Chapter 63

Not far away, Huachenshan saw Ge Bai lecturing her own Pet Beast and came over like a climber.

"Coach Ge, you can't just talk about your own Pet Beast; give some feedback on our You Hu too."

It must be said, Huachenshan's thick-skinned appearance was really hard to look at.

Ge Bai was speechless. She didn't know to what extent other coaches commented on their sparring subjects, or whether it was appropriate to be harsh or light.

Seeing Ge Bai hesitating, Huachenshan quickly said, "It's fine, it's fine. Say whatever you have to say, don't be polite."

"Are you sure? Then I'll really say it."

Ge Bai thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

"Mm-hmm." Huachenshan not only looked at Ge Bai with anticipation but also dragged You Hu, who was lying to the side, over.

"The training volume is too low, the gradual progress is too slow, the pressure given is insufficient. It needs to be trained ruthlessly."

Indeed, this kind of "feeding moves" sparring is far inferior to sparring with wins, losses, and the risk of injury.

"Meow-ow!"

Upon hearing this, You Hu immediately began to howl in dissatisfaction. He knew very well that coming to the martial arts hall for sparring was different from 1v1 duels!

Hearing Ge Bai say this, Huachenshan wilted a bit and sighed.

"Sigh, I know. Perhaps persuading You Hu to come to the martial arts hall for sparring was already very difficult."

Heaven knows what price he paid to coax You Hu.

Persuading You Hu to fight one 1v1 wasn't easy, let alone persuading him to fight one after another all day long.

Seeing this, Ge Bai stopped persuading. Everyone has their own path; fortunately, she didn't have to worry so much about her own.

She spread her hands and called Da Liu and Qian Dai to prepare. Huachenshan also shouted for You Hu to return to the starting position. Might as well keep sparring; it's better than not training at all.

Just after Ge Bai finished speaking, Da Liu and Qian Dai were clearly more focused.

The most eye-catching highlight of every round was always the Qian Dai Sword after the Space Shift and Da Liu's response.

Although he wasn't slacking off on You Hu, in the sparring between the three Pet Beasts, he actually seemed like an extra.

Two hours had just passed, and You Hu was more excited than anyone. He ignored his Beast Master and rushed toward the exit of the training ground, standing at the door and howling for Huachenshan to hurry up.

Ge Bai shook her head helplessly. A lynx that just wants to lie flat and can't be helped.

The intellectual beauty Beast Master Zhou Er and her Xiao Kui Hua Feng Tou Ying had arrived long ago. While waiting for Ge Bai outside the training room, they watched several rounds of You Hu's sparring.

As soon as it ended, Zhou Er walked in with the flower goose.

"I just saw your Weeping Ancient Willow and this orchid sparring with the lynx together. Do I need to pay extra? We also want to switch to this mode."

Regarding Zhou Er's request, Ge Bai was naturally happy to agree.

"No extra charge, just follow the original agreement. It's mainly because my Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan wants to play along."

Zhou Er pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, "I have one small request: please communicate with the Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan to use the teleportation skill randomly, rather than sending all skills that trigger Space Distortion to the Weeping Ancient Willow."

Ge Bai was surprised for a moment; she remembered that this flower goose also didn't like training.

But she didn't forget to carefully explain the Qian Dai Sword to Zhou Er, "If you get hit, the injury won't be too light."

Zhou Er nodded affirmatively, stroking the flower goose's head, and the flower goose let out a soft cry in response.

"Yingka!"

"No problem. I've talked it over with the flower goose. It's convenient to book a healer within the Yunhe Wuguan; we can afford such injuries."

"Only with pressure will there be rapid progress."

Since it was clarified beforehand, then let's do it.

Ge Bai summoned Xiao Tao. Three Pet Beasts—no, four Pet Beasts—were having a great time training in the arena.

Hu Ming of the Yunhe Wuguan heard that Ge Bai's client had booked a healer and came over to check, feeling a bit uneasy.

Ge Bai happened to call him over.

"Does the Yunhe Wuguan have Pet Beasts that have just passed the Transcendence Realm—um, just reached the First Tier—to act as sparring partners?" Ge Bai was actually more used to the new terminology for Pet Beast levels, but considering the Alliance hadn't announced it yet, she changed her wording.

Hu Ming was a bit surprised, "Must it be a Pet Beast that just reached the First Tier? Is it for sparring with Da Liu? Won't the level be a bit high? The First Tier and Zero Tier are completely different."

Ge Bai nodded. She hadn't forgotten the system task: defeat or repel a First Tier Pet Beast 10 times. Her completion rate was still zero.

Only 13 days left.

If this task was quite difficult for Da Liu and Xiao Tao before, now with Qian Dai added, it wasn't so out of reach.

Hu Ming frowned and thought for a while.

"In my impression, the martial arts hall has First Tier Primary Pet Beasts registered as sparring partners. I need to check the specific level and attributes carefully. Please wait a moment."

Saying this, Hu Ming immediately turned and returned to the front desk, and soon brought Ge Bai a form.

It listed the information for two Pet Beasts.

One was the Green Shell Water Arrow Turtle she had seen on her first day at the Yunhe Wuguan, Transcendence Realm Level 3. Main attack skills: Water Bullet, Turtle Shell Spin. Note: Excellent defense.

The second was the Bing Shuang Jing Ling, Transcendence Realm Level 4. Main attack skills: Blizzard, Cold Rain. Note: Excellent agility.

There wasn't much room for choice. Actually, Ge Bai wasn't particularly satisfied with either of these opponents.

The Green Shell Water Arrow Turtle's shell was too thick, and it wasn't used to attacking actively.

Although the Bing Shuang Jing Ling's note said it had good agility, it was actually in a semi-stealth state after releasing skills, making it hard to catch.

Although it wasn't that she couldn't handle them, if she could choose a sparring partner, Ge Bai still wanted to pick a high-tier opponent that Da Liu and the others could fight more smoothly.

"Currently, the martial arts hall only has these two Pet Beasts that meet your requirements." Hu Ming saw Ge Bai frowning and felt helpless.

"Ge Bai, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, Xiaolajiao's clear voice came.

Ge Bai looked up and saw the fire-red Ran Caijiao bouncing toward them.

She patted Hu Ming on the shoulder, leaned in toward Ge Bai, and stretched her head to look at the paper in Ge Bai's hand.

"Are you picking a sparring opponent? A First Tier one? It's only been a few days, and Da Liu already needs a First Tier sparring partner?" Ran Caijiao recognized this as the standard information sheet for the Yunhe Wuguan's sparring Pet Beasts and immediately guessed what Ge Bai wanted to do, exclaiming in surprise.

Ge Bai didn't explain in detail, brushing it off: "Contracted a new Pet Beast, want to train the coordination of a few Pet Beasts, challenging a First Tier Primary one is about right."

After hearing Ge Bai's explanation, Ran Caijiao nodded; that made more sense.

"There are very few First Tier Primary Pet Beasts in the martial arts hall. If you want to spar, I actually know a place that might be suitable for you."

"Where?"

Ge Bai's eyes lit up.

Ran Caijiao didn't keep her in suspense, "The city-level arena tournament auditions have already started. Didn't you know?"

District arena tournament auditions?

Ge Bai looked bewildered; she really didn't know.

Ran Caijiao continued, "Sigh, I've been so busy I've forgotten. You don't know, but several high schools in Jinggang City have regulations that students who achieve certain results in the annual arena tournament auditions get extra points on their final exams, so many high school students participate in the auditions, and they are generally First Tier Primary."

"How to sign up? What's the tournament format?"

Ge Bai was very interested.
