Chapter 277: The Strategist Su Xiao Hao

Lan Qing was wearing a white top and blue suspenders. Her dressing was as simple as ever, but it still couldn’t conceal her unique temperament.

She suddenly got up and jumped down from the big white dog. Her long black hair that wasn’t tied up immediately fluttered outwards, and her thin body also drifted down like a breeze… It really seemed like she was floating down!

She floated a few meters away and landed in front of Su Hao. A few strands of hair hung in front of her forehead under the sea breeze and one couldn’t help but want to push it away for her…

“Thank you,” Lan Qing said softly, her voice like an empty valley orchid reaching his ears through the wind.

Her slender fingers pushed aside the hair in front of her forehead, and she turned to walk towards the battlefield.

Beside him, Jiang Xiuqi’s eyes widened. He looked back and forth, revealing an indescribably wretched smile. “What did you do? What did you do?”

“I didn’t really do much… Ah, no, no, pay attention to the battle!”

There was no cumbersome segment. After the two sprites stood still and both parties were ready, Lan Qing didn’t say anything… The big white dog flew over.

Instantly, Lan Qing’s hair flew up again, and the surrounding wind became noisy.

In Su Hao’s eyes, under the status bar of the ordinary big white dog, there was an additional “Wind Domain Supplement” message.

It flashed.

Bang~!

A storm swept over. The big white dog flashed left and right, shooting out its wind-element unique skill from its mouth. Everywhere it passed, the beach field was blasted with smooth, bottomless holes.

“With speed advantage, flying advantage, long-range attack…”

Lan Qing’s Storm God Hound was good at close combat, but it was also the type that could also do well from afar.

In comparison, the Metal Tyrannosaurus opposite him…

“It’s good at close combat and is an explosive sprite. There are only two long-range attacks that are threatening. Golden Light Blast and Metal Storm are both high-level unique skills with high level proficiency. Other small moves like Golden Light Slash on the other hand, didn’t pose much of a threat.”

The Divine Storm Hound had passed on the information to Lan Qing’s mind.

She listened to the sound of the wind and looked calmly at the field. She saw that the Metal Tyrannosaurus had used Golden Light Slash several times to no avail. Then, after it was annoyed by the Storm God Hound, it decisively opened its mouth, revealing metal blades-like teeth.

Extreme golden light gathered deep in its throat. In the next moment, a golden beam of light pierced through layers of air as well as the afterimage of the Storm God Hound… It shot into the sky from afar, leaving behind a dazzling golden light. It took a long time before it gradually dissipated.

“To use Afterimage Seduction, I have to maintain my position and risk getting hit in order to get the Metal Tyrannosaurus to continuously use ‘Golden Light Blast’, consuming its spiritual force.”

“At the same time, I’ll continue attacking to keep the pressure on the other party and keep it from thinking. In this way, I’ll probably be able to get it to waste about three to eight more Golden Light Blast.”

“The multiple Golden Light Explosions were fruitless. The Metal Tyrannosaurus could switch to Metal Storm, which had a wider range but a much larger consumption.”

As expected, a golden tornado enveloped the whole arena and spread to its surroundings, forcing the audience to retreat dozens of meters away.

Amidst the storm, there was the sound of sharp blades tearing through the air. In an instant, the whole beach was filled with dense holes.

The Storm God Hound, which was hiding on the side of the arena, scratched the ground with its sharp claws. Visible airflows bulged on its fluffy hair, forming a protective shield to resist the golden blades flying over from all directions.

“The Metal Tyrannosaurus’ control over the Metal Storm is limited. During the casting process, it can’t make many adjustments. If it continues to stay on the ground, it’ll receive less damage than staying in the air…”

“You’re right.”

Lan Qing, who looked calm on the surface, also felt waves in her heart.

At this moment, after the metal storm passed, the big white dog’s beautiful hair had already become very messy, and there were many scratches on its body.

“Injury is very necessary. If the Metal Tyrannosaurus’ attack doesn’t work, the opponent is very likely to change tactics and use a defensive counterattack. The battle time will be extended indefinitely, and there will be many uncertainties.”

The big white dog recalled those words. After blasting out a few “seemingly powerful” vacuum breaks, it widened its eyes and stuck out its tongue.

“Ha ~ ha ~!”

This dog is so tired, woof!

This dog is also injured, woof!

It’s true, woof!

The big white dog continuously circled around the Metal Tyrannosaurus on the opposite side. The injuries caused its speed to gradually slow down, and the power of the unique skill it spat out also weakened a little.

The dog started to look like it couldn’t take it anymore.

In the end, when the Metal Tyrannosaurus was rendered defenseless and unable to dodge due to excessive consumption, it was crippled by vacuum break after vacuum break. Its bell-sized eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Why haven’t you fallen yet?

