Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 21 Ding! A Disappointing Annihilation

The first wind blade was aimed at the porcupine's face, and it instinctively lowered its head and curled up tightly.

The body then rolls into a spherical shape, and the forward sprint also transforms into a spherical rolling motion.

"Well done!"

Jiang Yan roused himself and clenched his fist forcefully, as if trying to release the pent-up frustration that had just accumulated in his chest.

This porcupine was also carefully selected by him from the Spirit Beast Pavilion. Although it is not even a year old, it has already mastered the skill of porcupine charge.

Snap, snap, two wind blades struck the porcupine's spikes, while another wind blade grazed its body, which it narrowly avoided.

Spikes broke off and scattered on the ground, and the porcupine's forward momentum slowed considerably compared to its initial pace.

After preparing, Da Liu unleashed a barrage of wind blades.

When the third wind blade struck the porcupine's spikes, it completely shattered its charge form.

The porcupine was forced to release its body, but the entire arena was only 15 meters in diameter, and it had already lunged forward half the distance.

Having dodged the next wind blade, the porcupine gathered its spiritual power in its tail.

Its originally short tail stood up high, and the spikes covering the tail burst open, making the tail appear even more fluffy.

"That's it! Big Boss, use the tail needle!"

"Hmph."

After a moment's preparation, several sharp quills flew out from the porcupine's tail, shooting straight at the willow tree.

The wind blades that Da Liu had previously unleashed blocked half of the spikes in mid-air.

"Big willow, willow whip."

"Liu Gu"

The remaining seven or eight sharp thorns were about to approach the willow tree, but the large willow tree swung its whip and knocked them down one by one.

While Da Liu was dealing with the tail arrow, the porcupine took the opportunity to close in, and it looked like it was only a few steps away from Da Liu.

"Big spender, ram it!"

Jiang Yan stood at a distance, shouting hoarsely, his hands clenched tightly.

"Watch out, Gobai."

He Leyao, standing anxiously by the ring, called out a reminder, her fingertips turning white as she gripped the edge of the ring. A commotion arose from the crowd watching in the windows and corridors of the surrounding school buildings.

At the scene, only Da Liu and Ge Bai remained remarkably calm.

Da Liu immediately changed the way he circulated his spiritual energy, channeling it into the entire willow branch.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that four or five willow branches in each direction are shimmering with a spiritual light.

These willow branches are hidden among the many willow branches that are fluttering in the wind, ready to be pulled out at any time.

The porcupine charged into Willow's attack range.

With a whoosh, two willow branches attacked the porcupine beast from both sides, completely blocking its path.

The attack range and attack power of the willow whip are no less than those of the wind blade.

One whip will strike the porcupine's face, and another will knock it to the ground.

Without stopping, three more willow whips followed immediately, striking the porcupine beast from the left side, sending him flying out of the ring.

Jiang Yan stared blankly at the willow tree, a look of disbelief on his face.

It wasn't until the porcupine began to wail and howl that he remembered his pet.

"High roller!"

He rushed off the stage, went straight to the porcupine, picked him up, and poured the remaining half bottle of nutrient solution into his mouth.

The entire match only lasted about 5 minutes, which was less than the time Jiang Yan spent dawdling before going on stage.

But the entire match had the teachers and students watching on the edge of their seats, with discussions rising and falling.

Gobai didn't pay much attention to her surroundings; this victory was within her expectations.

She walked to the edge of the arena and looked down at the porcupine beast that was nestled in Jiang Yan's arms, drinking nutrient solution.

Public junior high schools are not professional battlegrounds, and unlike high schools, students don't often invite each other to battle with their pets, so the resources for healers are still somewhat limited.

If the pet is seriously injured, then there will be some trouble.

It seems the porcupine can still drink the nutrient solution, so there's not a big problem.

Ge Bai felt relieved and, with a thought, tried to put the big willow into his spiritual space.

"No, Gobai, I don't want to go back yet."

Having just won a match, the ancient weeping willow was particularly excited. Not only did its willow branches dance in the air, but several branches also quietly wrapped around Ge Bai's arm.

