Chapter 21: *Ding!* A mood-killing erasure

The first Wind Blade aimed at the Luxury Pig Beast's face; it lowered its head subconsciously and curled up hard.

Its body turned into a spherical state, and the charging form also transformed into spherical rolling.

"Good job!"

Jiang Yan was encouraged, waving his fists hard, as if wanting to release the pent-up anger in his chest just now.

This Luxury Pig Beast was also carefully selected by him at the Spirit Beast Hall; although it was less than one year old, it had already mastered the Luxury Pig Charge skill.

*Pop, pop*, two Wind Blades hit the Luxury Pig Beast's thorns, and another Wind Blade grazed the Luxury Pig Beast's body, barely dodged by it.

Thorns broke all over the ground, and the Luxury Pig Beast's forward speed was much slower than at the beginning.

After Da Liu was ready, he threw out consecutive Wind Blades again.

When the third Wind Blade hit the Luxury Pig Beast's thorns, it completely broke its charging form.

The Luxury Pig Beast was forced to let go of its body, but the arena diameter was only 15 meters; at this time, it had already advanced half the distance.

Dodging the next Wind Blade, the Luxury Pig Beast gathered spirit power at its tail.

The originally short tail stood high, the thorns covering the tail burst open, making the tail look even fluffier.

"Just like this! Luxury Guest, use Tail Arrow Needle!"

"*Hmph-hah. *"

The Luxury Pig Beast prepared for a moment, and several thorns on its tail flew out, shooting straight at Da Liu.

Da Liu's previous Wind Blades blocked half of the thorns in the air.

"Da Liu, Willow Whip."

"Willow Ancient"

Seeing the remaining seven or eight thorns approaching the willow tree, Da Liu swung the Willow Whip and knocked them down one by one.

When Da Liu was dealing with the Tail Arrow Needle, the Luxury Pig Beast also took the opportunity to approach, seeing that the distance to Da Liu was no more than a few steps.

"Luxury Guest, crash into it!"

Jiang Yan stood in the distance, shouting with all his might, his hands clenched tightly.

"Be careful, Ge Bai."

He Leyao at the edge of the arena called out anxiously, her fingertips turning white as she picked at the edge of the arena. Commotion also came from the crowd watching in the corridors and windows of the surrounding teaching buildings.

On the scene, only Da Liu and Ge Bai were exceptionally calm.

Da Liu immediately switched the spirit power operation form, pouring spirit power into the entire willow silk.

Careful observation revealed that four or five willow silk strands in all directions were shining with light full of spirit power.

These willow silk strands were hidden among the many willow silk strands flying up, ready to strike at any time.

The Luxury Pig Beast rushed into the attack range of the willow silk.

With a *swish*, two willow silk strands struck the Luxury Pig Beast from the left and right, completely sealing its path forward.

The attack range and attack power of the Willow Whip were only stronger than the Wind Blade.

One Willow Whip struck the Luxury Pig Beast's face, and another Willow Whip knocked it over to the ground completely.

Without stopping, three more Willow Whips followed immediately, whipping the Luxury Pig Beast from the left side together, knocking it flying and throwing it out of the arena range.

Jiang Yan looked at the scene before him, staring blankly at the willow tree, showing an unbelievable expression.

It wasn't until the Luxury Pig Beast's *hmph-hah hmph-hah* wails sounded that he remembered his pet beast.

"Luxury Guest!"

He hurriedly rushed off the arena, ran straight to the Luxury Pig Beast, picked it up, and poured the remaining half bottle of nutrient solution into its mouth.

The whole battle process actually only took about 5 minutes, not even as long as the time Jiang Yan spent dawdling before going on stage.

But the whole battle made the watching teachers and students boil, and discussions rose one after another.

Ge Bai didn't pay much attention to the surroundings; this victory was within her expectations.

She walked to the edge of the arena, lowered her head, and looked at the Luxury Pig Beast drinking nutrient solution in Jiang Yan's arms.

The public junior high school was not a professional battle base after all, and unlike high school, there weren't often students inviting pet beast battles, so healer resources were still a bit weak.

If the pet beast was seriously injured, that would be a bit troublesome.

Now it seemed that the Luxury Pig Beast could still drink nutrient solution, so the problem wasn't big.