Storm God Hound: “Woof woof ~!” Because this dog used tactics!

Tactics are so fun, woof ~!

…

The battle ended without much commotion.

The difference between the two sprites wasn’t too big, so it was reasonable for the Dragon Nation Sprite Trainer to win by a narrow margin. Only the Sprite Trainer from Japanese Nation complained a little.

“We were so close to winning!?”

Of course, he was speaking in the Japanese language. Without any translation, Su Hao didn’t understand either. His understanding of the Japanese language was limited to a few words that were helpful for learning.

The agreed battle had a total of 24 rounds. After Lan Qing, Dragon Nation lost four rounds in a row.

In fact, at this point, Dragon Nation had already won quite a lot of battles, but every additional victory would allow them to fight for a few more slots… Who would complain about having more slots?

In those four rounds, Su Hao also used Butterfly’s “Sound Transmission”, no, “Shadow Transmission” to pass on analysis and tactics to their nation’s sprites.

It was more convenient and detailed than him using his mouth to convey the information.

Unfortunately… not everyone believed him, and not every sprite had the ability to carry out his tactics.

In contrast, the big white dog did a very good job.

“Dragon Nation will be the first to attack the next round.”

The master-level Sprite Trainers from Dragon Nation who had yet to go on stage looked at each other.

Mentor Ma looked over.

“Alright, I’ll go.”

At this time, among the Sprite Trainers who came from Whale Island University, the ones who had already battled were Mentor Ma, a senior who had graduated for many years, Jiang Xiuqi, and Wang Qi.

Wang Qi had participated in the previous round. The degree of execution of Red Flame Qiong Qi’s tactics could score 70 points, but he was still defeated because the opponent was too strong.

At this point, only Senior Qin Ya and two seniors who had graduated for many years had yet to battle. However, their aces weren’t strong, so their chances of winning were at most 20%… which is already being generous.

Su Hao had no choice but to step forward and return the world to its glory… Cough!

Under the gazes of everyone, he walked onto the field and started thinking…

“How can I win without exposing too much information?”

He… passed the question to Butterfly to think about.

“Gurgle ~?” Butterfly sighed, but there was also a sense of vicissitude in its helplessness. “I knew it would be like this.”

It flapped its three pairs of emerald green butterfly wings and flew onto the field without returning to its original form.

“What kind of sprite is that?”

“I don’t know? It might be some form of transformed state?”

“It doesn’t look strong… Leave this to me.”

“I can do it, I can definitely do it!”

A certain nation’s Sprite Trainer was making a lot of noise.

Many of the Dragon Nation’s Sprite Trainers looked worried, only a small number… like Lan Qing, who was sitting on the big white dog and looking ahead quietly, was thinking:

“I wonder what tactics he will use?”

…

The sprite that approached Su Hao was a silly bear… Oh, he meant Tyrant Bear.

It directly raised a sandstorm, countless gravel turned into spikes, stabbing towards the weak, pitiful but cute Butterfly.

Cute is justice!

When many foreign Sprite Trainers saw this, their hearts were also lifted. Many beautiful young ladies couldn’t help but close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they discovered that… the butterfly had disappeared.

“Where did it go?”

“Come out!”

“Come out if you have the guts!”

The Sprite Trainer of the naive bear roared.

But apart from the sandstorm, there was no movement in front of him at all.

He could only cast his gaze towards the Union’s Heavenly King Sprite Trainer who was hosting the battle and thus remained neutral.

Another Heavenly King Sprite Trainer crossed his arms and said, “It’s still in the arena.”

The translator from Peacock Nation translated what the Heavenly King Sprite Trainer said.

The brawny man could only look fiercely at Su Hao, attempting to pressure him with his gaze.

But time ticked away. Even when the sandstorm dissipated, that small figure didn’t appear.

Until a Heavenly King Sprite Trainer said, “Don’t maliciously stall for time, or else there will be a yellow card warning.”

A Dragon Nation translator translated.

“Alright.”

Su Hao had no choice but to listen to him and reveal Butterfly. After all, he was a Heavenly King Sprite Trainer.

In fact, it had been there the whole time. It had only used its Psychic Shield to resist the sandstorm, and then used an illusion to conceal all traces of illogical behavior.

Once Butterfly appeared, Tyrant Bear roared.

Gravity enveloped it. Countless gravel turned into a large hand and closed from both sides.

Butterfly didn’t disappear again, nor did it dodge.

It was just that Su Hao raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Tap!

In everyone’s eyes, the two big gravel hands that were closing together suddenly dissipated. Tyrant Bear’s huge body also shook violently…

It fell heavily to the ground.
