Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 96 Steady Progress, Decisive Victory in One Strike [Part Two]

"Teacher Zheng, be more tolerant. They're just kids in the prime of their youth."

Upon hearing Zheng Mingchun's words, Ping Ningyan lazily turned her head and casually offered a defense for the students on stage.

Zheng Mingchun snorted coldly and said nothing more, but he made up his mind that once the new school team members were selected, he would definitely teach them well.

On stage, Fang Miaowen didn't care about anything else and happily greeted the chubby guy off the stage.

The chubby bear stood up unsteadily, as if nothing had happened. Despite being a minor bear, it was already almost as tall as two people.

Instead of transforming back into its miniature form, it simply followed Fang Miaowen off the field.

The quiet and lovely little girl walking together with the big, chubby polar bear is a truly pleasing sight.

As Fang Miaowen left the stage, Ge Bai looked in his direction and gave her two thumbs-up from afar.

She had just taken the opportunity to get a closer look at the chubby white bear; this Frost Armor Bear was quite formidable.

Not only has his spiritual power level reached the first level of the extraordinary realm, but he is also proficient in mastering three attack skills and one defensive skill.

No wonder it comes from a long-established martial arts school.

Long Junchi, who was sitting on the sidelines, glanced at Fang Miaowen without much expression; it was just as he expected.

The first round of elimination for all 32 students participating in the special admissions program for Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 High School was completed in just about half an hour.

"Winner: Beastmaster Long Junchi"

"Winner: Beastmaster Yi Kaijun"

"Winner: Beastmaster Shichenliang"

They all won with a single blow, turned around and left the stage, making Zheng Mingchun's face turn black.

If the match-ups for the specially recruited players hadn't already been arranged, Zheng Mingchun really wanted to put these conspicuous recruits together in one round to see who could still be so arrogant.

The darker Zheng Mingchun's face became, the more Ping Ningyan laughed, not only ceasing her attempts to dissuade him but also adding fuel to the fire.

"I really like some of the seeded players this year."

There is no break between the first and second rounds of the knockout stage; it begins immediately.

With all four matches in the upper bracket starting simultaneously, Gobai was already in position next to court number one.

In this match, her opponent was a boy with black-rimmed glasses who had a contract with Huang Zedong's alligator snapping turtle.

This year is also strange. Rare pets that are usually only seen once every few years are now frequently seen at the special recruitment competition of Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 High School.

This type of Huangze Dong-style alligator snapping turtle not only does not live in China, but is also rare on this planet. It belongs to the second planet controlled by the Interstellar Alliance and is a unique pet animal of the Zehai region of Dongao Star.

I don't know how this boy managed to make the contract.

"Green Hair, do your best in this match too!"

The boy brought his Huang Zedong alligator snapping turtle onto the stage, squatted down next to the turtle, patted its thick shell, and encouraged it with great enthusiasm.

Upon hearing the name of this alligator snapping turtle, not only Ge Bai but also Da Liu couldn't help but turn their heads.

The shell of this Huang Zedong alligator snapping turtle is covered with dense brown patterns and looks very shiny, but it doesn't have a single green hair.

Green-haired turtles are also pets that can be contracted, completely different from Huang Zedong alligator snapping turtles, and they even have reproductive isolation.

To be honest, Big Willow is a better fit for the name Green Hair than this turtle.

Ge Bai coughed lightly, choosing to respect his opponent.

In Huang Zedong's last match, Ge Bai only saw the tail of the alligator snapping turtle. This water-type pet's attack skills were average, with only one single water bullet, but its defense was truly amazing.

In the previous match, Hummingbird used all its skills on Huang Zedong's alligator snapping turtle until it was exhausted, but it couldn't hurt it in the slightest.

When the attack is intense, the Huang Zedong alligator snapping turtle will retract into its shell and remain unmoved no matter how many attacks it receives.

In the end, the hummingbird was forced to retreat.

"Da Liu, just block the water bullets casually, then use the Storm Willow Blade Hammer for a flank attack and flip him over."

Ge Bai gave his attack suggestions in a concise and clear manner.

"Liu Gu!"

Da Liu shouted excitedly.

He loved close-quarters combat the most. He didn't feel anything from the previous duel, but seeing the polar bears' exchange of blows really piqued Da Liu's interest.

"The match begins!"

This time, the match had just begun and was far less intense than Da Liu's previous match.

The alligator snapping turtle moved steadily and slowly, taking two steps toward the center of the arena before stopping.

The water bombs were thrown at Da Liu intermittently.

It seems that the opposing team is still preparing to adopt a defensive strategy in this match.

Ge Bai patted the trunk of the big willow tree and said softly.

