Chapter 96: One-Shot Kill! 【Two-in-One】
Ge Bai had already asked clearly; this Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment was an individual competition, and the battle rules were the same as the city-level arena tournament auditions, only comparing the strength of the Beast Master/Spirit Plant Master, without limiting how many pet beasts could appear in one match.
Actually, using such battle rules here was even fairer than the city-level arena tournament auditions.
Everyone was about the same age, and in this one month, how many pet beasts one could contract and to what extent one could cultivate them was all one's own ability.
Seeing the words "Spirit Plant Master" on the big screen, whether in the field or on the stands, many gazes were cast over.
Chu Qiang even lay directly on the back of the chair in the front row, staring at Field No. 2 with a solemn expression.
He knew Ran Caijiao's personality; a captain who meant what she said wouldn't joke with him about such things.
If she said this Spirit Plant Master was powerful, then she was truly powerful, but he, Chu Qiang, wasn't a vegetarian either; he just wanted to open his eyes wide and see exactly how powerful this Ge Bai was.
Xi Chao walked onto Field No. 2 with the Fire Tail Hu Wolf, carefully sizing up Ge Bai, who was preparing to enter the field.
To be honest, he didn't expect his first opponent to be a Spirit Plant Master, and his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.
It was common knowledge that Beast Masters of the same level were stronger than Spirit Plant Masters.
At this moment, Ge Bai hadn't called out Da Liu or Qian Dai, and Xi Chao was still guessing what the opponent's contracted spirit plant was.
Devil Vine? Flame Burst Stake? But it definitely wouldn't be a purely auxiliary spirit plant.
If it were a Spirit Plant Master on a purely auxiliary route, they wouldn't come to participate in this special recruitment battle; it was more likely they would apply to join the school team after enrollment.
Unlike Fang Miaowen, who had the leisure to go watch the excitement at the arena tournament with her cousin during this month.
Xi Chao, Jiang Yan, and even most of the students in this field were in about the same situation; basically, they had all bitterly cultivated for a month to prepare for the Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment, so very few people really understood Ge Bai's battle record.
Xi Chao's Fire Tail Hu Wolf had already shaken its fur and was standing in front of its Beast Master, full of spirit.
Ge Bai stood on the field and outlined the summoning array without any rush.
Cyan summoning array.
Xi Chao, Chu Qiang, and those who cast their gaze toward this field all noticed it.
The color of this summoning array meant that this was a Spirit Plant Master who had contracted three spirit plants.
"Three? Is she crazy?" On the stands, Chu Qiang looked at Ran Caijiao with an expression of incomprehension, his face full of skepticism.
This newcomer Spirit Plant Master contracted three spirit plants in one month; she wasn't joking, right? She wasn't just making up the numbers, was she?
Although the difficulty of a Spirit Plant Master contracting spirit plants was lower than that of a Beast Master contracting spirit beasts, it wasn't that the more spirit plants contracted, the better; cultivating spirit plants was no less heart-consuming and effort-consuming than cultivating spirit beasts.
Ran Caijiao knew very well what Ge Bai's three spirit plants were, and at the same time, she understood what Chu Qiang meant, looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry, just watch slowly."
Ge Bai outlined the summoning array very skillfully, and above the cyan summoning array, Da Liu's figure gradually solidified.
Observing the surroundings, Da Liu discovered that he was already on the arena, so Da Liu didn't transform into his mini form, but appeared in front of everyone in his normal size.
"Da Liu, Wind Weaving Domain."
Ge Bai stood beside Da Liu, not even taking two steps back to the safe area where Beast Masters usually stayed on the arena, lightly stroking Da Liu's trunk, and said to Da Liu in a calm tone.
"Liu Gu!"
Da Liu had already begun to mobilize the spirit power in his body, preparing for the Wind Weaving Domain.
At the same time, Ge Bai also raised her hand to signal to the referee that they were ready.
"Battle start!"
The head referee of Field No. 2 blew the whistle.
Hearing the whistle, the Fire Tail Hu Wolf immediately flew out, dark red spirit power gathering on its limbs and tail.
When running, the fur of its drooping giant red tail was all exploded, floating with the wind.
It could be seen that as long as it rushed into attack range, it would definitely use the Fire Tail Sweep without hesitation.
Da Liu wouldn't give it this opportunity.
Before the Fire Tail Hu Wolf had run half the distance, Da Liu's Wind Weaving Domain was already prepared.
Watching the Fire Tail Hu Wolf rushing straight over, Da Liu curled his lips in disdain; there was no need to aim at all, directly throwing the wind net toward the front.
Da Liu's Wind Weaving Domain whistled out, and even the stands could feel this biting wind.
"Impossible!"
Chu Qiang, who was staring at the battle field, lost his composure as soon as he saw this wind net.
"Even if this wind net is a high-tier skill, that Weeping Willow is only at the Mortal Spirit Realm level; how can this skill intensity be so high!"
