Chapter 100: War of Attrition?

~14 min read 2,741 words

Ge Bai blinked, watching Fang Miaowen walk to the spectator stands with her head drooping, looking up at Ran Caijiao counting the little girl and the big white bear, wanting to laugh but holding it back.

She wanted to watch this little episode between the cousins for a while longer, but it didn't give her much time, and the next match was about to start.

The schedule for the entire Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment was very tight.

When the referee confirmed with the four contestants respectively that they didn't need pet beast treatment and spirit power recovery, the semi-finals of the upper and lower halves were arranged on Field No. 1 and Field No. 2.

"Is anyone willing to give up the competition?"

The competition had reached this point.

This extra sentence from the referee was basically just asking for nothing.

Ge Bai walked toward Field No. 1 while glancing at Field No. 2, not knowing how they would fight.

Her gaze returned to the front, and she happened to see Shi Chenliang coming onto the stage from the other side of the field with the Empty Mirror Doll.

Shi Chenliang, Empty Mirror Doll, mirror doors of spirit power all over the field.

In the previous matches, the two of them won lightly, and most people were still confused about how they won.

In this match, Ge Bai knew in her heart that it would be hard to fight.

"You rest for a while, Qian Dai will be the main attacker in this match."

Ge Bai said to Da Liu in a low voice.

"Okay, Bai Bai." Da Liu had no opinion. "Good luck, Qian Dai."

Da Liu had always been magnanimous, and he never felt that he was superior to Qian Dai, who helped him as an assistant behind him, just because he was in the main attack position every time.

Qian Dai was high-spirited and exceptionally happy.

Although she knew very well that she couldn't compare to Da Liu in overall strength, that competitive heart was no weaker than Da Liu's.

"Bai Bai, rest assured! I will catch that doll."

Qian Dai's flower sword began to sway rhythmically.

Ge Bai shook her head slightly when she heard Qian Dai say this.

"Don't just stare at the doll, also pay attention to the mirror doors of spirit power; I think that is the key to breaking the enemy."

Just now, Ge Bai also glanced at the Empty Mirror Doll following Shi Chenliang.

Communicating with the system with her Spirit Sense, after observing, the harvest was not much.

【Species: Empty Mirror Doll (Commander Race)】

【Spirit Power Value: Transcendence Realm Level 1】

【Attribute: Space】

【Skill: Mirror Domain - Mastery. Skill Description: Construct mirror doors of spirit power, the Empty Mirror Doll can shuttle freely within the mirror, mirror proficiency is positively correlated with the Empty Mirror Doll's spirit power storage.】

【Skill: Mirror Shatter - Proficient. Skill Description: Shoot mirror fragments containing space power from the mirror door of spirit power, causing damage to the enemy.】

The system's introduction to these two skills was very simple.

The Empty Mirror Doll can shuttle freely within the mirror? This is nonsense! It seemed that if Ge Bai wanted to know more detailed information, she could only rely on Da Liu and Qian Dai to explore in the battle against the Empty Mirror Doll.

However, just from this data, it could be seen that Shi Chenliang was also a ruthless person.

The skill proficiency of that Mirror Domain was actually piled up to the mastery stage.

The proficiency of the attack skill Mirror Shatter had also reached the proficient level.

Just now, in the match between the Empty Mirror Doll and the Cloud-Eyed Tiger, Ge Bai and the others roughly saw it; the attack power of this Mirror Shatter skill could only be said to be average.

But whether it was really the case, no one could say for sure.

After all, everyone knew that space-element pet beasts were elusive, had a pile of backups, and were the most difficult to handle.

Ge Bai brought Da Liu and Qian Dai onto the stage.

After standing on the field, Da Liu still transformed back into his normal form, but he didn't step forward, choosing to stand beside Ge Bai.

Qian Dai hovered in front of Da Liu and Ge Bai.

Shi Chenliang on the opposite side of the arena raised his eyebrows slightly watching this scene.

Fighting all the way to now, this Spirit Plant Master Ge Bai made people have to pay close attention.

Da Liu's violent output shocked everyone on the field, and he had originally prepared a plan to suppress and defeat Da Liu.

But now it seemed that his and the Empty Mirror Doll's opponent was this Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan.

Shi Chenliang was a bit surprised at this time; after all, in the eyes of everyone including him, this orchid seemed to have only shown the ability of over-hard Space Shift.

Ge Bai didn't know much about him, and his understanding of Ge Bai was also general.

Forget it.

Shi Chenliang quickly let go of this matter and calmed down; he was very confident in his Empty Mirror Doll. — Battle start.

The Empty Mirror Doll and the Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan disappeared in place at the same time.

The difference was that the Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan appeared randomly in the high altitude, while the Empty Mirror Doll chose to land not far from where the Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan was last located.

Both sides showed non-negligible space-element spirit power fluctuations.

