Chapter 66: Wasn't it already known that the general environment is bad? [Activity Bonus 6]
It was just as Ge Bai expected.
The high-jumping Dushuwa used the Sticky Tongue skill again.
In this round, the Ghost-faced Butterfly, which was already in poor condition, couldn't dodge in time and was firmly entangled by the Dushuwa's Sticky Tongue and dragged back to the ground.
The Ghost-faced Butterfly, bound by the Sticky Tongue, struggled desperately. The Dushuwa instinctively retracted its Sticky Tongue, opened its mouth wide, and assumed a posture ready to swallow it whole.
"Concede! We concede!"
The Ghost-faced Butterfly's Beast Master shouted at the referee, who immediately appeared on the field.
The Dushuwa must also participate in battles frequently; seeing this scene, it didn't continue to retract the Sticky Tongue, but it didn't let go of the Ghost-faced Butterfly either.
It remained binding the Ghost-faced Butterfly, looking at the referee, waiting for its victory to be announced.
"Winner, Milk Dushuwa."
Only after hearing this did the Dushuwa let go of the Ghost-faced Butterfly.
At this moment, the Ghost-faced Butterfly was covered in mucus, its wings and antennae drooping, lying motionless on the field.
The Beast Master rushed to its side, and at the same time, the tournament's healers were not slow to react; they arrived almost simultaneously with a stretcher, and several people quickly took the wilted Ghost-faced Butterfly to the backstage.
After both Beast Masters left the field, staff members brought Pet Beasts onto the field to perform a comprehensive cleaning of the ground and the air.
The two sides for the next match were already waiting on the sides.
The entire process was extremely smooth, as if it had become a fixed procedure.
In less than 5 minutes, this field could proceed to the next match.
"The progress is so fast."
Ge Bai couldn't help but marvel.
"That's natural, it's an audition," Xiaolajiao answered without looking back.
Ge Bai followed her gaze to the match field on the left, where one side's Pet Beast was a giant ape-like creature. No wonder Xiaolajiao was so focused.
She couldn't just watch by herself. Ge Bai suddenly remembered that she had to call out Da Liu and the others; watching more matches could also help accumulate combat experience.
Thinking this, she summoned Da Liu and Qian Dai.
Xiao Tao was better left alone; she liked to sleep at this time every day, and she was afraid she would whine if she were forced out. Anyway, she didn't expect Xiao Tao to go on the field.
"Bai Bai, is this the arena tournament you mentioned this morning?"
Da Liu, standing on Ge Bai's shoulder, waved its willow branches, looking left and right; its eyes couldn't take it all in.
Qian Dai was even more excited; she jumped directly onto the back of the front row. She felt it still wasn't enough, and with a flash of Spirit Power, she prepared to use Space Shift to watch the match from a higher position in mid-air.
Fortunately, Ge Bai was quick-witted and grabbed her.
"Little ancestor, behave yourself."
Qian Dai was still a bit unhappy, twisting in Ge Bai's hand.
"Be good, don't rush, there will be a time for you to go on the field."
Hearing Ge Bai say this, Qian Dai wasn't as restless anymore. She glanced at Da Liu standing on Ge Bai's shoulder, then chose to jump onto the top of Ge Bai's head.
Compared to an orchid floating in mid-air, Ge Bai would rather she stand on top of her head right now.
After all, there were quite a few Beast Masters around holding mini-sized Pet Beasts, and some larger Pet Beasts occupied a spot alone.
Looking around the spectator area, the occupancy rate was about 60%.
Searching carefully, one could also see some Spirit Plant Masters with contracted Spirit Plants, but it was unclear whether these Spirit Plant Masters were here to watch the match while participating or were specifically here to watch the match.
"Caijiao, are there many Spirit Plant Masters participating in the arena tournament? What's the approximate ratio?"
Thinking of this, Ge Bai asked Xiaolajiao.
"Not many. There are still some Spirit Plant Masters registering during the audition period, but their combat power is generally not high."