Chu Qiang was usually connected to the network; even if he didn't pay attention to the auditions of the city-level arena tournament, he would still look at the Spirit Plant Master Forum and the official announcements of the Jinggang Spirit Plant Research Institute.
The moment Da Liu appeared, he remembered.
As a Spirit Plant Master, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about contracting a Weeping Willow; he was just waiting for this batch of seedlings from the Spirit Plant Research Institute to be successfully cultivated.
As for the Spirit Plant Master who contracted the Weeping Willow? He just glanced at it at the time and didn't take it to heart.
By the time he, Chu Qiang, contracted a Weeping Willow, even if it was a year or a half late, it wouldn't matter.
Ran Caijiao watched from the side and was also surprised; Da Liu had improved again, and the power of the Wind Weaving Domain seemed even more imposing than when she saw it at the arena tournament auditions.
She glanced at Chu Qiang and said gloomily: "Mortal Spirit Realm high-level spirit power, plus a high-tier skill with esoteric proficiency, this is about the power, right."
"Esoteric?!"
Chu Qiang's face couldn't hold up anymore.
Mortal Spirit Realm spirit plant, esoteric proficiency, high-tier skill.
This was truly a formidable rival.
Chu Qiang closed his mouth tightly, staring at Field No. 2 with a solemn expression.
The speed of the Wind Weaving Domain was much faster than the Fire Tail Hu Wolf, almost instantly slamming into the Fire Tail Hu Wolf like a wind wall.
"Awoo!"
Facing Da Liu's Wind Weaving Domain, the Fire Tail Hu Wolf had no power to resist.
Pushed back by the Wind Weaving Domain, its four claws still couldn't grasp the arena ground.
The spirit power on its tail had long since dissipated, and the fur all over its body was blown into a mess by the wind.
One step, two steps, three steps...
"Fire Wolf!"
Seeing his pet beast about to be blown away, Xi Chao couldn't help but shout.
But it was useless.
The Wind Weaving Domain hit the Fire Tail Hu Wolf, still showing no signs of slowing down, rolling it away from the arena area.
Just as the Fire Tail Hu Wolf was about to hit the arena next door, the side referee of Field No. 2 acted decisively.
Rather than saying he saved the Fire Tail Hu Wolf, it was better to say he intercepted the Wind Weaving Domain.
"Round 1, Match 2, Winner: Spirit Plant Master Ge Bai." — One move, 5 seconds.
The battle in Field No. 4 hadn't even started yet.
Ge Bai had already ended the battle.
The winner of the first match of this year's Jinggang No. 1 Middle School special recruitment was Spirit Plant Master Ge Bai!
On the rostrum, Zheng Mingchun looked over here calmly, his gaze staying on Ge Bai for a few seconds before moving away to look at the other fields.
It was still early, and they had just finished one match; the level of that Fire Tail Hu Wolf's Beast Master was too average, not on the same level as Ge Bai. Running into any seed player would result in being knocked out in one move, nothing to be surprised about.
This Ge Bai, he could watch a bit more.
Ping Ningyan, standing beside Zheng Mingchun, had a much more interesting reaction, narrowing her eyes and leaning forward, resting on the railing in front of the rostrum.
"This girl is very neat; she used a high-tier skill right away, must be esoteric proficiency."
"I'm really looking forward to her."
Zheng Mingchun glanced at Ping Ningyan and didn't make a sound.
With just this one move, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ge Bai had no problem killing her way into the top 8 and getting a special recruitment spot at Jinggang No. 1 Middle School.
It just depended on how far she could go from here. — Hearing the referee's ruling, Ge Bai turned and left the field directly with Da Liu.
Da Liu had already transformed back into his mini form when he released the Wind Weaving Domain, jumping onto Ge Bai's shoulder to watch the show.
Ge Bai even glanced at Da Liu, originally wanting to nag him about being careless, but decided to hold back after thinking about it.
Da Liu looked at Ge Bai frankly, with an expression of 'go ahead and say it, if you say it, I'll talk back'.
He had clearly sensed the spirit power fluctuations of this opponent and evaluated the attack power of the Wind Weaving Domain before making a very steady decision.
Forget it.
Ge Bai didn't say a word, glanced at Da Liu, and definitely didn't give him a chance to talk back.
This broken kid had also learned to be bad now; he used to be so obedient.
When she found another good opportunity, she would settle the old and new accounts together.
Fang Miaowen was in the waiting area of Field No. 3 next door, and seeing Ge Bai come down, she waved at her excitedly.
She originally wanted to race against time to come over and say a few words, but she heard the head referee of Field No. 3 announce the end of the battle on the arena.
Fang Miaowen could only give up; it would be her turn to enter the field in the next round.
"Good luck!"
Ge Bai looked at Fang Miaowen, who was looking left and right, and shouted at her.
