Chapter 84 - Sprite Hunter

nThe profound meaning was the sublimation of skill.

nDifferent from unique skills, it was a more comprehensive method of usage. Apart from the technique of using spiritual force, there were still many things that were unclear.

nProfound Meaning and unique skills did not conflict with each other.

nApart from the Profound Meaning of Wind, the Leaf Blade Warrior had also used Slashing at that instant.

nOrdinary and basic unique skills, once integrated with profound meaning, would become a powerful killer move.

nSu Hao was very interested in the profundities.

nIn his eyes, the Leaf Blade Warrior, who was originally not weak, had reached a relatively strong standard after being added with the Profound Meaning.

n“Can I unlock the profound meaning by watching some battle videos of extraordinary sprites?”

nThinking about it, it probably wouldn’t work.

nAlthough such videos were rare, he had more or less seen them before.

nUnfortunately, there was no response on the interface.

n“After I enter a university, especially a prestigious sprite school, I’ll be able to come into contact with a lot of Sprite Trainer experts. There’s no need to rush now.”

nDespite all these, Su Hao still couldn’t help but click on the purchase button.

nIn an instant…

nCountless information flowed into his mind.

nIn a daze, he felt like he became a sprite dancing in the wind.

nOf course that was an illusion.

nAfter an unknown amount of time, Su Hao finally let out a breath as white mist curled up around him.

nAt the side…

nSeeing how Su Hao was staring at the Leaf Blade Warrior the whole time, Zhu Mingda couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me… that you really want to learn the profound meaning of Imperial Wind?”

n“But let’s not talk about money first. Even if you want to learn, I can’t teach you.”

nOne could only learn profound meaning from a professor at Magic City’s Sprite University.

nHe paid the tuition fee, and the professor didn’t forbid students from teaching others privately too.

nBut…

nHe wouldn’t be able to teach others.

n“To this day, I still don’t understand what profound meanings are.” Zhu Mingda said, “At that time, I passed my Leaf Blade Warrior to my professor’s Wind Chasing Horse. Even after learning for a whole month, I barely managed to learn a little.”

nProfound Meanings required personal guidance.

nTherefore, there was no cultivation method for Profound Meanings on the Union’s shopping center at all.

nZhu Mingda showed a helpless expression.

n…

nTen days of training passed in a blink.

nWhether it was Little Fire Crow undergoing training, or Reverie Butterfly feeling sorry for the money, the two little rascals were both very hardworking.

nDing! Your sprite, ‘Little Fire Crow’, has learned the unique skill ‘Steel Wings’ during training. ”

n“Ding! Your sprite, ‘Reverie Butterfly’, learned the unique skill ‘Wind Ride’ during training.”

n“Ding! Your sprite, ‘Reverie Butterfly’, has… comprehended the unique skill ‘Tornado Strike’.”

n“Ding! Your sprite, ‘Reverie Butterfly’, has… comprehended the unique skill ‘Hurricane’.”

n“Steel Wings” was a universal unique skill that he had unlocked a long time ago for Little Fire Crow.

n“But Reverie Butterfly…”

nIt had comprehended three unique skills.

nAnd they were wind-element unique skills.

nAlthough the skills had relatively lower difficulty levels, Su Hao couldn’t help but praise it for being too awesome!

nHe looked at the emerald green figure in the storm.

nIt flapped its translucent butterfly wings and weaved through the strong wind with great ease.

nFrom time to time, visible wind blades appeared and whooshed over.

nThe Reverie Butterfly made a very graceful turn as the wind blades passed by. It looked like it was dancing in the storm.

nSuddenly…

nA strong wind blew past.

nThere were a few wind blades hidden inside, coming from different angles.

nZhu Mingda widened his eyes and wiped the sweat off his palms. However, he saw the figure of the Reverie Butterfly pass through the wind blades like a fish after a tremble.

nIt left behind afterimages on the spot.

nZhu Mingda was stunned.

nTen days…

nTheir training ground had already moved further in from the original middle section of the Valley of Sighs.

nEven Zhu Mingda’s Leaf Blade Warrior didn’t dare to step into the Storm Belt anymore. Reverie Butterfly, on the other hand, became much more graceful and natural.

nHow did it manage to accomplish that!?

nIt must be cheating!

n“That was…?” He turned to look at Su Hao and asked with some difficulty.

n“It’s the profound meaning, your Leaf Blade Warrior’s Imperial Wind profound meaning.”

nSu Hao was also surprised.

nAlthough…

nHe had unlocked the most perfect training method.

nAlthough…

nHe even transmitted some thoughts of the profound meaning to Reverie Butterfly through the contract.

nIt was undoubtedly thanks to him that the little rascal was able to learn the profound meaning.

nBut it was too fast!

nHe had originally estimated that it would take twenty days, but the little rascal learned it in just ten days, and it wasn’t just grazing the surface.

