Start With Contracting Sprites

In a dark swamp.

A few sprites were surrounded in the middle. Looking at the large number of fierce-looking guys around them, they looked pitiful and helpless.

"Gurgle?"

The few sprites surrounded looked hesitant.

The Water Unicorn Beast immediately stepped down, blasting up patches of sludge. It cried out fiercely, "Neighhh!!!"

A minute later…

Reverie Butterfly left with the three sprites that were successfully convinced and recruited.

Well… There were also three others who they failed to convince. Or rather, the little rascal felt that they weren't sincere in crossing over to their side and knocked them down with a gaze.

It did not take long before a large group of sprites continued to move forward.

But it didn't create much of a commotion.

It was very smart.

With the rich experience he had learned from novels, cartoons, TV, movies, and games, it divided a group of new underlings into several groups, with three to four sprites in each group.

Then, it spread out in all directions and hid under numerous veils.

It used an illusion to hint to its underlings.

Of course, it wasn't safe enough.

It also implemented a system to punish any sprites from being friendly to other sprites, to prevent them from defecting.

With its overwhelming strength, as well as its ability to fool… Ah no, promise, promise that everyone can make contributions to succeed in defeating the sprites of the second-year students.

Just like that, gurgle ~!

All the sprites were in high spirits as they looked for their next target.

...

At one end of the battlefield, on the top floor of a huge white tower.

Four second-year students were leaning on the armrest, looking down at the battlefield.

"Sigh, the juniors of this batch aren't good. Back then…"

One of them, a boy in a red shirt, said vaguely.

Then he was interrupted. "Didn't your sprite leave in ten minutes back then?"

"An accident, that was an accident!"

They contacted their sprites from time to time and gazes swept the battlefield below, appearing very relaxed.

Back in the day, their seniors who were challenged by them were also this relaxed.

"Fortunately, we got this slot. Not only can we earn credits, we can also torture the juniors. Double the happiness!"

There were a total of eight seniors in the challenge segment.

Each person could take on two sprites and form a team.

It was known as guiding the freshmen and giving them pressure.

It was a very popular mission. Only the top 30 students in terms of credit rankings from the whole of first-year were eligible to take on the slot, but they still had to snatch for the slots, on a first come first serve basis.

This was the happiest opportunity in the whole university stage.

"Don't be reckless. If you're defeated by the new students, you'll be the one losing face… Didn't our batch defeat one of the senior's sprites?"

The boy with a full beard did not look like a college monk at all. He looked at one of the four people and asked, "Have you settled the problem on your side?"

"It's done."

The boy wearing earphones was the one whose sprite on the battlefield was the combination of the Three-Headed Hound and the Bursting Flame Bat.

Not long ago, they faced the siege of 26 sprites.

In the challenge segment, that was definitely a pretty strong force to oppose.

It was a little tricky.

However, the boy with the earpiece shook his head. "I thought it would be very difficult. After seducing them a few times, we messed up their formation. Then, we divided the battlefield and quickly got rid of a few of them. After that, they were completely messed up."

In a head-on battle, the combination of the Three-Headed Hound and the Bursting Flame Bat was no match.

But he used a few tactics and dealt with it easily.

The corners of the boy's mouth curled up slightly. He smiled and said, "Looks like this batch of freshmen really aren't…"

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

Then, it became ugly.

With his hand pressed against his ear, he focused and held his breath for a long while. Then, he suddenly said, "My sprite is surrounded! In the poisonous fog area, I'm asking for reinforcements! I'm asking for reinforcements!"

"Are you sure?"

The boy with the beard asked, "It's alright if we provide support, but your mission evaluation will decrease because of this, and the credits earned will also decrease by a lot."

"Big Brother, my sprite is in great danger."

"If it dies, I won't get a single point!

"Quick, quick, among the sprites surrounding the Bursting Flame Bat, there are three to four elite-level ones. If we can get rid of them in one go, who knows, the score might even increase!"

