Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 77 There's Never a Shortage of Geniuses [Part Two]

"Liu Gu!"

Bathed in the healing aura of the peach blossom jellyfish, Da Liu felt his spiritual energy rapidly recovering, which was very comfortable.

"Bye-bye, this jellyfish's spirit-restoring effect is better than Xiaotao's spirit-restoring peach."

He made sure to share his feelings with Gobai.

Ge Bai used his spiritual communication system to glance at the peach blossom jellyfish called Hua Jiao. Its spiritual power level was 7th level of the Overlord Realm, and its skill was Spiritual Aura - Mastery.

Goodness, the organizers of the Beijing-Hong Kong Arena are really generous. Even in the preliminary rounds, their healers were already at the advanced Overlord Realm, and their skill proficiency was also high.

This time, the effect of the spiritual aura is definitely better than Xiao Tao's Spirit Peach effect.

"Congratulations, Gobai, on winning another match. Your current ranking is 101."

"I'm very sorry, but because your pet's actual spiritual power level is low, it has affected the tournament's assessment of your estimated strength. Currently, your estimated strength level is still at the first level of the Extraordinary Realm."

The staff found Ge Bai and dutifully came over to inform her of the latest information.

"However, this will not affect your subsequent matches. You can apply to challenge higher-level players at any time."

Upon hearing what the staff member said, Ge Bai activated his spiritual sense and brought up the system task list.

[Quest progress for defeating (repelling) spirit plants and spirit beasts: Mortal spirit plants or spirit beasts (completed), Transcendent spirit plants or spirit beasts (4/10)]

Da Liu and the others have been sparring with each other every day recently, and they have already completed the mission to defeat the mortal spirit realm.

The four defeats (or repellings) of the Transcendent Realm were the result of these two preliminary rounds of the arena competition. The first two were recognized by the system after defeating that Xuanfeng.

This time was pretty good too; in one match, the system recognized two defeats (knockouts).

It's estimated that one will be Chiyo's final blow, and the other will be Ōyanagi's Wind-Weaving Net Domain.

Judging from this, if we play it three or four more times, the mission should be almost complete.

"As long as the players I'm matched with are at least at the Transcendent Realm, it's fine."

Ge Bai didn't act arrogantly and humbly told the staff about his plans.

The staff member was somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, they kindly offered their advice.

"Ge Bai, according to the official matchmaking mechanism of the tournament, your opponents in the next few matches will all be at the first or second level of the Transcendent Realm. Playing against players of this level will not help your current ranking much."

In the preliminary rounds of the city-level arena competition in Jinggang City, barring any major surprises, the beginner level of the Transcendent Realm usually hovers on the edge of qualifying for the preliminary rounds. Even based on strength rating, Ge Bai's current ranking is quite high.

However, Ge Bai didn't come to participate in the audition with the intention of ranking.

Her current goals are to complete the mission and raise the spiritual power levels of Daiyanagi and Chiyo, so as to secure a spot in the special admission program for Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 Middle School.

-

Admissions Office of Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 Middle School.

A room full of teachers are reviewing the application materials of students who applied for the Beijing-Hong Kong Special Enrollment Program this year.

"Huh? There's a profile for a plant cultivator here? And why is it marked as 'no initial review required'?"

A teacher at the second review post happened to come across Ge Bai's materials; the sealed document bag was stamped with a large "first review exemption" stamp.

Another teacher peeked over and pointed to a small stamp below, saying, "Hey, that's the exemption from review signed by Director Zheng. I guess he found some promising students at the school."

The Director Zheng they were referring to is Zheng Mingchun, the director of the Practical Teaching and Research Office at Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 Middle School, who had previously visited Ge Bai's school.

The teacher in the second review became even more curious after hearing what his colleague said. He opened Ge Bai's documents and frowned as he looked at them.

After all, when submitting this document, Ge Bai only registered the initial information of the ancient weeping willow.

"This... I feel like even if we put it in, it wouldn't pass inspection."

The teacher reviewing the documents was having a headache. A young male teacher next to him had just come over and noticed Ge Bai's ID photo and Da Liu's registration photo.

"This girl and this willow tree... they look so familiar!" he said, pulling out his phone to find yesterday's trending post. "Take a look, isn't this Ge Bai?"

Seeing that the group had started chatting, the teachers, who had been working at their desks for half a day, also looked up, stretched, and prepared to listen to the lively conversation and chat for a while.

The post the young male teacher found was an analysis of Ge Bai's first ring match. The post included several mid-range photos of the match and registration photos released by the ring match organizers.

"It seems like you really are alone."

The judge in the second review didn't read the content of the post; he only glanced at a few pictures in it.