Seeing Da Liu's sticky and cuddly appearance, Ge Bai was helpless.

"Alright, then transform into your mini form, hold on tight to me, we're leaving."

This time, Da Liu didn't refuse and readily transformed into a 10-centimeter-tall mini Liu, jumping onto Ge Bai's shoulder.

Ge Bai flipped over and jumped off the stage, then grabbed He Leyao, who was rushing up excitedly, and walked out.

He Leyao was about to make a sarcastic remark about Jiang Yan when Ge Bai forcibly covered her mouth and dragged her away.

The defeat at the hands of Ge Bai and Chui Si Gu Liu was already a huge blow to Jiang Yan; there was no need to kick a man when he was down.

They had only taken a couple of steps.

Ge Bai then heard the mechanical voice of the system in his mind.

"System Task (Beginner): Please defeat (repel) spirit plants and spirit beasts below level one 100 times, and defeat (repel) spirit plants and spirit beasts above level one 10 times together with the contracted spirit plant."

"Task completion time limit: 15 days."

"Task completion status (can be checked at any time): Below Tier 1 (5/100), Above Tier 1 (0/10)."

"Punishment for mission failure: Annihilation."

"Tsk!"

Ge Bai sighed and checked the time. Indeed, a full 24 hours had passed since he made the contract with Da Liu.

But to notify newbies of a quest at this critical juncture, only to have it fail and result in certain death, is quite disappointing.

Gobai strongly suspects that the system was intentional.

What's going on with this mission? Defeat? Repel? There are already five progress points.

Thinking back carefully, from yesterday to today, Da Liu only fought against Xiao Hou Jin Rui and the porcupine.

Let me think... did we repel the little monkeys two or three times yesterday? I can't quite remember.

Today, I guess we've repelled the porcupine twice.

In a standard pet battle, Jiang Yan would have already lost the first time he fed the porcupine recovery nutrient solution.

We'll have to try it out to figure out the exact calculation method.

Time is running out, so it seems I'll have to visit the martial arts school on Shangwu Street today.

While pondering this mission, Ge Bai became somewhat distracted, which He Leyao noticed.

"What's wrong, Ge Bai? What are you thinking about? You still haven't told me what's going on with this ancient weeping willow."

He Leyao recovered from the joy of Ge Bai beating up Jiang Yan and was about to question her friend carefully.

Ge Bai also came to his senses.

"Le Yao, go back and hand in a leave slip for me. Give my schoolbag to Wu Dami and the others to take back with me. I'm not going back to the classroom."

Having decided to go to the martial arts school on Shangwu Street, Ge Bai didn't hesitate at all and immediately prepared to take action.

"Huh? Where are you going? How long are you taking leave? You have your final exams coming up soon."

Ge Bai gave selective answers.

"Just let me go straight to the final exam; I won't come before the exam."

"ah???"

He Leyao was startled by this way of asking for leave. Although the graduation exam was only about a week away, was it really appropriate to ask for leave like this?

Ge Bai looked at her solemnly and nodded.

"Ge Bai, are you alright? I heard you got into a fight with Jiang Yan? It was a pet battle!"

Wu Dami pulled Liu Hao and hurriedly ran this way.

Liu Hao was aware of Da Liu's situation and wasn't in a hurry. He was pulled forward by Wu Dami.

"Mmm, it's okay, don't worry."

Ge Bai was in a hurry to go to Shangwu Street and didn't bother to comfort Wu Dami.

He Leyao then chatted with Wu Dami with great interest.

"You're such a Monday morning quarterback! What could you possibly see coming this late? Let me tell you, it was amazing just now..."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Ge Bai winked at Liu Hao.

Liu Hao understood and gave her an OK sign.

Seeing this, Ge Bai felt relieved and separated from the others, walking along the path towards the back gate of the school.

Unbeknownst to her, the video of the battle between the spirit plant and the spirit beast had already been simultaneously transmitted to various forums, causing a huge uproar.
