Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 76 Two Spiritual Plants and Eight Hundred Clever Ideas [Part Two]

With no way back, the only option is to move forward.

This logic applies everywhere.

Thanks to Da Liu's careful handling, the little mechanical mouse wasn't a particularly big threat. Even if it got close, the damage from a bite of bark was still bearable for Da Liu.

Chiyo wasn't just for show; she wouldn't wait for the little mechanical mouse to have a second chance to bite into Daiyanagi before teleporting her away immediately.

To avoid the willow whip coming into contact with the small mechanical mice as much as possible, Ooyuki would even deliberately let a few get close, and then, after Chiyo moved them to a more distant area, he would cleanly and efficiently eliminate them with a single wind blade.

Ge Bai watched Da Liu's little scheme and wanted to laugh, but he didn't expose him. He knew that cooperating with Chiyo, even if it was just one-sided cooperation, was still progress.

Progress is a good thing. We can't push our children too hard; we have to take it slowly.

Meanwhile, seeing Da Liu struggling to maneuver after being put on the defensive, Ge Bai felt helpless.

She thought to herself, "If only Da Liu had just used his wind blades to eliminate these little mechanical mice outside the safe zone earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble now."

With the wind blades and willow whips combined, it wasn't long before only 5 of the first wave of mechanical mice rushing towards the willow tree remained.

Seeing that the small mechanical rats could no longer pose a threat to Da Liu, Ge Bai stopped paying attention to Da Liu and instead focused his attention on the mechanical rats and the beast tamer Zhao Hui on the other side of the arena.

Unlike Ge Bai, who had no detailed knowledge of the mechanical pet circle and had never heard of Zhao Hui and his mechanical pet rat, Ge Bai had no idea that Zhao Hui was a mechanical pet.

Zhao Hui had learned about Ge Bai before going on stage. This plant master had entered the preliminary rounds in one battle, not only by contracting a wild weeping willow with considerable combat power, but also by contracting a spatial plant.

Ge Bai has been making headlines these past few days, so Zhao Hui can't help but pay attention.

Today, as soon as he saw that his opponent was Ge Bai, he started to plan his strategy. In his opinion, he had a great chance of winning.

So Zhao Hui wasn't in a hurry when he first came on stage.

He originally intended to use this wave of differentiated mechanical rats to force out Deng Gebai and his group's large-scale spatial skills, but it looked like this wave of mechanical rats was about to be wiped out.

Ge Bai and the others remained lukewarm, and Zhao Hui was getting impatient.

Snapped.

He stood behind the mechanical mouse and snapped his fingers.

Upon hearing the snap of his fingers, the mechanical mouse reacted quickly; this was the attack signal that he and the Beastmaster had agreed upon long ago.

Suddenly, the mechanical mouse's tail lashed out at the arena floor, and its sapphire blue eyes flashed brightly.

It's about to move.

"Get ready, lightning is coming."

Ge Bai narrowed his eyes and whispered to Chiyo.

"La!"

Chiyo shook her flower sword, preparing to make her move.

While Da Liu and the little mechanical mouse were entangled, Ge Bai had already explained her guesses to Chiyo in detail and arranged two or three ways to deal with it. Which one to use was up to Chiyo.

Gobai released his grip, and Chiyo used a spatial teleportation to appear in mid-air, far away from Daiyu and the mechanical rat, forming a triangular point.

That location is absolutely safe; no matter how much lightning is drawn, it will be far away from her.

Chiyo, who was looking down over the entire field, had a much better view than Kabai, who was standing at the back.

She would glance at the mechanical mouse itself for a while, then at the three small mechanical mice surrounding Da Liu.

Yes, in just a short while, Da Liu took care of two more.

Zhao Hui also noticed Chiyo floating in the air, frowned slightly, but only glanced at her twice before turning his gaze back to Oyanagi.

In his mind, one must eat one bite at a time and deal with opponents one by one. He would first deal with the willow tree in front of him, as this spatial spiritual plant was nothing to fear.

He had great confidence in the mechanical mice that he had personally modified and trained.

The light in the mechanical mouse's sapphire blue eyes reached its peak, and a silver lightning bolt condensed in the sky. One of the three small mechanical mice raised its tail slightly, and the sound of thunder seemed to emanate from the surrounding spiritual energy.

"Chiyo."

Ge Bai used her spiritual sense to remind her. Although she could tell which little mechanical mouse had attracted the lightning, she didn't give her detailed instructions, believing that Chiyo could figure it out as well.

It is necessary to train Ooyagi and Chiyo to have better control over the situation.

"Understood!" Chiyo replied.

You could tell from his tone that he was full of confidence.

Ge Bai was relieved. She had made all the necessary arrangements, and the second half of the duel would be left to Da Liu and Chiyo.

Big Willow remained in the same spot, whipping its whip to kill another small mechanical mouse, leaving two remaining.

At this moment, he also noticed that one of the two mechanical mice was a bit off; its spiritual energy was too dense, and it was even emitting faint thunderous sounds.