"Go, take care of him."

Da Liu understood immediately and mobilized the power of the soil to uproot his roots from the arena.

At the same time, he circulated his spiritual energy and gathered it at the root, mimicking two large root-like feet.

He wasn't in a hurry, and steadily moved forward step by step.

Upon closer inspection, this speed isn't slow at all; it's at least not much slower than the alligator snapping turtle's two movements.

As he walked, he brandished his willow whip, easily deflecting the water bullets thrown at him.

At the same time, he would find one or two openings, casually aim at the head and limbs of the alligator snapping turtle, and throw out one or two wind blades.

I don't seek to defeat the enemy, but simply to make things difficult for the alligator snapping turtle.

Both sides used water bullets and wind blades like it was nothing special, there's not much to say about it.

But Da Liu's two steps made the plant masters in the audience and on the stands frown again.

"Do all the contracted spirit plants of you spirit plant masters already possess this kind of mobility?"

In the waiting area of ​​court number one, a girl in a white dress looked at Da Liu on the court and then looked at the boy next to her with a puzzled expression.

The boy's devil vines were wrapped around his arm, and he had obviously seen Da Liu move. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Faced with the sudden question, he had a million curses he wanted to unleash.

Ghosts' ability to move—don't you know that spirit plant masters hate it when people mention movement abilities?

The boy, with a stern face, didn't look at her and gave a cold reply.

"I don't know, I have a contract with a vine-type spirit plant, so I don't need to move it like this."

He's right. Vines and spirit plants usually take root in one spot and then extend their tendrils, heading straight for the enemy or covering the entire field.

Vines, indeed, don't move like that.

In the stands.

"Chu Qiang, I think the two steps that the ancient willow tree took were very steady, much smoother than your explosive ball's movement."

The difference between shrubs and trees is much smaller than the difference between vines and trees.

The beast tamer teammates sitting in the row behind Chu Qiang didn't know much about spirit plants, but they also keenly noticed that although Da Liu's movements were slow, they were very smooth.

In his mind, most plant masters were stationary attackers.

Take Chu Qiang's explosive dunk as an example. Sometimes when he has to move on the court, he pulls his roots out of the ring and then staggers around a few steps, which looks extremely difficult.

Unlike that ancient weeping willow on the field now, which takes small, slow steps but is steady and reliable.

"How would I know? This ancient weeping willow is quite strange."

As a plant master, Chu Qiang's understanding was much deeper than his teammates'. Normal trees and shrubs would never have such an effect unless a plant master specifically trained them to walk.

Even if a spiritual plant has a high level of spiritual power, it is still willing to connect with the earth.

For most spiritual plants, every step they take involves lifting their roots off the ground, which will inevitably make them uncomfortable.

Unless, of course, high-level resources are provided.

Chu Qiang thought of another possibility and looked at Ran Caijiao with a suspicious expression.

"Captain, just who is this Ge Bai?"

Ran Caijiao's gaze swept back and forth across the four arenas, completely ignoring Da Liu Mai's two steps.

You should know that in the previous preliminary rounds, Da Liu moved by teleportation.

"Oh? Ge Bai? I heard he grew up in an orphanage on Blue Star."

"oh."

You must have misunderstood.

Chu Qiang shook his head, shaking the unrealistic conjecture out of his mind.

High-level resources and soil of the time are known to every plant master as extremely rare, expensive, and difficult to obtain.

Ge Bai must have used some other method that he was unaware of.

Chu Qiang decided that after the competition, he would try to get closer to this junior schoolmate.

"The soil of time?"

Ping Ningyan had some insight, but she still showed surprise.

I was shocked by the girl's resources and background.

"I heard that this girl has a very close relationship with the Beijing-Hong Kong Institute of Spiritual Plants."

Zheng Mingchun also realized this, and moreover, he knew much more about Ge Bai than Ping Ningyan did.

"Oh!"

If the Beijing-Hong Kong Institute of Plant Research is providing support, then it's easier to understand.

And just like that, the misunderstanding was perfectly formed.

As a result, for a long time to come, various channels and forces will try to ask the Beijing-Hong Kong Lingzhi Research Institute for the soil of that time.

Da Liu has commendable mobility, but that doesn't mean he can necessarily break through Huang Zedong's alligator snapping turtle's defenses.

The beast tamer standing behind Huang Zedong's golden alligator turtle didn't seem particularly nervous as Da Liu approached.

He was extremely confident in his turtle's defensive capabilities.

"Green Hair, hold on."

As Da Liu gathered his strength, he walked up to Huang Zedong's alligator snapping turtle.

On the alligator snapping turtle's side, the intervals between water bullet attacks are getting longer and longer, but the force of each water bullet is greater than before.

