Chapter 101: Utterly Clueless About “domain”
Qian Dai also sensed the anomaly. As a Space Element Spirit Plant, she was naturally more sensitive to Space Element Spiritual Power fluctuations.
Unlike before, stable Space Element Spiritual Power fluctuations emanated from every Mirror Door.
Now, she could clearly feel that the Spiritual Power fluctuations inside some Mirror Doors had changed in nature.
More pulsating, more active, with a surging sensation like before a volcanic eruption.
Suddenly, the mutation occurred.
An Empty Mirror Doll appeared in the Mirror Door closest to Qian Dai.
“Quiet!”
With the Empty Mirror Doll’s sharp shout, centered here, the five nearby Mirror Doors suddenly shattered, and countless Mirror Shards rushed straight toward Qian Dai’s position.
Seeing this scene, Ge Bai’s pupils contracted sharply, her heart filled with extreme anxiety.
But at this moment, she finally understood that this was the true “Mirror Shatter”.
Qian Dai was already on high alert, and the moment she detected the anomaly, she used Spatial Teleportation to leave the Mirror Shatter’s attack range.
But the Empty Mirror Doll was not so easy to deal with. The angles at which these shattered Mirror Doors and Mirror Shards shot out were clearly meticulously calculated.
Qian Dai after Spatial Teleportation could dodge them.
But after Qian Dai stabilized her position, she realized.
The endpoint of the Mirror Shatter path she dodged was the position of Big Willow on the ground not far away.
“Qian Dai!”
Ge Bai also noticed this immediately and shouted a warning to Qian Dai.
Another Spatial Teleportation, and Qian Dai barely managed to help Big Willow dodge this round of attack from the Empty Mirror Doll.
Half a second, two Spatial Teleportations—this was no small consumption for Qian Dai.
Plus this match had already lasted a long time, with almost nonstop Spatial Teleportations, Qian Dai’s Spiritual Power was already nearly depleted.
Just now, she had gritted her teeth to teleport Big Willow to the other side of the Arena in midair opposite herself.
At this moment, there were still 31 Mirror Doors on the field.
“Surrender. You can’t win.”
At this time, Shi Chenliang looked calmly at Ge Bai, his voice steady as he spoke.
“It doesn’t matter if I tell you. The ‘Mirror Shatter’ relying on the Mirror Doors doesn’t consume much Spiritual Power. We can still unleash at least 7 more rounds of Mirror Shatter at this intensity.”
Shi Chenliang spoke unhurriedly, even seeming very sincere.
“Or, we could make all the Mirror Doors shatter together. Once we use ‘Mirror Domain’ combined with ‘Mirror Shatter’ as an area attack, I can’t guarantee the final casualties.”
Actually, at this moment, he was truly giving a well-intentioned reminder.
As Shi Chenliang thought, they would be classmates in the future, and might even be teammates on the same school team. There was really no need to fight to the death in this exchange match.
Hearing Shi Chenliang say this, Ge Bai smiled.
“How do you know we will definitely lose?”
“Can fleeing with your tail between your legs win?”
Seeing Ge Bai’s stubbornness, Shi Chenliang raised his voice.
“That Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid’s Spiritual Power is also nearly depleted. How many more Spatial Teleportations can you do?”
“Guess?”
Until the last moment, Ge Bai would absolutely not give up.
On the surface, Ge Bai’s response was casual, but in reality, she was also breaking out in a cold sweat for Big Willow and Qian Dai.
『Big Willow, seize the timing. As soon as the Empty Mirror Doll moves, unleash Wind Blades at full power toward the surrounding Mirror Doors.』
Ge Bai transmitted to Big Willow. Even if it was a blind cat stumbling on a dead mouse, they had to give it a try.
Up to now in this match, Qian Dai had been the one expending effort mainly, while Big Willow hadn’t consumed much and should contribute now.
『Qian Dai, you have Spirit Recovery Peaches on you. Wait a bit longer. When Spiritual Power is exhausted, use them when needed.』
Before coming to the Venue today, Ge Bai had stuffed all the Spirit Recovery Peaches recently made by Little Peach into Qian Dai’s Space Bag for emergencies.
Although the rules in Jinggang No. 1 Middle School Special Recruitment were the same as the City Level Arena Competition Preliminary, prohibiting the use of recovery potions or Materials during the Match.
However, if such recovery potions or Materials were skills inherent to the Pet Beast contracted by the Beast Tamer or Spirit Planter, or byproducts produced by skills, then it was fine.
This was also in line with common sense. They couldn’t disallow contracting a healer, right?
In the current situation, Little Peach could no longer be hidden.
Ge Bai had thought she could save Little Peach until the final match of the Special Recruitment.
And let her come out then to turn the tide. Who would have thought that in the semifinals, the opponent was already this strong.
She didn’t know how the match was going in the adjacent Venue, but right now she really had no energy to pay attention to others.
“Liu Gu!”
“La!”
Big Willow and Qian Dai in midair were on strict guard.
Seeing that Ge Bai and the others had no intention of surrendering, Shi Chenliang didn’t hesitate and directly transmitted to the Empty Mirror Doll.
『Small-range precise attacks, simultaneous strikes, force that Orchid to keep using Spatial Teleportation.』
“Quiet!”
The Empty Mirror Doll, holding the advantage, appeared exceptionally relaxed at this moment.
With a flash, the Empty Mirror Doll immediately disappeared into a Mirror Door.
Big Willow accurately seized the timing, unleashing 16 Wind Blades simultaneously, each shooting toward different Mirror Doors.
This was already the current limit for Big Willow in the number of Wind Blades per round.
Coincidentally, two Wind Blades closely followed the Empty Mirror Doll, appearing in the same Mirror Door.
But regrettably, neither Wind Blade grazed the Empty Mirror Doll.
Zero damage!
However, seeing Big Willow’s such strong sense of timing, Shi Chenliang still couldn’t help but feel a headache.
It was luck just now, but what if luck turned bad and a Wind Blade struck the Empty Mirror Doll’s vital point?
Shi Chenliang was somewhat worried, but he still firmly believed that the scales of victory would tip toward his side.
31 Mirror Doors were enough to blast the opponents out.
As one Mirror Door shattered, Mirror Shards shooting straight at Qian Dai, two Mirror Doors near Big Willow also shattered in response.
The timing was too perfect. To dodge the Mirror Shards, Qian Dai could only use Spatial Teleportation.
But she didn’t expect Big Willow to face “Mirror Shatter” at the same time. There was no time to react and help Big Willow dodge.
Helplessly, Big Willow could only swing its Willow Whips, intercepting as many Mirror Shards shooting at itself as possible.
But there were too many.
Even though Big Willow’s Willow Whips were swinging fiercely, Willow Whips were still Willow Whips, not a defense skill.
Still, quite a few Mirror Shards penetrated Big Willow’s Willow Whips, shooting toward its main trunk.
By the time Qian Dai found a landing spot, stabilized, and then used Spatial Teleportation to help Big Willow, Big Willow’s main trunk was not only covered in wounds but also had many Mirror Shards embedded in it. The entire Weeping Ancient Willow looked extremely disheveled.
Qian Dai placing Big Willow on the diagonal line earlier was not wrong.
Two against one, separating positions maximized the strain on the Empty Mirror Doll’s attention.
But no one expected the Empty Mirror Doll to launch “Mirror Shatter” at two points simultaneously.
Looking at the disheveled Weeping Ancient Willow and Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid after this round of attack, Shi Chenliang raised an eyebrow.
He thought to himself that they knew nothing about the Mirror Domain, or rather, the concept of “Domain”.
