Chapter 66: The Flash Fire Rabbit That Got Beaten Silly
Standing on the battlefield, Ge Bai finally saw her opponent clearly.
It was a tall boy who looked young, at most a high school student.
His Pet Beast Flash Fire Drooping Ear Rabbit had already been summoned and was being held in the boy’s arms.
Ge Bai looked closely. The snow-white Drooping Ear Rabbit had red flame patterns on its limbs, face, and ears.
The Flash Fire Rabbit’s bright red little eyes stared unblinkingly at Ge Bai.
“Ji!” When she saw Big Willow standing on Ge Bai’s shoulder, she slightly raised her little rabbit head and snorted disdainfully.
Linking to the System, the Flash Fire Drooping Ear Rabbit’s information appeared clearly in Ge Bai’s eyes.
[Type: Flash Fire Drooping Ear Rabbit (Extraordinary Species)]
[Spiritual Power Value: Zero Order (Mortal Spirit Realm) Level 4 (132.66/400)]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Skill: Low Kick-Proficient. Skill Description: After using this skill, it quickly moves in the specified direction, dealing massive physical damage to enemies encountered.]
[Skill: Spark-Beginner. Skill Description: Launches small flames to attack enemies, causing damage and applying burn effect.]
A fire-attribute Pet Beast.
Indeed, in terms of attributes, Spirit Plants at low levels generally fear fire-attribute ones.
But when Ge Bai saw the skill proficiencies, she felt steady in her heart.
“Big Willow, she only has Spark and Low Kick, just play freely, no problem.”
After a simple explanation, Ge Bai handed the battlefield to Big Willow.
“Liu Gu!”
Big Willow shouted excitedly, jumped down from Ge Bai’s shoulder, and transformed into its original size in front of her.
When the audience saw a Weeping Ancient Willow appear on the battlefield, waves of chaotic murmurs arose.
“What’s that? A willow tree? Do willow trees have attack power?”
A youth holding a tiger-type Pet Beast turned his head and asked his companion in confusion.
“It’s a willow tree, no doubt. They should have, right?”
His companion answered uncertainly, while another in their group seemed to remember something.
“I remember, there really is a combat-capable willow tree. I saw the video that went viral on the forum a while ago.”
These Beast Tamers didn’t usually follow the Spirit Plants forum much. They had seen the video of Ge Bai’s Big Willow battling the Porcupine Beast at school, but after these days, their impression had faded.
Pulling the view back to the venue, the Flash Fire Rabbit’s Beast Tamer didn’t take Ge Bai seriously at all.
In his mind, both were Mortal Spirit Realm Level 4, and his Pet Beast was fire-attribute, completely countering Spirit Plants.
So he didn’t instruct the Flash Fire Rabbit much, just confidently patted her and placed her on the ground.
The Flash Fire Rabbit shook her fur on the ground, flicked her big ears, and assumed a sprinting posture.
Seeing both sides in the battle indicate readiness, the referee briskly blew the whistle for the match to start.
The whistle had just sounded.
Whoosh, the Flash Fire Rabbit leaped forward in one bound, her two big ears floating alongside her body like ribbons in the wind.
This Flash Fire Rabbit’s speed wasn’t slow, but Big Willow’s reaction was top-notch.
Six Wind Blades at full power shot out almost simultaneously from various angles, heading straight for the Flash Fire Rabbit, sealing off all her paths forward.
“Evasion!”
Seeing the Wind Blades coming, the Flash Fire Rabbit’s Beast Tamer panicked and shouted loudly.
The Flash Fire Rabbit hurriedly braked her forward charge, staring tightly at the Wind Blades, arduously dodging through the gaps.
Pop, pop, two Wind Blades from the left were dodged, landing on the arena floor with crisp sounds.
“This Wind Blade’s attack power isn’t low!”
The several rows of audience seats near the arena could clearly hear this voice.
The Preliminary Competition arena was a standard arena; attacks from Pet Beasts below Hegemon Level rarely caused actual damage to it.
But audiences and contestants who often watched matches could basically infer attack strength from the sounds and marks left on the arena.
Seeing the power of these two Wind Blades, the Flash Fire Rabbit’s Beast Tamer’s heart sank; this was not like what he had imagined.
Before he could think more, the next four Wind Blades chased up to the Flash Fire Rabbit.
The Flash Fire Rabbit had just barely dodged earlier; after a tumble landing, her stance wasn’t steady yet. Seeing these four Wind Blades, she was willing but unable.
She could only tuck her head into her chest and take the four Wind Blades head-on.
“Ji”
Big Willow’s full-power Wind Blades weren’t easy to take. Instantly, four bloody gashes appeared on the snow-white Flash Fire Rabbit.
The fallen Flash Fire Rabbit wailed, this “ji” completely devoid of the earlier disdainful mockery.
“Hong Tu!”
The Flash Fire Rabbit’s Beast Tamer anxiously called her name.
“Hold on, stand up!”
Seeing the Flash Fire Rabbit down, Big Willow didn’t seize the chance to follow up with two more Wind Blades to end the battle.
Instead, like in sparring with You Hu, it waited in place.
Ge Bai saw this and didn’t say anything. This was originally a sure win for Big Willow; she planned to let Big Willow decide when and how to attack.
The Flash Fire Rabbit struggled twice on the arena, wobbling unsteadily to stand.
Big Willow still swayed its Willow Threads, waiting for the Flash Fire Rabbit’s move.
More and more spectators on the surrounding stands focused on this venue.
“Did you see that round of Wind Blades just now? Speed, strength, angles all good.”
“Yeah! I remember a freshly contracted wild Weeping Ancient Willow that went viral a while ago. Is it the one on the field now?”
“Should be it. I found the video of this Weeping Ancient Willow’s previous battle, the one against the Porcupine Beast. It was Wind Blade skill, no doubt, but it clearly feels like its Wind Blades are sharper now.”
……
On the arena, the referee who was about to announce the battle result saw the Flash Fire Rabbit stand up, and Big Willow not minding much, so he held off on the whistle and watched another round for safety.
“Hong Tu, organize another attack, get close, fire attack.”
The Flash Fire Rabbit’s Beast Tamer wasn’t willing to give up, feeling it was just carelessness earlier.
“Ji.”
The Flash Fire Rabbit forced herself to perk up, planted her limbs, and leaped out again.
Seeing the Flash Fire Rabbit move, Big Willow gathered Spiritual Power and began organizing the second round of offense.
This time, the Flash Fire Rabbit’s speed was noticeably slower than before, but much more cautious, with more varied zigzag jumping paths.
3, 5, 9.
Standing beside Big Willow, Ge Bai clearly knew this round Big Willow prepared nine Wind Blades.
But Big Willow wasn’t hasty; it let the Flash Fire Rabbit charge toward it.
The distance grew closer.
“Hong Tu, fire attack!”
Hearing her Beast Tamer’s command mid-leap, the Flash Fire Rabbit quickly gathered Spiritual Power. Her drooping ears covered in fiery red patterns lit up slightly, and two Sparks shot out with flashes, heading straight for Big Willow.
Big Willow had long anticipated the Flash Fire Rabbit’s Sparks; two Wind Blades targeted them.
Pop, pop, easily intercepting the Sparks mid-air.
The Sparks failed to hit, but by now, the Flash Fire Rabbit was already close to Big Willow.
