《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 138: He's On Whale Island, Just Arrived At The Restaurant

"Challenge segment?"
"That's right," she said.
"The curriculum assessment is the main way for ordinary students to get credits. And the mission has many rich rewards, but the difficulty is also high. You will only be able to accept high-level missions when you are in your second or third year."
"The challenge segment for new students is the opportunity for you to earn a lot of credits."
The female teacher paused.
"You should know that in Sprite Universities, only outstanding students can get the favor of their teachers and become their students."
"With a coach personally leading the way, the difference… is obvious even without me saying."
"But how do instructors choose students to understand your past? Don't joke around, the teachers in the school are all busy people. Even if all of you are city top scorers and provincial top scorers, you are just ordinary students here."
"No one will know who you are. So, if you want to get the favor of a teacher, you have to show your strength."
"The challenge segment is your chance. The better your performance is, the more teachers will take a fancy to you, and you'll have more choice. At the same time, you'll get more credits."
When the boy in white heard this, he was already gradually excited.
Just as the teacher had said, wasn't this segment just a chance for the proud sons of heaven to show off… Cough, to show off?
If he could stand out, he might have a chance to get the favor of a Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainer and become a student of TA!
Bai Hongzhen was from a Sprite Trainer family, so his understanding of Whale Island University was much more than ordinary people.
At Whale Island University, only Heavenly King-level big shots could get a professorship title.
Other master-level Sprite Trainers were categorized into one, two, and three levels, according to their teaching abilities and abilities.
His heart was clear.
With his level, it wasn't difficult for him to be chosen by a level 1 teacher.
Level-one instructors were all experts among masters, and could even be called quasi-Heaven Kings.
But there was still an uncrossable gap between him and a Heavenly King.
The school stipulated that one, two, and three-level teachers must lead a certain number of students every year.
But a Heavenly King-tier powerhouse depended entirely on their mood.
Bai Hongzhen had once heard that at the start of a school term, not a single Heavenly King appeared.

That was really tragic.
No matter how well he performed, it was all for naught.
But usually, two to three professors showed up… It was another matter whether they accepted students or not.
He had only heard rumors.
His understanding was limited, and he didn't know if the rules had changed this year. He asked, "Then, teacher, what is the specific stage of the challenge…?"
"It's very simple."
The female teacher said, "In a special battle area, all confident people can arrange their sprites to go on the field… It's not just one, but how many you contract can go on the field."
"There are no other restrictions. It doesn't matter if you fight one-on-one or group battles."
She paused here.
"And the second level, your outstanding seniors will challenge you… Everything is up to you, as long as you showcase your excellence."
The boy in white was even more excited when he heard that.
All sprites could go on stage?
Then he had an advantage!
Among those in the same batch as him, many had similar backgrounds, but there were only two sprites—after all, there were too many contracts, and it was very easy to cause them to be unable to take care of everything. They would nurture one wholeheartedly, and when the sprites were more mature, they would nurture the next one.
Most people did so.
There were also those who wanted to use credits to exchange for contracting rare sprites after enrolling in the school.
What he spent the most effort nurturing was only that Ice Six Tails.
The other two were often taken care of by the family's Sprite Cultivators.
He communicated with them from time to time.
It wasn't that he couldn't command them, but the chemistry between them was definitely a bit worse.
He was confident that he was one of the strongest freshmen.
But...
Bai Hongzhen glanced at Su Hao.
There were also three entry-levels.
They were also people with backgrounds who could get recommendation letters and enroll in school earlier.
He was a strong opponent.
But as long as he made good use of the summer break to push Ice Six Tails into the elite level, at that time… even defeating his second-year senior brothers and sisters might not be impossible!
With a face full of confidence, he turned and left.
He didn't see the pitiful look in the female teacher's eyes at all.
Silly child, didn't you think about it? The school did give you a chance to challenge your seniors, but… could it arrange for ordinary second-year students to be the challengers?

