Chapter 94: Space Binding! GET! 【Two-in-One】

Ge Bai had looked over the materials on this side enough; she had selected a certain quantity of Empty Meteor Fragments and Lost Space Nets in the Spirit Plant Research Institute's resource repository, and could place the order at any time.

According to the rules, the resource repository's backend pre-locked the resources Ge Bai had selected. Although the Lost Space Nets were unlimited, the Empty Meteor Fragments were sometimes out of stock.

As it happened, Professor Luo Wan was also browsing the repository at this moment. Discovering that Ge Bai had pre-ordered two types of space-element resources, he naturally thought that she was likely planning to build a Spirit Power Room for Qian Dai as well.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion; this little girl was truly willing to spend a fortune on cultivating spirit plants.

Pulling up Ge Bai's spirit plant resource purchase history, Professor Luo Wan also discovered that after this wave, Ge Bai would likely spend all of the 10 million previously allocated to her.

Leaning back in his chair, Professor Luo Wan seriously considered how he could provide Ge Bai with another batch of resources within the rules.

Special Recruitment!

Soon, he thought of the Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment that Ge Bai was about to participate in.

He knew Hu Shuo, the old principal of Jinggang No. 1 Middle School; that man was also someone wealthy, generous, and fond of supporting students.

Thinking of this, he immediately made a call to Principal Hu Shuo.

"What good things have you prepared for the outstanding students in this year's special recruitment?"

Since even Fang Miaowen knew about this, how could Professor Luo Wan not know his old friend's habits of many years?

"Has the sun risen in the west? With the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute being so big and wealthy, why are you eyeing my scraps?"

Hu Shuo picked up the phone, thinking Luo Wan had some other business with him.

Usually, out of ten calls, five were asking him to cooperate on spirit plant research, three were asking him to go to a Secret Realm, one and a half were asking if he had encountered any unusual spirit plants on the battlefield or in a Secret Realm recently, and only the remaining half were for idle chatter.

Today's call could already be considered idle chatter.

"One of our institute's outstanding Spirit Plant Masters is participating in your Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment this year."

"Ge Bai?"

Although there were many students participating in the special recruitment this year, Principal Hu Shuo still had an impression of the few seed players.

"Yes."

"She's a very active and energetic little girl," Principal Hu Shuo said with a chuckle. "A Space Realm Fragment—I've prepared that as the first-place prize this year."

He had already let the word out that this year's reward was a space-element resource; there was no need to hide specifically what it was from Luo Wan.

Hearing him say this, Professor Luo Wan was silent for a moment. "A Level 5 space resource? Have you struck it rich?"

"Shi Ming's son is also coming to study at Jinggang No. 1 Middle School this year. He pestered me for two months, insisting I take this out as a reward to motivate his son."

Principal Hu Shuo rolled his eyes and explained the reason.

"You also know that when I went into that Secret Realm with him, Shi Ming put in quite a bit of effort to obtain this Space Realm Fragment."

Hearing Principal Hu Shuo say this, Professor Luo Wan felt relieved.

A Space Realm Fragment was a Level 5 or even Level 6 space-element resource; not only was it of immense value, but it also involved the secrets of the Space Realm.

If Hu Shuo hadn't said it himself, he never would have imagined that the first-place prize for a mere special recruitment exam would be this.

Originally, the intention behind his call was much the same as Shi Ming's—worrying that Hu Shuo wouldn't be able to bring out anything good, and preparing to reserve something for Ge Bai.

Now it was settled; the reward was guaranteed to be 100% good, it just depended on whether Ge Bai could win it.

"Since it's a reward, you must follow the rules."

Professor Luo Wan gave a chuckling reminder.

"That goes without saying," Principal Hu Shuo said candidly. "However, do you really think Ge Bai can snatch first place in the Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment?"

"Wait and see."

Professor Luo Wan kept him in suspense; he felt that Ge Bai, who often brought him surprises, would be no exception this time.

"Leave me a seat for the finals."

He prepared to set aside time to go to the scene and watch the young people's competition.

"I'll leave you a seat on the rostrum; will you sit there?"

Principal Hu Shuo was, of course, happy to agree.

"No, sitting on your rostrum costs a fortune."

Luo Wan knew exactly what scheme his old friend was plotting.

"Look at how stingy you are."

"Hehe."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Professor Luo Wan hung up first.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Ge Bai.

"The prize for first place in the Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment is a Level 5 Space Realm Fragment, which is very beneficial for the all-around improvement of the Qian Dai Chun Jian Lan. You must work hard."

Ge Bai, who hadn't put down her mobile terminal yet, saw this message and replied in a second.

"Understood, thank you Professor Luo Wan, I will give it my all!" — Villa No. 16, third-floor training room.

