A few hours later.
"So he's not Old Wu's illegitimate son."
Heavenly King Wu was very disappointed, but when he turned around, his eyes shone brightly. "This little student is very outstanding. Could it be that… Old Wu wants to take in a disciple?"
He found out about Su Hao's experience right away.
First in the joint examination.
Tiannan Province's top scholar.
Mid-level Sprite Cultivator.
And he came from an ordinary family.
In this aspect… he was as surprised as Heavenly King Wu.
So Su Hao attracted his attention.
"What a pity…"
Su Hao had an ordinary physique. He wasn't strong, but he wasn't weak either.
However, in Heavenly King Bu's eyes, that small body was too weak.
It didn't suit his taste.
"No muscles, arms and legs are too thin."
"However, even though he was young and weak, he was able to stand up for himself in the face of a terrorist attack. His courage is pretty good. It's not impossible to train and nurture him to have a body of perfect muscles."
Heavenly King Bu thought about it.
It was decided.
During the opening ceremony, let's go and take a look. Let's express interest that little student named Su Hao. Maybe he can guide him to become a Heavenly King, to inherit his legacy.
...
Su Hao didn't know that the person he met that day was a Heavenly King. He was still training his sprites according to his own rhythm.
He got the Water Unicorn Beast a monthly card for Skyfall.
He gave the Flaming Cloud Crow a weekly card.
The next day, he let the two sprites train by themselves.
He only came over occasionally to supervise… Cough, guide them.
Then, he chose a special place for Reverie Butterfly to train.
— Mirror Forest.
Large numbers of crystal pillars as smooth as mirrors formed the Mirror Forest.
Mirror Forest was the most suitable place for ghost-element sprites to cultivate.
However, sprites of other elements whose mental strength met the requirements could also touch the crystal pillars of the Mirror Forest, pour in their own mental strength, and condense their own spiritual bodies inside.

The more the spiritual body moved between the crystal pillars, the more condensed it became.
The extent was large.
"The only limitation is that sprites can't cultivate in the mirror forest often."
But it didn't matter.
In his spare time, Su Hao also arranged a full set of training tasks for the little rascal.
As the Big Sister, not to mention anything else, its mission definitely wouldn't be less than the other two sprites.
Reverie Butterfly: "???"
This isn't what I wanted, gurgle ~!
Days passed.
Su Hao lived a very regular university life… Oh, actually, university hadn't started yet.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
The Water Unicorn Beast had learned two advanced unique skills.
Under the Skyfall, the Flaming Cloud Crow's Flaming Feather Form could last for five minutes before it was thrown into the 'Lava Hell' to cultivate.
Both sprites had made significant improvements.
As for Reverie Butterfly…
In Su Hao's eyes, behind the attributes of Reverie Butterfly, there was already a "limit" arc.
This meant that its various basic qualities had reached the limit that it could accommodate at entry level.
It could break through now.
"It's a little faster than I expected."
"But breaking through to elite level at entry level is even harder than breaking through to entry level."
"Many sprites need the opportunity to evolve to their final form before they can break through the bottleneck."
It wasn't time for Reverie Butterfly to evolve yet.
In fact, it hadn't even satisfied its prerequisite attributes. The evolution conditions of Fairy Butterfly weren't necessarily much easier than those of the pseudo monarch pathways.
"I can only rely on the little rascal to complete the breakthrough itself, ah and also with my help."
Su Hao understood.
At Whale Island University, there was actually a facility that could help sprites break through.
It was called the "pressure room".
It was integrated with gravity, high-level sprite pressure, and some invisible force that he didn't understand.
It pressed onto the sprite.
He made use of the pressure to complete the breakthrough in one go.

"According to the school intranet, the first attempt at the pressure room has the best effect."
"Even if the breakthrough fails, we have to grasp the feeling of breaking through. Otherwise, it would be a waste."
So Su Hao prepared to give Reverie Butterfly a few days off.
"Gurgle?"
"It's really a holiday!"
"Gurgle?"
"No interest counted. No extra training!"
"Gurgle?"
"Do you still want your holiday or not!?"
"Gurgle~"
Reverie Butterfly nodded suspiciously.
It relaxed its body and mind and adjusted its condition to its optimal state.
A few days later, Su Hao brought Reverie Butterfly to the pressure room.
It was similar to the regular training rooms. The pressure rooms were also a spacious, sealed room.
After the sprite entered, the Sprite Trainer could only stand outside and look inside through the glass window. If he really went in, he would be kneeling right away.
Su Hao came to the lobby to complete the procedures.
He saw a staff member who looked like a middle-aged woman sitting there playing with her cell phone. Beside her was a Moon Dancer.
Well… extraordinary.
Su Hao immediately changed his words. "Hello, teacher. I want to open a B-class pressure room."
The middle-aged woman looked up, her gaze sweeping across him and Reverie Butterfly.
"2 credits. You have to wait a week after failing before you can try again."
As she spoke, she took the temporary student card from Su Hao. There was some shock on her face. "A new student?"
She felt that Su Hao's attitude was pretty good and that he had potential. After thinking about it, she said, "Apart from the sprite itself, the Sprite Trainer's encouragement is also very important for a sprite's breakthrough.
"The so-called encouragement actually stems from the support of a Sprite Trainer's soul power. But at your stage, your soul power isn't strong enough. Apart from relying on a few fixed Sprite Trainers, you can't actually mobilize it.
"Encouraging and wholeheartedly supporting is the best motivation for sprites. Don't underestimate this. Research has shown that the more connected a sprite is with a Sprite Trainer, the easier it is to break through."
Su Hao nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.
Sprite Trainers and sprites were mutually beneficial relationships where you fed me and I helped you.
It was of a higher level and had a closer connection.
...
In the pressure room.
Wood-element B-class room.
The middle-aged woman left the Moon Dancer in the hall and followed him over.
"Let the sprite in. Inside, the pressure will gradually increase over time. It will reach its peak in the tenth minute and maintained for a period of time. Whether it can succeed depends on whether the sprite can grasp the opportunity to break through before the ten minutes are up."
Su Hao and Reverie Butterfly looked at each other.
To cheer it on.
"Gurgle?"
"Alright."
"Gurgle?"
"Sure… I guess."
"Gurgle?"
Su Hao picked up Reverie Butterfly, exerted strength in his arm muscles, and threw it.
Biu ~
A Reverie Butterfly was thrown into the pressure room. It flapped its wings to stabilize itself and widened its innocent big eyes.
The door closed.
Su Hao stood in front of the only window and looked inside.
He couldn't see anything abnormal.
But from Reverie Butterfly's gradually serious little face, he could feel that the pressure… was coming.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Time passed.
Su Hao and the female teacher stood outside the pressure room and watched quietly.
Before long, it was the tenth minute.
The pressure was at its peak.
The flapping of Reverie Butterfly's wings was very slow. Thick spiritual force surrounded it, making it emit circles of emerald green halos.
But...
There were no signs of a breakthrough on its body.
Through the contract connection, he repeatedly compared it with the interface data.
Su Hao realized that the pressure wasn't enough.
The little rascal was even gradually adapting to the environment of the pressure room.
He thought about it and had to ask, "Then, Teacher, can the pressure inside increase a little more?"
