《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 146: The Heavenly Kings Are Here!

"That's it?"
On the way back to the dormitory, Su Hao was still in disbelief that the school opening ceremony was actually so… short!
Instantly, his impression of the vice-principal improved by a little.
"Old Su, which instructor are you picking?"
Liu Ren said, "Whale Island University has 10 first-level instructors, 18 second-level instructors, and 25 third-level instructors…"
No matter which level instructor it was, they were all master-level Sprite Trainers.
Or advanced Sprite Cultivators.
The instructors of prestigious schools were all at this level.
"Third-level instructors are usually ordinary master-level… Which means they are Sprite Trainers with only one or two extraordinary-level sprites."
"Second-level and first-level instructors are stronger, there is an obvious difference in strength…"
And resources they had, too.
Experts controlled more resources. Who wouldn't want to learn under the name of a powerful instructor?
Liu Ren had a bitter look on his face. "The school has a rule that every instructor must mentor three or more students… But there are only 159 people altogether. Some instructors may mentor one or two more students, but it's definitely not that many… We also have to exclude some instructors who have important matters and aren't at school."
He estimated himself. "There are approximately 180 students who can be personally taught by an instructor."
And one batch, had 1100 students.
Liu Ren knew his place, and it was below average.
"The challenge segment tomorrow basically has nothing to do with us anymore. If there is, it will also serve as a backdrop to show off the excellence of you guys…"
"It's probably very difficult for us to gain the attention of the instructors, but you're different. Most of the instructors will certainly send invitations. Old Su, you have to consider carefully."
Liu Ren was indeed an intelligence expert. In just ten days, he managed to find out information about most of the instructors.
"Let me tell you, this instructor Shang Jianyuan is a first-level instructor, and he has a daughter from the same batch as us. Her looks are 90+, if you choose him then you can… hehehehe."
Big Mouth Liu lowered his voice and let out a kind of "beeping" laughter.
In an instant, he analyzed another instructor seriously.
"This instructor named Le Hongying is the only first-level teacher who specializes in illusion techniques. She's very suitable for Butterfly God… I just heard that she may have a bad temper during that time of the month."

"This instructor Ming Hongda isn't bad either. He's famous for being outspoken and forthright. It's said that he owns quite a lot of industries under him. The benefits of being his student are great."
"This… instructor Bi Yabi isn't very suitable."
He glanced left and right, moved closer and said, "Although Instructor Bi is in the the top three among the first-level instructors and has hope of reaching the Heavenly King level… he doesn't have the mood to mentor any students at all. He only accepts a few to fulfill the numbers. Becoming his student is like not having a teacher at all."
Lastly, Liu Ren added,
"There will probably be Heavenly King-level big shots arriving tomorrow. It's best if Old Su has a Heavenly King-level invite you. There's no need to hesitate, but you have to consider which other instructors want to choose and make necessary preparations."
Su Hao nodded.
Liu Ren was really thoughtful.
Originally, he didn't have to look into this—after all, the possibility of Liu Ren being invited was indeed infinitely close to zero.
These information was indeed useful to Su Hao.
"If there is no invitation from a Heavenly King-level professor, then… choose between Instructor Le and Instructor Ming."
No Heavenly King levels taking a fancy to himself?
Having come into contact with three Heavenly Kings who seemed to have very good tempers, Su Hao had some level of confidence.
But he did not dare to be too sure.
Who knew what the Heavenly King level big bosses were thinking?
Heavenly King Zhou, Heavenly King Xia, and Heavenly King Wu didn't look like they had any intention of taking in a disciple.
But Su Hao thought, a Heavenly King working in a Sprite University should be… more enthusiastic about taking in students, right?
...
The next day.
8: 30 a.m.
The freshmen had already gathered in front of the simulation battlefield.
The so-called "simulated battlefield" was a huge battlefield, in which various geographical environments were concentrated within.
The battlefield was surrounded by tall walls, with wide platforms on the walls.
Su Hao was standing on one of the platforms. His field of vision was very good, and he could see the various terrain inside the simulation battlefield.
There were the most common woods and mountain terrain.
There were also water and swamp terrain.
There were also stone forests, flowing magma rivers, sentry towers with heavy machine guns, and so on.
There was even a straight and tall white tower at the end of the road.

