Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 79 An Exhilarating Battle [Two-in-One]

Li Yaxin couldn't help but feel fortunate that the opponent's main combat force was a weeping willow. Even with the help of a space-type spiritual plant, she didn't believe that its mobility was that outstanding.

Once we get close, things will be easier.

Da Liu was already prepared for close combat. Most of his opponents in the previous matches were good at ranged attacks, so Da Liu didn't have a very smooth time fighting them.

You should know that our Daliu is also a "violent willow".

Seeing Da Liu's eagerness, Ge Bai didn't intend to spoil his fun. If he wanted to experience the feeling of exchanging blows, then let's fight.

"Oyagi, fight with confidence, Chiyo will cover for you."

After thinking for a moment, Ge Bai added another sentence.

"If Chiyo teleports, don't be reckless. Prepare your Storm Blade Hammer and try to land a fatal blow after you teleport."

"good!"

Hearing Ge Bai say this, Da Liu was overjoyed. He knew that he would be able to fight to his heart's content in this battle.

Before Ge Bai and Da Liu could finish speaking, the Ice Armor Warrior had already rushed up to Da Liu.

The large willow tree, which had been prepared in advance, infused its spiritual power into each of its branches.

His willow whip is almost at the mastery stage, and he is only one step away from entering the ultimate stage.

The willow branches infused with spiritual power are now incredibly strong, no less so than the ice blade of the ice-armored warrior.

After rushing into the attack range, the ice-armored warrior quickly drew his sword, and without stopping, slashed forward diagonally with one hand.

The sharp, chilling blade intent sliced ​​through the air with a whistling sound. This strike was not only an extension of the Ice Blade skill, but also the culmination of the Ice Armor Warrior's long-term martial arts training.

The fact that he can unleash the intent of a sword in his strikes shows that he does indeed have some talent in martial arts.

In the audience, Little Chili, seeing this knife-like intent, sat up straighter. She had practiced Vajra Fist for many years, but had only recently mastered the essence of the fist.

Little Chili knew that Ge Bai was a cautious person, but Ge Bai hadn't let Chiyo teleport Da Liu away yet, which meant he was probably preparing to let Da Liu and the Ice Armor Warrior have a close-quarters battle.

Little Chili guessed everything correctly, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried for Da Liu.

As the sword intent struck, Da Liu did not back down.

The two willow whips were swung out in an X shape with all their might. Although they did not look as grand as the sword, a closer look revealed the afterimage of the whip tails.

A ding sound.

The sword intent was steadily blocked by the willow whip. In the tremor, the sword intent dissipated. The willow did not retreat even half a step. On the two willow branches that had swung the whip, there were only slight, inconspicuous scratches, and the damage was not significant.

"armor!"

The ice-armored warrior let out a low growl. He clearly hadn't expected Da Liu to block his sword intent so easily, showing that the opponent's close-combat attack power was also considerable.

Seeing that Da Liu had blocked the Ice Armor Warrior's sword intent, Li Yaxin frowned slightly.

In previous matches, everyone only noticed the long-range attacks of Chuisi Guliu, such as wind blades and wind-woven net domains. Even the Storm Flowing Blade Hammer, which could decide the outcome of a match in one hit, was just a flash in the pan.

The willow whips of Da Liu looked too ordinary and did not attract any attention or discussion.

Or rather, no one had previously imagined that Da Liu's willow whip could rival the ice blade of a transcendent ice-armored warrior.

After all, Da Liu didn't use the willow whip against the mechanical rat many times in the last match. Even if he used the willow whip to repel the mechanical rat, it could be understood that the mechanical rat is not known for its defensive capabilities.

"Armor Ice, be careful."

Beastmaster Li Yaxin keenly sensed that the Ice Armor Warrior was acting strangely, being overly excited and aggressive, and couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Even after hearing the beast tamer's reminder, the ice-armored warrior seemed anxious and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

He changed his posture, holding the knife with both hands, and poured spiritual power into the ice blade.

With legs slightly bent and body slightly lowered, he adopted a lunge stance, leaped forward, and charged horizontally with his sword into the dense willow branches of the large willow.

Clearly, the ice-armored warrior was prepared to charge through the dense, almost ground-hugging willow branches and pounce on the main trunk of the willow tree, aiming to decide the outcome with a single blow.

How could Da Liu let him have his way? He immediately reversed the distribution of his spiritual power, pouring a large amount of spiritual power into the willow branches that the ice-armored warrior had rushed into.

Snap, snap, snap...

The willow whip lashed mercilessly at the ice-armored warrior, one blow after another.

Despite the dense willow branches of Da Liu, he can easily manipulate each one, whether to obstruct vision, transform into a whip, or simply create an opening for attack at the last second. Not only do the branches not interfere with each other, but they also assist each other, making them exceptionally flexible.

According to the Ice Armor Warrior's plan, the swing of the willow whip would always be affected when he got close. He could rely on the ice armor with its good defensive power to withstand it and save the most powerful blow after charging up for the main trunk of the willow.

