Chapter 61: A Game For Three, And The Lynx Getting Pinned And Rubbed [event Extra Update 5]
After hearing Ge Bai explain the sparring partner method clearly, Flower Shirt immediately felt relieved. Not only was there not much risk, but it could also make the sparring methods more varied, avoiding You Hu getting bored from long training sessions.
Moreover, adding a sparring partner spirit plant without extra cost was a profit for him.
Flower Shirt suddenly patted You Hu, who was lying beside him resting, “No problem, let’s do it as you said.”
This startled You Hu.
He resentfully glanced at his beast tamer. Adding difficulty? Then when could he finish this round of training and happily go on a date with Ollie?
Sigh, daily hardship for the lynx.
Here, seeing that Flower Shirt and You Hu had no objections, Ge Bai turned back and explained everything to Big Willow and Thousand Generations Orchid. Both Big Willow and Thousand Generations Orchid were eager to try.
Ge Bai thought for a moment and added, “Big Willow, now with this setup, lower the frequency of your wind blades a bit. I’m afraid the pressure on You Hu’s side will be too great.”
Big Willow nodded. No problem.
The second half of sparring began.
Big Willow still stood in place, firing wind blades one after another. You Hu’s training over these two days wasn’t in vain; he clearly felt that Big Willow’s wind blade frequency had decreased.
Instantly feeling capable again, he perked up and charged forward energetically.
Thousand Generations Orchid didn’t stand beside Big Willow but hovered in mid-air, silently gathering power before suddenly flinging Thousand Generations Sword.
This angle was even trickier than Big Willow’s wind blades. You Hu noticed Thousand Generations Sword and felt the pressure, his footwork faltering. Before Thousand Generations Sword could close in, he was knocked down by a wind blade.
“Meow!”
You Hu rolled over and stood up. He wasn’t convinced; this time he had been careless.
With a leap back to the starting position, he glanced at Big Willow, then at Thousand Generations Orchid, raised his head, signaling to start another round quickly.
“Looks like the effect is good. With an extra little partner, You Hu is full of energy.”
Ge Bai pressed her headset and said to Flower Shirt.
“Yes, yes, You Hu’s fighting spirit is up too.”
You Hu crouched low, rear legs powering forward in an arrow-like leap, as Big Willow’s wind blade arrived instantly.
Thousand Generations Orchid now unleashed a Thousand Generations Sword, which took 2-3 seconds to charge. She wasn’t in a hurry; from the start, there was no demand for high frequency from her.
Seeing her previous attack pressure You Hu, Thousand Generations Orchid got excited. Low frequency, but win with angles.
She carefully observed the entire venue, calculated You Hu’s advance path, performed a spatial teleportation to change position. Just as she appeared in the new spot, before You Hu could react, she flung Thousand Generations Sword.
At this moment, You Hu was busy dealing with wind blades and only saw Thousand Generations Sword when it reached his face, predictably struck right in the face by it.
A Thousand Generations Sword without space distortion couldn’t match wind blade power. You Hu just lowered his head slightly, took the hit, shook his head, and was fine.
But per sparring rules, he still had to return to the other side of the venue and charge again.
It didn’t hurt, but it was upsetting. You Hu muttered softly while walking back dejectedly, pounding his head.
He also realized that although Big Willow’s attack frequency had dropped, two attack points were much harder to handle than one.
“Ge Bai! Ge Bai! Did you see? My Thousand Generations Sword hit the lynx right in the face!”
Thousand Generations Orchid, thrilled with the successful hit, jumped excitedly in mid-air.
Ge Bai gave her a thumbs up. This little one was having quite a fun time.
She also patted Big Willow’s trunk, “Big Willow was great too. You need to watch out for Thousand Generations Orchid’s attacks more; the next one might come at you.”
“Mm!” Big Willow responded solemnly. He wasn’t like Thousand Generations Orchid, so unsteady.
Another round.
Ge Bai, constantly watching Thousand Generations Orchid, noticed that after unleashing this Thousand Generations Sword, she didn’t relax at all; spiritual power surged around her even stronger. Here it comes.
Ge Bai’s arms crossed tightly gripping her own arm. She glanced at Big Willow without warning him, then stared unblinkingly at the flying Thousand Generations Sword.
This time, You Hu noticed the incoming Thousand Generations Sword and was ready to evade.
But just as he jumped away, he discovered the Thousand Generations Sword that should have come at him vanished into thin air.
You Hu, frozen in place turning his head to search everywhere for the target, was then hit squarely by the following wind blade.
“Meow!”
Knocked down, You Hu rolled on the ground. This one doesn’t count! This time he was careless!
You Hu was out first this round, but Big Willow’s trouble wasn’t over.
Thousand Generations Sword suddenly appeared 10 meters ahead to Big Willow’s right front, shooting straight at him.
Big Willow had heard clearly earlier: the Thousand Generations Sword aimed at him was different from the one at You Hu—it would explode.
Recalling yesterday’s willow threads shredded by space distortion, Big Willow shuddered.
Swish, swish, swish.
This time he didn’t hold back, firing three wind blades in succession to intercept Thousand Generations Sword. He absolutely didn’t want to feel his willow threads shredded again.
You Hu lay in place without getting up, propping his head and watching the scene with interest.
The prep time for Big Willow was indeed too short; the three wind blades missed accuracy, all falling short.
At this point, Thousand Generations Sword was less than 5 meters from Big Willow. Fire another round of wind blades? Or prepare willow whip?
Big Willow had no time to hesitate and unleashed another round: four wind blades simultaneously.
Bang.
Wind blade hit Thousand Generations Sword.
Finally barely intercepting Thousand Generations Sword just outside his body range; the space distortion explosion’s reach was only a dozen centimeters from Big Willow.
Big Willow let out a heavy sigh of relief. This round was too close.
“Big Willow, you panicked.”
Ge Bai, who watched the whole thing, didn’t miss this teaching opportunity.
“Your first round of wind blades was subpar. Couldn’t adjust from the steady wind blade rhythm?”
“At 10 meters attack distance, you were too lenient on yourself. If fully committed, after the first wind blades, immediately prep the second without hesitation. Time-wise, even if the second didn’t intercept Thousand Generations Sword, you should’ve readied willow whip skill instead of standing there waiting.”
Ge Bai was completely right. Not just because mechanical sparring made Big Willow lax, but after beating Thousand Generations Orchid once, he didn’t value Thousand Generations Sword as much as he thought.
“Got it, Bai Bai. I’ll do better next time.”
Ge Bai patted Big Willow’s trunk, then called Thousand Generations Orchid over. Since starting the lecture, couldn’t just address one side.
Thousand Generations Orchid flashed to Ge Bai’s side, affectionately rubbing against her.
Ge Bai was delighted but forced a stern face, pulling Thousand Generations Orchid back a bit.
“Wasn’t your landing point too random? Control it!”
“Oh.”
Little Orchid was quite satisfied with her performance, tricking You Hu and nearly hitting Big Willow.
Being called out by Ge Bai dampened her mood a bit.
Ge Bai didn’t indulge her, firmly poking the little flower at the flower sword’s tip, “Since it’s battle, put more effort in.”
“Got it~ Got it!”
Thousand Generations Orchid fluttered her leaves, swung her flower sword, and flashed away. Next round she’d do better too!