nLittle Fire Crow, which was also learning at the same time, was still in a daze right now.

n…

nAt the same time…

nIn the Valley of Sighs, two figures clad in snow battle clothes crawled down from a cliff against the wind.

nTheir movements were very agile, and there were even two sprites following beside them.

nA Killer Mantis.

nA Bursting Flame Bat.

nThis Killer Mantis was nearly a meter long. Its scimitar-like arm was embedded in the stone wall, and its compound eyes swept around coldly.

nAt this moment…

nA Fluffy Monster with particularly thick hair and a unique characteristic of the snow region poked its head out from underneath the rock wall.

nThe Fluffy Monster was the evolved form of Fluffy Ball. Its body was covered with a thick layer of snow, like a huge moving snowball. Only its two huge brown feet could be seen.

nThe wild Fluffy Monster appeared.

nIt didn’t notice the Killer Mantis covered in snow and the Bursting Flame Bat that was flying high in the sky.

nIt only saw two humans climbing down the mountain wall. Its eyes under its fur showed its excitement upon discovering its prey.

n“Ji~”

nSuddenly, its fur extended, passing through the thick snow that covered its body, and rolled towards the human figures on the rock wall like a rope.

nWood-element unique skill: Bind!

nIn an instant…

nThe Killer Mantis, which was sprawled on the rock wall, shook after being taken by surprise. Snowflakes exploded, and its slender body turned into a dark green shadow, arriving in front of the Fluffy Monster in the blink of an eye.

nIt slashed down its scimitar-like arm.

nThree slashes in a row!

nThe Fluffy Monster let out a cry of pain, its voice drowned out by the howling from the storm. Its thick hair was cut off, and its big eyes showed fear.

nKiller Mantis slashed again with a bright blade light.

nSlash—

nThe wild Fluffy Monster collapsed.

nThe human figure clad in the snow battle suit came down from the rock wall and kicked it, saying, “Heh, just a common Fluffy Monster, worthless.”

nAnother person said, “It doesn’t matter. Our target is only the Reverie Butterfly. As long as we can catch that sprite, we can sell it for a lot of money. There are already several offers on the Dark Net.”

nHe took out his tablet and dug out a photo.

nIt was a photo of Su Hao appearing at the Sprite Trainer Center in Magic City, with a Reverie Butterfly following beside him.

n“Since he appeared at the gathering center, he must be heading for the Valley of Sighs. But after all, it has been nearly ten days since we got the news and travelled here after searching for a breakthrough. That person may not be around anymore… We have to speed up.”

n“Fortunately, he came to the New World. Otherwise, this business wouldn’t be easy if he had stayed in Dragon Nation.”

nThey were just sprite hunters, not those lunatics from terrorist organizations who weren’t afraid of death.

nWithin the Dragon Nation, it was not difficult to catch an entry-level sprite off guard.

nBut it was hard to escape the laws.

nThe New World was different. It was hard to find someone if that person hid himself somewhere.

n…

nOn the tenth day, Su Hao prepared to return home.

nEvery day was money spent from his pockets.

nIf Reverie Butterfly hadn’t learned the profound meaning, he might have stayed for two more days. But now, there was no need for him to do so.

nWhat?

nYou said that Little Fire Crow didn’t learn it? Just let the Reverie Butterfly teach it!

nIsn’t it reasonable for Big Sister to teach her underling?

nThey walked back along the mountain wall, preparing to pick up Little Fire Crow first.

nAt this moment…

nDream Butterfly called out.

nSu Hao looked back. There were two figures walking towards them against the snow.

nHowever, there were only two paths to the Valley of Sighs.

nThe road on the left side of the mountain wall and the road on the right side of the mountain wall.

nIt was not strange that there were other Sprite Trainers. Su Hao had also encountered some in the past ten days, just not many.

n“It’s someone else, right? Who’s that guide?”

nZhu Mingda looked over.

nBut with the snow and wind, he couldn’t see clearly.

nAt this moment…

nOut of habit, Su Hao glanced at the map nearby. An icon representing the Killer Mantis was approaching rapidly.

nBut he couldn’t see it.

n“Something’s wrong, retreat!”

nSu Hao pulled Zhu Mingda back.

nReverie Butterfly got the message and started fanning the snow in front of it.

nA visible swirl of wind blew across the snow, lifting the thick layer of snow.

nSeeing how he couldn’t hide anymore, the figure in the snow battle suit a distance away stopped pretending.

n“Attack!”

nA dark green figure rushed out from under the thick snow. The thin wings on its back flapped slightly, and it flew up in a straight line. Its arm, which was like a scimitar, cut through the white swirl of wind and went straight towards the Reverie Butterfly that was flying at a low altitude.

nDue to the lack of manpower in the Union and the slow pace of research on new sprites, I opened a crowdfund for sprite stickers in the book review section of Qi Yuan and QQ reading. Hope that you big bosses can leave behind valuable data materials for me to read.
