Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 99: A War of Attrition?

Ge Bai blinked and watched Fang Miaowen walk up to the stands with her head down. He looked up at Ran Caijiao scolding the little girl and the big polar bear, and wanted to laugh, but he held it back.

She wanted to watch this little episode between the cousins ​​a little longer, but she didn't have much time before the next match was about to begin.

The schedule for the entire Beijing-Hong Kong No.1 Middle School special recruitment competition was extremely tight.

After the referee confirmed with the four contestants that they did not need pet healing or spiritual energy recovery, the semi-finals of the upper and lower brackets were arranged in venues one and two, respectively.

"Is there anyone willing to forfeit the competition?"

The competition has progressed to this point.

The referee's extra question was basically a pointless one.

As Ge Bai walked toward court number one, he glanced at court number two, wondering how their match would turn out.

Turning our gaze back to the front, we saw Shi Chenliang entering the arena from the other side with an empty mirror doll.

Auspicious time, empty mirror dolls, and a scene full of spiritual mirror doors.

In previous matches, both of them won with ease, and most people were still a little confused about how they won.

Ge Bai knew this match would be difficult.

"You take a break first, Chiyo will be the main attacker in this match."

Ge Bai whispered to Da Liu.

"Okay, bye-bye." Dairyu had no objections. "Good luck, Chiyo."

Oyagi has always been a magnanimous person, and he has never felt that he was any better than Chiyo, who played a supporting role behind him, whenever he was in the main attacking position.

Chiyo, on the other hand, was in high spirits and extremely happy.

Although she knew very well that she was no match for Da Liu in overall strength, her competitive spirit was no less than Da Liu's.

"Bye-bye, don't worry! I'll catch that doll."

Chiyo's foil began to sway rhythmically.

When Ge Bai heard Chiyo say this, he shook his head slightly.

"Don't just focus on the dolls, also pay attention to the spirit energy mirror door, I think that's the key to defeating the enemy."

Just now, Ge Bai also glanced at the empty mirror doll that was following Shi Chenliang.

After connecting with the system through spiritual awareness and observing for a while, I didn't gain much.

【Type: Empty Mirror Doll (Ruler Race)】

[Spiritual Power: Transcendent Realm Level 1]

[Attribute: Spatial]

[Skill: Mirror Realm - Mastery. Skill Description: Constructs a spiritual energy mirror gate, allowing the Empty Mirror Doll to move freely within the mirror. Proficiency in the mirror realm is positively correlated with the Empty Mirror Doll's spiritual energy reserves.]

[Skill: Mirror Shatter - Proficient. Skill Description: Shoots shards of mirror containing spatial power from the spiritual mirror gate, dealing damage to enemies.]

The system's descriptions of these two skills are very simple.

Can an empty-screen doll move freely inside a mirror? Isn't that obvious?

It seems that if Gobai wants to know more detailed information, he can only hope that Oyagi and Chiyo will figure it out during their battles with the Empty Mirror dolls.

However, this data alone shows that Shi Chenliang is a ruthless person.

He managed to reach the mastery level in that mirror field skill.

The skill proficiency level for the Mirror Shatter attack skill has also reached proficiency.

Just now, in the battle between the Empty Mirror Doll and the Hanging Eye Tiger, Ge Bai and the others roughly saw that the attack power of this Mirror Shatter skill can only be described as average.

But whether this is actually the case, no one can say for sure.

After all, everyone knows that space-type pets are elusive and have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, making them the most difficult to handle.

Gobai entered the arena with Oyagi and Chiyo.

After stepping onto the field, Da Liu transformed back into his normal form, but instead of stepping forward, he chose to stand beside Ge Bai.

Chiyo was suspended in mid-air directly in front of Oyanagi and Kaho.

Shi Chenliang, watching this scene from the opposite side of the arena, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Having fought his way up to this point, Ge Bai, this plant master, is someone we can't help but pay close attention to.

Da Liu's violent output shocked everyone present. He had originally planned to suppress and defeat Da Liu.

But now it seems that the opponent for himself and the Empty Mirror Doll is this Cymbidium goeringii.

Shi Chenliang was still somewhat surprised, after all, in the eyes of everyone, including himself, this Cymbidium goeringii seemed to have only demonstrated its superb ability to teleport.

Ge Bai didn't know much about him, and his understanding of Ge Bai was also superficial.

Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.

Shi Chenliang quickly let the matter go and calmed down; he was still very confident in his empty mirror doll.

-

Game start.

The empty mirror doll and Chiyoran disappeared from the spot at the same time.

The difference is that Chiyoran appears randomly in the sky, while the Empty Mirror Doll flashes and lands not far from where Chiyoran was last seen.

