Ten-Thousand Wood Manor.

Heavenly King Wu, whose hair was combed neatly, was personally tending to the flowers and plants in the manor.

He wanted to trim these flowers and plants neatly.

"Fortunately, Little Junior has asked less questions recently."

That was how he could be so carefree.

The hair that had fallen in the past also showed signs of growing back.

Heavenly King Wu was in a very good mood.

Suddenly,

He heard shouting from outside.

"T-Teacher…"

A person ran over hurriedly.

"Xiuqi, what's wrong? Did something big happen? An expert from the Dark Society is wreaking havoc?"

"No, no." Jiang Xiuqi panted. "Student Su, he…"

"What happened to him?!"

Heavenly King Wu thought that something had happened, so he raised the big scissors that was pruning the plants.

Jiang Xiuqi shuddered violently, and his speech became much smoother.

"No, Su Hao entered the special training camp! He defeated Lei Tan who was originally ranked 97th!"

Heavenly King Wu: "???"

That expression seemed to say: Are you kidding me?

Jiang Xiuqi expressed with his eyes: I had the same thought when I first found out.

"Little Su's improvement is actually so exaggerated!"

Heavenly King Wu was well aware of Su Hao's capabilities…

Cough, from the looks of it, his understanding of Su Hao's strength wasn't comprehensive enough.

He originally thought that Su Hao could enter the special training camp at the end of the second semester.

Now, it seemed only one semester had passed.

But...

When the fourth-year students graduated, he would roughly be able to enter the top 50 by then!

The meaning was completely different!

"Did you bring the battle footage?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xiuqi took out a thumb drive. Inside was the battle footage recorded by the battle hall camera.

After Heavenly King Wu finished watching, he really wanted to let out a "what the f*ck".

But because Jiang Xiuqi was here, in order to maintain the dignity of a teacher, he forcefully swallowed it.

"It actually advanced the Flaming Feather Form."

He could naturally tell that Su Hao won largely because of his good tactics.

But if a sprite's battle power wasn't enough, no matter how good the tactical arrangements were, it would be useless.

As for that Flaming Spiritcrow…

The reason it was able to finish off the Purple Lightning Wings in a short two seconds was due to the blazing state of its whole body.

It was a secret manual he developed himself!

How many secret manuals had he developed?!

"In time, Little Su will probably be able to leave behind a lot of sect inheritances."

...

The next day.

Whale Island University, high-level meeting.

The muscular Heavenly King Bu sat down on the specially made wide chair with a bang and looked at Heavenly King Wu.

"Old Wu, your junior is impressive."

"That's… ʅ( ́◔౪◔)ʃ゚…"

Heavenly King Wu was shocked yesterday, but he was showing off today.

Heavenly King Bu snorted. "Go away, not you."

Heavenly King Wu was still showing off.

And Heavenly King Bu couldn't refute it.

Before long, the five Heavenly Kings, eight first-level instructors, and two vice-principals who were still in school had arrived.

Instructor Ma stood up and spoke.

Five minutes later.

"…That's what happened."

"Student Su Hao is already a member of the special training camp, but the assessment mission of the special training camp in the New World is temporarily not easy to arrange for him."

The Heavenly Kings and instructors were discussing fervently.

The assessment was easy, they just had to postpone it for the time being.

They could assign missions to Su Hao after completing the New World's training in the next semester.

But...

"What if a second Su Hao appears in the future?"

They couldn't disrupt the mission arrangements of the special training camp time and time again.

"I think we can bring forward the training time."

One of the instructors said, "The conditions now are even better. The students' abilities are also getting stronger each batch. We can totally arrange for the training to be held at the beginning of the freshmen's school term."

"During the collective training, there are instructors to look after them. Even if the freshmen aren't at the elite level, they won't be in much danger in the wild."

"Besides, the College Entrance Examination has already been reformed. All the new students have experience in surviving in the wild. Our university should also follow the policy closely and push forward the training time completely."

The school's higher-ups continued to discuss.

They felt that it was indeed possible.

After all, times had changed.

If not for Su Hao's appearance, they might not have realized this.

The managing vice president made the final decision. "Alright, I'll bring the news to the principal. If the principal has no objections, from the next batch onwards, the New World collective training will be arranged at the beginning of the first semester."

...

Su Hao still didn't know that he had single-handedly pushed for the reform of the school's teaching plan.

At this moment…

He was holding a special training camp introduction book in his hand.

"The Profound Meaning Stone Tablet of the special training camp and the usage of the Real Illusion doesn't require credits, but… there's a share."

"I'm currently ranked 97th, and my remuneration is between 51 to 100. I only have one chance to comprehend the stone tablet every month and ten hours of real illusion time."

All sprites could enter the real illusion together.

However, the opportunity to comprehend the stone tablet could only be used by one sprite.

"But it's said that the effect is very good. It can allow sprites' comprehension of profound meanings to improve by leaps and bounds."

"Unfortunately, there are too few opportunities!"

Both the stone tablet and the crystal tower were treasures unearthed from the New World.

They couldn't be man-made.

It was much more precious than things like gravity machines.

"Only by increasing my ranking can I have more time and opportunities."

"There are also some special rewards for those ranked at the front."

For example, students in the top 30 could get a pseudo monarch sprite in its initial form.

He could also use this opportunity to attain a rare sprite thanks to the school.

Another example was if he could maintain the top three positions for more than half a year.

He could ask two master Sprite Cultivators from the school to personally design an evolution plan for sprites.

"But…"

Su Hao suddenly realized that it didn't seem… attractive to him.

It wasn't smart!

"But the usage time of the facilities and various gift packages…"

Those were a little attractive to him.

Su Hao was greedy.

But deep down, he knew what to expect.

"With my current strength, I can't even rush out of the top 90, let alone the top 50."

The booklet also had a rough introduction of the strength of the special training camp students.

Here, because many people's sprites were stuck at the elite-level limit, and they divided the limit into upper, middle, and lower levels according to their battle power.

"The top 50 must have at least two upper limit sprites and a complete tactical system."

He opened the interface again and analyzed the battle power of the Su family's four sprites.

"The Flaming Spiritcrow is approximately mid-level. Of course… it hasn't developed to its limit yet."

"As for Reverie Butterfly, it can only be considered low-level."

Su Hao held his chin and analyzed.

Butterfly, who was on the sofa, heard the sound and looked over, her little face puffed up and her eyes widened.

And sent him a question mark.

The Dumb Unicorn also asked, "Neighhh ~?"

"You? You're unqualified."

"Neighhh o(╥_╥)o"

Dumb Unicorn knelt down.

...

On the third day after obtaining a spot in the special training camp.

Su Hao brought the four sprites and prepared to experience the legendary real illusion.

He arrived at the bottom of the crystal tower.

When he looked up, the whole tower was about eight to nine floors high. It was entirely made of crystal, and there were no signs of having been pieced together at all.

There were staff members in the crystal tower.

Su Hao showed the student card. "Hello, do you have a spot now? I want to experience the illusion for… half an hour."

"Please follow me."

The staff member said and led him to a room on the third floor.

Su Hao saw that the door and walls of the room were also made of crystal, but they were clearly different from the tower, as if they were man-made.

The staff member opened the door for him and instructed, "If you die in the illusion, you will automatically exit. You won't be able to enter again within 12 hours… but the unused duration won't be counted. Don't worry."

Su Hao nodded.

He brought his sprites into the room.

The walls, floors, and ceiling were all crystal, shining brightly.

Butterfly stared straight at it, almost unable to move its eyes away.

At this moment…

Suddenly, mist filled the room, becoming thicker and thicker, completely enveloping them.
