Chapter 59: The Thousand Generations Sword Isn’t Just For Throwing
Ge Bai had no choice but to first touch Big Willow’s trunk, giving it a soothing look.
Big Willow’s Wind Blades didn’t stop, instead increasing the frequency a bit more, and You Hu looked somewhat resentful after being pushed back by the Wind Blades.
This Big Willow tree was taking it out on him!
“Meow!”
The lynx turned back dissatisfied to complain to its own Beast Tamer, but Flower Shirt couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to it, as he was curiously watching Ge Bai summon another spirit plant it hadn’t seen before.
Seeing no response, the lynx had no choice but to shake off its fur and continue training.
This guy was smart, and it couldn’t give its Beast Tamer an excuse to delay going to see Ollie tonight.
Here, Ge Bai held Thousand Generations Orchid, leaned against Big Willow’s trunk and sat down, earnestly explaining to her.
“Actually, Big Willow is mainly working here. See, the frequency and force of the Wind Blades are much weaker than when it battles you.”
“What is work?”
Ge Bai had to start from the basics like labor, earning money, buying Nutrient Solution, and explain to Thousand Generations Orchid.
“Then I want to work too.”
When Thousand Generations Orchid heard that both Big Willow and Little Peach had the job of sparring partner, she couldn’t sit still anymore.
Ge Bai looked speechlessly at Thousand Generations Orchid, thinking about her Thousand Generations Sword.
She really feared letting Thousand Generations Orchid on the field; not only would she not earn sparring fees, but she’d have to compensate for medical expenses.
“Ge Bai~”
Thousand Generations Orchid keenly noticed Ge Bai’s difficulty and coyly brought her Flower Sword close to her palm, the soft petals gently rubbing against it twice.
Ah, this soft and cute scheming little flower, who could resist?
Do it! Since the child made a request, she had to find a way to solve it.
Ge Bai gritted her teeth and racked her brains.
“Thousand Generations, can you control the Thousand Generations Sword skill more precisely?”
“For example, after releasing it, not letting Thousand Generations Sword explode.”
Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid had been leisurely since birth, and these two skills had awakened at some unknown time without her ever thinking about them carefully.
Hearing Ge Bai’s words suddenly, she was a bit stunned.
“I don’t know, I haven’t tried.”
Thousand Generations Orchid felt a bit guilty saying this.
Ge Bai didn’t react much; she couldn’t demand too much from a little orchid living in a Secret Realm Space sheltered by the Sovereign.
But things would be different from now on; everyone needed to step up.
So Ge Bai encouraged, “Why not give it a try.”
With that, she got up and took Thousand Generations to the adjacent Training Room.
“Big Willow, keep sparring with You Hu on your own; we’ll be back soon.”
Big Willow nodded.
Though called two Training Rooms, they were right next to each other; with the glass curtain wall open, there was no obstruction to the view, so it wasn’t really a delay.
Here, Ge Bai placed Thousand Generations Orchid on the ground. Unaccustomed to this height, she used her Space Skill on her own, hovering in mid-air before starting to mobilize spiritual power.
Ge Bai watched puzzled, “Thousand Generations, have you already used Time Soil?”
Thousand Generations Orchid nodded, “Yes, the Grotto-Heaven Sovereign gave it to me after I awakened the Thousand Generations Sword skill.”
No wonder; this was also a property of Time Soil, allowing Thousand Generations Orchid to connect to the earth even when hovering in mid-air by default.
Time Soil was truly the best auxiliary material for space attribute spirit plants. Ge Bai planned to divide some out for Big Willow and Little Peach after finishing her afternoon tasks.
That way, when Thousand Generations Orchid used Space Skills on them, they could also appear stably anywhere in the space without needing a fulcrum.
Just thinking about it was wonderful.
Whoosh.
A Thousand Generations Sword was released. With no object in front of the Thousand Generations Sword, Thousand Generations Orchid deliberately didn’t control it to explode in the second phase.
Bang.
But when Thousand Generations Sword reached its maximum distance, it still exploded automatically, causing Space Distortion and tearing.
The huge sound accompanied by the spectacle of Space Distortion quickly drew the attention of people in the surrounding Training Rooms.
Space attribute skills were rare.
Flower Shirt’s voice immediately came through the headset.
“Damn! Your spirit plant has space attribute? That’s Space Distortion? Awesome!”
“Yeah, not bad.”
Hearing the exaggerated praise, Ge Bai decided to be modest.
The lynx was also drawn to the situation here, dodging Wind Blades while glancing toward Thousand Generations Orchid.
“Hmph!”
Big Willow remembered its willow threads broken by Thousand Generations Sword yesterday and could still recall the pain. Seeing the lynx distracted, it felt a surge of nameless anger.
It quietly increased the force of the next Wind Blade and deliberately angled it tricky.
Sure enough, the Wind Blade hit the lynx.
“Meow!” The lynx clearly felt pain and rolled backward to dissipate the force.
Second time! This Big Willow tree was sneaking in personal grudges while sparring!
The lynx knew better than anyone how heavy the Wind Blade hit.
“Meow, meow! Aow aow aow!” The lynx flipped up and turned to yell loudly at its Beast Tamer.
Big Willow obediently swayed its willow threads in place.
Flower Shirt glanced at his You Hu; its fur was just a bit messy with a couple broken strands, nothing serious, so he didn’t make a fuss.
Instead, he lectured, “I saw you looking at the next Training Ground. Focus! You got hit while being distracted and still have the nerve to complain?”
Flower Shirt wasn’t wrong; You Hu continued training dejectedly.
Here, Thousand Generations Orchid’s enthusiasm also waned, “Ge Bai, it didn’t work.”
Ge Bai stood by, thought carefully, and analyzed for her.
“Your Thousand Generations Sword can be divided into two stages: one is shooting it out, the other is exploding with Space Distortion.”
“Logically, the two stages require different spiritual power, even different spiritual power attributes.”
“Thousand Generations, let me give you an idea.”
“See, you can already control the shot Thousand Generations Sword to explode with Space Distortion at any time, so you should be able to reverse it and suppress the Space Distortion explosion.”
“Even when shooting Thousand Generations Sword, don’t infuse the spiritual power that causes the Space Distortion explosion; you’ll need to feel it out carefully.”
Thousand Generations Orchid nodded readily; she wasn’t dumb, just hadn’t used her brain on this before.
While Ge Bai explained the idea, spiritual power in Thousand Generations Orchid’s body was already circulating.
Thousand Generations Orchid felt it; this approach was feasible.
She calmed down, silently mobilizing her internal spiritual power, carefully sensing the Spiritual Power Fluctuation before releasing Thousand Generations Sword.
Whoosh… Bang…
Thousand Generations Orchid didn’t stop and immediately tried again.
Seeing this, Ge Bai didn’t disturb her but glanced back at Big Willow and the others; everything normal. She then opened the Spirit Plant Cultivation Atlas and flipped to Thousand Generations Orchid’s page.
[Skill: Thousand Generations Sword – Beginner (32/100)]
Sure enough, Thousand Generations Sword proficiency wouldn’t grow easily after just one or two practices.
Ge Bai multitasked, keeping an eye on the Spirit Plant Cultivation Atlas, counting how many times Thousand Generations Orchid released Thousand Generations Sword, and occasionally checking if Big Willow’s sparring was going normally.
Being an excellent Spirit Planter—no, a water-carrying master—wasn’t easy.
That’s it for today’s chapter; extra update tomorrow.
