren’t everywhere either. There weren’t any near the Red Rock Town.

Last time…

The active volcano range Su Hao went to was located dozens of kilometers to the west. Fire elements were active there, and it was one of the best fire-element evolution venues in Dragon Nation.

Now, the place he was going to was located on the east side of Red Rock Town, also dozens of kilometers away. The fire elements contained in this area were even more terrifying, and it also contained a lot of high-level materials.

This area was called Lava Fire Cave. It wasn’t far from Red Rock Town, but very few Sprite Trainers would go there to explore.

There was only one reason—it was too dangerous!

“I did some research. The ground of the entire Lava Fire Cave is very unstable. Flaming pillars can emerge at any time, but there are still patterns that we could follow. We can judge from the traces left on the ground where to tell where it’s safer to walk and where it’s more likely for the flame pillars to erupt.”

One of the Sprite Trainers applicants spoke first, wanting to leave a good impression.

Su Hao had not told them where their destination was before they set off, but it seemed that the short Sprite Trainer who had just spoken had investigated all of the surrounding environment and even looked up information on some key areas beforehand.

Now, it was obvious that his hard work had paid off.

The others also spoke one after another. Some were good at scouting and analyzing. They all said things that made sense. Some of them had especially strong sprites that were able to defeat the extraordinary-level sprites that came from the lava in just a few moves.

They all did their best to showcase their unique abilities.

Su Hao just smiled the entire way, but he really wanted to tell them…

He wanted to tell them that there was really no deeper meaning in choosing this place. He had chosen this place purely because it was where the Dazed Crow’s ritual was to be held and he wanted to save time.

It was also Su Hao’s first time here.

But he acted like he was very familiar with the place.

Butterfly’s perception had already swept across the Lava Fire Cave long ago, and then transmitted the information into his mind through an illusion projection. He also had the information provided from the interface map… In fact, he could barely keep himself from revealing where there was the Pillar of Flame, and where there were the hidden wild extraordinary sprites…

He knew about everything.

“Seeing as they’re doing their best, I’ll let them be.”

He pondered.

After circling around the fire cave, finally…

Waves of heat rolled in front of them, almost turning into flames as they rushed towards them.

But Su Hao’s eyes lit up—he had found the most suitable evolution venue!

…

At the same time…

Half a day after Su Hao set off, the big boss of the Dark Society who received the news was excited.

“He finally went to the New World!”

“He’s in the area of Red Rock Town. This is our chance. Quickly, send our people over. Be careful, there are many master-level Sprite Trainers around the target…”

“You’re bringing so many bodyguards with you? That’s pretty cautious of you, but I’ve prepared even more people. I’ll send three officers and twelve master-level… If it weren’t for the fact that there are only so many master-level subordinates with legal identities in the Union, and there are no other entrances in the Red Rock Town area, I would have sent even more people over.”

It was clear that this Dark Society Heavenly King was someone who did things steadily. He paused for a moment and continued, “But don’t worry, I also hired a top-notch professional assassin from the hunter platform. I’ll definitely make sure the target doesn’t return alive…”

The Heavenly King in the darkness smiled and didn’t say anything else.

But his laughter contained absolute confidence.