He spoke very quickly, not caring about losing face.

The other three looked at one another and nodded slowly.

...

A few minutes ago.

The scout of Tiny Butterfly's battle team discovered an extremely strong battle surge in the distance.

After the little rascal sent out a few flying sprites to investigate in detail, it finally discovered that one area of the battle consisted of two target sprites.

On the other side…

Well, it was getting cold.

It thought for a moment and immediately called out, "Gurgle…"

The sound spread.

The army set off.

The sprites even deliberately chose places with veils to advance, avoiding the enemy's detection.

At this moment, the herald Flaming Cloud Crow flew over. "Squawk, squawk!"

It said that Group 1 and Group 3 had exploded in battle.

It wasn't a second-year sprite, but a very strong Ice Six Tails.

Reverie Butterfly's eyes lit up. With a flap of its wings, it drifted forward like a green leaf, but its speed was very fast.

After passing through the grayish-blue fog, it saw the familiar Ice Six Tails.

Ice Six Tails also saw it.

It was surrounded by a group of sprites.

Among them was the Killer Mantis, which was the first to defect and was very appreciated by Reverie Butterfly. In the end, it became the team leader of its team.

A pair of dark green eyes stared at Ice Six Tails.

In addition, the other sprites bullied him with their great number, making Bing Six-Tail not dare to move rashly.

It could express its rage.

"Woo-hoo!"

Reverie Butterfly shook its little hand.

One-on-one?

Why did they have to fight one-on-one?

Did you see how I gained so many underlings?

"Gurgle~"

It said.

The antennae on its head shook.

Killer Mantis turned into an afterimage and flashed.

Flaming Cloud Crow also rushed forward.

...

At this moment…

The boy in white on the platform was stretching his neck, but due to the distance, and poisonous mist drifting in the sky above that area, so it was difficult to see clearly.

They could only transmit information intermittently through contracts.

"Ice Six Tails is already approaching that battlefield area."

"Seize the opportunity and use the strongest killer move during the battle."

"Did you meet other people's sprites?"

"Wait, what happened? Ice Six Tails? Ice Six Tails!!"

In just a few seconds, the expression of the boy in white changed from calmness to nervousness, then to panic, and finally, he let out a shout of disbelief.

He didn't understand what had happened at all!

It was just that at the last moment, he seemed to have heard Ice Six Tails' indignant and angry shout.

"Reverie Butterfly?"

He looked at Su Hao.

But Su Hao wasn't looking at him.

Before long, the injured Ice Six Tails, Iron-Tailed Prawn, and the Giant Tide Frog appeared on the platform and were taken away by the medical staff.

The boy in white looked dejected.

...

Physical persuasion lasted until the enemy fainted, and then Butterfly Battle Team continued to advance.

It took the opportunity to take in a few fleeing sprites, and then blocked the Three-Headed Hound and Bursting Flame Bat who had just won a great victory.

Their conditions were ordinary.

The battle team came forward aggressively.

With Reverie Butterfly as the lead, and a few sprites assisted by Flaming Cloud Crow and Killer Mantis, they chased after them and attacked continuously.

The other sprites surrounded and intercepted.

The powerful suppression made it impossible for the Three-Headed Hound and the Bursting Flame Bat to use any tactics.

Before long, they were covered in wounds.

Finally…

"Howl!!"

A look of joy appeared on the Three-Headed Hound's face.

It finally saw reinforcements, a Mountain Moving Ape and a Vine Demon.

Other reinforcements were on the way.

They felt that there was no need to escape anymore.

They could counterattack!

At this moment.

Reverie Butterfly also stopped.

Its big eyes watched them quietly.

"Gurgle ~ ~"

It called.

The sound spread, as if it was a signal. Surrounding sprites appeared from all directions.

Countless eyes gathered on the Three-Headed Hound and the other four sprites.

Cold sweat immediately flowed down.
