Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 97 The Top Eight are Born [Part Two]

Hearing Coach Ping Ningyan's teasing, Coach Zheng's face darkened even more.

He was well aware that Ge Bai had contracted with a space-type spiritual plant.

He had even watched one or two of Ge Bai's matches during the preliminary rounds of the Beijing-Hong Kong city-level tournament.

Back then, weren't the combination of Cymbidium goeringii and Weeping Willow quite good?

Wouldn't it be easy to just teleport there?

Why bother with all this tedious, step-by-step work today?

Coach Zheng was speechless at Ge Bai and Da Liu, but on the surface he kept his eyes straight ahead, not wanting to pay any attention to Ping Ningyan.

Seeing that Professor Zheng's face had darkened considerably even though he hadn't said anything, Ping Ningyan burst into laughter.

The quarterfinals in the upper bracket have gradually come to an end.

Of the original 32 students who participated in the special recruitment of Beijing-Hong Kong No.4 Middle School, four were plant masters, including Ge Bai.

After the last round of competition, all three plant masters except for Ge Bai were eliminated.

The boy who was shocked by Da Liu's mobility and had formed a contract with the Devil Vine originally had a chance to make it into the top eight and get a special admission spot.

Moreover, to be honest, he cultivated the Devil Vine quite well, and the pet's spiritual power level reached level 9 of the Mortal Spirit Realm.

He has also mastered skills such as Devil Vine Entanglement, Vine Kill, and Concealment.

In the previous round, his Devil Vine's opponent was a level 8 Mortal Spirit Realm Ji Lie Steelwing Eagle.

Although the Steelwing Eagle has a natural advantage in the high altitude, the plant expert and the Devil Vine's response can both be described as quite good.

During the battle, the high-altitude long-range attacks of the Steelwing Eagle were well dodged by the Devil Vine and could not cause fatal damage to it.

Conversely, a somewhat anxious Steelwing Eagle was caught off guard by the Devil Vine during a dive, as the vines shot out and firmly wrapped around its feet.

The Steelwing Eagle was almost defeated by the strangulation of the vines.

Who would have thought that the beast tamer of the Steel-Winged Eagle, this young girl named Yin Qilan, had a hidden skill.

From the moment everyone arrived at the Jinggang No.1 Middle School training ground, her Ji Lie Steel Wing Eagle had been by her side. No contestant on the field had ever seen her draw a summoning circle, so naturally they hadn't seen the color of her summoning circle.

The special admissions program at Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 High School does not disclose the detailed information of the candidates, and her training level as a Steelwing Eagle is also quite high.

Therefore, her opponents naturally assumed that she, like most contestants, only had one pet beast in her contract.

Upon seeing the Steelwing Eagle entangled by vines, Yin Qilan quickly drew a summoning circle and summoned a luminous water sprite.

This water spirit's spiritual power level is not high, probably only at the initial stage of the mortal spirit realm.

However, he had clearly been preparing for a long time in the Beastmaster's spiritual space, or perhaps the beast and the Beastmaster had already discussed the tactics beforehand.

The moment the water sprite appeared, without a second's hesitation, it unleashed a full-power healing bubble on the Steelwing Eagle.

After the spell was cast, the water sprite visibly shrank, and Yin Qilan immediately retrieved it into her spiritual space to nurture it.

If they weren't still on the stage and the competition rules didn't allow it, Yin Qilan would probably have taken out the nutrient solution and thrown the water sprite in to soak.

But this water sprite, which appeared for less than a second and was drained by a single skill, completely changed the course of the battle.

The Steelwing Eagle, caught by the Devil Vine, struggled desperately. After grabbing the eagle, the Devil Vine retracted all its other outstretched vines and concentrated its spiritual power to strangle it.

The Steelwing Eagle's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and it seemed the scales of victory were about to tip in favor of the Devil Vine.

Unexpectedly, a water bubble hit it, and the Steelwing Eagle seemed to have recovered its strength, suddenly breaking free from its restraints.

At the same time, he seized the opportunity to deliver a close-range Steel Wing Spin to the Devil Vine.

The outcome could be reversed in an instant.

This plant cultist boy and his Devil Vine can only prepare some more and see if they can snag a special admission spot for Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 Middle School in the challenge.

After leaving the arena, Ge Bai immediately turned his attention to Yin Qilan and the Ji Lie Steelwing Eagle. According to the schedule, they were Ge Bai's opponents in the next match.

As soon as the match against the Devil Vine ended, Yin Qilan couldn't wait to summon the Fluorescent Water Sprite from her spiritual space.

Although it was immediately placed in the spiritual space to be nurtured, the fluorescent water sprite still looked shriveled and wilted.

She held the glowing water sprite and walked to the head referee, whispered to him for a while, and asked the healer to treat her pet.

The referee carefully assessed the situation and glanced back at Coach Zheng Mingchun on the podium.

