Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 20 Crushing the Porcupine Beast

The ancient weeping willow has lush branches and drooping branches, with tender yellow leaves arranged neatly and in a staggered pattern on the branches.

The yellow-green willow branches look light and graceful yet full of vitality from a distance.

Indeed, there is some merit to including weeping willows in the category of ornamental plants.

Ge Bai smugly looked at his own Da Liu, captivated by her beauty, and secretly speculated about her.

This must not be known to Da Liu; if he finds out, he'll cause an uproar.

The onlookers on the surrounding teaching buildings were also in an uproar when they saw the prototype of Da Liu.

Aside from the praise, it was clear that there were many dissenting voices.

At this moment, Jiang Yan also summoned his pet beast, a porcupine, which appeared on the arena in its complete form.

The porcupine is only about half a meter long and looks much smaller than the big willow.

It has short, sturdy limbs, a round body, and is entirely pinkish-white.

Its back is covered with dense, black and white striped spines that extend all the way to its tail.

The spikes on the tail are short but densely packed, forming a small spiky ball at the tail tip.

The porcupine has two small but bright eyes on its little head, and a big, pink nose, making it look like a juvenile.

Adult porcupines have more spikes covering their backs and develop protective armor on their faces.

The porcupine was a little confused when it was first summoned. It looked around and then turned around to nuzzle Jiang Yan with its little head.

Jiang Yan squatted down and whispered something to the porcupine.

Ge Bai calmly observed, recalling the information about the porcupine beast, and stood beside Da Liu, giving the same instructions.

"DaLiu, this porcupine should be no more than a year old."

"The juvenile porcupine has a maximum of two skills. One is porcupine charge. It is not fast, but it will lower its head, curl up its body, cover itself with the spikes on its back, and finally crash into its opponent."

"Another skill is the tail needle, which uses a tail-whipping motion to fling out the spike at the end of the arrow."

Da Liu stared intently at the porcupine, his mind racing.

"It's alright, Ge Bai. I'll use the wind blade to intercept him first, and then use the willow whip when he gets close."

Ge Bai nodded. Da Liu doesn't have many attack methods at the moment, but they are enough to deal with a small porcupine.

"Don't worry, his spikes shouldn't be as hard as your willow branches."

"Be careful, the porcupine's weak points are its face, abdomen, and limbs."

The willow branches swayed, secretly gathering strength, pouring multiple streams of spiritual energy into them.

"Big spender! Charge! Smash that tree trunk!"

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yan shouted, and the porcupine grunted and charged straight at Da Liu.

The voice was still somewhat immature, but one could still glimpse the ferocity of a wild beast.

Da Liu showed no mercy, instantly unleashing two wind blades.

As if completely unprepared, the porcupine, which was moving straight ahead, was grazed on the forehead by the first wind blade.

He felt a sharp pain, his body froze, and then two wind blades struck him squarely on the pig's nose.

It tilted to the side and fell to the ground, its two front paws cradling its little head as it began to whine.

Even from more than ten meters away, Ge Bai could see tears welling up in the porcupine-like eyes.

Da Liu's combat awareness was far superior to that of his opponent.

Seeing the porcupine roll over, revealing its unsuspecting pink belly, he immediately unleashed two more wind blades.

A wind blade struck the porcupine's belly, sending it flying backward.

"Hmph, hah."

The porcupine cried out in pain, but immediately curled up its body, and the second wind blade struck the spikes on its back.

The spikes broke off, and several fell off.

The porcupine also rolled back to Jiang Yan's side.

"High roller!"

Jiang Yan rushed towards his pet beast. This should be his first actual battle after contracting a pet beast, but the process was completely beyond his expectations.

Jiang Yan, a top student, carefully examined the porcupine's injuries. Its nose was swollen, a bloodstain was clearly visible, and its abdomen and forehead were also obviously injured.

He quickly took out a bottle of recovery nutrition solution and fed the porcupine while cuddling it.

At this moment, Ge Bai placed one hand on Da Liu, signaling him to wait.

This is considered etiquette in combat; even if you want to beat someone when they're down, it's not appropriate to make a move at this time.

Now that we have the upper hand, we can be more relaxed.

When Da Liu swung her willow branches and unleashed a wind blade that struck the porcupine beast, a commotion erupted in the surrounding school buildings.

"What is that?! The ancient weeping willow has ranged attack skills?"

"This is a spiritual plant? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"That's right! I saw two ancient weeping willows at the entrance of the convention center last week, and they looked exactly like this one."

"You're kidding, right? Two wind blades were enough to stun the porcupine."

"That's not all! Did you see that? That wind blade even broke the spikes in half. That's terrifyingly strong!"

While many people were shocked, they raised their mobile devices, zoomed in to the highest resolution, and pointed the camera at Da Liu.

Meanwhile, some quick-thinking plant cultivators began searching for places where they could contract with the ancient weeping willow.

Some have already entered the forum and started live text and image updates.

"Gebai! You're amazing!"

At the edge of the ring, He Leyao was extremely excited, screaming and cheering for Ge Bai.

Jiang Yan's henchmen kept their mouths tightly shut and stared at the scene with tense faces.

The porcupine was still drinking the nutrient solution when Jiang Yan seemed to realize what was happening.

With an angry expression, Chao Gebai shouted, "Why can your spirit plant activate its skill? You're cheating!"

The sound was not quiet; the onlookers could hear it clearly. A faint sound was emitted.

Ge Bai was speechless. He rolled his eyes and took two steps forward.

"None of your business. Do I need to report to you what my spiritual plants can do?"

"Are you still going to fight or not? If not, get lost."

Da Liu stood behind Ge Bai, her willow branches infused with spiritual power, fluttering and floating.

The tips of the willow branches gleamed with a bright light, giving them a very imposing appearance.

Looking at the surrounding situation, Jiang Yan realized that he had just been blinded by anger.

But he was unwilling to give up, so he gritted his teeth and looked down at the porcupine.

"Hey, are you feeling better?"

"Let's do it again. This time, pay attention to your steps."

"You don't need to be particularly fast. Try your best to dodge the wind blades. If you really can't dodge them, curl up and use the spikes on your back to resist."

"Hmph!"

The porcupine, having just finished half a bottle of restorative nutrient solution, showed a noticeable improvement in its condition, with the bloodstains on its face fading considerably.

He shakily stood up, shook his body and wagged his tail, preparing for a second charge.

Seeing this, the people around gradually quieted down and watched intently.

Although there are one or two student-on-student matches every year around this time, the teachers don't stop them, as it's unlikely that anything serious will happen between juveniles.

But most of those were spirit beasts against spirit beasts; this is the first time in recent years that a spirit beast has faced a spirit plant.

Not to mention a spiritual plant like the willow tree, which is truly the first time everyone has ever seen one.

Ge Bai also retreated to Da Liu's side without saying much. Da Liu was in high spirits at the moment, so let him do as he pleased.

"Hmph!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the porcupine got ready and charged towards Da Liu with even greater caution.

This time, he lowered his head even further, trying to keep the spikes on his neck pointing forward.

"Liu Gu!"

Three shots.

The more Da Liu fought, the braver she became. She infused her willow branches with spiritual power, and three wind blades attacked the porcupine beast from different angles.

Sorry for the late update today, I'll update first thing tomorrow morning!