But after enduring only two lashes, the ice-armored warrior had to abandon this illusion.

The willow whips were too dense and the attack was too powerful, so he could only slash with his sword.

Li Yaxin shook her head as she watched from behind. She had never approved of the Ice Armor Warrior's reckless charge, and now he was clearly out of control.

The willow whips that lashed the ice-armored warriors grew heavier with each strike.

While the ice-armored warrior struggled to parry, he seized an opportunity to move forward step by step.

Yes, the speed and distance of that forward movement can only be described as moving.

Just one more step forward.

The ice-armored warrior struggled to lift his head amidst the willow whip. If he could get any closer, he could unleash his strongest ice blade strike on the trunk of this ancient weeping willow.

But this one step felt like an insurmountable chasm to him.

Da Liu also knew that if he let the ice-armored warriors advance any further, he would be in trouble.

At this moment, Da Liu became even more frenzied, sparing no spiritual power and disregarding his injuries, wielding his willow whip one strike after another with ferocious force.

Ge Bai couldn't help but gasp in amazement at the imposing presence of Da Liu's willow whip.

Quietly open the guide to cultivating spiritual plants.

Willow Whip - Proficient (927/1000)

+2。+5。+3。+6。+9……

At this moment, Da Liu's willow whip is definitely not just adding one skill point with each strike.

Snapped!

The ice-armored warrior, who was originally able to stand still and withstand the attack, was forced back a step by a whip.

The large willow tree that had pulled out the whip was also taken aback.

It seems that the attack power of the willow whip has suddenly increased significantly. Just now, the willow whip clearly carried wind-type spiritual energy fluctuations.

When the attack hits the Ice Armor Warrior, in addition to causing physical damage, it also causes tearing wounds from small wind blades, and you can even feel the wind-elemental energy eroding the ice armor.

Ge Bai, who had been staring at the spiritual plant cultivation guide, immediately knew what was going on.

Willow Whip - Ultimate Technique (7/10000)

The ultimate technique stage!

The skill "Willow Whip" by Da Liu has thus broken through to the ultimate level.

You should know that, let alone a transcendent-level pet beast, even a hegemon-level pet beast that can train a profound-level skill is considered to have trained quite well.

Da Liu is currently only at level 5 of the Mortal Spirit Realm. Oh, no, level 6 of the Mortal Spirit Realm.

The forging of the original skill has a significant feedback effect on the enhancement of the spiritual power of spiritual plants.

The competition wasn't over yet, but Da Liu had already gained quite a bit.

On the field, besides Ge Bai, only the Ice Armor Warrior truly understood the power of this willow whip.

His heart sank. If every whip strike from now on was this intense, he probably wouldn't be able to advance even half a step further.

With this thought in mind, the increasingly frustrated ice-armored warrior increased his spiritual energy and continued to slash and hack.

Only then did he realize that he had gone too far in, and that willow whips were everywhere—in front of him, beside him, and behind him—ready to strike at any moment.

Unable to advance or retreat, he seemed to have become a trapped beast caught in a cage.

Da Liu, on the other hand, used his willow whips to make the cage even more secure.

"Armor Ice, Round Weapon Slash."

Seeing her pet in trouble, Li Yaxin immediately called out to warn it.

The "Circular Strike" she mentioned wasn't a skill specific to the Ice Armor Warrior, but rather a ranged martial art. However, it was indeed the best way to resolve the Ice Armor Warrior's current predicament.

Upon hearing the Beastmaster's command, the Ice Armor Warrior regained some of his senses. He endured the pain, bent his knees into a horse stance, drew his sword from the left with the blade horizontal, and prepared to slash to the right.

Da Liu keenly noticed that the opponent's aura had changed. Although the fluctuation of spiritual energy was not strong when he made his move, his aura was astonishing.

The willow tree, which was originally rooted in the soil of time, quickly and cautiously took a step back.

Liu Si, who was surrounding the ice-armored warrior, also moved back a distance.

Just as Da Liu finished doing all this, he saw the Ice Armor Warrior swing his sword horizontally, spin around his right leg, and draw an arc with his ice blade, creating a clear space around himself.

The willow branches that Yuanwu had slashed broke off instantly and scattered outside the circle.

If Da Liu hadn't retreated, the damage to Liu Si from that attack would have been much greater than it is now.

Da Liu couldn't bother using her spiritual power to repair the broken willow branches. The ice-armored warrior who had just used the Round Martial Slash had a poor follow-up skill combo, revealing an obvious flaw.

Da Liu, who had been looking for an opportunity, quickly seized this opening and smashed the Storm Willow Blade Hammer, which he had been preparing for a long time, at the Ice Armor Warrior.

"Bang"

The first Storm Willow Blade Hammer of the match.

The ice-armored warrior, who was being whipped around until he was dizzy, never expected that the Great Willow would still have the strength to prepare such a powerful move.

