Start With Contracting Sprites

The Stronghold Valley was filled with malicious characters.

The ground had turned into a lake. Countless cracks crisscrossed, and holes filled the ground.

One could only vaguely see some damaged buildings from the valley's broken and collapsed mountain wall.

A few Sprite Trainers of the Union rode sprites and flew in the sky, searching inch by inch with the valley as the core.

There were also some Sprite Trainers digging bit by bit in the valley.

They searched for valuable information, items, and some secret rooms.

At this moment…

At the end of the sky, a colorful cloud flew over. In just an instant, it flew to the sky above the valley and slowly landed.

The two Union Sprite Trainers who were patrolling were shocked.

When they saw the person on the cloud, their faces were filled with admiration again.

Hu ~

The cloud landed and gradually dissipated.

Su Hao's feet stepped on the ground. It was a little muddy, so he snapped his fingers.

Beside him, the Dumb Unicorn let out a "Neighhh". Cold air came out of its nostrils and spread. In just a moment, a thick layer of ice formed on the muddy ground. On the ice, there were even some fine granules and bumps… This was to increase the friction of the slippery ice.

Seeing this, Su Hao was very satisfied.

It was not in vain that he carefully taught the Dumb Unicorn. Finally, it could accurately comprehend its meaning.

But the training had been quite costly.

After the ice floor was laid, he looked at Ah Yan.

Ah Yan was flying a little higher, and with a fierce swing of its black robe, it spread continuously like a black screen, covering an area of more than 100 square meters.

It covered, shook, and withdrew.

In the blink of an eye, a few figures appeared on the empty ground.

And a dozen sprites.

They were the instructors of Rain Forest University who were at the forefront.

They weren't weak, but at this moment, their foreheads were covered in cold sweat. As soon as they appeared, they looked around nervously. The energy in the sprites' bodies also started to surge.

"Little… Uh?"

The leading instructor was suddenly stunned.

When he saw Su Hao at the side, he asked, "Did we escape?"

In his opinion, there were only two outcomes.

Either they were caught and killed.

Or the other possibility was that they had successfully escaped.

At this moment, the leading instructor of Rain Forest University didn't sense the terrifying aura of the monarch-level sprites. Thus, he could tell that they had successfully survived.

To be able to escape from a monarch sprite, impressive, impressive!

He sighed.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.

This place…

"Here?"

"Yes, this is the valley of the Dark Society's stronghold. I'll have to trouble the few of you to continue searching for the hiding Dark Society members…"

"Wait, wait…"

The instructor of Rain Forest University was a little stunned.

This was the Dark Society's base.

There were no monarch sprites here.

Could it be that…

It was the alliance's experts who came to help and chased away the Dark Society Heavenly King?

Yes, that must be it!

He looked over.

The young inspector nodded. "That's right. I've already captured the Heavenly King of the Dark Society. He was imprisoned right next to the place where you were just staying."

"Oh, he's been captured… wait!!!"

In just an instant, the instructor of Rain Forest University went from nodding to being stunned, and then to his pupils constricting and his mouth agape. The expression on his face kept changing.

When they walked towards the valley, they were still dizzy and mumbling something…

"Oh, it's over…"

"Oh, it's already over."

They were mumbling such strange words.

Su Hao couldn't help but be a little worried. Could it be that they had become mentally unstable after being affected by the monarch's pressure?

The instructor of Rain Forest University seemed a little weak.

He shook his head and felt the burden on his body become heavier.

…

Somewhere in the continuous mountain range.

A team of 20 people from the Union and 20 Sprite Trainers were riding their respective sprites as they quickly moved through the forest.

This team was formed by two master-level and 18 elite-level.

It was a relatively strong peripheral team of the Union's main force. Their mobility was very strong, and they had already circled to the back of the right, preparing to intercept the escaping Dark Society members from this direction.

That was the plan.

But…

They recalled that not long ago…

The doomsday scene of lightning and thunder.

A huge earthen yellow ball of light.

A huge explosion shook the whole mountain range.

These terrifying scenes that they saw from afar still lingered in their minds.

The captain, a middle-aged instructor from Rain Forest University, was a little uneasy.

But there was no signal in the forest.