"If it really is this Ge Bai, she might just be the dark horse of our Jinggang No.1 Middle School's special recruitment this year. Director Zheng has a good eye."

This young male teacher was clearly a high-intensity surfer. He quickly briefed his colleagues on Ge Bai's achievements in the arena over the past two days, as well as the information on the wild spiritual plants that Ge Bai had contracted, as released by the Spiritual Plant Research Institute.

Another, slightly older teacher listened patiently and then took a small sip of tea.

"Not necessarily. There are quite a few little monsters coming to our Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 High School this year."

As soon as work stops and a cup of tea is picked up, a whole new wave of messages arrives.

The most noteworthy is Long Junchi from the Long family of Jinggang. His grandfather is the president of the Jinggang City Adventurers Association and one of the few commander-level beast tamers in Jinggang City. His father and several uncles have also become overlord-level beast tamers long ago, and they are expected to break through to the commander level in recent years.

Coincidentally, the Long family generally contracts with dragon-type pets.

Although raising dragon-type pets requires a huge amount of resources, the growth level of dragon-type pets is generally very high in proportion to the resources invested. From the early to the late stages, they can be said to have no weak periods.

It's not just a matter of resources for training; dragon-type pets themselves don't have particularly good personalities. Fairy dragons are aloof, fire dragons are irritable, and sea dragons are indifferent—each has its own problems.

Gaining the approval of dragon-type pets is no easy feat, and the Dragon Family seems to possess some secret methods that are not shared with outsiders, making it easier for them to gain recognition than others.

As long as the dragon-type pet is trained reasonably well, it can easily crush other pets of the same level.

This Long Junchi is the most outstanding member of the Long family this generation. He has successfully contracted a Black Spine Dragon and has trained it to a considerable degree.

With no shortage of resources, talent, or hard work, Long Junchi is the legendary "other people's child".

Another one is Fang Miaowen, who comes from a family of martial arts practitioners. She is the cousin of Ran Caijiao from the senior class of Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 High School. Their mothers are sisters.

Similar to Hengran Martial Arts School, Fang Miaowen's family also runs a martial arts school that has been open for nearly a hundred years.

Unlike Ran Caijiao's family, which specializes in raising large ape-like pets, Fang Miaowen's family focuses on raising only one type of pet: the Frost White Armor Bear.

Legend has it that nearly a hundred years ago, the former master of this martial arts school rescued a Frost White Armor Bear in a secret realm. After forming a contract with it and helping the beast complete its bloodline evolution, he also maintained a good relationship with the Frost White Armor Bears of the same lineage in the secret realm and mastered the method to enter the secret realm.

For generations, a family has been bound to a white-armored ice bear of the same bloodline, raising it as their primary pet.

The Frost White Armor Bear is already exceptionally powerful, and this little girl has long been selected by Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 Middle School. They're just waiting for her to enroll and become a key member of the new Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 Middle School team.

The other one is not as famous as the previous two, but his experience is even more bizarre.

This young man named Yi Kaijun was just an average junior high school student with average grades and an average family background; the kind of person you wouldn't even notice in a crowd.

As a result, in this year's spiritual awareness development test, a spiritual power value of 15.7% was measured, which is the highest value in nearly ten years. Not only that, he also measured an extremely high level of pet affinity in the affinity value of spiritual creatures.

Before he even left the testing center, various high schools had already extended offers to him. He was a born beast tamer, the kind of person who was blessed with natural talent.

It is said that the Alliance Spirit Beast Research Institute was also busy, and immediately contacted the young man to provide him with resources and even help him choose a pet beast.

This young man is quite promising; his first pet is a Dark Ghost, which is a young pet carefully bred by the Alliance's Spirit Beast Research Institute.

A bright future is definitely on their side.

When the admissions team of Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 High School successfully recruited this young man, they held a celebration banquet.

The elusive Dark Specters are not only natural-born assassins, but also, with training, the Alliance military's favorite scout race.

In the arena, Dark Ghost's win rate is also far ahead. In many cases, the match is over before the opponent has even seen anything.

There was once a player in the Star Alliance Arena whose Dark Ghost was particularly dramatic. He loved to appear out of nowhere and draw funny faces on his opponents with lipstick.

This makes things easier for the referees. If a ghost face is drawn on an opponent's vital area, theoretically, the opponent can be declared the loser. If the Dark Ghost gets close, they have a hundred ways to cause damage.

Every time this dark ghost appears, what everyone is most curious about is what brand and shade of lipstick he is holding.

There were rumors that this contestant's beauty product endorsement fees were a hundred times higher than the prize money for the competition.

As two of the most important metropolitan areas in China, Beijing and Hong Kong have never lacked geniuses.

