106. Chapter 105: Xiao Tao's Debut

Just now, as soon as the match between Ge Bai and Shi Chenliang ended, Professor Luo Wan and Principal Hu Shuo stood up and walked toward the arena.

When Professor Luo Wan reached the edge of the arena, Da Liu's healing had just finished.

Ge Bai, who had been restless with worry for Da Liu, let out a long sigh of relief as if finding a savior the moment she saw Professor Luo Wan.

She looked toward Professor Luo Wan with a gaze filled with worry.

Professor Luo Wan patted Ge Bai on the shoulder, then squatted down, circulated the Spirit Power within his body, reached out to touch Da Liu, and attempted to communicate using his Spirit Sense.

A moment later, Professor Luo Wan withdrew his hand.

He said to Ge Bai in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, it's fine. He has entered a state of deep meditation."

"Return him to your Spirit Awareness Space. Observe his state every so often. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to wake up within 24 hours."

Professor Luo Wan sighed inwardly at the good fortune of Ge Bai and Da Liu; Da Liu was still only a Mortal Spirit Realm Spirit Plant, yet it could comprehend a rudimentary domain so early.

To be able to enter a state of deep meditation after comprehending a rudimentary domain—one had to praise Da Liu for having excellent aptitude.

These two things were rare on their own; encountering them in succession was something one could only hope for but not seek.

Professor Luo Wan, being knowledgeable and experienced, briefly explained the relevant principles to Ge Bai.

This was because he saw that Ge Bai was truly too worried, and he feared that if he only told her Da Liu was fine, she wouldn't be able to set her mind at ease.

Only after hearing these extra words from Professor Luo Wan did Ge Bai finally feel completely at ease and return Da Liu to her Spirit Awareness Space.

"Chief Referee, I request a match arbitration. I demand a re-verification of the issues regarding Student Ge Bai's high-speed Spirit Power recovery on the field."

At this moment, Shi Chenliang solemnly and loudly filed his request.

After the healer had cast two healing spells in succession, the injuries of the Kongjing Doll lying in Shi Chenliang's arms had stabilized.

The explosion wounds, which had originally been deep enough to reach the bone, had been mostly repaired.

Although the Kongjing Doll still looked somewhat weak, it was actually out of life-threatening danger and just needed to go back and recuperate quietly.

After the recent failure, Shi Chenliang had already calmed his emotions.

Even though he saw Principal Hu Shuo standing at the edge of the field and coaches Zheng Mingchun and Ping Ningyan walking down from the podium toward this side, he acted as if he hadn't seen them at all.

He stared calmly at the teacher serving as the chief referee for this match, his voice carrying a hint of seriousness and coldness.

Indeed, applying for post-match arbitration was his right; it didn't matter who was watching.

"Student Ge Bai's Pet Beast used Spirit Power recovery items at least three times during the battle; it should be some kind of fruit."

Shi Chenliang added.

He was indeed very curious to know what kind of thing the Spirit Power recovery material Ge Bai used was.

It must be said, his eyes were sharp.

Qian Dai had indeed taken three Spirit-Restoring Peaches from her space bag, using one on herself and two on Da Liu.

The chief referee was clearly someone who had seen big scenes; hearing Shi Chenliang's appeal, he was not flustered in the slightest, nodded at him, and cast his gaze toward Ge Bai.

Even if Shi Chenliang hadn't mentioned it, re-verifying sudden situations on the field was a mandatory procedure anyway.

Professor Luo Wan wore a smile and stood to the side without saying a word; how could he not understand Xiao Tao's situation?

It was just that the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute had been too busy lately, so they hadn't announced the situation of this Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree that Ge Bai had contracted. The others, however, all focused their gazes on Ge Bai, showing great curiosity about the peach in her arms.

Ge Bai appeared completely indifferent. Ever since she became a Spirit Plant Master and contracted Da Liu, Xiao Tao, and Qian Dai, she had frequently been the center of attention and was already accustomed to this atmosphere.

While she couldn't yet say she was unfazed by favor or humiliation, she was at least capable of handling it with ease.

Ge Bai gently touched Xiao Tao, spoke a few words to her in a low voice, and seeing Xiao Tao nod, she held her up a little higher.

"This is the Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree I contracted. She awakened a skill called Spirit-Restoring Peach. After using it, it can quickly recover a Pet Beast's Spirit Power."

"What Qian Dai and Da Liu used on the field just now were these Spirit-Restoring Peaches."

As Ge Bai spoke, Xiao Tao cooperated by circulating her Spirit Power and, in front of everyone, condensed another Spirit-Restoring Peach.

Ge Bai picked the Spirit-Restoring Peach from Xiao Tao's branch and handed it to the chief referee.

The chief referee took the Spirit-Restoring Peach with both hands and called over two healers to study it together.

"That's impossible. I know about the Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree as a Spirit Plant; the fruit it condenses has the effect of slowly increasing a Pet Beast's Spirit Power, but the intensity doesn't reach the level of being used as a recovery potion on the field!"

Chu Qiang had already darted to the first row of the spectator area; he was truly too curious about these few Spirit Plants of Ge Bai's.

Before the chief referee could announce the result, he couldn't help but interrupt.

Actually, what he said was correct, but what he knew was an ordinary Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree.

Just like the Black Card Fruit that Wu Dami contracted in the Spirit Plant Garden, there was actually a stable supply of seedlings for the Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree.

Hearing someone question it, Professor Luo Wan frowned slightly and then spoke up.

"The Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree that Ge Bai contracted is different; it is a Commander bloodline Spirit Plant."

"From the perspective of gene sequencing, the Spirit-Restoring Peaches she condenses are completely different from those of ordinary Golden Powder Peach Demon Trees, and they indeed have the effect of quickly recovering Spirit Power."

"Some time ago, the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute conducted a comprehensive measurement of this Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree. Relevant information regarding the Spirit-Restoring Peach will be sent to Jinggang No. 1 Middle School later; our institute endorses the authenticity of the measurement results."

Since Professor Luo Wan had said so, what else was there to question?

Upon hearing Professor Luo Wan say this, the chief referee exchanged a look with the two healers.

Both healers nodded; they had indeed felt a strong fluctuation of Spirit Power from this fruit, and there was no problem.

Now that both healers had given a positive answer and there was an endorsement from a bigwig at the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute, there was naturally no problem.

The chief referee calmly glanced at his own principal, and seeing him standing there with a smile, without any extra indication, he steadied his mind and said to Shi Chenliang.

"The appeal is dismissed. Spirit Plant Master Ge Bai's use of Spirit Power recovery fruits condensed by her contracted Pet Beast during the match falls within the scope permitted by the rules and does not constitute a violation."

As he spoke, he handed the Spirit-Restoring Peach back to Ge Bai.

Ge Bai took the Spirit-Restoring Peach and, along with the one in her pocket, handed them to Qian Dai on her shoulder, letting her put them into the space bag, while secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that she felt bad about the Spirit-Restoring Peach being used up, but Xiao Tao really disliked others using her fruit. If she had been forced to use the Spirit-Restoring Peach on the spot to distinguish its authenticity, she wouldn't have known how to persuade Xiao Tao.

The current result saved Ge Bai a major headache.

Thinking this, Ge Bai cast a grateful look toward Professor Luo Wan.

No one noticed that Chu Qiang in the stands had his mouth wide open and had already turned to stone. (End of chapter)
