Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 24 The Boss Lady's Choice: Hengran Martial Arts School

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Director Zheng stood up straight.

Seeing this, Principal Wu quickly stood up, forcing a smile, and said, "Director Zheng, what about the other people we were talking about..."

Principal Wu deliberately left his sentence unfinished.

Director Zheng looked at him seriously, "We can do it your way. First, register, and we will receive the relevant files. Their spiritual awareness development level only needs to reach 10% during the special recruitment on-site test."

"Thank you so much, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this promise, Principal Wu happily bypassed Lao Qian and warmly greeted Director Zheng as they walked out.

Old Qian followed behind, smiling obsequiously, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, I took precautions when I first approached Ge Bai and didn't start yelling at him in the office, otherwise things would have looked even worse now.

Ge Bai was completely unaware of all that was happening at the school.

She probably never imagined that the registration process, which had been giving her a headache, would be so easily resolved while she was beating up Jiang Yanhao, the boar beast.

Right now, Ge Bai was rushing to the bus stop, his mind filled with the new system tasks.

It took two buses to finally arrive at Shangwu Street.

As soon as I got off the bus, I could clearly feel the strong atmosphere of the martial arts school.

Behind the bus stop, a GG sign displays a huge image of a silver-striped leopard, with the same-colored GG phrase: "Shangtai Martial Arts School, Inheriting Martial Virtue."

It seems that this is a martial arts school that mainly trains leopard-type spirit beasts.

After passing the bus stop, you can see the tall, antique-style stone archway in just a few steps.

The three large characters "Shangwu Street" are inlaid with obsidian on a white jade slab and hung on the top of the archway, making them particularly eye-catching.

Walking into Shangwu Street, you can see that the street is more than two meters wide and straight, with the ground paved entirely with bluestone slabs.

The streets and alleys are lined with tall buildings and shops, with signs for martial arts schools such as "Yongyue", "Wuyuan", "Qiandao", "Yunhe", and "Jingang" densely packed together.

Ge Bai didn't know much about martial arts schools before. He only knew that different martial arts schools mainly catered to different kinds of spirit beasts, and some martial arts schools were even more specialized, focusing on training certain skills for certain spirit beasts.

I was too naive. Once I stepped into Shangwu Street, Ge Bai really didn't know where to go.

"Bye-bye, it's so lively here!"

At this moment, Da Liu stood on Ge Bai's shoulder, looking around. Ling Zhi, who had only come out of the botanical garden two days ago, had never seen such streets before, and felt that her eyes were not enough to take it all in.

It was already past 11 a.m., and through the windows of various martial arts schools, one could see that training was in full swing inside many of them.

The small restaurants nestled among the martial arts schools were also bustling with people.

Let's eat something first.

Ge Bai patted his stomach, found a small shop that looked clean, and sat down in a spot with a good view.

"Boss lady, what's your signboard?"

"Little girl, you're here for dinner? Why don't you try our braised pork knuckle rice in a wooden bucket? It's freshly braised pork knuckle, and it smells delicious!"

The proprietress was very welcoming, and Ge Bai readily paid the money.

After taking care of her own lunch, she didn't forget to open a bottle of nutrient solution for Da Liu.

Da Liu didn't stand on ceremony and drank the nutrient solution in one go.

While rummaging through his bag, Ge Bai also found half a bottle of nutrient solution for young plants. Oh dear, he hadn't called Xiao Tao out for some fresh air yet today.

But Ge Bai would never admit that he had forgotten about Xiao Tao all day.

Silently, he summoned Little Peach.

"Peach~"

The little peach, solidified in his palm, was probably well-rested and unusually active, bouncing around in Ge Bai's palm, its little leaves fluttering.

Da Liu stood on Ge Bai's shoulder. When Xiao Tao came out, he didn't move. He just stretched out his willow branches and tapped Xiao Tao's pink and tender little head.

Xiao Tao also affectionately rubbed against Da Liu's willow branches.