"I remember that among the 152 players in the last city-level arena tournament, there were only a dozen or so Spirit Plant Masters. No Spirit Plant Master in our Jinggang City got a spot in the provincial arena tournament, but it seems there were some in other cities."
Every city-level arena tournament had 152 players, 128 of whom were selected through the audition tournament. The remaining 24 were seeded players who entered directly, like Xiaolajiao and Zhou Er.
"I have a general idea of the seeded players this year; there are no Spirit Plant Masters. You can check the current top 128 in the audition tournament to see if there are any Spirit Plant Masters," Xiaolajiao suggested to Ge Bai.
Ge Bai thought it was reliable, so she took out her mobile terminal and found the tournament's official online release channel.
She took a rough look, and the situation was about the same as what Xiaolajiao said. Among the current 128 qualified players for the audition tournament, there were only a dozen or so scattered Spirit Plant Masters.
Their rankings were generally low, and not a single one had entered the top 50.
Fine, Spirit Plant Masters' combat power was generally not strong. Wasn't it already known that the general environment was bad?
After understanding this, she put the matter aside and focused more seriously on the match.
After a few matches, Ge Bai clearly noticed that both Da Liu and Qian Dai were getting restless, becoming increasingly excited and eager to make a move.
Just then, Ge Bai's mobile terminal rang.
The tournament organizers notified her to wait at the designated location at the B-zone match field within 10 minutes.
It's time!
After greeting Xiaolajiao, Ge Bai got up and left with Da Liu and Qian Dai.
"Good luck, Ge Bai."
Xiaolajiao knew Ge Bai was playing it safe this time, and her opponent was only around Level 4 of the Mortal Spirit Realm, so she wasn't worried about her at all, saying goodbye in a relaxed and enthusiastic manner. —— "Hello, I am player number 1298, Ge Bai."
Arriving at the waiting area, Ge Bai found the staff and showed her player credentials.
"Name: Ge Bai, Level: Mortal Spirit Realm Level 4, Spirit Plant Master? Registered Pet Beast: Weeping Willow?"
The staff in the waiting area didn't even look up, directly entering Ge Bai's player number into the handheld control panel and reading out Ge Bai's information according to the display screen for the final check before going on the field.
This was a normal procedure, but as they read, the staff's tone involuntarily rose.
When they read "Spirit Plant Master," the staff couldn't help but look up at Ge Bai.
By the time they read "Weeping Willow," their tone was already wavering.
There were quite a few players in the waiting area, and they had already cast curious glances one after another.
Ge Bai was already unfazed by this situation, just smiling and watching the staff.
"The information is correct."
Anyway, she was going on the field soon, and she was too lazy to say even one extra word.
The staff in the waiting area weren't very good; they didn't have the same quality as the staff at the registration point, Ge Bai judged silently in her heart.
Seeing Ge Bai calm as usual, the staff coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Oh, uh, okay."
Afterward, they hurriedly flipped through the handheld control panel and continued to perform their duties.
"Your opponent is Mortal Spirit Realm Level 4 Beast Master Min Xuesheng, registered Pet Beast: Thunder Flame Patterned Rabbit."
"Please wait at the No. 1 waiting spot. The next match is the duel between you and Beast Master Min Xuesheng."
Ge Bai nodded and walked to the waiting spot, standing still.
From this position, she could barely see the situation on the field, but she couldn't see her opponent; the other Beast Master was waiting at the other end of the field.
"Winner: Nether Hidden Spirit."
At this moment, the referee's voice came from the field.
"Prepare yourself, it's your turn. You can enter the field when the prompt sounds."
The staff also reminded Ge Bai at the right time.
Ge Bai took a deep breath, tilted her head to look at Da Liu on her shoulder, and then took Qian Dai off her head and held her in her arms.
When she heard the "beep" sound, she immediately held her head high and walked into the match field with big strides.
Ge Bai's first public arena tournament match had begun.
