《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 191: As Long As I Slash Fast Enough... (Third Update)

It was unknown who gave the instructor the suggestion, saying that poorer performing students already had it difficult, so they could not survive taking the lead.
Therefore…
In the second assessment, the first person to go on stage was Su Hao.
The instructor wanted him to demonstrate, to give the people behind him some confidence.
Su Hao agreed.
He straightened his collar and walked forward step by step through the gap in the crowd.
In the surroundings…
As usual, countless gazes looked over.
Su Hao didn't look, but he knew that there were quite a lot of pretty and cute female classmates staring right at him.
"I wonder if they are envious of my talent or eyeing my handsomeness."
Su Hao felt that he had too many advantages and couldn't judge.
...
Standing in front of the Snake Passage entrance, waves of hot wind blew over.
Su Hao reached out and pressed down on his hair that was about to be messed up by the wind. He turned and said to the Water Unicorn Beast,
"I'll leave it to you. Bring out your training results from running dozens of kilometers a day!"
"Neighhh!"
It dug at the ground.
At the side, the instructor whose name Su Hao still couldn't name raised his hand.
"3, 2, 1… Begin!"
The Water Unicorn Beast dashed out.
It moved as fast as lightning, leaving behind afterimages.
It stepped onto the Snake Passage, and its body suddenly sank.
Su Hao saw that the Water Unicorn Beast paused for a moment under the influence of gravity. It seemed to have become much more difficult for it to run forward.
But it had trained too much in the gravity environment, it recovered in the blink of an eye and continued running forward.
With a "Neighhh", an aqua-blue protective shield appeared around its body. Withstanding the raging flames, it charged straight ahead.
It charged especially happily.
A fire dragon suddenly leaped out of the flames. The Water Unicorn Beast stepped on air and turned around on the transparent wall of the Snake Path.
It went up and down, left and right.
It walked with demonic steps, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
Every afterimage maintained a different posture.
Some looked like "riding a horse and flying a swallow".
Some were like "Water Unicorn Leaping over the Dragon Gate".

Some stepped on the roof of the passage and ran upside down.
The howling fire dragons.
Broken ice prisms.
The wind blades that shot over like lightning…
It dodged them easily.
It dodged in a flash.
It dodged with its flashy skills.
When it was a mount.
It had to abide by traffic.
It had to avoid pedestrians.
It had to be stable and not bumpy.
It had to maintain an even speed acceleration or deceleration.
Had to…
It was really too relaxing not having to carry Su Hao!
...
"Time, 8.43 seconds, evaluation A-," the instructor announced the result.
"Neighhh!"
The Water Unicorn Beast ran back and called out happily.
It seemed to be asking for credit.
Su Hao gave it a wooden club directly.
It was too arrogant!
You stupid Dumb Unicorn is arrogant again!
If it didn't perform those flashy skills, did it have to run for more than eight seconds!?
"Neighhh ~ Neighhh?"
...
The performance of the Dumb Unicorn… Ah, no, its demonstration made many anxious and fearful candidates heave a sigh of relief.
It seemed…
The instructor didn't increase the difficulty too much.
It was so easy for that Water Cloud Horse. Even if their sprite was inferior, it shouldn't be difficult to get a C, right?
"Next, Li."
After Su Hao, an unknown student went on stage.
He sent out the Two-Headed Hound sprite.
The Two-Headed Hound was only at the entry-level limit, but after seeing the Water Cloud Horse's performance, both the hound and its owner were confident.
Under Li's command.
The big dog with red fur spewed fire from its mouth. It ran to the entrance of the Snake Passage and bent its body slightly, as though it was gathering strength.
"…Begin!"
The Two-Headed Hound flew out like the Water Unicorn Beast just now.
It stepped into the Snake Passage.
Gravity suddenly enveloped it. The Two-Headed Hound's body sank, and panic appeared in its eyes.
What was going on?
It seemed, seemed, possibly, probably… the gravity was too strong!!!
It failed to maintain its balance and rolled forward with a "woof".
It hit the wall at the corner.
The fire dragon swallowed it.
Frost covered it.
The wind blade hit it.
The Two-Headed Hound was at a disadvantage in the beginning. Its dodging movements became more and more panicked and slow.

