Chapter 323: Geniuses of Each Nation, White Jade Stone Tablet!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

From more than 200 countries, hundreds of the most outstanding young people under the age of 30 gathered here for the same purpose…

“According to the energy accumulation of the Inheritance Temple at this time, there are a total of seven spots for inheritance in this year’s Supernova Cup.”

The person who spoke was dressed in a military green chic suit. His body was as strong as an iron tower, and his white hair didn’t make him look old. Instead, it brought with it a strange pressure.

As the person approached and swept his gaze across, everyone felt as if they were stared down by a white bear as tall as a mountain.

In particular, the language the muscular old man spoke was neither the language of the Dragon Nation, Golden Eagle Federation, nor the language of the White Bear Nation. However, everyone present, regardless of whether they were from large countries or small countries, regardless of whether they were proficient in multinational languages or language idiots, understood very clearly what the old man was saying.

It was a special language.

Lingua franca!

Without a doubt, the muscular man who suddenly arrived was a powerful big boss.

Many Heavenly Kings who led teams greeted the old man and expressed their respect.

“This is Duke Andre of the White Bear Nation, an expert known as the God of War. However, the last time Duke Andre made a move was already ten years ago. He is also the guardian of the City of Glow and the Inheritance Temple. He’s a grand elder of the Union.”

Heavenly King Lie Kong revealed some secrets. “Of course, our Dragon Nation also has Union grand elders guarding the Inheritance Temple. It’s just that that person likes to be quiet and doesn’t usually show his face. If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce him to you guys.”

But at this moment, the focus of many young Sprite Trainers wasn’t on the strong and muscular Duke Andre, but… on the fact that there were actually only seven spots for the inheritance!!!

There were only seven spots for hundreds of geniuses to fight for!

In the previous years, there were at least five to six inheritance slots, but there were usually more than a dozen.

Whether it was those who understood the inheritance or were ignorant, their expressions became much more solemn when they heard it.

The competition for the next few days would be very intense.

…

Duke Andre was the giant who was in charge of the inheritance battle this time. He brought them to an empty square.

The ground of the whole square seemed to be paved with jade. It was empty. There was neither a fountain nor seats, but the area was large enough to accommodate hundreds of young geniuses and thousands of sprites. It had more than enough space and was not at all crowded.

In the center of the square, there was a huge white jade stone tablet.

It was about four to five stories tall. What was worth mentioning was that the shape of the whole stone tablet was similar to a pagoda. There were many levels.

Su Hao counted. There were a total of twelve levels.

But…

“So, what are we doing here? Where are the rules of the inheritance battle?”

He didn’t know.

Most people didn’t know.

Asking the Heavenly King Lie Kong only resulted in an answer like “you’ll know when the time comes”…

“But why do I feel that many Sprite Trainers of small countries know the rules of the inheritance battle?”

“That’s not important. Your own abilities are the key,” Heavenly King Lie Kong said. “You are the most outstanding batch of young people in our Dragon Nation, but your goal should not only be the inheritance in front of you. You still have an unlimited future. You should learn to develop fully.”

In other words… there was no need to know the answers to such questions. There was no need for that. Only small country teams who lacked confidence in themselves needed to have such questions answered.

At this moment…

In front, Duke Andre’s voice was heard. It was still the same language that couldn’t be explained clearly, but one could understand it immediately.

“The battle for the inheritance tests not only your strength, but also your comprehensive qualities. It tests whether you are qualified to receive the inheritance.”

Duke Andre said, “There are several types of tests. Do you see the white jade stone tablet in front? This stone tablet can stimulate your soul potential. It’s also the first round of your assessment to test whether your soul power is strong.”

Soul power inspection?

Su Hao had only gone through such an inspection once… He did it in the hospital before starting his third year of high school.

After that, there was no need for any more proof. He also had the interface to accurately display his soul power value… There was no need to test at all.

Right now…

The inheritance battle was such a prestigious assessment, but it actually relied on a mere soul power test?

Duke Andre said, “When you touch the stone tablet, the number of layers of light on the stone tablet represents the strength of your soul power. The entire stone tablet is level-12. If there’s a level-7 light, it means that you have more to learn and can use ‘Seven-Core Sprite Commandeering’. Similarly, when the level-12 stone tablet lights up, you will also be qualified to use ‘Twelve-Core Sprite Commandeering’.”

“Not only that, when touching the stone tablet, it can stimulate your potential. This is an improvement without side effects. It’s both a test for you and a good opportunity for you.”

“Now, in the order of drawing lots, Sprite Trainers from each country will go on stage in sequence.”

Duke Andre continued to explain some more things.

The leaders of the various countries added accordingly.

Su Hao knew the purpose of the soul power assessment from listening to Heavenly King Lie Kong.

