Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 25: Chili Pepper and King Kong are a Perfect Match

After quickly finishing his braised pork trotter rice, Ge Bai scooped up Xiao Tao, placed her on his shoulder, and put her next to Da Liu.

He got up and walked towards "Hengran Martial Arts School".

As he was crossing the street, Ge Bai saw a burly, shirtless man walk out of the "Hengran Martial Arts School".

The big man was carrying more than a dozen wooden buckets in his hands.

Beside him followed a giant ape, much larger than himself, carrying a full wooden barrel in its arms, completely blocking his view.

Ge Bai couldn't quite make out what kind of creature it was, but it was probably some kind of pet beast like a black ape or a gorilla.

The two walked straight towards the restaurant owner's house.

"Boss lady, we've come to return the wooden buckets. We left them at your door. We still need these buckets of rice tonight, I'll come back for them later."

The giant man and the giant ape piled up wooden barrels like a small mountain in front of the restaurant.

Ge Bai's face darkened.

So the proprietress recommended this martial arts school because they order food from here?

She really wanted to ask: "Boss lady, is your recommendation truly based on conscience?"

But he was already standing at the entrance of Hengran Martial Arts School. After thinking for a moment, Ge Bai pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and stepped into the school.

Just take a look, it doesn't cost anything.

As you step through the gates of Hengran Martial Arts School, a series of clear wind chimes ring out.

Hmm? I don't think I bumped into the wind chimes when I pushed the door open.

Ge Bai was drawn by the sound of the wind chimes and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a lush cluster of double-flowered lily of the valley, standing on the counter with strings of milky-white buds swaying in the breeze.

"Hey! Anxin, stop slacking off! We have guests."

The sound of wind chimes is light and melodious, but the voice of this cluster of double-petaled lily of the valley shouting at its own plant master is anything but gentle.

"Ah, hello, welcome to Hengran Martial Arts School."

A slender young girl wearing black-rimmed glasses suddenly stood up from behind the counter and greeted Ge Bai politely.

Gobai looked at her, then at the lily of the valley.

She smiled shyly, touched the leaves of the orchid, and didn't explain anything.

Lan Lingcao continued her nagging, "Cheer up, Anxin. Keep it up!"

Ge Bai pretended not to hear Lan Lingcao's voice, and just looked at them, offering a polite compliment.

"The sound of the wind chimes from the orchid is very beautiful."

Da Liu, perched on Ge Bai's shoulder, muttered under his breath, "What's so pleasant about that hoarse voice?"

Ge Bai glanced down at him, signaling him to shut up. Luckily, Da Liu's voice was soft, and Lan Lingcao didn't hear it.

"Oh, thank you for your compliment."

The little girl came out from behind the counter.

"My name is An Xin, and I'm at the reception of Hengran Martial Arts School. Did you come to our school with a specific appointment, or are you just here to take a look?"

She was a little reserved, but you could tell the young woman was taking her front desk duties very seriously.

"I didn't make an appointment. I just heard someone recommend 'Hengran Martial Arts School' and thought it was pretty good, so I came to check it out."

"My main goal is to train my pets' combat skills."

Ge Bai's explanation was very brief.

"Then let me show you around our martial arts school."

An Xin took two more steps forward and guided Ge Bai toward the inner door on the left.

Ge Bai readily agreed and followed along. Only after entering the martial arts hall did he realize that it actually occupied quite a large area.

"On the left is our physical training room, and on the right is the spirit beast physical indicator testing area."

"Our martial arts school is an alliance-certified testing center for basic qualifications of giant ape-like spirit beasts."

An Xin looked very proud as she spoke.

Sure enough, this is a martial arts school that mainly caters to giant ape-like spirit beasts.

Ge Bai recalled the skills he had learned related to giant ape-like spirit beasts, most of which focused on strength and explosive power, and seemed not to be particularly compatible with Da Liu.

Thinking about it, she lost interest, but it wasn't appropriate for her to turn around and leave now.

In addition, she could clearly sense that Da Liu and Xiao Tao were both very interested, so she followed them forward.

"This level mainly focuses on self-training."