Two small eyes on the turtle's head, like two tiny black beans, were staring intently at Da Liu.

The turtle's head, which had been sticking out long, quietly retracted, as if it were ready to shrink back into its shell at any moment.

Da Liu stood still and continued to circulate the spiritual energy within his body, directing almost all of it into the several clumps of willow branches that had already been twisted together.

The alligator snapping turtle could tell that Da Liu was about to make a move, so it silently retracted its head into its shell, while its limbs remained firmly gripping the arena floor.

One second, two seconds.

The willow tree reached its peak of power, and the entire cluster of willow branches, twisted into a hammer shape, was suddenly swung out, bringing not only a fierce wind but also a sense of thunder breaking through the sky.

Upon seeing this attack, Chu Qiang stood up abruptly, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the back of the chair.

Everyone in the audience could see that the power of this attack was no weaker than the Wind-Weaving Net Domain that Da Liu had unleashed in the previous match.

There is a high-level skill, and it is a high-level skill with mastery of ultimate techniques.

This ancient weeping willow is simply incredible!

"Where did this girl dig up this ancient weeping willow?" Chu Qiang's voice changed with jealousy.

He absolutely refused to believe that any spirit plant master could cultivate both of the spirit plant's advanced skills to the profound level within a month.

He preferred to believe that the ancient weeping willow had already mastered these two advanced skills before being contracted by Ge Bai.

Chu Qiang can deceive himself, but Ran Caijiao is very clear-headed.

"About half a month ago, I first mastered the Storm Willow Blade Hammer by training at my family's martial arts school under this ancient weeping willow."

Ran Caijiao didn't know that the Wind Weaving Domain was actually something Ge Bai and Da Liu mastered when they sparred with the macaque at her family's martial arts school that day.

"..."

Hearing what Ran Caijiao said, Chu Qiang was completely speechless.

He really wanted to leave right now and devise a short-term, rapid improvement plan for his explosive ball skills.

But he was reluctant to leave now and really wanted to see just how powerful this plant master named Ge Bai really was.

He now completely believes that what the captain said is true. Ge Bai is indeed a formidable rival who threatens his status as a spirit plant master in the team!

A bead of cold sweat silently slid down Chu Qiang's back.

boom!

Inside the enclosure, the Huang Zedong alligator snapping turtle adopted a retracted posture, attempting to withstand the attack.

Da Liu's Storm Willow Blade Hammer slammed mercilessly from the left side of the alligator snapping turtle.

With a loud bang, the alligator snapping turtle's limbs, which were tightly gripping the ground, trembled violently. After being impacted, it could no longer hold on to the ground.

The giant tortoise, weighing in tons, was sent flying like a rugby ball by Da Liu.

Not only that, the giant tortoise that was thrown into the air let out a muffled wail.

A closer look reveals that, starting from the point where the Great Willow Storm Blade Hammer struck, a network of cracks spreads across the tortoise shell.

"Green hair!"

The beast tamer sensed the pain of Huang Zedong's golden alligator turtle and cried out urgently.

The referee blew the whistle to end the match the instant the alligator snapping turtle flew out of area number one.

It wasn't that he and Shengfang couldn't wait a second longer; the main reason was to save the tortoise. The giant tortoise had already been knocked unconscious, and the landing of such a heavy tortoise would only worsen his injuries.

Upon receiving the referee's request, the linesman immediately took action.

The black squid clinging to him activated its spiritual power, extending its tentacles to catch the giant turtle as it was about to land.

Dominant-class black squid.

It was only then that Ge Bai noticed the border guard's pet, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Jinggang No.1 Middle School is full of hidden talents; even a random teacher there is a master-level beast tamer.

"Winner: Spirit Plant Master Ge Bai"

In this match, Da Liu dawdled and spent time walking towards the alligator snapping turtle, but Ge Bai was still the first to finish the fight in this round of four matches.

Before the referee could announce the victory, Ge Bai had already walked to Da Liu's side. Da Liu hurriedly transformed back into her mini form and jumped onto Ge Bai's shoulder.

I couldn't help but complain to her.

"Bye-bye, let's bring Chiyo out next time too. Teleporting is much faster than going through all that trouble step by step!"

Dairyu misses the feeling of Chiyo directly sending him to the best attack position, allowing him to strike with all his might.

"Okay, I won't let you do it yourself next time."

Ge Bai readily agreed.

"This can still be considered a decisive victory."

Ping Ningyan, standing on the podium, grew to like Ge Bai more and more, and couldn't help but tease Zheng Mingchun.

"That young lady and the ancient weeping willow have taken steady steps, one by one."