Ge Bai looked up at Qian Dai's side and discovered that things were not going particularly smoothly.

Sensing Ge Bai looking over, Qian Dai was also a bit dejected, her leaves drooping.

Had she not chosen the right sparring partner?

Ge Bai observed carefully for a while, analyzing the problem in her mind.

Initially, the thought of finding the Golden Silk Mouse to act as a sparring partner was mainly based on the consideration that they were small in size and easy to control, and frequent training wouldn't require Qian Dai to spend too much spirit power.

But now it seemed that there was a drawback to using the Golden Silk Mouse as a sparring partner: after being touched by Qian Dai's spirit power, they basically had no ability to resist.

In that case, it was actually very unfavorable for Qian Dai to feel the effect of Space Binding.

Ge Bai, realizing this belatedly, was just about to pick up her mobile terminal again to check if there were any more suitable sparring partners in the pet market, such as the Fragrant Pig? Buying another batch wouldn't be a big deal.

At this moment, Qian Dai's movements paused for a while, and she hovered in mid-air; Da Liu had sent her a telepathic message.

Da Liu had run the Meditation Technique for nine cycles in the Spirit Power Room and was preparing to come out to practice skills and adjust himself.

Qian Dai didn't think twice and directly used Space Shift to move Da Liu to the third-floor training room; she usually randomly teleported Da Liu to various training rooms in the villa anyway.

A moment later, Da Liu appeared in the center of the training room.

As soon as he stood steady, Da Liu habitually looked around, and suddenly, seeing the Golden Silk Mice scurrying everywhere on the ground, his willow threads exploded! "Qian Dai! What the hell are you doing!"

While speaking, he lifted his legs and ran toward the training room door, but unfortunately, the two little legs Da Liu had mimicked with his root system moved very slowly, stepping forward one by one in a wobbly fashion.

This group of Golden Silk Mice was also smart; having practiced with Qian Dai for so long, they had discovered that apart from feeling a bit dizzy after falling from mid-air, there was actually no real harm.

One by one, their courage was much greater than when they first arrived.

At this moment, seeing Da Liu howling, not only were they not afraid, but they even had a bit of an eager-to-try attitude as they crowded forward.

Da Liu watched these rodent creatures following him and was even more terrified.

"Qian, Qian Dai! Quick, quick, quick, shift me away."

Heaven and earth are my witness, when they first started, Qian Dai really didn't remember that Da Liu was afraid of mice.

But at this moment, her brain was working again.

Qian Dai ignored Da Liu's exclamation and quietly glanced at Ge Bai.

Who would have thought that Ge Bai was watching Da Liu flee in a panic with great interest, without any intention of intervening to help.

You know, when Ge Bai first chose the Golden Silk Mouse as a sparring partner, she meant for it to be a sparring partner for both Qian Dai and Da Liu. Ge Bai noticed Qian Dai's gaze, smiled meaningfully at her, and leaned against the wall of the training room with her arms crossed, looking exceptionally leisurely as she stood by and watched.

Seeing Ge Bai like this, Qian Dai instantly understood.

The third-floor training room wasn't big, and in just this short while, Da Liu was already almost at the training room door, shuffling his little legs.

Qian Dai didn't hesitate to cast a Space Shift on Da Liu.

Da Liu felt Qian Dai's space power, let out a long sigh of relief, and didn't resist, letting Qian Dai shift him away—anywhere was fine, anywhere was better than here! But when Da Liu regained his sense of direction, he was grieved to discover that he had appeared in this training room again, and was still in the corner furthest from the training room door.

Qian Dai was exceptionally thoughtful, placing Da Liu steadily on the ground, not giving him the slightest possibility of using the power of Time Soil to hover in mid-air.

"Qian Dai!"

Da Liu was about to collapse; there were also two Golden Silk Mice in this corner, and seeing Da Liu suddenly appear, they cautiously poked their heads out and sniffed.

"Bai Bai! Hurry up and manage Qian Dai."

The terrified and anxious Da Liu only then discovered that Ge Bai was also in the training room, and he complained to her without hesitation.

Ge Bai, who had been watching from the sidelines, smiled, her words unhurried and calm.

"Da Liu, don't be afraid. These aren't wild mice; they are pet Golden Silk Mice. Look closely, they're quite cute."

"Don't hurt them; these aren't Spirit Beasts, they can't withstand a whip from you."

Ge Bai was not only not worried about Da Liu, but even a little worried that Da Liu wouldn't be able to resist whipping the Golden Silk Mice away.

Hearing Ge Bai say this, Da Liu felt dead inside; his own Spirit Plant Master couldn't be relied upon, and now he had to rely on himself.

He wasn't willing to sit and wait for death, so he continued to shuffle his root legs and move outward.