With just the wireless transmission of the wristband, he couldn't contact anyone else in the valley at this point.

He could only continue to rush forward.

The leader looked to his side, lowered his voice and said to a young instructor, "Later, if you encounter any invincible enemies, bring the group and run. Run without hesitation!"

The young instructor opened his mouth.

The leader stretched out his hand to stop the young instructor from arguing back. "You're still young and have a future. I should be the one that…"

As their distance from the valley gradually approached.

An oppressive aura enveloped the team.

Boom!

Hearing the explosion in the distance, many Sprite Trainers in the intercepting team were shocked. Even the two leaders looked towards the source of the sound with solemn expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.

At this moment…

A young man with a miserable and gloomy expression was carried by a Mountain Moving Ape and leaped out of the forest.

"He's from the Dark Society. Stop him!"

Hearing the sound, the instructor of Rain Forest University instinctively attacked.

A sprout broke out of the ground and turned into a huge vine in the blink of an eye. It wrapped around the Mountain Moving Ape that had leaped into mid-air and pinned the ape that was already injured.

With a slight move, it captured the extraordinary-level Mountain Moving Ape and its Sprite Trainer.

It was so simple that even the team in charge of intercepting was stunned.

In the forest, a bald Sprite Trainer emerged.

He cupped his fists and thanked them. "Fortunately, a few of you acted in time. Otherwise, it's very likely that he would have escaped. That inspector has instructed us to capture every single one of them…"

Wait!

What did he mean by capturing everyone?

Were we winning by such a large margin?

When they heard what the bald Sprite Trainer said, they didn't quite react. After a long while, they finally understood that the battle had already ended. Most of the officers and leaders of the Dark Society had also been captured.

Only a few masters were still fleeing.

The outcome was set!

"In other words, the battle is basically over now, with only some scraps left to clean?"

The bald Sprite Trainer nodded and rode his sprite again to search for members of the Dark Society.

In his words, these escaping members of the Dark Society were all worth merit points.

The opportunity must not be wasted.

The instructors and students from Rain Forest University regained their senses.

So…

Why were they acting so dramatically just now?

…

The next day…

Inside the arrest department area headquarters building of the City of Glow…

Knock, knock, knock…

"Come in."

The Black and White Heavenly King pushed the door open and entered. He arrived at the office with the deputy minister's name tag.

The whole room was very spacious, but the arrangement inside the room was very simple.

Behind the table in the center, a middle-aged man who was handling official business looked up. His shoulders were broad, and his expression was solemn. He gave off a dignified feeling without looking angry.

When he saw who it was, the deputy head asked, "How's the situation?"

"All the important figures of the Dark Society in the stronghold have been captured. Moreover, a Heavenly King-level officer from the Dark Society has also been captured… According to the face comparison, he's a Sprite Trainer who has registered in the Union. However, his registration in the Union is only an ordinary master-level. Currently, he's being interrogated."

The deputy minister looked surprised and approving. "Not bad, not bad. How did you deal with that Heavenly King?"

"This…"

The Black and White Heavenly King was embarrassed. He paused before saying, "I'm not the one who captured the Heavenly King of the Dark Society."

He was worried that the deputy minister would think badly again, so he hurriedly added, "I haven't shown my face all this time, nor have I made a move. He was captured by Su Hao, who was undergoing the assessment of an intern inspector. He defeated the monarch sprite and captured the Dark Society Heavenly King alive. That's about it."

The deputy minister: "???"

Are you kidding me?

…

Somewhere in the City of Glow…

At a special fire-element cultivation venue…

Boom!

A sealed door slowly opened. Glazed flames burned fiercely, and a monstrous pressure spread out, stirring the wind and clouds.

In the sea of fire, a handsome young man walked out step by step.

The mark representing the Fire Laws on his forehead flickered slightly.

Behind him, the intimidating Fire God Soldier with horns on its head appeared.

"Heavenly King, I've finally reached the Heavenly King level!"

At this moment, Sun Son was very excited.

He picked up the wristband stored outside the door and began to read the news of this period of time. When his gaze landed on a certain line, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Dragon Nation's Su Hao has already defeated a Heavenly King?!"