The Empty Mirror Doll left a mirror door of spirit power in front of Ge Bai and the others.

The first one! The Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan in the high altitude tried to issue a Qian Dai Sword at the Empty Mirror Doll.

This was naturally a pseudo-Qian Dai Sword.

She didn't count on this attack causing any damage to the Empty Mirror Doll at all, and didn't even count on this pseudo-Qian Dai Sword being able to touch the edge of the Empty Mirror Doll.

The facts were indeed so.

Just as the pseudo-Qian Dai Sword was about to contact the Empty Mirror Doll, it disappeared again, flashing into the door.

And this pseudo-Qian Dai Sword was stuck on the ground in front of the mirror door.

The Empty Mirror Doll, which flashed and disappeared behind the mirror door, appeared beside Qian Dai again and set up a second mirror door.

In this match, the layout of the mirror doors would definitely be more complex and gorgeous than the previous match.

In the previous match, all the mirror doors were mainly concentrated on the arena ground, presenting a plane.

But now, because both pet beasts were space-element and had the ability to stay in the air.

The mirror doors of the Empty Mirror Doll were bound to be filled everywhere in the three-dimensional space.

Qian Dai flashed back a short distance and didn't stay too far from the second mirror door.

The Empty Mirror Doll also seized this opportunity, appeared from the mirror door, and brought out a Mirror Shatter at the same time.

Mirror fragments lingering with spirit power fluctuations shot straight at Qian Dai.

Qian Dai didn't be vague either, and used another pseudo-Qian Dai Sword to steadily block the Empty Mirror Doll's attack.

This Mirror Shatter, the attack power really looked average.

War of attrition?

Ge Bai looked up at this scene, frowned, and felt a headache.

If what the Empty Mirror Doll showed now was its full true strength.

And she couldn't find a way to break the situation on her side, then if they kept grinding like this, she really didn't know who would win or lose.

But the more mirror doors the Empty Mirror Doll set up on the field, the lower their winning percentage would be.

No, there must be a flaw.

Ge Bai's brain turned very fast.

Although the Empty Mirror Doll was rare, it was just a Commander-race space-element pet beast; if the Mirror Domain was really so invincible and had no way to break it, it was impossible for her to have heard nothing about it.

This Mirror Domain must have a way to break it, let's look again! "Don't be in a hurry, Qian Dai, take your time."

Ge Bai attached much more importance to this competition than before, thought for a moment, and gave a reminder to Qian Dai.

"Seize the opportunity to attack, but don't think about winning in one hit, widen the flash distance." Ge Bai looked at the increasing mirror doors, thinking about how to break the situation while secretly worrying, always feeling uneasy in her heart.

"La, understood!"

Before Qian Dai disappeared in place, she didn't forget to shoot a pseudo-Qian Dai Arrow at the Empty Mirror Doll.

Qian Dai, who put all her mind on Space Shift, this casual strike, although it didn't hit the Empty Mirror Doll.

But because the distance between the two pet beasts was too close, the Qian Dai Sword followed the Empty Mirror Doll that disappeared into the door and passed through the mirror door together.

An unexpected scene appeared.

Originally, everyone thought that after the Qian Dai Sword passed through the mirror door, it would appear directly on the other side of the mirror door, just like the Cloud-Eyed Tiger waving its claws helplessly at the mirror door.

But such a scene didn't happen.

The Qian Dai Sword that passed through the mirror door disappeared into the door, and then instantly appeared behind the first mirror door.

The Qian Dai Sword could also borrow the space channel constructed by the mirror door of spirit power?

Yes, it was a space channel.

Don't look at the mirror doors of spirit power that the Empty Mirror Doll set up so fancy.

But in essence, it was nothing more than establishing an entrance at an anchor point in space, setting up a space channel invisible to ordinary people, and the other anchor point falling at other positions in other spaces.

And the Empty Mirror Doll used space-element spirit power to complete teleportation in the space channel he set up.

Speaking of which, his teleportation wasn't as flexible as Qian Dai's, but it didn't mean that such teleportation was inferior to Qian Dai's.

In the mirror doors that the Empty Mirror Doll set up, his teleportation consumption was bound to be much smaller than Qian Dai's Space Shift every time.

Furthermore, what made Ge Bai most uneasy was that the name of this skill was "Mirror Domain", not "Teleportation Door".

First, don't worry about so much; this unintentional Qian Dai Sword truly made Ge Bai's eyes light up.

Ge Bai keenly turned her gaze to Shi Chenliang.

Shi Chenliang, who was also staring at the field, saw the Qian Dai Sword pass through the mirror door of spirit power, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.

He also didn't expect this scene to appear, which was very unfavorable.

"Da Liu, try it, issue a wind blade at the first mirror door."

