Chapter 94: Big Willow? Future Mobile Turret! [2-in-1]
Space Bind!
Another Advanced Skill, Qian Dai is really impressive.
Although there was previous accumulation, but in less than two hours this afternoon, to master another Advanced Space Skill, no matter where you put it, you’d have to praise it as extraordinarily talented.
Not to mention Mortal Spirit Realm or Transcendence Realm Space Element pet beasts, even a Hegemon Level Space Element pet beast mastering three Advanced Space Skills could strut around confidently.
Ge Bai at this moment didn’t know whether to marvel at Qian Dai’s prowess or sigh at the System’s precision.
Qian Dai didn’t know all that, just excitedly hovering around in mid-air.
Ge Bai at this moment spotted Big Willow still trapped in place, not even its Willow Threads able to move a bit, and quickly said to Qian Dai.
“Qian Dai, quickly release Big Willow, or Big Willow will get angry in a bit.”
Bound by Space Bind, but still able to hear sounds.
Big Willow’s face was expressionless, no need to wait a bit, it was already angry right now!
Qian Dai wasn’t really deliberately making things hard for Big Willow, she was just too happy and only now remembered Big Willow was still trapped.
She immediately released the Space Bind, and thoughtfully delivered a Spatial Teleportation, sending Big Willow to the third-floor balcony.
Ge Bai didn’t dare delay, quickly asked Qian Dai for a bottle of Nutrient Solution, and rushed out to appease Big Willow.
Third-floor balcony.
Big Willow transformed back to mini form, hugging the Nutrient Solution and nestling on the balcony’s sofa, turning its back to ignore Ge Bai.
“Aiya, Big Willow is the most magnanimous, this was just a coincidence, think of it as helping Qian Dai.”
Ge Bai sidled up to Big Willow, dodging the main issue and coaxing good-naturedly.
“Hmph!”
Big Willow now realized, these two were really too much, knowing it was afraid of mice yet tricking it into being a sparring partner.
Just talk nicely, being a sparring partner is no big deal, it’s not stingy, how could it refuse?
“One, no, two new skills!”
Big Willow was angry but its brain was clear, seizing the chance to make demands of Ge Bai.
It knew very well that its own Spirit Planter had quite a few things, with an absurdly high sensitivity to Spirit Plant skills.
Right after contracting with Ge Bai back then, it was clearly informed there must be Attack Skills, before it, which Weeping Ancient Willow had Attack Skills.
And at that time, Big Willow itself couldn’t grasp the new skill no matter what, but Ge Bai always found the quick path to mastery, as if she innately knew what the skill should be like.
That dummy Orchid Qian Dai, wandering in the Secret Realm Space for two years, still only knew two skills.
Without Ge Bai, just relying on her, how could she learn new skills in such a short few weeks?
Space Bind!
Big Willow, having personally experienced this skill, knew very well how powerful it was.
Envious, jealous, it wanted it too.
“Alright alright alright, no problem, two it is, let me think about it.”
Ge Bai agreed very readily, wasn’t it just one or two System points, what was so hard about that?
“Ordinary skills won’t do, I want ones with strong Attack Power, and they have to be Advanced Skills!”
Big Willow had learned to be shrewd now, though it wasn’t angry anymore, but seeing Ge Bai agree so readily, it still seized the chance to up the ante, no perfunctory stuff.
“Alright, I’ll do my best.”
Ge Bai’s agreement was very sincere, its own Spirit Plant wanting to learn Advanced Skills was a good thing, she had to find ways to create conditions for it!
Big Willow, seeing this, went along with it and let it go, bouncing back into Ge Bai’s arms, sucking hard twice, drinking the Nutrient Solution clean down to the last drop.
Ge Bai was also straightforward, seeing it was still early, promptly used Spiritual Sense to communicate with the System, opening the [Spirit Plant Skill Intelligence Research] section.
Checked Weeping Ancient Willow in the research target column, spending one System point.
Moments later, the System gave the Intelligence Research success prompt sound.
‘Weeping Ancient Willow, new skill: Earth Communication (Advanced Skill), skill description: Greatly enhances the Spirit Plant’s communication efficiency with the earth, allowing it to quickly obtain natural Spiritual Power to replenish itself.’
Whoa! This skill is pretty good too.
To be fair, Shen Nong 3.7’s Spirit Plant Skill Intelligence Research result was quite impressive.
Big Willow was still in Mortal Spirit Realm, with long-range, close-range, basic attacks, and ultimate all covered, not short on Attack Skills.
Not only that, Ge Bai had also noticed the drawback, in recent battles, Big Willow clearly ran low on stamina toward the end, especially Storm Willow Blade Hammer and Wind Weave Domain, too Spiritual Power consuming.