Of course, Ge Bai, who is currently enjoying great popularity, is also quite good, especially in the circle of spirit plant masters, where she is already regarded as the leading figure of the next generation of combat-type spirit plant masters.

"There are still 3 weeks until the special admissions, let's see who comes out on top in the end."

After gossiping about some of the promising students in this year's cohort, the admissions officers dispersed and returned to their desks to continue their work.

Ge Bai's materials were also successfully stamped with the approval seal.

-

"It's okay, I don't care much about the ranking, a player in the early stage of the Transcendent Realm is fine."

Ge Bai was grateful for the staff's kind reminder, but also seriously expressed his own thoughts.

If the reminders are given properly, the staff will have fulfilled their responsibilities.

"Alright, Ge Bai, if you don't have any special requests, the tournament organizers have matched you with two opponents today. One is a randomly matched beast tamer at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, which you can refuse. The other is a challenge from a beast tamer at the fifth level of the Mortal Spirit Realm, which you cannot refuse."

"I won't refuse either."

Gobai doesn't really care. No matter what kind of battle it is, Oyagi and Chiyo will always improve.

"Your next opponent's information is as follows: Name: Li Yaxin, Occupation: Beastmaster, Registered Pet: Ice Armor Warrior (Level 1 of the Transcendent Realm), Ranking: 109th. Would it be alright to schedule the match for the next game?"

"no problem."

Da Liu only had a lot of spiritual energy depleted, and her minor external injuries were just healed by the peach blossom jellyfish.

As for Chiyo, she didn't even expend any spiritual energy; she was currently quite excited.

Starting the next challenge immediately was no problem for Ge Bai and his team.

"Keep it up!"

Therapist Rika and Peach Blossom Jellyfish Gum quickly became familiar with Da Liu and were having a great time playing with him.

The fish maw that had completed its treatment task also transformed into a miniature form, a tiny jellyfish only half the size of a palm, jumping around among the willow branches of the large willow tree.

The big willow tree was happy to wave its branches to tease the little jellyfish. Even the apex predator jellyfish still prefers plants similar to aquatic plants.

Seeing that Ge Bai was about to take the stage, Li Ka called back Hua Jiao, while also cheering for Da Liu.

Gobai smiled and reached out to Da Liu, making it easier for him to jump onto his shoulder. Chonglika nodded and walked towards the entrance of the arena.

As he walked, Ge Bai sketched a summoning circle, and Chiyo's figure solidified in mid-air.

"Bai Bai, don't be angry." As soon as Chiyo came out, she snuggled up to Ge Bai's cheek and rubbed against him affectionately.

With a stern face, Ge Bai pulled Chiyo in front of him.

"You know you made mistakes in the last game?" Gobai asked seriously.

"Okay, okay, please don't stop me from playing." Chiyo was still being unreasonable.

"Sigh," Ge Bai sighed helplessly.

"Alright! Let's have another match. You guys decide what to do."

"Let's talk about it tonight," Ge Bai shook his head helplessly.

When he went on stage, both Kaba's Oyagi and Chiyo were by his side, as were the opposing team.

The ice-armored warrior followed directly behind the beast tamer Li Yaxin, walked onto the arena, bypassed the beast tamer, and stood in a position near the front of the arena.

【Type: Ice Armor Warrior (Dominant Race)】

[Spiritual Power Value: Transcendent Realm Level 1 (58.37/100)]

[Attribute: Ice]

[Skill: Ice Blade - Proficient. Skill Description: Wields an icy blade extending from the user's ice armor, dealing ice damage.]

[Skill: Samurai Charge - Proficient. Skill Description: The samurai rapidly approaches the target enemy in a very short time, shortening the distance between them, dealing physical damage to the target enemy, and inflicting a certain amount of ice-type spiritual damage.]

[Skill: Ice and Snow Domain - Beginner. Skill Description: An area-of-effect control skill. Activating this skill creates a cold, snowy domain around the user, slightly healing their own injuries. Enemies within the Ice and Snow Domain are slowed and suffer continuous icy damage. Allied skills deal increased ice-based damage.]

Information about the Ice Armor Warrior appeared before Gobai's eyes.

Judging from his skill proficiency, she knew without even fighting that this ice-armored warrior had only recently entered the transcendent realm. He and his beast tamer had mainly focused on training physical attacks, and had hardly begun learning anything related to the ice domain.

This is also a training method for Ice Armor Warriors. In the early stages of pet training, priority is given to teaching swordsmanship and warrior skills, which greatly benefits the Ice Armor Warrior's attack power.

At the same time, it also lays a good foundation for advanced skills in the later stages.

It seems that the opponent is the type to play it safe and steady.