Her gaze fell on Shi Chenliang, and Ge Bai issued an instruction to Da Liu with a clear head.

"Liu Gu!"

Watching from the field, Da Liu was also a bit itchy.

Ge Bai hadn't finished speaking, and Da Liu nimbly shot a wind blade at the mirror door in front of him.

But this time, Da Liu's wind blade didn't pass through the space channel of the mirror door like the Qian Dai Sword.

It just passed through the mirror door and fell on the ground behind the mirror door.

Ge Bai pondered for a moment, patted Da Liu, didn't say anything, and cast her gaze toward Qian Dai and the Empty Mirror Doll flashing in mid-air again.

Qian Dai constantly widened the flash distance, while the Empty Mirror Doll chased behind Qian Dai, setting up mirror doors non-stop.

The two might have contact.

But it was nothing more than a pseudo-Qian Dai Sword without too strong attack power, against a Mirror Shatter that also looked like it didn't have too strong attack power.

"Who do you think can win?"

Ping Ningyan, who was leaning on the railing of the rostrum, hugged her arms and watched this field with interest.

Although the match between the Long family boy and Yi Kaijun in the next field had also started, both sides were still in the stage of testing each other.

It was far from as gorgeous as it looked here.

Yes, the match between Ge Bai and Shi Chenliang couldn't be called wonderful, but the field was filled with mirror doors that were dreamlike in themselves, and some could refract gorgeous brilliance from different angles.

Obviously, this field looked more dreamy, coupled with the two little ones flashing high and low, inevitably attracting the gaze of most of the audience in the venue.

"The level is too average."

Coach Zheng Mingchun looked at the two pet beasts flashing in the air with a straight face and gave a not-so-high evaluation.

"Are you so strict, Coach Zheng?"

Ping Ningyan always had a smile, looking nonchalant.

"What kind of thing is this fight? It looks fancy, what's the difference from children playing house?"

Coach Zheng Mingchun frowned and shook his head.

"Hey, aren't they all still children."

Dissatisfied with Ping Ningyan's tolerance, Zheng Mingchun frowned tightly. — Behind the spectator stands.

Principal Hu Shuo and Professor Luo Wan's focus was also on Ge Bai and Shi Chenliang.

"These two little guys are fighting cautiously."

Principal Hu Shuo's evaluation was much more tactful, but Professor Luo Wan shook his head directly.

"Ge Bai has fallen into a disadvantage. If she still can't quickly figure out the way to break the mirror door, once the Empty Mirror Doll finishes setting up the mirror array, she will lose."

"Not necessarily, there should still be some anti-strike ability."

Principal Hu Shuo responded with a chuckle.

Obviously, these two knew much more about the Empty Mirror Doll than Ge Bai. — "It looks very powerful, but why does it always feel like it's dawdling?"

Fang Miaowen had just seen the semi-finals of the two fields start, and hurriedly sat upright, pretending to be focused, which made Ran Caijiao not have much to say to her.

Glancing at the field, then glancing at her cousin, Ran Caijiao asked.

"It's not time yet, but it looks like it's coming soon."

Hearing her cousin say this, Fang Miaowen became energetic.

"Are you optimistic about Shi Chenliang?"

"Judging from the current situation, Da Liu and Qian Dai of Ge Bai indeed have no way to deal with the Empty Mirror Doll, right?"

Ran Caijiao sold a suspense.

"Seems like it." Fang Miaowen said hesitantly, but this was indeed the reality. "But after consuming to the end, it's not necessarily Ge Bai and the others who lose."

"You think this is a war of attrition."

Ran Caijiao looked at Fang Miaowen sideways, with

Fang Miaowen widened her eyes, looking innocently at her cousin.

"Isn't it?"

Shaking her head, Ran Caijiao didn't want to pay any attention to her cousin at all.

She sighed inwardly; Fang Miaowen really couldn't rank in the top four of Jinggang No. 1 High School's combat power for this year, far worse than she herself had been back then. —— On the field.

Watching the high and low mirror doors that had already spread across more than half the field, the feeling of unease in Ge Bai's heart kept accumulating; she even felt a trace of irritation, something she hadn't felt in a long time.

Being able to fight until now, she absolutely did not believe that Shi Chenliang relied on attrition to win every time.

The First Tier Transcendence Realm Empty Mirror Doll, although it only displayed two skills.

Its strength must not be as ordinary as what was currently shown; she just hadn't seen the hidden trump cards they were holding back.

Just like her own Qian Dai, let alone a trump card, even the true Qian Dai Sword hadn't been unleashed in this match yet.

No, this absolutely cannot go on like this.

At this moment, Shi Chenliang was also sending a telepathic message to his Pet Beast.

"Shuiyue, stop playing, speed up the progress."

"Jing."

The Empty Mirror Doll chirped in a relaxed and leisurely manner.