Impossible!
They were all the best students in their second year.
The so-called challenge was just to let the proud children of heaven from all over Dragon Nation understand that there was always someone better out there. They just didn't want to be arrogant.
These… had always been Whale Island University's traditions.
There was no need to mention the female teacher.
After she recorded the information, she took out a map and pushed it over.
"Choose your own dormitory. The facilities are all the same, but you can choose as you wish when you come early."
Su Hao picked it up and took a look.
There were "Ping Mountain Court", "Lakeview Court", "Forest Court", "Centaurea Court" and various other neighborhoods.
At a glance, it looked like the layout of the neighborhood shown to customers by the sales office. Every neighborhood had signs such as 001, 002, and 003.
But not the dormitory building.
Those were all villas!
There was a large garden!
It only accommodated one student!
Besides, Whale Island University didn't charge tuition and accommodation fees!
Su Hao could only sigh. As expected of the highest-level educational institute in Dragon Nation. It was heroic enough, he liked it.
Since the facilities in the villa were the same, Su Hao chose a seat that he liked better.
Then, he took the room card from the female teacher and a thick new student enrollment manual before leaving the student management office.
...
"Beep, destination reached. Student, please alight."
Su Hao arrived at Lakeview Park.
He chose a villa by the lake.
The beautiful scene that greeted his eyes alone made him stay where he was for a long time. He took out his cell phone and took a few pictures.
On the lake that was glimmering.
A villa in a Chinese style.
The interior was exquisitely decorated.
And so on and so forth.
Su Hao took a total of nine pictures. Then… he opened up his WeChat and uploaded them onto his Moments.
"He's on Whale Island, just arrived at the dormitory."
Before long, the ticketing circle exploded.
All he saw was a row of "what the f*ck"!
And "you told me this is a dormitory"?
There was very little public information about Whale Island University, but information about ordinary sprite universities could be found online.
Sprite stream students wouldn't live in the four-person and six-person living space—after all, there were still sprites.
They were all single rooms.
But most schools still provided ordinary dormitories.
Those with large sprites had to be stored downstairs.
With this comparison.
They were a little jealous of Whale Island University's exquisitely renovated villa and courtyard garden.
Jealousy made them look detestable.
Right at this moment…
Liu Ren sent a reply. "Eh? Are all university dormitories individual villas? It's similar to my house, alright. I'm just afraid that I won't be used to living in university."
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
"Big Mouth Liu has really attracted a lot of hatred."
Seeing a group of envious and jealous classmates turn to denounce Liu Ren, Su Hao gave him three seconds of silence before putting down his cell phone.
They walked around the villa.
It was well-equipped.
The living room, bedroom, and all kinds of furniture were available. Even the kitchen was equipped with corresponding kitchen utensils.
There were also sheets and blankets.
There were also unopened toothbrushes, toothpaste, and so on. They could move in with their bags anytime.
Of course, he had to buy even more miscellaneous daily necessities himself.
There were facilities in the villa that he didn't like, and he could change them.
All these could be bought in Whale Harbor Town outside the school.
For example, the "elemental shopping" supermarket owned by the middle-aged man had furniture, daily necessities, clothes, food, and so on.
There was even a training room in the villa.
There were many "relatively ordinary" training facilities installed inside.
Su Hao was very satisfied after reading it.
At home, sprites could also enjoy training.
"Gurgle?"
Reverie Butterfly widened its eyes and puffed up its face.
Wasn't this term a little wrong? What did it mean by "enjoying"? Gurgle ~!
After helping the Water Unicorn Beast put away the luggage on its back, Su Hao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and took out the thick enrollment manual.
There was an introduction of the entire school's venue and facilities.
Whale Island University was very big.
It occupied an area no less than a first-tier city.
But the range of students' daily lives wasn't that big.
It was mainly in the dormitory area and the teaching area.
The other areas were all special environments. They were fixed on this island of Whale Island and were very magical.
It was possible that the area in front of him was the hot volcanic lava area. If he walked another ten to twenty kilometers, it would become a snow-covered area covered in snow… It was completely normal in Whale Island University.
Su Hao looked at them one by one.