… In the Inheritance Temple, there were inheritances regarding “Sprite Commandeering”. The conditions for each type of “Sprite Commandeering” was weird and strange. But within all that strangeness, the only thing that remained consistent was soul power.

It was also the foundation.

If you don’t have enough foundation, don’t even think about getting the inheritance!

At this moment…

Under the arrangement of the staff, the first person, a Sprite Trainer from a small country with no name, walked nervously to the huge stone tablet.

“Stretch out your hand and press it on the stone tablet. Any place will do.”

The ordinary staff member who was proficient in countless languages smiled and said.

The Sprite Trainer reached out and pressed down.

Instantly…

As if an invisible force had revived, the huge white jade stone tablet, level by level, lit up with white light. It lit up extremely fast, directly reaching level seven.

The first six levels of white light were sparkling white and very bright, but the seventh level, which could be seen with the naked eye, was a little dimmer.

Clearly, the seventh level wasn’t full.

But the examination wasn’t over. The certain young man’s palm was still pressed on the stone tablet. His whole body was motionless. The white light emitted by the seventh level actually gradually became brighter.

“This is the effect of the White Jade Stone Tablet. It can develop your soul potential, and what you can improve on are all blank souls. In other words, after your examination, you can directly contract extraordinary-level sprites… But of course, you need to first find extraordinary-level sprites that are willing to let you contract them.”

“Even if you don’t contract it, the increase in the strength of your soul can also make your connection with your sprites even closer. The power of the ‘Sprite Commandeering’ you use will also become stronger…”

There were many benefits.

About ten seconds later, the light that blossomed from the white jade stone tablet stabilized and started to dim.

“Upper level seven.” The staff member waved his hand. “Go down, next person.”

One, two…

Most of the young Sprite Trainers who completed the test made the stone tablet light up seven levels.

It meant they could cast seven marks of Sprite Commandeering.

It was also something that most master-level Sprite Trainers could do.

At this moment…

“Upper level six, disqualified.”

A different rating appeared.

Even though the young man standing next to the stone tablet had gone through potential development, his soul power still couldn’t reach level seven.

Not every master-level had level seven soul power.

The one in front of them had another name: trash.

The minimum requirement to participate in the inheritance had not been met. This meant that even if one was outstanding in other aspects, they would not be able to inherit.

Those who were eliminated directly no longer needed to participate in the subsequent assessments.

“His sprite is just a Mountain Moving Ape that has just entered the extraordinary stage. It wasn’t cultivated very well either. He probably struggled during the provincial competition.”

Su Hao guessed that it was probably a Sprite Trainer from a small country to make up the numbers.

The real competitors for the inheritance battle were still from the various large countries.

Time passed second by second.

Every Sprite Trainer took a minute or two. At first, it was still a little interesting, and Su Hao also stared at the stone tablet.

However, as time passed, he saw that all of them were “lower level seven”, “intermediate level seven”, and “upper level seven”. They were ordinary and nothing special. Thus, it became boring to watch.

Rather than staring at the stone tablet, it was better to observe the sprites of others.

On the surface, Su Hao was also looking at the stone tablet. But in reality, what he was looking at was his own interface.

Suddenly…

“The eighth level of the stone tablet has lit up!”

He heard Xia beside him and couldn’t help but look over. A yellow-haired young man reached out and pressed on the stone tablet. The brightness of the first seven levels had reached its limit, and the eighth level was slowly emitting a faint light.

Although it was very weak, it was indeed level-eight.

“Lower level eight,” the staff member said.

The yellow-haired young man raised his chin slightly and swept his gaze across the others before walking back to his country’s team with some complacency.

“Fortunately, I started making preparations a few years ago. I contracted 20 common sprites that are easy to cultivate, and hired some Sprite Cultivators to help me nurture those sprites to the limit of elite-level. The soul power that I received back finally allowed me to reach level eight!”

“Level eight, hahahaha! My score in the first assessment is definitely very high. Even if I’m inferior to top geniuses later on, I still have a chance to fight for the inheritance slot, hahaha…”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was still caught by Butterfly. It then directly cast an illusion into Su Hao’s mind.

Not only were the words translated, there were also visuals… In the future, Su Hao no longer needed to worry about not understanding the language when watching dramas.

The yellow-haired young man was the first Sprite Trainer to measure level eight, but soon…

Level eight trainers appeared one after another.

Golden Flame’s expression seemed a little complicated and depressed. When it was his turn, the stone tablet also lit up eight levels. The brightness of the eighth level was even slightly higher than the yellow-haired young man.

“It’s the Golden Eagle Federation’s turn!” Bai Xiaoming said.

The others immediately perked up and looked towards the Golden Eagle Federation.

The person who walked out first had an imposing appearance and an indescribable aura, like… a sun.

It was especially dazzling.

“It’s the Sun Son of the Golden Eagle Federation!” Bai Xiaoming, the intelligence expert, said. “I heard that there’s a very scary young man in the Golden Eagle Federation who is known as the Sun Son. It should be him.”