Couldn’t always rely on Little Peach’s Spirit Recovery Peach for every battle.
Originally hoped Big Willow would increase Spiritual Power Value, evolve to Transcendence Realm to improve the situation.
Who would’ve thought, now there’s Earth Communication!
Actually, it was really the most suitable skill for Big Willow at this stage.
This Earth Communication wasn’t rare, it was a general-purpose Advanced Auxiliary Skill, many Hegemon Level Spirit Planters coveted it and dreamed of it.
Any Spirit Plant with Attack Power, once mastering this Earth Communication skill, could basically be called a mobile Turret.
In the Interstellar Alliance’s Fifth Battle Team, there was a Hegemon Level Devil Vine that mastered Earth Communication, dominating battlefields in every campaign, even more flashy than some Commander Level Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts.
Ge Bai truly felt from the heart that this skill was fantastic.
But, it didn’t meet Big Willow’s requirements.
Her violent Willow had clearly said it wanted Advanced Skills with strong Attack Power.
Ge Bai looked at Big Willow, hesitating to speak.
Big Willow saw Ge Bai like this, cautiously turning back to meet her gaze.
What did this mean?
Just agreed nicely, not even two minutes passed, preparing to back out? It wouldn’t stand for that!
“Bai Bai?”
Big Willow looked at Ge Bai pitifully, speaking plaintively.
Ge Bai felt a bit embarrassed.
“Um, Big Willow, Advanced Skill, right?”
Big Willow shook its head vigorously, Willow Threads whipping around, saying solemnly.
“Advanced Skill with strong Attack Power.”
This one sentence left Ge Bai with no retort, could only steel herself and agree.
“Alright.”
Look some more, maybe scan a few powerful skills as templates for the Spirit Plant Skill Intelligence Research System.
Put this Earth Communication aside for now, Big Willow was being stubborn right now.
That evening, Ge Bai made the excited Qian Dai and the envious Big Willow rest early, preparing for the next day’s Jinggang No. 1 Middle School Special Recruitment Exam.
——
Next day.
Jinggang No. 1 Middle School Battle Training Ground.
A row of four standard battle arenas, looking very well-maintained.
Scattered high school students sat on the spectator seats on both sides of the arenas.
Ran Cai Jiao was among them, apparently members of the second- and third-year school special battle team coming to observe.
Ge Bai didn’t arrive particularly early today, by the time she reached the training ground, the exam was about to start.
Just as she stepped into the training ground, she saw Fang Miao Wen waving at her from the crowd.
“Ge Bai, why are you so late, over here.”
Fang Miao Wen shook off a few male peacocks around her, happily rushing toward Ge Bai.
On the stands, a tall skinny boy next to Ran Cai Jiao turned his head, asking her bluntly, “Cai Jiao, who’s that girl who just arrived? I see your cousin is very familiar with her.”
This tall skinny boy was Chu Qiang, Ran Cai Jiao’s teammate, a Spirit Planter with decent combat strength.
Though overall strength was at the bottom of the team, he couldn’t help his good luck.
Two years ago, the Interstellar Alliance explicitly stipulated for intercollegiate leagues that school team battles must include Spirit Planters.
Purely by strength, Chu Qiang was a bit short of entering that year’s Jinggang No. 1 Middle School school special battle team.
But the other Spirit Planters in Jinggang No. 1 Middle School that year were even worse, so Chu Qiang, who contracted an Explosion Ball, was top among Spirit Planters.
Picking the tallest dwarf.
That’s how he entered Jinggang No. 1 Middle School’s school team that year, becoming Ran Cai Jiao’s teammate.
Of course, after two years of devilish training, his overall strength was incomparable to back then.
Ran Cai Jiao glanced at Chu Qiang, finding the guy particularly unpleasant today.
Mainly because the moment this kid arrived at the training ground, his eyes stuck to her cousin.
The scoundrel didn’t even hide his thoughts of coveting swan meat.
Had long wanted to snap at him, but lacked opportunity, now he delivered himself, Ran Cai Jiao didn’t hold back at all.
“You mean that girl in the white sports uniform?” She smiled meaningfully, asking despite knowing.
“Yeah yeah, that’s her.”
Chu Qiang had eyes only for Fang Miao Wen, not noticing anything off with his captain, answering quickly.
“Oh, Ge Bai.” Ran Cai Jiao’s smile turned a bit malicious, “She’s your tough rival, maybe next month when the big school team starting lineup system officially starts, you’ll have to give up your spot to her.”
“Huh?”
Chu Qiang froze upon hearing Ran Cai Jiao, forgetting the little beauty, slowly turning his head to her.
Awkwardly chuckled, his voice a bit dry.
“Captain, you’re joking, right.”