Hearing Ge Bai's encouragement, the little girl went onto the field happily.
The other fields didn't end slowly either; although they weren't all like Ge Bai, solving the battle in one move, there were no situations of entanglement, mostly deciding the winner within four or five rounds.
After all, as early as the drawing lots stage, the powerful players had been deliberately dispersed.
According to Fang Miaowen's original plan, she wanted to adapt to the field and the opponent, not to be so conspicuous.
But after watching Ge Bai's battle just now, the little girl was also a bit hot-blooded.
Standing on the field, without waiting for her opponent to come up, Fang Miaowen directly mobilized her spirit power and outlined the summoning array.
Purple summoning array.
She indeed only contracted this one Hanbing Baikai Xiong, Baipangzi, as a pet beast. According to their family's habit of cultivating pet beasts, she wouldn't contract a second pet beast until Baipangzi grew to a high level in the Overlord Realm.
But her Baipangzi was truly very powerful.
"Xiong!"
As soon as its figure solidified, Baipangzi keenly sensed its Beast Master's burning fighting spirit and roared loudly in cooperation.
"Baipangzi! White Bear Charge! One hit to settle it."
At this time, Fang Miaowen's opponent had also come onto the stage, also a little girl, whose pet beast had long been summoned and was by her side, currently transforming back into its normal form on the arena.
It was a Cracked Steel-Toothed Rhino, also a giant pet beast whose size was not inferior to the Hanbing Baikai Xiong.
"Whoa, the little girls this year are amazing; the pet beasts they contracted are more majestic than the last."
On the arena, many people saw the two behemoths on Field No. 3 and couldn't help but discuss them.
By now, Chu Qiang had recovered and was holding his mobile terminal, frantically searching for information on Weeping Willow and Ge Bai, striving to know himself and his enemy to win every battle.
Hearing his teammates discussing the little beauty he was paying attention to, Chu Qiang raised his head, glanced at the field, and without even turning his head, said coolly.
"Giant pet beasts and giant pet beasts are different; how could it be more powerful than our Miaowen."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and continued to brush the Spirit Plant Master Forum fiercely.
Ran Caijiao glanced at Chu Qiang with an unhappy expression; she really wanted to whip him.
How about tonight? Arrange an internal battle!
The more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt it was, so Ran Caijiao directly took out her mobile terminal and notified the news in the school team group.
"No way?! Captain, what are you doing, so sudden."
The few teammates around saw the news in the group and wailed.
Ran Caijiao smiled, looking in a very good mood.
"Don't shout! Seeing the little juniors and little juniors working so hard, don't your hands itch?"
Not caring about the wailing of her teammates, Ran Caijiao would never admit that this battle was just to beat Chu Qiang on the way.
"No, no, no."
"Not at all, we really want to watch comfortably for two days."
"Yeah, wasn't it agreed that we would rest for these two days."
The complaints were constant, but they didn't include Chu Qiang, who was staring at the Spirit Plant Master Forum; he didn't notice this at all and was studying Ge Bai's battle video frame by frame.
"You all should learn from Chu Qiang, look at how calm he is."
Ran Caijiao had no good intentions, skillfully pulling one and stepping on another, accumulating hatred for Chu Qiang.
Hearing the captain call his name, Chu Qiang looked up in confusion, looked around, and seeing the unfriendly eyes of his teammates, felt inexplicable.
Very good, now there was more than one person who wanted to beat Chu Qiang.
"Battle start!"
On Field No. 3, the Cracked Steel-Toothed Rhino and the Hanbing Baikai Xiong were both on all fours, making a charging posture.
It was also a coincidence that the main attack skills of these two pet beasts in the early stage were charge types.
A head-on collision, and who was strong and who was weak was clear at a glance.
Hearing the head referee's whistle, the two giant beasts exerted force with their hind legs almost at the same time and leaped out in big strides.
Bang! The giant beasts collided, and the huge sound echoed throughout the entire venue.
And the result of this competition was also clearly produced in this collision.
Baipangzi stood steadily in place, shaking the fur on its body, feeling effortless and exceptionally relaxed.
While the Cracked Steel-Toothed Rhino was knocked flying by Baipangzi, lying horizontally on the arena, eyes closed, hind limbs twitching.
The head referee entered the field, faced the Cracked Steel-Toothed Rhino, and counted to five silently.
"Winner: Beast Master Fang Miaowen."
Another one-hit victory.
Ping Ningyan, who was lying on the railing of the rostrum, spoke with interest, "The little kids nowadays have a lot of drive; is the smell of gunpowder so strong just as the competition starts?"
"Hmph, only knowing how to fight and be fierce won't get them far."
Zheng Mingchun looked at Field No. 3 and frowned slightly.
He knew about this child Fang Miaowen and the Hanbing Baikai Xiong; this competition could have been won more easily and steadily, why bother to bombard fist to fist. ===== CHAPTER 97 =====
