"So other people's training insights can be exchanged for intelligence points? Then that money wasn't wasted."
"And the Dream Moth's excellent talent..."
Previously, ultimate moves had no discounts.
He wasn't sure if it was because they were too cheap... the slightly more expensive Energy Orb was unlocked before the panel upgrade.
"First, learn Nightmare Eye."
This ultimate move was incredibly OP. With just a glance, it could pull an opponent of similar mental strength into an illusion.
Combined with the Dream Weaving move,
Whether using the illusion to harm or trap, a single Energy Orb in reality could make the opponent GG.
A true killer gaze.
But... it was also very hard to learn.
"According to the seller's info, even with that training insight, the spirit might not necessarily learn it."
Learning high-level ultimate moves all came down to talent.
Of course,
What Su Hao gave the Dream Moth was the optimized plan after the panel unlocked.
Safe, reliable, no side effects.
But the learning time... wouldn't be short.
Luckily, the Dream Moth had already grasped the harder 'Dream Weaving' on its own.
"Start with 'Stare'."
Besides scheduling the training for Nightmare Eye, Su Hao also prepared a study material for the Dream Moth.
"Game Design: From Beginner to Professional."
Letting the Dream Moth learn how to construct illusions and maximize their use to harm enemies.
After thinking, he also downloaded a terabyte of horror movies.
Patting the Dream Moth's head, he said, "With so many movies to watch from now on, aren't you thrilled?"
Dream Moth: "???"
...
"The next stop is Rainbow Station. Passengers getting off, please take your luggage and belongings..."
Su Hao pulled his suitcase, with a Dream Moth perched on his head and a Little Fire Crow on his shoulder, drawing stares from passersby as he left the station.
Magic City...
Su Hao was here for the first time, different from An City or Yun Hua.
Even at the station, he saw quite a few Spirit Masters with their spirits.
He used his phone to call a Didi, heading to the Spirit Master Hub in Magic City.
The driver, with a shiny bald head, was very talkative. Upon learning Su Hao was going to the Spirit Master Hub, he shared a lot about the place.
Simply put, it was a hub integrating trading, communication, battles, information, and more.
Many Spirit Masters coming to Magic City from elsewhere chose it as their first stop.
The driver assumed Su Hao was the same.
"Back in the day, if I hadn't taken an arrow to the knee... ahem, if spirits hadn't been too expensive to buy, I might be an elite Spirit Master by now.
"But no matter, I've saved up a lot over the years. I couldn't become a Spirit Master, but my daughter can. When she turns sixteen, I'll buy her a spirit contract.
"Kid, take a look at my daughter's photo. Cute, right? Want to add her on WeChat? You young folks must have a lot to talk about..."
Su Hao felt the driver's gaze was a bit off.
He had contracted two spirits, clearly showing undeniable excellence, but...
Su Hao still hurriedly got out of the car and left.
In his mind, he couldn't help recalling the photo the driver showed him.
Hmm...
Pretty cute, actually.
...
The Spirit Master Hub was bustling.
Compared to Magic City's concrete jungle, it felt like a different world.
Spirits were everywhere.
Some were selling things, some were performing with spirits, others were battling...
Hmm,
When Su Hao arrived, there happened to be an event.
Seemed like a competition sponsored by some company, with prizes provided.
Two spirits were fighting on the stage, surrounded by a large crowd of spectators.
Cheers came in waves.
"Go in, go in!"
"Water Arrow! Ugh, that move should've been a Water Arrow!"
"That Rock Throw was beautiful; looks like the winner's decided!"
It was lively, but Su Hao glanced over—they were all uninitiated spirits.
Little Fire Crow could easily take them down.
He was already past that.
Su Hao walked further in.
On the surface, it was just the Spirit Master Hub of Magic City, but it was also one of the entrances to the New World in Dragon Country.
Across from it was a large city called Storm City—named for its region, where gales blew all day.
Su Hao's destination was a training ground open to the public near Storm City.
—Sigh Valley.
There, fierce winds raged, forming echoes like sighs within the valley that lingered endlessly.
Su Hao chose Sigh Valley as his first stop to train the Dream Moth and Little Fire Crow's evasive abilities.
Neither spirit was the tanky type; "dodge" was their most crucial skill.
"Since both the Dream Moth and Little Fire Crow can fly, this venue can train both spirits at once."
As for training illusion abilities?
No matter.
Training anywhere works.
Su Hao took the escalator underground to a place resembling a subway station.
To reach the New World entrance, he had to take a special subway beneath the hub.
Few people were here now; a few young men and women around his age were stopped at the entrance.
"Let us in, please!"
"We have money! Isn't Sigh Valley open to the public?!"
"Just one look, one look..."
The guard at the entrance remained unmoved, only his Flame Pig occasionally snorting sparks from its nostrils, deterring the youngsters from trying to force their way in.
Su Hao walked past, catching their attention.
He casually pulled out his Spirit Master ID, swiped it with a beep, and opened the turnstile.
Went in...
In...
In...
The youngsters' eyes widened. "Why can he..."
"He's an intermediate Spirit Master. What about you? Think about your own level.
"Keep crowding here, and I'll arrest you for obstruction of duty."
The guard's gaze followed the Dream Moth on Su Hao's head, finding it familiar.
What spirit was that?
Suddenly, his expression shifted, recalling the recent buzz about the silkworm baby and that man.
"So it's him!"
...
The New World training grounds open to the public naturally had restrictions.
Entry-level was the minimum requirement.
Some dangerous ones even required elite level for access.
Su Hao took the subway to the entrance. Without King Zhou leading, the checks were much stricter. Upon arriving in Storm City, all he saw was white snow and howling winds.
But he had bought a ticket for Sigh Valley's training ground, with no chance for free movement or leaving the city. He was quickly taken to his destination.
The entrance to Sigh Valley.
The wind was colder than in An City. Su Hao tightened his coat.
The Dream Moth flapped its wings, blowing away the falling snow.
Little Fire Crow flew around uncomfortably.
This environment was... freezing for a crow!
Su Hao waited a while at the entrance's management office. Soon, a young man in his early twenties approached.
"Hello, I'm your guide and bodyguard, responsible for your training guidance over the next ten days. My name is Zhu Mingda."