Ran Cai Jiao was delighted to see Chu Qiang’s cracked expression, contentedly shifting her gaze back to the venue, ignoring him.
In the venue.
Fang Miao Wen immediately hooked Ge Bai’s arm, dragging her to the sign-in desk, chattering while walking.
“I’ve checked it all, first round 16 matches, your upper half’s first four groups go first, then lower half’s first four groups, alternating like that.”
“You drew upper half second group yesterday, you’re up in the first round.”
“This round your opponent is Xi Chao, see, that boy in the brown jacket.”
Saying so, Fang Miao Wen pointed a direction for Ge Bai.
Ge Bai looked over, a tall burly slightly chubby boy in a brown jacket stood there.
He had already summoned his pet beast, a Fire Tail Wolf, obediently lying at his feet.
“Reliable info, he only contracted that one pet beast, that Fire Tail Wolf has mastered an Advanced Skill called Tail Sweep, just don’t know the proficiency.”
Ge Bai was also surprised, where did Fang Miao Wen get all this accurate info.
Actually, no need for Fang Miao Wen to say, when she just looked at the Fire Tail Wolf, she directly used Spiritual Sense to communicate with the System.
[Type: Fire Tail Wolf (Transcendence Race)]
[Spiritual Power Value: Mortal Spirit Realm Level Three (21.47/300)]
[Attribute: Fire Element]
[Skill: Wolf Claw (Beginner Skill) – Beginner. Skill description: Swing sharp claws, dealing physical damage to enemies.]
[Skill: Tail Sweep (Advanced Skill) – Beginner. Skill description: Wolf tail swings, releasing multiple fire attribute Spiritual Power attacks, dealing flame and Spiritual Power damage to enemies.]
Quite a gap.
Ge Bai glanced at this opponent, then looked away.
This Beast Tamer probably saw his Fire Tail Wolf awaken an Advanced Skill, so spent this time bitterly training Tail Sweep.
Result: Advanced Skill not practiced up, even basic Wolf Claw just Beginner, Spiritual Power Value not even Mortal Spirit Realm Level 3.
Not worth the loss.
Actually, Ge Bai forgot, these quasi-high schoolers standing here had just contracted pet beasts less than 1 month ago, all newbies.
Except for types like Fang Miao Wen and Long Jun Chi, who had families pick pet beasts from childhood, familiarizing and growing together ahead of time.
Or those with some lucky encounters.
Other average students, even with family wealth, contracting ordinary pet beast cubs, in one month raising from Mortal Spirit Realm Level 1 to Level 3 or 4 was already good.
This was why Jiang Yan dared challenge Ge Bai during the Final Exam.
Clearly Ge Bai was too abnormal, not everyone else too mediocre.
“Assemble!”
They hadn’t spoken two sentences when a thick male voice rang across the entire venue from the stage direction.
Students scattered around the battlefield subconsciously headed toward the stage.
The chattering lively venue gradually quieted, even the students on the stands sitting straighter.
“I’m Zheng Mingchun, the head coach leading this year’s Jinggang No. 1 Middle School school team.”
Coach Zheng Mingchun didn’t require students to form lines or stand neatly, once people gathered enough, he spoke directly.
Beside him stood the bright and beautiful Ping Ningyan, but no Principal Hu Shuo or second-year school team head coach He Boyu, behind him a row of 12 teachers in uniform.
Coach Zheng Mingchun had no intention of introducing others, going straight to it.
“Jinggang No. 1 Middle School Special Recruitment now begins, participating students go to their respective venues according to the screen above the arena.”
“Fail to enter the arena within 30 seconds of standby, automatic loss.”
He didn’t care if everyone was there, once time was up, directly announced battles begin.
Ping Ningyan smiled and glanced at Zheng Mingchun, helplessly shaking her head, this guy after so many years still had that stubborn stone temperament.
While the teachers behind Zheng Mingchun, three per group, headed to the four venues respectively.
“Bai Bai, you’re over there.” Fang Miao Wen pointed Ge Bai’s venue position, “Hurry over, I’m in the adjacent venue.”
Ge Bai nodded, giving Fang Miao Wen a slight smile.
“Thanks, Miao Wen.”
Fang Miao Wen smiled even sweeter, backing away while waving to Ge Bai.
“Do your best.”
Ge Bai smiled knowingly, by the time she reached Venue Two, the referee teacher was already in position.
One Chief Referee in the arena center, two Line Judges on left and right sides, three in triangular formation.
And the electronic screen above the arena clearly displayed:
‘First Round Second Match’
‘Ge Bai (Spirit Planter) VS Xi Chao (Beast Tamer)’
‘Battle Rules: Beast Tamer/Spirit Planter Battle, no limit on pet beast numbers.’
Jinggang No. 1 Middle School Special Recruitment Battle, officially begins!