He recalled the lightning-attracting skill that Ge Bai had briefly mentioned at the beginning of the competition, and felt slightly uneasy.

But Da Liu also noticed that Chiyo had already appeared in mid-air, seemingly ready to attack at any moment. Furthermore, since Kabai remained silent, Da Liu, after a moment's thought, chose to trust his teammate.

After all, it would be better for him to swing his willow whip a couple more times and wait for Chiyo to teleport away than to fumble backwards at this moment.

"Chiyo?"

Oyagi still managed to send a message to Chiyo when he had a spare moment.

Chiyo, who was in mid-air, had already decided on her tactics. As a contracted spirit plant of Ge Bai, she and Da Liu could communicate telepathically, and she had received Da Liu's telepathic message. However, she deliberately did not tell Da Liu what to do next.

She was prepared to end the battle in one strike, and if that didn't work, she would have Da Liu fill in.

Seeing Chiyo trying to be clever, Kaho disapproved of her behavior, but she didn't say anything at the moment. She just raised her eyebrows slightly and noted it down.

This little orchid is a bit arrogant; I'll have to teach it a lesson when we get back.

Thunder roared, and lightning had already formed high in the sky.

Zhao Hui clenched his fists and stared in the direction of Da Liu.

The mechanical mouse then split into six or seven smaller mechanical mice, which, together with the two remaining smaller mechanical mice from the previous batch, tightly entangled Da Liu.

A swarm of small mechanical mice suddenly appeared, and Da Liu couldn't even tell which one was the main one that had just been found to attract the lightning.

Even if he was consciously prepared to prioritize taking care of that one, there was nothing he could do.

Chiyo, with her better field of vision, kept a closer eye on the little mechanical mouse than Dairyu. As soon as the lightning formed, she used spatial teleportation on it.

Skills that have been circulating spiritual energy and brewing for a long time are almost instantaneous, much faster than lightning.

The lightning in mid-air also changed direction, striking directly at the mechanical mouse.

The little mechanical mouse appeared silently and out of thin air next to the main mechanical mouse.

Chiyo did put some thought into choosing the landing point for her spatial teleportation.

Instead of carelessly tossing the little mechanical mouse in front of it, it was placed in its blind spot.

The mechanical mouse, which was more than half a meter long, was indeed caught off guard, but the lightning that suddenly turned and struck him directly was unmistakable.

"run!"

Zhao Hui, who was keeping a close eye on Da Liu, immediately noticed that one of the mechanical mice was missing and felt a sense of foreboding.

When he saw the little mechanical mouse appear next to his pet, he only had time to utter one word.

Lightning strikes incredibly fast, arriving in an instant. The mechanical mouse only had time to move half a step before being struck squarely by the lightning it had attracted.

"Tsk tsk"

Ge Bai clicked his tongue twice. It seemed that the lightning attracted by the mechanical mouse was real lightning, the kind that didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Although the mechanical rat is a lightning-attribute pet, its resistance to lightning is not very good. This lightning strike was his full-force attack, and now that it has hit him, it is going to be quite painful for him.

The spectators in the stands, who had just witnessed this scene, were stunned.

Is this even possible?

I've seen pets suffer skill backlash in battles, but I've never seen one be stunned by its own skill so directly.

"It doesn't seem like they used any particularly advanced skills, yet they won just like that?"

"Ge Bai's training level for pets is very high. These two spiritual plants might not have been able to win so well in the hands of other spiritual plant masters."

"How low are you? This is combat awareness. Both of these spiritual plants have excellent combat awareness! Combat awareness and the ability to seize opportunities are no less important than skill proficiency or pet level. It's just that they are rarely seen in low-level arena matches."

After a moment of stunned silence, the audience erupted in another round of heated discussion.

The bald, burly man who had just been complaining about Ge Bai not bothering to find out about Zhao Hui now silently wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead and uttered a fair remark.

"If Zhao Hui can't figure out a way to counter this move in the next match, his later matches will be very difficult."

His friend sitting next to him shook his head. Although they supported Zhao Hui, they had to tell the truth.

"This Ge Bai is something else. Are you sure she really didn't know about Zhao Hui and the mechanical rat's attack methods beforehand?"

"How would I know!"

The bald, burly man rolled his eyes.

Indeed, Zhao Hui's mechanical rat had developed the skills of attracting lightning and differentiation at the low stage of the Transcendent Realm, which was a sign of exceptional talent and a promising future.

But the future is the future. Right now, the mechanical mouse's spiritual power level and skill proficiency are not high. The reason it has been able to play so smoothly in previous matches is because of its superior playing style.

Now that this attack method of spreading clones and attracting lightning has been cracked, it will be difficult for Zhao Hui to deal with the opponents who follow suit.

After all, currently, only one small mechanical mouse can be used as a target to detonate a mine at a time. If Ge Bai and Chiyo can clearly distinguish which small mechanical mouse is the target, it is not difficult for others to see it as well.