It was also possible to perfectly seize the opening after the Round Strike.

Caught off guard, the ice-armored warrior stunnedly took the blow with his left breastplate, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, his ice armor shattering.

Starting from the chest, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the Ice Armor Warrior's entire body.

Fortunately, the Ice Armor Warrior's body structure is different from that of humans; his spiritual core is located in his dantian, and he does not have a so-called heart.

Otherwise, this attack could have sent him packing.

Even so, he still felt unwell and collapsed, vomiting large amounts of icy blue blood.

"Armor Ice!"

Upon seeing this, Li Yaxin shouted anxiously.

He clenched his fists, his right hand slightly raised, as if to signal to the referee that he had given up.

As she hesitated, the ice-armored warrior lying on the ground gripped his ice blade tightly, mobilized his spiritual power, and activated his ice and snow domain.

In this battle, the ice-armored warrior, who mainly relies on martial arts attacks, actually does not consume much spiritual energy.

Originally, the normal use of the Ice and Snow Domain was to be activated by the Ice Armor Warrior after formally engaging the enemy, allowing him to unleash skills and martial arts within the Ice and Snow Domain to suppress his opponent.

When has the Ice Armor Warrior ever felt so frustrated, turning a perfectly good high-level domain skill into a healing skill?

If other ice-armored warriors knew, they would laugh him to death.

But with the battle having progressed this far, there's really no time to worry about that anymore.

Seeing the ice-armored warrior struggling to his feet in the icy realm, supporting himself with his sword and standing still, his ice armor gradually returning to normal.

Li Yaxin, who was about to admit defeat, pressed down on her right hand, suppressing the worry in her heart.

We haven't lost yet.

The Ice Armor Warrior can fight for another round; this time, he won't leave any openings for his opponent.

Although the Ice Armor Warrior was seriously injured, Da Liu's condition was definitely not good either.

Unlike the Ice Armor Warriors who primarily use martial arts techniques, Da Liu's every wind blade, willow whip, and even the final Storm Willow Blade Hammer requires the input of spiritual energy.

Compared to the extraordinary realm, the spiritual energy reserves of the mortal realm are inherently inferior.

After fighting this far, the Ice Armor Warrior may still have a third of his spiritual energy saved, enough to support him in another round of attacks.

But Da Liu's spiritual power was truly depleted.

Should we call Xiaotao out?

Ge Bai hesitated.

According to the rules of the arena, it is forbidden to use potions or pills that restore spiritual power or life on the field.

This is understandable. If such prohibitions are not made, and players with money and power in the Alliance Coins encounter each other, they can use drugs to fight again if they can't win in one round. Where is the fairness then?

In this situation, not only will the contestants curse, but the audience will also cause trouble.

However, there is one situation that is not prohibited: when a healing-type pet uses healing or recovery skills on the field.

In particular, in battles fought by spirit plant masters and beast tamers, where there is no limit to the number of pets, as long as the pets are well-trained, allowing for 2 vs. 1 or even 3 vs. 1 battles, healing support pets appear very frequently.

In other words, the skill level of the contestants in the preliminary rounds is generally not high, and it is not easy to train healing pets, which is why there is no situation where everyone has a healing pet.

Even before reaching the interstellar arena, once the competition reaches the provincial level, unless they are players who specialize in one type and only compete in team matches, the top-ranked individual players basically all have a healing pet.

Although a single Spirit-Returning Peach could easily resolve the current predicament facing Da Liu, Ge Bai was still reluctant to summon Xiao Tao.

Before being specially recruited by Beijing-Hong Kong No. 1 High School, she most likely won't have the chance to contract another spiritual plant.

Currently, her characters Oyagi and Chiyo have been thoroughly analyzed. Momo, it would be better to keep her hidden for now and wait for the right time to use her as a cheat code.

However, Ge Bai couldn't bear to see Da Liu struggle and then be defeated, since he had finally fought his way to this point.

"DaLiu, is your spiritual power enough for a full-power Storm Willow Blade Hammer?"

After thinking it over, Ge Bai asked Da Liu in a low voice.

"enough."

Da Liu responded, his voice somewhat weak. He had quite a few broken willow branches, and although the main trunk was not damaged, he was still severely weakened.

"Just barely enough."

Da Liu added, somewhat unwilling, but he was indeed nearing his limit.

The ice-armored warrior charged again, and he wasn't confident he could stop him.

And to take a direct hit from an ice blade with his main body? If he did, he would only end up in a worse state than the current ice-armored warrior.

Sensing Da Liu's weakness and dejection, Ge Bai stepped forward and gently stroked his trunk.

"Don't be discouraged, you've done a great job! The opponent is very strong, but our Da Liu is awesome!"

This is indeed Ge Bai's true thought.

She truly hadn't expected that Da Liu could fight a Transcendent Realm melee expert to this extent.

"From now on, let's rely on our partners."
