Chapter 54: She Wants Both The Time Soil And Little Orchid! [event Extra Update 3]
“Finishing Blow!”
Seeing the Wind Blade hit Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid, Ge Bai shouted out loud.
Big Willow immediately reacted, but at this moment, brewing Wind Weave Domain was clearly too late.
It quickly rolled toward Little Orchid’s direction and fired two more Wind Blades.
“This Weeping Ancient Willow is not bad, it’s just that the Level is too low and still needs good cultivation.” The Sovereign Cave Heaven Tree watching the Battlefield from afar commented on the duel, “The little girl is pretty good too.”
“Heh.” The System sneered, “Not much stronger than you were back then.”
The Cave Heaven Tree fell silent for a moment, “Shen Nong, your habit of talking back really hasn’t changed in centuries!”
Over on the Battle Arena side.
Little Orchid was no pushover either. Although hit by a Wind Blade, it quickly stabilized its form, endured the pain, circulated Spiritual Power, and activated Spatial Teleportation Skill.
With a snap, Little Orchid disappeared from the spot, and the two Wind Blades grazed its Leaves and landed on the Open Ground.
What a pity.
Ge Bai sighed inwardly, but didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she comforted Big Willow, “Don’t rush, take it slow.”
This duel went back and forth, with many rounds of exchanges, which was a considerable consumption for both sides.
Big Willow’s Spiritual Power Content was only about one-third left. Ge Bai thought for a moment, took out a bottle of Nutrient Solution, and handed it to Big Willow.
Big Willow gladly downed the Nutrient Solution in one gulp, but was somewhat puzzled.
It clearly saw Little Peach’s Spirit Recovery Peach in Ge Bai’s hand. Wasn’t the effect of Spirit Recovery Peach much better than Nutrient Solution?
Actually, using Nutrient Solution during Battle wasn’t wise; the slow Spiritual Power Recovery couldn’t provide a very good boost.
“Big Willow, pretend to be exhausted. That Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid is getting anxious.”
Ge Bai explained softly.
“Liu Gu!” Big Willow understood instantly.
Actually, no need to pretend to be exhausted; this match had really consumed a lot.
On Little Orchid’s side, the consumption was similarly heavy.
Ge Bai clearly noticed that Little Orchid’s preparation and activation time for Skills was longer, and the range of Teleportation Flash was much smaller than at the start.
Although its Spiritual Power Level was much higher than Big Willow’s, it was evident that the consumption for these two Skills was significantly higher than Big Willow’s Wind Blade.
Dragging it out like this, it would definitely lose.
Competitive and strong-willed Little Orchid could not tolerate losing to a mere ordinary Third Order Weeping Ancient Willow.
It also realized that its Thousand Generations Sword was perfectly countered by the opponent’s Wind Blade. After thinking for a moment, it Flashed, greatly closing the distance between itself and Big Willow.
At such a short distance, it didn’t believe this willow tree could still handle Thousand Generations Sword easily.
Sure enough, although the Wind Blade intercepted Thousand Generations Sword, the distance between them was much closer than before, and the Spatial Tear still affected Big Willow, with the edge Willow Threads being shredded and damaged by the Space.
Seeing this move work, Little Orchid went even more berserk, trying to Flash to an even closer position to Big Willow.
“Big Willow, protect the vitals, respond normally.”
Although Ge Bai’s mind raced through three or four methods to resolve this round’s crisis, she planned to play big and end the duel directly.
Big Willow’s trust in Ge Bai was unquestionable. It stood firmly in place, tanking the Thousand Generations Swords launched from even closer positions.
Due to insufficient Spiritual Power, Big Willow’s Wind Blade power was also weakening, making it increasingly difficult to block Thousand Generations Sword.
The originally cautious Little Orchid, who had been attacking from afar on the periphery and retreating after one strike, became bolder upon seeing this, constantly appearing closer to Big Willow.
Hooked.
At this time, Ge Bai stood motionless beside Big Willow. Even as the Space Distortion and shredded Willow Threads fragments slashed her cheek, she showed no reaction.