Ten seconds later…
When the Two-Headed Hound ran out of the Snake Passage like a dead dog, it directly laid down.
"Time: 56 seconds, medium degree of injury, disqualified."
Li :"…"
He looked at the Two-Headed Hound covered in injuries.
Then, he looked at the Water Cloud Horse whose hooves were stepping on air as if it was stepping on a wall and dancing on the streets. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
All liars!
...
There weren't any obstacles in the later assessment.
Liu Ren carefully used the Flaming Bat to get a "D" rating.
Gu Lingyao sent out her trump card, Tide-Calling Spring Sprite.
Tide-Calling Spring Sprite's specialty was that it had a lot of water and was very good at controlling water. It used the unique skill "Wave Treading" to prop itself up, and also used a water shield to protect itself. It walked straight, turned, and walked straight, and got a pretty good "C" rating.
Apart from his little friend from An City, the only other person Su Hao found a little familiar was… Bai.
The sprite he sent out was still the Polar Nine Tails.
In the Snake Passage, the white figure ran forward with graceful steps.
It was very agile.
From time to time, it used ice mirrors to block the incoming attacks.
But its speed wasn't fast enough, and it only got the B+ evaluation.
Su Hao turned to look at the Water Unicorn Beast "climbing the wall".
"Indeed, it was a very good decision to let you run dozens of kilometers a day, do push-ups, sit-ups, and other training."
...
The attack assessment and speed assessment lasted the whole day.
Apart from the break and meal time in the middle.
Su Hao's day came to an end under the sounds of "D", "C-", "C", as well as the admiring and shocked gazes of the surrounding students.
On the second day, Su Hao got up early and met with Liu Ren and Gu Lingyao.
"Songting's Master Hound from yesterday received the results of 'C' and 'C+'!"
The "Ping Mountain Court" where Li Songting was at was also taking the assessment on the same day as them, just that the examination area was different.
Liu Ren thought to himself.
Logically speaking, his Lava Dragon Turtle was already very strong.
But he only got one 'C' and one 'D'.
There was a huge gap between him and Li Songting.
As for Gu Lingyao, she also got pretty good grades for 'C+' and 'C'.
Thinking about it this way, out of the Four Little Heavenly Kings of An City, he he he… he was actually the worst?!
Liu Ren hugged his head and felt depressed.
"Tsk! In the final defense assessment, I have to get B at least!"
"Master Tortoise, come on!"
He cheered the sprite on.
The Lava Dragon Turtle spat out a mouthful of fire, but it still looked like an old man with no fighting spirit at all.
Liu Ren: Orz.
His frustration came and went quickly.
He shook his head and asked, "Which sprite are you going to bring on?"
"I… Well, probably still Lingling, right?"
Gu Lingyao turned to look at the Tide-Calling Spring Sprite.
Tide-Calling Spring Sprite indicated that it had to carry the flag. "Hum ~!"
"Yes, yes, it has learned many defensive unique skills, it can also resist."
"Old Su, what about you?"
Without waiting for him to speak, Liu Ren analyzed again. "Butterfly God and Fire Crow aren't suitable. Although your bear is meaty, it hasn't reached elite level yet… So, the only sprite you can bring on is that horse!"
"My deduction is correct, right?"
Su Hao looked back.
After Butterfly KO-ed the Polar Nine Tails, it lost its battle desire and really wanted to stay in the villa.
Flaming Spiritcrow was looking at him.
Electric Bear…
The Water Unicorn Beast was excited. It looked like it was going to float again.
"Your analysis is correct, so…"
"I will be bringing on the Flaming Spiritcrow."
Liu Ren: "???"
The Water Unicorn Beast: "??? ?+1" Its excitement directly froze.
Liu Ren didn't understand. "That's not right! Isn't your Fire Crow an… offensive sprite? And it never carries a shield!
"You just said that yesterday!"
"We have to learn to look at problems from multiple angles."
Su Hao had to give his little friend some pointers. "The school tests the sprite's defense ability, not its resistance ability."
"So… as long as it can get rid of all the enemies first, it won't lose a drop of blood."

8 53The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]