"The simulation battlefield was originally built for the High School League."
At some point, Liu Ren appeared again. "Look, those two white towers symbolize what needs to be protected… The High School League emphasizes on teamwork. It requires investigation, intelligence analysis, and tactical planning… It's very complicated."
But today's challenge segment was not so complicated.
Only the sprites were involved.
To battle as they pleased.
There was no winning or losing, only displaying their own excellence, to win the favour of the instructors.
Su Hao looked at his surroundings.
At this moment…
New students could roughly be categorized into two.
The first type was ordinary new students who were preparing to go through the motions. It didn't matter whether they were outstanding or not—in any case, they were all being tortured.
The other type were candidates with actual competing capabilities.
His gaze was sharp.
He observed the terrain below and the other freshmen.
Su Hao patted Reverie Butterfly's little head. "I'll leave the battle to you to command."
After all, today's rules was only for sprites to enter.
"Gurgle~!"
It called.
The elite-level pressure had already been withdrawn.
But upon closer inspection, he could still discover that the little rascal was more charming than when it was at entry level.
Su Hao looked at the Water Unicorn Beast again. "Take it easy, don't be too reckless."
Water Unicorn Beast: "???"
Did he mean for it to not display its unique Wave Treading skills?
Probably.
It nodded to show it understood.
He wasn't worried about Flaming Cloud Crow. With its rich battle experience, it didn't have any shortcomings.
So, after waiting for more than ten seconds, Flaming Cloud Crow couldn't even hear any of Su Hao's battle plan.
It slowly tilted its head.
...
After the freshmen had arrived, the instructors of Whale Island University also came one after another.
They sat casually on the spectator stand.
They chatted and laughed as they looked at the group of relatively young freshmen.
The time drew closer.
The atmosphere of the competitive group of new students in the stands started to become confrontational.
Sprites exuded their suppressive aura.
It made those ordinary students and their sprites retreat with shock.
"Elite-level…
"Elite-level…
"Another elite-level!"
Powerful pressure exuded from the sprites.
Leaf Blade Warrior, Thorny Turtle, Two-Headed Hound, Lightning-Winged Dragon…
"Gurgle~!!"
Su Hao followed the little rascal's gaze and looked over. He saw the boy in white who was almost forgotten by him.
And his Ice Six Tails.
That Ice Six Tails was surrounded by a halo of spiritual force, the aura pressure it released was also elite-level.
It had broken through too.
When its eyes met the little rascal's, sparks sounded as if they were colliding.
Su Hao met another familiar person other than the boy in white.
Liang Fengcai.
The competitor he met during the College Entrance Examination, the Sprite Trainer of the Lightning-Winged Dragon, was second to him in the combat test of Tiannan Province.
He actually enrolled in Whale Island University too.
At this moment, the Lightning-Winged Dragon was releasing elite-level pressure.
"That's true. The Lightning-Winged Dragon was already at the entry-level limit during the combat test. It might even have broken through to elite-level earlier than the little rascal."
Su Hao's gaze swept across the elite-level sprites.
Observing if there were any that were of threat to his.
It was so that he could inform Reverie Butterfly in time and make an important note.
"That one is also elite-level, yet it's pretending to be entry-level."
It was probably going to launch a sneak attack after entering the arena.
Su Hao had no objections to this.
Right at this moment…
Puff~
Clouds were being swept in the sky.
A handsome Wind Chasing Horse descended from the clouds.
Someone sat on its back.
He leaped onto the spectator stand.
The surrounding instructors stood up and greeted him one after another to show their respect.
It was a Heavenly King!
All the new students looked over with burning gazes.
Not long after.
The space on the spectator stand distorted, and a man with neatly combed hair appeared.
He floated in the air, a Trading Puppet behind him.
After a long while, he landed and sat in the front row.
Another Heavenly King!
Bang bang bang!
It was as if they heard the sound of the ground shake.
A man more than two meters tall, dressed in a loose white training suit, revealing muscles like granite, walked over step by step.
It was an ordinary appearance, but he carried an indescribable pressure.
On the spectator stand, a first-level coach watched as Heavenly King-level professors appeared one after another. His mouth was slightly agape, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Why…
What exactly was happening…
All the Heavenly Kings in school had come?!!
