Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 16 I want them all!

After practicing for another half hour, Jin Rui collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

Liu Hao walked over, picked up Jin Rui, fed him some nutrient solution, and then put him back into his spiritual space.

Da Liu was in good condition, but it was getting dark, so it seemed that today's training would have to end here.

Ge Bai also called Da Liu and Xiao Tao back to the spiritual space, and made sure to tighten the cap on the nutrient solution that Xiao Tao had been sipping for half the afternoon but hadn't finished drinking.

The two then headed towards the welfare home.

Solo skill training is less efficient than partner training. Ge Bai glanced at the spirit plant cultivation chart and clearly noticed that the Wind Blade skill proficiency increased extremely quickly in the final partner training stage.

At this point, the skills are: [Willow Whip - Proficient (21/200); Wind Blade - Proficient (119/200)].

Jinrui's physical strength and energy are far inferior to Daliu's, so they still need to find Daliu a sparring partner.

As he walked, Ge Bai made plans in his mind.

Plant training halls are rare, but beast training halls are plentiful.

Ge Bai plans to go to Shangwu Street, where martial arts schools gather, after school tomorrow.

Yes, the spiritual awareness development test and affinity attribute test are both scheduled for the weekend, so these junior high students will have to go to school as usual tomorrow.

There is less than a month left until the end of the interstellar compulsory education.

Starting tomorrow, schools will arrange compulsory education graduation exams, help students fill out application forms, prepare for special admissions registration, and conduct student placement.

Ge Bai had gone through that process in his mind and knew it would be fraught with trouble.

Let's take a step by step.

She clenched her fists so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails digging into her flesh.

"I want it all: Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 High School, scholarships, and special admission!"

-

The next day, Ge Bai, Wu Dami, and Liu Hao went out together as usual.

They both attend public junior high schools in Chongming District, but they have never been in the same class.

"Gebai! I've missed you so much!"

A slightly chubby girl with short hair waved happily at Ge Bai as she walked into the classroom.

This is He Leyao, Ge Bai's deskmate for three years in junior high school. Her grades were average, but she had a very cheerful personality.

"I've heard that your spiritual awareness development is close to 10%! That's truly amazing!"

As soon as Ge Bai walked to the desk, He Leyao quickly took her schoolbag and stuffed it into the desk drawer.

They kept talking to her.

"Let me tell you, Jiang Yan from the next class is so jealous of your level of spiritual development that his eyes are practically red."

Throughout his three years of junior high school, Ge Bai achieved excellent grades, ranking among the top students in his grade.

Jiang Yan from the next class is the same.

Unlike Ge Bai, who came from an orphanage, he came from a very wealthy family and was an arrogant yet exceptionally hardworking young master.

Unfortunately, he was outshone by Ge Bai in every way.

For the past three years, Jiang Yan has been unable to outperform Ge Bai in exams or in fights.

His attempt to flaunt his wealth had no effect; Ge Bai didn't even give him a second glance.

Rumor has it that Jiang Yan confessed his feelings to Ge Bai, but was completely ignored. From then on, the rich young master turned to the dark side, targeting Ge Bai at every turn and always regarding her as a formidable rival.

Of course, He Leyao had confirmed the authenticity of this gossip with Ge Bai, who simply rolled his eyes at her.

Seeing He Leyao's gloating expression, Ge Bai couldn't help but interject.

"Alright, there are plenty of people in the city with high levels of spiritual development, it's not that exaggerated."

"How many junior high schools are there in the whole city? How many students are there? Our school probably only has two or three!"

Ge Bai shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to her.

He Leyao leaned closer, carefully observing Ge Bai's expression, and said cautiously.

"They also said that it's a pity that you don't have affinity with spirit beasts, so you can only become a spirit plant master."

After speaking, He Leyao paused, and seeing that Ge Bai didn't react, she started rummaging through her schoolbag and drawers, packing the things she needed for class.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, slapped her thigh, and deliberately changed the subject.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. What's wrong with spiritual plants?"

"My dad, my mom, and I—our whole family are plant practitioners."

"Why don't we get some beautiful ornamental plants and use them for stage design or something? That would be great! We could make a lot of money that way."

"Several of the rising stars in the industry recently are actually plant cultivators, who started from stage design and minor roles!"

This has always been He Leyao's dream. She has always loved following celebrities and has done in-depth research in this area.

What He Leyao said is indeed a good choice for many spiritual plant practitioners.

Although technology is already very advanced and special effects are realistic, the more advanced the technology, the more people prefer things that are real.

Some plant growers have seized this opportunity, contracting and cultivating ornamental plants, participating in film and television set design, and providing dazzling background effects on stage and in large-scale events, making a fortune.

Now, even minor actors who play minor roles are given priority if they own ornamental spiritual plants.

Actors alone are not enough; spiritual plants are also needed to assist, which is no easy feat.

As a girl who loves following celebrities, this is a dream that He Leyao has been pondering for many years.

The two had a good relationship, and she knew that Ge Bai wanted to become a beast tamer.

Over the years, she had witnessed all the effort Ge Bai had put into learning about different types of spirit beasts, methods of taming them, and meditation cultivation.

Seeing Ge Bai's dream shattered, she felt truly heartbroken.

Today, this wasn't just a deliberate attempt to crack jokes and put on a lighthearted act to make Ge Bai happy.

She was also genuinely willing to share half of her dream with Ge Bai.

Ge Bai could easily see through He Leyao's antics, and he was deeply moved.

He deliberately raised his chin, looked at He Leyao with an arrogant expression, and said in a pretentious tone.

"Hmph~ I don't want to go chasing stars with you. Spirit plant masters can be amazing too, you know!"

As he spoke, he slapped He Leyao's other thigh.

He Leyao was startled by the slap and couldn't help but retaliate with a grimace. The two then started laughing and joking around.

After a while, He Leyao seemed to remember and asked, "You contracted a spirit plant? What kind? A support-type spirit plant? A Devil Vine or a Blazing Stalk?"

Ge Bai shook his head.

"It is an ancient weeping willow."

He Leyao looked constipated after hearing those words.

Just as Ge Bai was about to explain things to her in detail, he saw the homeroom teacher, Old Qian, saunter into the classroom carrying a water cup and a stack of blank booklets.

The previously noisy classroom instantly became much quieter.

Old Qian put his water cup and booklet on the lectern, picked up his pointer and tapped the blackboard, and everyone quieted down on their own.

Ahem, as always, Old Qian clears his throat before speaking.

"Last weekend, the testing center has already reported the results of the students' spiritual awareness development and affinity tests to the school."

"Overall, the students in our class did quite well."

"All 55 students in the class have achieved a spiritual awareness development level of over 2%, with 21 students reaching 5%. All students' affinity with spirit beasts or spirit plants is above the standard level. This achievement is the best in the entire school!"

Wow! Applause and cheers erupted in the classroom.

Old Qian smiled and pursed his lips, letting everyone cheer for a few seconds before stretching out his hands and pressing them down to signal for quiet.

"And there's more good news!"

"Our classmate Ge Bai has a spiritual awareness development level of nearly 10%, ranking first in the whole school and also ranking among the top 50 of all students who participated in the city-wide test."

"Let us congratulate Ge Bai on bringing honor to the school."

Although quite a few students have heard the news in the past two days, everyone's attention is still focused on Ge Bai.

Some were curious, some were jealous, some pitied, and some were disdainful.

However, the applause was still very enthusiastic, because students would never miss an opportunity to make noise.