Aunt Ge Bai smiled as she looked at the two little ones, and then slipped the half-bottle of nutrient solution that Xiao Tao had left over from yesterday into her arms.

"Hold on tight, drink slowly."

"Peach blossoms, peach blossoms."

Xiao Tao, clutching the nutrient solution, hopped from Ge Bai's hands onto the table and pressed herself against the window, gazing at the scenery outside.

After taking care of the two, Ge Bai waited for the proprietress to make the rice bowl while continuing to look around at the martial arts schools through the shop's floor-to-ceiling windows.

The stall owner behind the counter saw that Ge Bai was clean and neat, still wearing his school uniform, and couldn't help but ask him a few more questions.

"Young lady, are you here looking for a martial arts school to train with?"

When Ge Bai heard the landlady's question, he politely turned around and nodded.

"Yes, but this is my first time here, and I don't know which martial arts school is more reliable."

"Oh, you've come to the right place."

It seems the proprietress is a kind-hearted person.

"I've lived on this street for over 30 years and run this restaurant for over a decade. I know better than anyone which martial arts school is reliable."

Ge Bai subconsciously glanced at the proprietress's face. He could see fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but she looked to be only in her early forties.

Noticing Ge Bai's questioning gaze, the proprietress smiled brightly.

"Don't believe me? This restaurant used to be owned by my dad. I've been playing on this street since I was a kid."

After hearing the proprietress's explanation, Ge Bai quickly adjusted his expression and blinked.

"Kao Ya, take the food to the guests."

"Hey!"

Then, a platypus wearing a blue floral apron waddled out from behind the stall, lifting the curtain in its characteristic duck-like gait.

He held a plate of rice with toppings high above his head with his right hand and steadily delivered it to Ge Bai.

After setting out the plates, he opened his left palm and offered a pair of disposable chopsticks.

Seeing the platypus working so seriously, Ge Bai couldn't resist taking the opportunity to touch the tuft of hair sticking up on the back of its head.

Haha, not bad! Ge Bai, who was just being impulsive, is very happy to have succeeded.

"Hey!"

The platypus held down the ahoge with one hand, and Chongge protested rather unwillingly.

"Hey, that girl likes you, it's not like your ahoge will fall out if she touches it."

The proprietress leaned on the counter, resting her head on her hands, and looked over with a smile.

Seeing that the platypus was unhappy, Gobai gave an apologetic smile.

The platypus, with its beak tucked in, turned around and swayed back to the back of the stall.

"This is my pet animal; it's always been helping me at the shop."

As the platypus passed by the proprietress, she gave it another good rub on its head.

"Yah! Yah!" This time it was an even louder protest, but it was immediately drowned out by the proprietress's giggles.

It seems that the root of their dissatisfaction lies here.

After bullying her pet beast, the proprietress didn't forget about the martial arts school she had just talked about with Ge Bai.

"Little girl, look, that 'Hengran Martial Arts School' right across the street is pretty good."

"Their business has been around for decades. The martial arts school owner's daughter should be about your age; she's a very cute little girl."

Suddenly being praised as cute, Ge Bai blushed a little, smiled at the proprietress, and then lowered his head to shovel rice into his mouth.

This pig's trotter is really delicious!

While eating, Ge Bai didn't forget to look up and examine the "Hengran Martial Arts School".

The signboard wasn't the most impressive, but the entrance was very clean, and you could see that the two-story martial arts gym had a much higher ceiling than other gyms.

Through the window, one could vaguely see a row of four or five burly men vigorously lifting weights.

A martial arts school that focuses on strength? Ge Bai hesitated for a moment, but since the proprietress had recommended it, she decided to check it out.

"Thank you, boss lady. I'll be there in a bit."

The chapters these past two days have been relatively gentle, and the pace might be a bit slow, but I think the plot development still needs careful writing. Even a platypus that only appears once or twice should be vividly portrayed. I'll pay attention to the pacing; there will be a small fight in this martial arts gym in a couple of days!