As he spoke, the young man had already arrived in front of the stone tablet. With confidence, he pressed his palm down.

In an instant…

Deng deng deng deng… Layer after layer of brilliant light lit up. In the blink of an eye, they reached the eighth level, but the light was still dazzling.

In the white light, even more orange-red light appeared and kept rising, like a blazing sun rising, gradually blooming with dazzling light.

“It’s a soul phenomenon! Rumor has it that some people’s souls have unique qualities. They might be born with it, or they might have cultivated it after birth… Such a soul has a unique quality that can attract some sprites to form a contract. It also has all kinds of unbelievable effects. No wonder he’s known as the Sun Son!”

A Sprite Trainer in the Dragon Nation team said.

At this moment, the young man from the Golden Eagle Federation who was standing at the stone tablet seemed to have become one with the light of the stone tablet. It was as if he had turned into the sun, broke through the layers of mist, and hung high in the sky.

After a few minutes, the soul phenomenon gradually dissipated. The staff member was surprised for a long time before announcing, “Upper level-eight, sun abnormal phenomenon!”

The sun-like young man stepped down confidently.

The Sprite Trainers of the Golden Eagle Federation went on stage one by one. The brilliance they displayed wasn’t as terrifying as the Sun’s Child, but it was still much stronger than the teams from the other countries.

“There are seven trainers whose soul power has reached the eighth level. Apart from the Sun Son, there’s another person who possesses a soul abnormal phenomenon, but the phenomenon isn’t that strong.”

But they were still like mountains pressing down on the hearts of Sprite Trainers of small countries.

The young man with yellow hair who was very confident in himself at the start had his eyes and mouth wide open at this moment.

After more than an hour, it was the turn of the White Bear Nation. Sprite Trainers as strong as bears walked to the side of the stone tablet and pressed their palms down.

With the Golden Eagle Federation having gone before them, although the Sprite Trainers of the White Bear Nation were also outstanding, there were much fewer people who exclaimed.

Until…

On the stone tablet, the white light had an additional ice-blue color, as if cold air was spreading and cold wind was blowing, making everyone feel like they were in winter.

The White Bear Nation woman standing under the stone tablet had her short brown hair flying in the wind, emitting a bone-chilling aura.

The soul phenomenon was very strong.

It wasn’t inferior to the Sun Son.

“She should be the new leader of the White Bear Nation, known as the Winter Aria Singer!”

From Bai Xiaoming, Su Hao got information about his competitor again.

Not bad.

The people surnamed Bai were indeed good people.

Finally…

In the afternoon, it was Dragon Nation’s turn to touch the stone tablet.

It was all because of Heavenly King Lie Kong’s unlucky draw that everyone waited so long.

Not only were Su Hao and the others waiting, but people from other countries were also waiting.

Both Golden Eagle Federation and White Bear Nation had geniuses with extraordinary phenomenons. What about Dragon Nation?

For handsome people, they had to go on stage later. Su Hao let the others go up first.

Gu Feiyang’s instructor, Xia, Lin, Bai Xiaoming, and a group of nameless extras completed the test one after another.

They were all around the upper, lower, and intermediate level eight.

“Next!” the staff member said.

The Sword God stepped forward and stood upright like a sword. He pressed his palm on the stone tablet, and in an instant, the light quickly reached level eight, and it was very bright.

Amidst the light, there were also traces of golden light, carrying an incomparably sharp aura.

“It’s Sword Intent!”

“Sword intent engraved in the soul! He’s a very promising young man.”

The abnormal phenomenon of Sword God wasn’t very strong, but it was cultivated after being born. Thus, the big bosses weren’t stingy with their praise.

“So sword intent can also become an abnormal phenomenon ?” Su Hao was a little surprised, but after thinking carefully, he said, “That’s right, Sword God is strong because he himself is strong, not his sprite.”

As for myself…?

Su Hao considered that he shouldn’t have any abnormal phenomenon, and decided to leave the opportunity for the finale to Lan Qing.

But before he could say anything, Lan Qing had already walked up to the stone tablet without a word.

Reaching out…

Whoosh~!

Whoosh~!

The light from the stone tablet was bright. There was clearly no wind, but everyone seemed to hear a howling wind. It was as if they were in a storm valley, at the peak of the mountain, among the clouds…

Endless wind turned into a long river that swam in the sky.

“Upper eighth-level, Wind Phenomenon!”

She wasn’t inferior to the most outstanding geniuses of the Golden Eagle Federation and White Bear Nation.

The three great Sprite Commandeering powers of the Planet Aquamarine lived up to their name.

Many Sprite Trainers thought.

At this moment, there was only one person left in Dragon Nation.

Watching Lan Qing walk back, Su Hao had no choice but to walk past her.