Coach Zheng nodded towards them from a distance.

Accompanied by the Beastmaster, the two Overlord-level healing pets walked to Yin Qilan and the Firefly Water Sprite, easily restoring the Water Sprite to its best condition.

He also managed to heal the wounds of the Steelwinged Eagle.

Seeing this, Ge Bai turned around and glanced at Da Liu, who was happily drinking the nutrient solution she had brought herself.

Da Liu immediately understood, hid the nutrient solution in the dense willow branches, and wobbled towards the healer, thus gaining access to a spiritual energy recovery skill.

Hmm, not bad.

We're out of rice at home, so let's save on the nutrient solution we can by using it.

Ge Bai didn't care about any of that, and even felt a little sorry for the half bottle of nutrient solution that Da Liu had already drunk.

In her mind, pragmatism is the key.

Right now, there are quite a few teachers and students in the audience who are paying attention to Ge Bai and Da Liu.

Seeing this, many people had black lines appear on the back of their heads.

[Impossible, I guessed wrong just now. They're even skimping on a single bottle of nutrient solution, how could they possibly afford Time Soil?]

Chu Qiang pursed his lips, inwardly cursing himself for being delusional once again.

"This young lady knows how to manage her finances."

Ping Ningyan likes Ge Bai more and more the more she looks at him.

The subtle tension between Ge Bai and Da Liu did not escape her notice.

It's said that a pet resembles its master. Just by looking at Da Liu's incredibly skillful way of hiding half a bottle of nutrient solution into the willow branches, you can tell that Ge Bai is also an interesting person who can do such a thing.

Da Liu, who walked up to the therapist, was quite calm and composed.

Zheng Mingchun frowned. What's going on with the Spirit Plant Research Institute? How come such a genius spirit plant master can't even afford a bottle of nutrient solution?

On the other side of the field, Yi Kaijun, who also comes from an ordinary family, appeared much more composed.

Let alone trying to use a healing spell.

His pet beast, the Dark Ghost, would immediately retreat into the shadow of its master beast tamer as soon as it left the arena; this was a characteristic of such ghosts.

Yi Kaijun, on the other hand, opened a Dark Concealment Umbrella and sat under it with a calm expression.

It wasn't that he had any special fetishes, but rather that the Dark Ghost particularly liked the shadow of the Dark Shadow Umbrella, where he could rest and recover better.

This umbrella alone is worth several million.

Clearly, this was also a gift from the Spirit Beast Research Institute.

Compared to the Spirit Beast Research Institute, the Beijing-Hong Kong Spirit Plant Research Institute is only richer, not poorer.

Coach Zheng Mingchun couldn't understand it at all.

Little did he know that Ge Bai had already spent nearly ten million.

-

Just as Da Liu was using the healing spell, the quarterfinals of the lower bracket also came to an end.

The eight students who have temporarily secured special admission slots for this year's Beijing-Hong Kong No.8 Middle School have all been selected.

Upper half of the draw: Ge Bai, Yin Qilan, Shi Chenliang, Lan Xin

Bottom half: Fang Miaowen, Long Junchi, Yi Kaijun, Nangong

"Next, we will continue with the top eight qualifying matches."

Coach Zheng Mingchun stood on the podium and announced loudly.

"The challenge will be held tomorrow. Other players who are interested in participating should gather at this venue at the same time tomorrow."

"Eight contestants are waiting in their respective positions, while the other contestants may leave or go to the audience seats."

Coach Zheng Mingchun's style remains as concise as ever.

Upon hearing the announcement, none of the more than 20 eliminated contestants left the venue; instead, they all went to the audience seats and found places to sit down.

Judging from this, the challenge match will last another whole day tomorrow.

Ge Bai and Yin Qilan walked to opposite sides of the first arena. As Ge Bai walked, he sketched a summoning circle, which made Yin Qilan turn around frequently.

For his second pet, Ge Bai naturally called out Chiyo.

"Cymbidium goeringii, a spiritual plant of the spatial type."

Chu Qiang looked at the little orchid that had solidified and perched on Ge Bai's head, and his mouth watered.

While the ancient weeping willow may be impressive, it is nothing more than a tree-like spiritual plant with a strong attacking ability.

There are several similar spiritual plants.

If Chu Qiang were given another chance, he could choose to contract with either his Explosive Ball or Weeping Willow.

I'd guess he'll still choose to dunk with the explosive ball. He's always believed that explosions are art.

But the Cymbidium goeringii is different!

This is a space-type spirit plant! It's the only space-type spirit plant that the Interstellar Alliance has information on and that can be contracted by spirit plant masters!

Other spatial-type spiritual plants are either high-altitude flowers from secret realms or exotic plants in a chaotic state on the battlefield.

You know, there aren't many space-type pets, and heaven knows how much spirit plant masters coveted them a few years ago.