An Xin led Ge Bai to the second floor by elevator. As soon as they got off the elevator, they could see three battlefields neatly arranged in the open space.

One of the venues was even designed in the style of a gladiator cage.

"This is the martial arts gym's combat area."

Gobai glanced at the arena and could see four or five pairs of giant apes fighting each other.

She had just mentioned that the martial arts school had a high ceiling, but looking at these giant apes, she finally understood why the Hengran Martial Arts School had such a high ceiling.

"So you're the martial arts school owner's daughter?"

Ge Bai remembered what the landlady had said and suddenly became curious, so without thinking too much, he asked An Xin a question.

An Xin was taken aback, then quickly shook her head and waved her hands.

"No, no, no, I'm not. I'm here at the martial arts gym for a part-time job."

As An Xin spoke, she searched for something in the venue.

"Look."

She pointed to the area on the far left of Ge Bai.

"That girl in the red tracksuit is our martial arts school owner's daughter, her name is Ran Caijiao, and she's very skilled."

It sounds like a really hot and exciting name.

Ge Bai looked in the direction An Xin was pointing and saw a girl in red standing with her hands on her hips, lecturing two burly men in white training uniforms.

Judging from her back, the girl was only about 160cm tall, while the two 180cm tall men were being scolded by her and had their heads bowed.

It was just a bit far away, so I couldn't quite hear what they were saying.

"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling."

The sound of the bellflower was exceptionally penetrating, and only then did Ge Bai notice that the training ground on the second floor was open, and the entrance to the first floor could be seen from the railing just two steps forward.

An Xin also heard the sound of the bellflowers and became a little anxious. It meant that another guest had arrived at the door, but she didn't want to leave Ge Bai alone here at this time.

Ge Bai understood.

"You go ahead and do your work, I'll just wander around by myself, it's fine."

"Oh, okay, thank you. Please feel free to look around. Just call me anytime if you need anything."

An Xin gave Ge Bai an apologetic smile, then turned and quickly went downstairs.

Ge Bai looked around and then walked towards the area where the Burning Colored Pepper was.

She was still lecturing him.

"What kind of crap is that Vajra Arm you've trained! Is it like an old lady touching her face? It has no speed and no strength."

"And you too, the giant ape isn't a rock. Why insist on carrying it when you can hide? To show off your manly spirit?"

"There are no stupid pets, only stupid beast tamers!"

Ge Bai stood behind Ran Caijiao, listening with great interest.

The daughter of this martial arts school owner also serves as a daily instructor at the school.

The two burly men who were being scolded didn't dare to utter a sound.

Only when Ge Bai got closer did he realize that both of their pet animals were apes.

One was a black-haired, iron-armed Vajra, and the other was a ringed fox-tailed ape, both transformed into miniature forms about half the height of a person, squatting beside the two.

The pet and the beast tamer have exactly the same movements and expressions.

The long-tailed ape seemed more lively; even with its head down, its eyes couldn't hide their darting around. When it saw Ge Bai approaching, it quietly looked up to examine him.

At this moment, Ran Caijiao also noticed someone behind her, turned around and saw Ge Bai, and was also stunned.

Ge Bai was almost a head taller than Ran Caijiao. She turned around and looked up at Ge Bai, her voice crisp and clear.

"Are you a new customer at the martial arts gym? Why didn't Anxin show you around?"

"She's a bit busy right now, I'll just wander around."

"You look kind of familiar."

Ran Caijiao looked Ge Bai up and down, and when she saw the ancient willow tree hanging on Ge Bai's shoulder, she suddenly realized what was happening, clenched her right fist, and slammed it into her left palm.

"Oh my! You're the woman in that video!"

"That thing on your shoulder must be the ancient willow tree that can unleash wind blades."

What? Ge Bai was completely dumbfounded.

Ran Caijiao didn't bother to scold the two big men anymore. He waved his hand and told them to find a place to spar on their own.

Turning around, she enthusiastically pulled Ge Bai to watch the forum video again. Only then did Ge Bai realize that he and Da Liu seemed to have become popular.

He was frowning, pondering what to do next.

"I've never seen a spirit plant master like you before. Let's have a pet battle!"

The young girl directly extended an invitation to Ge Baifa.