Ge Bai also let go of her heart, spirit sense moved, wanting to put Da Liu into the Spirit Awareness Space.

"No, Ge Bai, I don't want to go back yet."

The Weeping Willow, which had just won a battle, was exceptionally excited; not only did the willow silk dance, but several willow silk strands also quietly wrapped around Ge Bai's arm.

Seeing Da Liu's clingy appearance, Ge Bai was also helpless. "Okay, then you transform into a mini form, hold on tight to me, we're leaving."

This time Da Liu didn't refuse, transformed into a 10-centimeter-high mini willow, and jumped onto Ge Bai's shoulder.

Ge Bai flipped, jumped off the arena, took the arm of He Leyao, who was rushing up excitedly, and walked out.

He Leyao was still preparing to mock Jiang Yan a few times, but was dragged away by Ge Bai, covering her mouth.

Losing to Ge Bai and the Weeping Willow was already a big blow to Jiang Yan; there was no need to beat a dog in the water at this time.

Just walked two steps out.

Ge Bai heard the system's mechanical voice in her head.

"System Task (Novice): Please have the host and the contracted spirit plant defeat (repel) spirit plants and spirit beasts below First Tier 100 times, and defeat (repel) spirit plants and spirit beasts above First Tier 10 times."

"Task completion time limit: 15 days."

"Task completion degree (can be queried at any time): Below First Tier (5/100), Above First Tier (0/10)."

"Task failure penalty: Erasure."

"*Tsk! *"

Ge Bai sighed, checked the time; it had indeed been exactly 24 hours since the contract with Da Liu.

But notifying a novice task at this juncture, and it was another failure erasure, was also mood-killing enough.

Ge Bai strongly suspected that this system was doing it on purpose.

What was going on with this task? Defeat? Repel? And there were already five progress points.

Thinking carefully, from yesterday to today, Da Liu had only sparred with the little monkey Jinrui and the Luxury Pig Beast.

Let's calculate, yesterday repelled the little monkey twice or three times? A bit hard to remember.

Today, this should count as repelling the Luxury Pig Beast twice, right?

If it were in a standard pet beast battle, Jiang Yan feeding the Luxury Pig Beast recovery nutrient solution for the first time would have already counted as a loss.

How exactly it was calculated, she still had to try it out properly.

Time wasn't much left; it seemed she had to go to the martial arts halls on Martial Arts Street today.

Pondering this task, Ge Bai was a bit distracted, and He Leyao noticed it.

"What's wrong, Ge Bai, what are you thinking about? You haven't told me what's going on with this Weeping Willow yet."

He Leyao recovered from the joy of Ge Bai beating up Jiang Yan and was preparing to interrogate her friend carefully.

Ge Bai also came back to her senses.

"Leyao, go back and help me hand in a leave note; throw my schoolbag to Wu Dami and the others to bring back for me; I'm not going back to the classroom."

Since she decided to go to the martial arts halls on Martial Arts Street, Ge Bai didn't hesitate at all and prepared to act immediately.

"Ah? Where are you going? How long are you asking for leave? The graduation exam is coming up soon."

Ge Bai answered selectively.

"Just ask for leave directly until the graduation exam; I won't come before the exam."

"Ah???"

He Leyao was startled by this way of asking for leave; although the graduation exam was only about a week away, was it really okay to ask for leave like this?

Ge Bai looked at her solemnly and nodded.

"Ge Bai, are you okay? I heard you and Jiang Yan fought? And it was a pet beast battle!"

Wu Dami pulled Liu Hao and ran toward this side in a hurry.

Liu Hao knew Da Liu's situation and wasn't in a hurry, being pulled forward by Wu Dami.

"Mm-hmm, it's okay, don't worry."

Ge Bai was in a hurry to go to Martial Arts Street and couldn't be bothered to comfort Wu Dami.

He Leyao started chatting with Wu Dami enthusiastically.

"You hindsight, coming so late, what can you see? Let me tell you, it was so exciting just now..."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Ge Bai gave Liu Hao a wink.

Liu Hao understood and gave her an OK gesture.

Seeing this, Ge Bai separated from the group with peace of mind and walked along the small path toward the back gate of the school.

And what she didn't know was that at this time, the video of the spirit plant and spirit beast battle had already been synchronized and transmitted to various forums, setting off a huge uproar.