"Bai Bai! Then tell Qian Dai not to use Space Shift on me!"

Da Liu bargained with Ge Bai while shuffling.

He knew very well that Qian Dai wouldn't let go of an opportunity to bully him.

"Fine, Qian Dai, no using Space Shift."

Ge Bai shouted to Qian Dai without a care; anyway, Qian Dai wasn't practicing Space Shift right now.

"Alright, I'll try my best."

Qian Dai's brain turned very fast in these few seconds; she was using Space Binding, right? If she accidentally shifted him, that wasn't Space Shift, it was a failed Space Binding.

Da Liu was busy observing the movements of the Golden Silk Mice and shuffling forward step by step, so he had no mind to ponder what this person and plant were talking about.

As soon as Qian Dai finished speaking, she cast another burst of space-element spirit power toward Da Liu.

Da Liu didn't trust Qian Dai this time; having finally shuffled forward two steps, he didn't want to be sent back again.

Thus, Da Liu didn't hesitate to mobilize the spirit power in his body, resisting Qian Dai's space-element spirit power, struggling desperately.

This was the feeling.

Sensing Da Liu's resistance, Qian Dai's eyes lit up; she had finally found the feeling of suppressing the Bloodthirsty Mad Hyena back then.

Qian Dai became more focused, carefully adjusting her control of the spirit power, deliberately weakening the habit of looking for a coordinate point after casting space-element spirit power, and instead putting more energy into current control and maintenance.

Da Liu also discovered that something was wrong; this didn't feel like Space Shift, Qian Dai just wanted to control him.

He struggled even more violently, not only surging spirit power to resist, but also pouring spirit power into his willow threads, attempting to physically destroy the space barrier Qian Dai had just established.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Qian Dai's spirit power paused, and Da Liu tilted forward violently.

Looking up at Qian Dai in mid-air, Da Liu didn't have time to ask what new skill she was pondering, and continued to shuffle toward the door in a panic.

"Qian Dai, try again, it's almost there."

Ge Bai, watching this scene carefully, clearly felt Qian Dai's progress; she had found the door.

Sure enough!

Bai Bai and Qian Dai were researching a new skill and even tricked him into being a sparring partner.

Da Liu looked back at Ge Bai, pouting.

But Ge Bai's skin was thick; she said to Da Liu with a grin.

"Keep it up, Da Liu, you're only a couple of steps from the door."

Not only was she not guilty, Ge Bai even had the mind to tease Da Liu.

"Are you really not considering staying and playing with the Golden Silk Mice for a while?"

Da Liu turned his head away; he really didn't want to talk to his Spirit Plant Master right now, she was too wicked!

Qian Dai knew that this time, since Da Liu had run out, he definitely wouldn't come back to practice Space Binding with her.

She immediately adjusted the flow of her spirit power and cast it toward Da Liu again.

Here it comes again.

Da Liu, bound by space-element spirit power for the second time, began to struggle skillfully.

Qian Dai also learned from the previous lesson, using space-element spirit power to quickly construct a layer of space barrier around Da Liu.

Like a cage, Da Liu frantically outputted spirit power within the space cage, even preparing to use his willow whip.

"Not enough!"

Ge Bai used her Spirit Sense to open the Spirit Plant Cultivation Manual; up to this moment, the page for Qian Dai still showed:

【Skill: Space Binding - Entry (0/100)】

Hearing Ge Bai's reminder, Qian Dai thought for a moment and constructed a second layer of space barrier outside this one.

"Wrong, Qian Dai."

Not only did Qian Dai not feel that she had mastered a new skill, but there was also no prompt in the Spirit Plant Cultivation Manual that she had mastered the skill.

It went off track.

"Qian Dai, the focus is on binding; find a way to control Da Liu's actions."

Ge Bai found the focus very keenly.

Hearing Ge Bai's analysis, Qian Dai suddenly realized.

She quickly mobilized her spirit power, adjusting the layer of space barrier closest to Da Liu more delicately, enhancing the ductility of the space barrier.

Turning the space barrier, which originally looked like a glass wall, into a soft but willful transparent film, tightly covering Da Liu.

Every branch, every willow thread, was wrapped by the space barrier.

Da Liu originally still had some room to maneuver, but the moment the space barrier finished wrapping him, he discovered that he couldn't move at all.

Not only that, even the flow of spirit power within his body was shackled.

"Ding!"

A crisp prompt sounded. 【Skill: Space Binding - Entry (1/100) Skill Level: High-Tier】

"Bai Bai! I felt it, Space Binding, I've mastered it!"

At the same time, Qian Dai shouted excitedly, jumping up and down in mid-air.

"Yes, Qian Dai is amazing."

Ge Bai didn't spare her praise for Qian Dai. ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
