Chapter 33: Waterloo [go On Sale, Begging For First Subscriptions]
On the opposite side of the arena, Silver Armor Vajra stepped forward one step. He did not, like the macaque, directly enter a sprinting charge state.
It might be because speed is not a strong point for giant ape-like creatures, it might be out of courtesy, or it might be out of caution.
He placed all four limbs on the ground, staring fixedly at Big Willow.
Big Willow was not polite at all and directly unleashed four Wind Blades.
Silver Armor Vajra neither dodged nor evaded, as if extremely confident in his own defensive strength.
He slightly raised his upper body and crossed his arms in front of him.
This really was a contestant from a martial arts school; the motion to block the Wind Blades was exactly the same.
Smack smack smack smack
Four Wind Blades successively smashed onto King Kong’s arms.
His defensive level was naturally much stronger than the macaque’s. The Wind Blades only left faint marks on King Kong’s arms, not even bloodstains.
Ge Bai saw it clearly and felt a slight heaviness in her heart.
After blocking the Wind Blades, Silver Armor Vajra finally moved, charging straight toward this side.
Only one chance.
From the other side of the arena to here, just 25 meters—this was only enough for Big Willow to charge up once and unleash one skill.
In the end, was it Wind Weave Domain or Storm Willow Blade Hammer?
Ran Cai Jiao and Silver Armor Vajra were guessing, and Ge Bai was hesitating too.
But Silver Armor Vajra’s tactics were basically playing an open hand. Even if Ge Bai was not particularly familiar with giant ape-like creatures, she had heard of King Kong’s signature skill, Mount Tai Fist.
As long as Silver Armor Vajra got close to the body, his skill would certainly be Mount Tai Fist.
Weeping Ancient Willow’s entire tree of Willow Threads fluttered, faintly shimmering with light.
Ge Bai’s hand had been pressed against Big Willow’s trunk the whole time.
No time to hesitate more—go all out with the strongest skill.
“Big Willow, Storm Willow Blade Hammer.”
“Liu Gu!”
At the same time as making this decision, Ge Bai quickly mobilized spiritual power to help Big Willow complete spiritual power circulation.
Big Willow calmed his mind and recalled the Storm Willow Blade Hammer skill, steadily charging up until the Willow Threads trembled and wind attribute spiritual power overflowed from their tips, as if faint tiny slicing sounds could be heard.
At this moment, Silver Armor Vajra also charged right up close.
The Storm Willow Blade Hammer was swung by Big Willow with ferocious momentum, smashing straight toward Silver Armor Vajra.
Silver Armor Vajra was not intimidated at all and charged straight at the Storm Willow Blade Hammer, gathering spiritual power at his right fist.
“Ooh!”
Mount Tai Fist met the Storm Willow Blade Hammer.
Several Willow Threads snapped, but the momentum did not diminish. The two forces collided together, winds overlapping, energy spilling out to the surroundings.
The Storm Willow Blade Hammer showed no weakness at all; the spectating crowd could feel the power of this clash.
Silver Armor Vajra’s right fist onward, most of his arm was torn apart, covered in bloodstains.
There was a full level difference between the two; this skill’s attack power was too impressive.
“Ooh ooh”
The result of the clash clearly exceeded Silver Armor Vajra’s expectations. He suddenly felt the pain and instinctively buried his head under his arm while turning his body to slam toward Weeping Ancient Willow.
This was Mount Tai Press Down!
In the distance, Ran Cai Jiao saw Silver Armor Vajra, stimulated by the pain, forget her instruction to hold back a bit and use another skill, Mount Tai Press Down. She anxiously shouted out.
“Gang Zi! Stop!”
Silver Armor Vajra heard his beast tamer’s shout, and his spiritual power circulation paused, but the skill’s offensive momentum could no longer be stopped.
Big Willow had no time to dodge at all and merely raised the roots deeply embedded in the arena, shifting one small step.
With a bang, half of the willow tree’s branches were smashed off by Silver Armor Vajra.
This was a serious injury.
Big Willow could no longer stand and collapsed onto the arena.
Ge Bai rushed over and, seeing Big Willow’s miserable state, her eyes instantly reddened.
“What are you standing around for! Where are the healers? All come over!”