Even if other beast tamers don't have spatial skills, finding the lightning-attracting mechanical rat and knocking it away shouldn't be difficult.

Ge Bai didn't expect that this match would set a good example for the later contestants, causing Zhao Hui to be eliminated from the preliminary rounds of the tournament that year.

On the field, Zhao Hui watched as the mechanical mouse, struck down by lightning and lying on its side smoking on the ground, barely resisted the urge to rush over and shout that it had to surrender.

Unwilling to give up, it looked up at Da Liu, hoping that the little mechanical mouse could take care of Da Liu. That way, even if it lost in the end, it wouldn't be a terrible defeat.

However, the moment he looked up, he saw a wall of wind, carrying a despairing force, howling and crushing across the arena. Wherever the wind wall passed, the little mechanical mice were torn to pieces, and the air was filled with the debris of mechanical fragments.

Da Liu finally regained his senses, placed the group of little mechanical mice close by, prepared a wind-woven net, and took them all away.

It’s over.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Feng collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

Seeing that the Beastmaster hadn't surrendered, his mechanical mouse knew the match wasn't over and was struggling to get up.

Chiyo, who was in mid-air, watched the mechanical mouse preparing to get up and felt a surge of annoyance. She had no choice but to send a telepathic message to Ooyagi: "Prepare the Storm Willow Blade Hammer, just like in the last match."

Having just finished the entire match and unleashed a full-force Wind Weaving Domain attack, Da Liu was somewhat exhausted, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

Just as Chiyo was about to teleport Ooyagi to the mechanical mouse to deliver the final blow.

Zhao Hui managed to utter, "I admit defeat."

Chiyo and Oyagi both breathed a sigh of relief.

The former thought, "Great! In this match, she, Chiyo Haruka Ran, delivered a decisive blow, turning the tide of the battle and earning the MVP title!"

The latter thought, "Finally finished! I'm exhausted. If I had to fight another Storm Willow Blade Hammer, it would have been fatal. I don't want to fight mice anymore—real mice, fake mice, mechanical mice, electric mice… I don't want to see any kind of mouse again!"

Ge Bai frowned. What kind of rubbish was this? Both of them need to practice more when they get back!

After the referee entered the arena and announced that Ge Bai was the winner, Da Liu immediately transformed back into his miniature form, pounced on Ge Bai and clung to him, waiting for Ge Bai to take him to the arena's healer for a healing spell to replenish his spiritual energy.

Chiyo, however, was reluctant to leave the field and lingered in mid-air, preparing to tour the arena.

Ge Bai didn't indulge her at all. He immediately used his spiritual sense to forcibly recall Chiyo back into his spiritual space.

"Ah! Gobai! You can't do this. I just won such a clean victory, aren't you going to praise me?"

Chiyo, who had been taken back into her spiritual space, kept chattering and shouting.

"You should reflect on your performance and see what went wrong with this game."

Ge Bai's tone was serious.

Seeing that Ge Bai seemed genuinely angry, Chiyo immediately became obedient.

A wise woman is like Junlan Hua; Chiyo wouldn't be so oblivious as to defy the situation and risk getting herself into trouble.

Ugh, it's so annoying. Why do I have to reflect on everything after every match? Isn't winning enough?

Chiyo continued to shout in her heart.

-

Since neither Da Liu nor Chiyo were injured, Ge Bai did not stay by the mechanical rat's side like Zhao Hui, waiting for the healer to bring in a stretcher.

She carried Da Liu back to the waiting area and went straight to the healers' rest area, asking them to give Da Liu a healing spell to restore his spiritual power.

This is not a big deal, and it's already stated in the rules of the tournament.

A blonde, blue-eyed beauty summoned her pet beast, a pale pink, translucent peach blossom jellyfish, which appeared above the summoning circle.

Ge Bai looked on with great surprise, for she remembered that the peach blossom jellyfish was a pet primarily used for its poison.

"Your freshwater jellyfish can even perform healing magic?"

Before the blonde, blue-eyed beauty could even speak, the therapists sitting next to her all covered their mouths and laughed.

"Rika, just accept your fate."

"How about I make you a name tag to wear around your neck? It can say, 'My pet, the Peach Blossom Jellyfish, is a true healer!'"

The beautiful woman named Rika covered her face and shook her head, saying helplessly to Ge Bai, "Yes, my Peach Blossom Jellyfish really does have healing magic. I am a senior healer with Alliance certification!"

"Don't worry about it. Everyone who sees my freshwater jellyfish for the first time will ask that question."

"Give it a try, our fish maw has a great ability to restore vitality."

Seeing the strong reaction from the healers on the other side after he said something, Ge Bai felt a little embarrassed and quickly handed over the large willow branch.

The peach blossom jellyfish floated in front of the willow tree, its soft, light pink light covering it.

This is a high-level skill, and its spirit recovery effect is indeed very good; Da Liu's spirit power was immediately maxed out.