Both sides exhibited impressive fluctuations of spatial spiritual energy.

The empty mirror doll left a spiritual mirror door in front of Ge Bai and the others.

The first one!

High in the air, Chiyo Ran tentatively launched a Chiyo Sword at the empty mirror doll.

This is naturally a fake Chiyoken.

She didn't expect this attack to cause any damage to the empty mirror doll, or even that the fake Chiyo sword could touch the edge of the empty mirror doll.

And that's exactly what happened.

Just as the fake Chiyoken was about to touch the empty mirror doll, he disappeared again, flashing into the doorway.

The fake Chiyo sword was stuck in the ground in front of the mirror door.

The empty mirror doll that flashed and disappeared behind the mirror door reappeared beside Chiyo and set up a second mirror door.

The arrangement of the mirrored doors in this show will definitely be more complex and magnificent than the last one.

In the previous match, all the mirrored doors were mainly concentrated on the ring floor, forming a flat surface.

Now, since both pets are space-type and have the ability to stay airborne, they are now able to combine their abilities.

The mirrored doors of the empty mirror dolls will inevitably be scattered throughout the three-dimensional space.

Chiyo flashed back a short distance, not too far from the second mirrored door.

The empty mirror doll also seized the opportunity, emerging from the mirror door and bringing with it a shattered mirror.

The mirror shards, wreathed in spiritual energy, shot straight toward Chiyo.

Chiyo didn't hesitate either, unleashing another Pseudo-Chiyo Sword, which steadily blocked the attack from the Empty Mirror Doll.

This mirror is shattered; its attack power doesn't seem very strong.

A war of attrition?

Ge Bai looked up at the scene, frowned, and felt a headache coming on.

If what the empty-camera doll is showing so far is its full true power.

If we can't find a way to break the deadlock, and things continue like this, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

However, the more spiritual mirror doors the Empty Mirror Doll sets up in the arena, the lower your chances of winning.

No, there must be a flaw.

Ge Bai's mind was racing.

Although the Empty Mirror Doll is rare, it only commands pets of the Space Bloodline type. If the Mirror Domain is truly invincible and has no way to be broken, it is impossible that I have never heard of it.

There must be a way to break this mirror-like barrier. Let's wait and see!

"Don't rush, Chiyo, take your time."

Gobai took this match much more seriously than before. After thinking for a moment, he spoke up to remind Chiyo.

"Seize the opportunity to attack, but don't try to kill the enemy in one blow; increase the distance of your Flash."

As Ge Bai watched the ever-increasing number of mirrored doors, he pondered a solution while secretly worrying, feeling uneasy.

"Okay, I understand!"

Before Chiyo disappeared from the spot, she didn't forget to shoot a fake Chiyo arrow at the empty mirror doll.

Chiyo, who was focused entirely on spatial teleportation, casually struck the empty mirror doll, but the attack missed.

However, because the two pets were too close together, Chiyoken followed the empty mirror doll that disappeared into the doorway and passed through the mirror door together.

An unexpected scene unfolded.

Everyone originally thought that Chiyoken would pass through the mirror door and appear directly on the other side of the mirror door, just like the clown tiger helplessly swinging its claws at the mirror door.

But that didn't happen.

Chiyoken, who passed through the mirrored door, disappeared inside the door and then instantly reappeared behind the first mirrored door.

Chiyoken can also utilize the spatial passage constructed by the Spirit Mirror Gate?

Yes, it's a spatial passage.

Don't be fooled by the elaborate and flashy way the Empty Mirror Doll is set up with its spiritual mirror doors.

But in essence, it is nothing more than establishing an entrance at one anchor point in space, constructing a spatial passage that is invisible to ordinary people, while the other anchor point is located in another location in another space.

The Empty Mirror Doll, on the other hand, uses spatial spiritual power to teleport within a spatial channel it creates.

While his teleportation isn't as agile as Chiyo's, that doesn't mean it's inferior to Chiyo's.

Within the mirrored door set up by the Empty Mirror Doll Shop, the energy consumed by his teleportation must be much less than that of Chiyo, who needs to teleport every time.

Furthermore, what makes Ge Bai most uneasy is that the skill is called "Mirror Realm," not "Teleportation Gate."

Forget about all that for now, this unexpected Chiyoken strike truly caught Ge Bai's eye.

Ge Bai keenly turned his gaze to Shi Chenliang.

Shichenliang, who was also keeping a close eye on the field, frowned deeply when he saw Chiyoken pass through the spiritual energy mirror door.

He hadn't expected this to happen; it was very disadvantageous.

"Dailiu, give it a try, unleash a wind blade at the first mirrored door."