In the distance, Ran Cai Jiao had long since run over here. Without time to check on her own pet beast’s condition, she also rushed to Big Willow’s side.
The martial arts school’s healers moved quickly. Noticing the commotion here, they all came running from various places.
They nimbly climbed onto the arena, and six macaques gathered around Weeping Ancient Willow at the same time, casting healing spells. White light rich in life attribute wrapped around Big Willow like it was free.
“Liu Gu.”
Big Willow, lying on the arena, slowly regained consciousness under the treatment and opened his eyes to see Ge Bai’s slightly red eyes.
“I’m fine, Bai Bai. It doesn’t hurt much.”
His voice was still very weak.
“It’s all my fault; I shouldn’t have agreed to a cross-level battle.” Ge Bai was nearly overwhelmed by guilt.
Big Willow quietly extended one Willow Thread, gently smoothing Ge Bai’s hair back, then entwined her arm.
“I’m really fine, Bai Bai. It just hurt a little earlier, and now it’s recovering super fast.”
Under the healing spell’s glow, the Willow Threads and branches recovered to pristine condition at a visible speed.
Seeing this scene, Ge Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“When clashing with Big King Kong’s Mount Tai Fist, I felt it was really exhilarating.”
Big Willow had healed and forgotten the pain; hearing him already reminiscing about the battle just now, Ge Bai gave him an annoyed glance and didn’t respond.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Ran Cai Jiao kneeling apologetically on Big Willow’s other side, watching the treatment supervision with concern, wanting to gently touch Big Willow’s branches but not quite daring.
Behind Ran Cai Jiao, Silver Armor Vajra was also squatting obediently with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong, his right arm still dripping blood.
Seeing this scene, Ge Bai also felt some pity.
They weren’t intentional; injuries in battle were perfectly normal.
Ge Bai softly comforted Ran Cai Jiao, “Don’t overthink it; it’s not your fault.”
Hearing Ge Bai’s voice, Ran Cai Jiao suddenly looked up.
“Ge Bai, I’m really sorry.”
Ge Bai smiled and shook her head. “It was an accident. Gang Zi didn’t mean to; it’s understandable that you can’t hold back during battle.”
Seeing Ge Bai say this, Ran Cai Jiao let out a long breath of relief. Her gaze toward Ge Bai held more gratitude than apology.
“Alright, Gang Zi is injured too. Quickly give him a healing spell as well.”
On Big Willow’s side, under the six macaques’ unstinting healing spells, he was recovering rapidly and was almost back to normal.
The macaques also withdrew their skills one by one. Two healers directly took their macaques to Silver Armor Vajra.
Ge Bai also called for Big Willow to shapeshift back to mini form, then took a bottle of nutrient solution from her bag and stuffed it into Big Willow’s arms.
Although the treatment was over, psychological comfort had to keep up too.
A bottle of nutrient solution at this time was just like the canned yellow peaches from childhood when sick—maximum soothing effect.
Big Willow happily accepted it, hugging the nutrient solution and jumping back onto Ge Bai’s shoulder.
Ran Cai Jiao turned back to glance at Gang Zi and, seeing the treatment underway, didn’t pay too much attention.
“It’s fine; this kind of injury is routine for Gang Zi.”
Silver Armor Vajra, squatting nearby, obediently placed his arm under the healing spell’s glow. Hearing his own beast tamer say this, he whined discontentedly twice.
“When he fought the firebird at school, it was way worse than this.” Ran Cai Jiao ignored him and continued explaining to Ge Bai: “Oh, I mean another player on our Jinggang No. 1 Middle School Alliance Competition school team. His firebird is two levels higher than Gang Zi.”
Ge Bai looked at Gang Zi’s torn arm and swallowed. This injury? Routine?!
Jinggang No. 1 Middle School had plenty of experts; they were really intense. She was even more looking forward to high school life.
Ran Cai Jiao was not one to beat around the bush either. Seeing Big Willow fully treated and Ge Bai not too angry, she let it go.
She then openly chatted with Ge Bai about pet beast battle situations without reservation.
“Ge Bai, I think your approach won’t work. Weeping Ancient Willow’s attack power is top-notch, but mobility is still too disadvantaged.”
These past two days, Big Willow had battled various pet beasts three or four times already. How could Ge Bai not have noticed this point?