The most noteworthy thing is that this Cymbidium goeringii's spatial teleportation skill has directly changed the way plant masters attack.

Sometimes, the spirit plants that stand still and output damage don't really want to be "turrets" deep down, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

Now, the solution lies right on Ge Bai's head!

When Yin Qilan learned that her next opponent was Ge Bai, she took the opportunity to gather some information about her.

When she saw Ge Bai call out the famous space-type spirit plant, the Thousand-Year Spring Sword Orchid, her heart sank.

Not only that, she was also very worried about the third spiritual plant that had never appeared before.

Ge Bai had no idea what she was thinking right now. If he did, he would definitely comfort her earnestly.

Don't worry, Da Liu and Chiyo will handle your two pets with ease.

Ge Bai and Yin Qilan stood on opposite sides of the arena, while the Ji Lie Steel-Winged Eagle hovered low above Yin Qilan's head.

This time, Yin Qilan didn't hide anything and directly hugged the fluorescent water sprite to her chest.

Ge Bai used the spiritual communication system to take a closer look at the fluorescent water sprite.

really.

Spiritual power level: Mortal Spirit Realm Level 2.

Skill: Water Bubbles - Beginner.

It really is a newly formed, juvenile pet.

That water bubble attack on the field just now had already consumed all of the Water Sprite's spiritual power.

Even now, traces of spiritual energy fluctuations could still be seen around the glowing water sprite, indicating that it would take quite a while for it to gather enough water to form a bubble.

Kabai didn't explain much to Oyanagi and Chiyo.

It's just a level 8 Mortal Spirit Realm Ji Lie Steelwing Eagle. Even if he has two lives, it's still easy for the two of them to take him down together.

It's not like we haven't beaten down birds in the Transcendent Realm before.

Da Liu transformed back to its normal size, walked up to Ge Bai and stood there, skillfully mobilizing the power of the Time Soil, ready to accept Chiyo's spatial teleportation at any time.

Chiyo wasn't in such a hurry. She was still perched on Gobai's head, but her eyes remained fixed on the circling steel-winged eagle, never looking away for a moment.

"The match begins!"

Upon hearing the whistle to start the race, the Steelwing Eagle immediately ascended, spread its wings, and swooped down to increase the initial kinetic energy for its steel-winged circling maneuver.

It spun around twice with its steel wings and headed straight for Da Liu.

This time, Da Liu didn't overestimate himself.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

He unleashed six wind blades in an instant, aiming at the steel wings as they spun around.

We've never fought before, so who knows how strong this Steelwing Eagle's Steelwing Spin is?

Snap, snap.

Ge Bai, with his keen eyes, noticed that the power of the steel wings' swirling motion was not small; a single wind blade could only slightly impede its forward momentum.

It would take two or even three wind blades to completely block the steel wing's swirl.

No problem. A single Steelwing Eagle's Steelwing Spin consumes far more energy than a volley of wind blades fired by Da Liu.

At that moment, Chiyo also moved.

A spatial teleportation occurred, disappearing from Ge Bai's head and reappearing in the air to the left and behind Da Liu, where it stood still.

Although Chiyo wasn't particularly large, she had a lot of people staring at her.

"Wow, the Time Soil Reserve of the Jinggang Spiritual Plant Research Institute looks quite abundant. It even has ancient weeping willows and Cymbidium goeringii."

Ping Ningyan didn't need the Time-bound Soil, but looking at Chiyo standing steadily in mid-air, she couldn't help but marvel at the wealth and power of the Jinggang Spiritual Plant Research Institute.

Zheng Mingchun finally spoke up, offering a fair and pertinent remark.

"The soil of time can indeed achieve amazing results when used on space-type spiritual plants."

The two coaches could only sigh.

The plant masters in the stands, led by Chu Qiang, were green with envy.

[Soil of Time! This is definitely Soil of Time! She has two more!]

Chu Qiang felt that his envy and jealousy were about to distort him.

Those off the field could only sigh and envy.

Yin Qilan, who was on the field, personally felt the pressure.

Looking up at Chiyo in mid-air, she always felt a sense of unease.

"Jixiang, deal with that orchid first!"

"List!"

Upon hearing the Beastmaster's instructions, the Steelwing Eagle did not hesitate and charged straight at Chiyo in mid-air.

With its wings retracted, its beak sharp as a blade, the eagle's body is streamlined.

If Chiyo were to be pecked by an eagle's beak, she would surely be seriously injured.

"Da Liu."

"clear."

Chiyo remained steadily at a distance, while simultaneously sending a telepathic message to Oyanagi.

Chiyo, suspended in mid-air, remained motionless, even her sword still, her eyes fixed intently on the steel-winged eagle charging towards her.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

30 meters, 20 meters, 5 meters.

Chiyo used her ultimate skill, channeling her spiritual power at the last second to teleport!