With his gaze fixed on Shi Chenliang, Ge Bai, his mind clear, issued instructions to Da Liu.

"Liu Gu!"

Watching from the sidelines, Da Liu was itching to join in.

Before Ge Bai could finish speaking, Da Liu swiftly unleashed a wind blade at the mirrored door in front of him.

This time, however, Ooyuki's wind blade was not teleported through the spatial passage of the mirror door like Chiyoken's.

They simply passed through the mirrored door and landed on the ground behind it.

After a moment of contemplation, Ge Bai patted Da Liu without saying anything, and turned his gaze back to Chiyo and the empty mirror doll that were chasing and flashing in mid-air.

Chiyo kept increasing the distance between herself and the teleportation device, while the Empty Mirror Doll followed closely behind her, constantly setting up mirror doors.

The two may have had contact.

But it was nothing more than a pseudo-Chiyo sword with no strong attack power, against a mirror shatter that also seemed to have no strong attack power.

Who do you think will win?

Ping Ningyan leaned against the railing of the podium, arms crossed, looking at the field with great interest.

Although the match between the neighboring Long family boy and Yi Kaijun has also started, the two are still in the stage of testing each other.

The place is far away and doesn't look as magnificent as this side.

Yes, the match between Ge Bai and Shi Chenliang wasn't exactly exciting, but the field was filled with mirrored doors that were themselves dreamlike and illusory, some of which could reflect dazzling light from different angles.

This venue clearly looked more dreamlike, and the two little figures, appearing and disappearing at varying heights, inevitably attracted the attention of most of the audience.

"The skill level is all too average."

Coach Zheng Mingchun looked at the two pet beasts that flashed in the air with a stern face and gave them a not-so-high evaluation.

"Is it that strict, Coach Zheng?"

Ping Ningyan always had a smile on her face and seemed nonchalant.

"What is this thing? It looks fancy, what's the difference between it and children playing house?"

Coach Zheng Mingchun frowned and shook his head.

"Hey, they're all still kids."

Dissatisfied with Ping Ningyan's leniency, Zheng Mingchun frowned.

-

Go up from behind the stands.

Principal Hu Shuo and Professor Luo Wan also focused their attention on Ge Bai and Shi Chenliang.

"These two little guys are playing cautiously."

Principal Hu Shuo's assessment was much more tactful, but Professor Luo Wan shook his head directly.

"Goblin is at a disadvantage. If she can't figure out how to break the lens gate soon, she will lose once the mirror array of the empty mirror doll is set up."

"Not necessarily, it should still have some resilience."

Principal Hu Shuo responded with a smile.

Clearly, these two know far more about the empty-camera dolls than Ge Bai does.

-

"They seem really capable, but why do they always seem to be dragging their feet?"

As soon as Fang Miaowen saw the semi-finals start on both courts, she immediately sat up straight, pretending to be completely engrossed, which made Ran Caijiao unable to say anything more to her.

After glancing at the venue and then at her cousin, Ran Caijiao asked.

"It's not time yet, but it looks like it'll be soon."

Hearing her cousin say this, Fang Miaowen got excited.

"Do you think the time is auspicious?"

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that Dairyu and Chiyoran from Gobai really don't have much of a way to deal with the empty-scene dolls, do they?"

The recipe for the "Burning Bell Pepper" remains a mystery.

"It seems so," Fang Miaowen said hesitantly, but it was indeed the truth. "But in the end, it's not necessarily the case that Ge Bai and his group will lose."

"You think this is a war of attrition?"

Ran Caijiao glanced at Fang Miaowen, looking at him like he was an idiot.

Fang Miaowen stared wide-eyed at her cousin innocently.

"Isn't that right?"

Shaking her head, Ran Caijiao didn't want to pay any attention to her cousin.

She sighed inwardly. Fang Miaowen really couldn't be ranked among the top four in this year's class of Jinggang No.1 Middle School. She was far inferior to herself back then.

-

On the field.

Looking at the mirrored doors of varying heights that had covered most of the venue, Ge Bai's unease grew stronger, and she even felt a long-lost sense of irritability.

Having fought this far, she absolutely does not believe that Shi Chenliang wins every time by attrition.

The first-level Transcendent Realm Empty Mirror Doll only displays two skills.

But their strength is definitely not as ordinary as it is now; they have hidden trump cards that we just haven't seen yet.

Just like their own Chiyo, not to mention their trump card, they haven't even unleashed the real Chiyo Sword yet in this match.

No, this absolutely cannot continue.

At this moment, Shi Chenliang was also sending a telepathic message to his pet beast.

"Shuiyue, stop playing around and speed things up."

"quiet."

The empty mirror doll let out a relaxed squeak.