She just held the Spirit Recovery Peach in her hand, staring intently at the constantly Flashing Little Orchid.
The opportunity had come.
After Big Willow barely blocked a Thousand Generations Sword and Little Orchid Flashed and disappeared again.
Ge Bai unhesitatingly pressed the Spirit Recovery Peach onto Big Willow’s main trunk. The Fruit instantly turned into a massive surge of Spiritual Power that poured into Big Willow’s body, rapidly restoring its status.
“Storm Willow Blade Hammer. Next time, it will definitely enter your Attack range.”
Big Willow circulated all its Spiritual Power, preparing for the final strike.
Sure enough, Little Orchid appeared closer this time than last, in front of Big Willow’s left side.
Sensing the Spiritual Power Fluctuation, Big Willow immediately unleashed Storm Willow Blade Hammer with full force toward the left front.
The air was instantly torn apart, carrying high-speed rotating air currents with the force of a thousand jun, smashing down head-on toward Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid.
The Little Orchid that had just stabilized its form was stunned by this sight. But at this moment, it had no time or energy to Flash away again and could only use its Leaves to protect its vitals as best it could, hard-taking Big Willow’s near-full status all-out strike.
Boom.
The hard rocky ground was smashed into a huge crater, with Little Orchid’s Leaves protecting its core as it lay collapsed in the center of the deep pit, seemingly having lost consciousness.
Ge Bai stood at the edge of the pit, glanced at it, and seeing it truly had no strength to get up, finally let out a long breath and plopped down on her butt.
Won. It really wasn’t easy.
“How was it?” The System’s telepathic voice appeared by the Cave Heaven Tree’s ear. Though emotionless, the Cave Heaven Tree detected a sense of smugness.
Indeed not bad. Challenging across 5 Levels aside, resolving a Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid with Space Ability really required some skill.
“Barely passable.” The Cave Heaven Tree wasn’t willing to let the System feel too comfortable and said stubbornly.
“Heh,” the System didn’t argue with her, “Cut the crap, where’s the Time Soil? Hand it over quickly.”
There was nothing to be reluctant about; she was actually happy to give Ge Bai some good stuff.
Although Time Soil was precious, if it could help the Sovereign’s chosen one grow quickly, she was willing to give everything she had.
The Cave Heaven Tree’s Leaves moved slightly, and a Spatial Rift appeared out of thin air in front of Ge Bai, from which a Small Box dropped.
This startled the already relaxed Ge Bai; she jumped up, about to go on alert again, when the System’s voice rang in her mind.
“Congratulations to the host for defeating Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid and completing the System Task – Sovereign Spirit Plant Cave Heaven Tree’s Trial.”
“Advanced Level Resource Time Soil has been delivered. Please store it properly, host.”
“Use Plum Garden Spiritual Power Badge to return anytime.”
Hearing the System’s voice, Ge Bai finally relaxed again.
Actually, she hadn’t even noticed that, at some point, she had also started to trust and rely on Shen Nong System.
Advanced Level Resource. Ge Bai had just been given a crash course at the Spirit Plant Research Institute and naturally knew how valuable Advanced Level Resources were.
The Small Box had landed not far from her. She walked over, opened the lid, and a full box of Time Soil appeared before her eyes.
The brownish soil emitted a fresh fragrance. Looking closely, colorful halos flowed between the soil particles.
[Time Soil: Advanced Level Resource with dual Time and Space Attributes. Spirit Plants containing this soil can establish a Spatial Channel with the earth, having the equivalent effect of being rooted in the ground at all times.]
Just what was needed!
Seeing the resource description from the System, Ge Bai’s eyes lit up!
If they had had Time Soil earlier, Big Willow wouldn’t have been so battered.
Delighted, Ge Bai didn’t immediately pick up the Time Soil and leave. Instead, she turned and jumped into the crater.
Time Soil wasn’t going anywhere, but Ge Bai also wanted to take this Little Orchid.
