Chapter 15: We need to find more sparring partners for Da Liu.
Ge Bai was taken aback and hesitated for a moment.
He glanced at the little monkey Jinrui, then at the big willow.
He bent down, picked up a fist-sized rock from beside him, weighed it in his hand, and shouted to Da Liu.
"DaLiu, fire a wind blade in our direction."
Upon hearing this, Da Liu did not hesitate and immediately hurled a wind blade at Ge Bai.
Ge Bai aimed at the wind blade and hurled the rock at it.
Snapped.
The wind blade struck the rock.
The rocks on the nearby mountains are all quartzite, which is quite hard.
Ge Bai bent down and picked up the stone. The stone was not split in half, but the wind blades left a deep mark of about five centimeters on it.
Handing the stone to Liu Hao, Ge Bai said, "Look, this is the strength of a wind blade."
"Look at the strength of the willow whip against that rock wall over there."
On the distant rock face, there are three marks ranging from light to dark.
Every forty minutes or so, Ge Bai would have Da Liu use his willow whip on the rock wall.
The marks were all made today, and they're not too deep, but you can see that the pressure was gradually increasing.
Liu Hao assessed the situation and nodded.
"This attack strength is not low for a spirit beast below the first tier."
"Jin Rui probably felt a lot of pain from that, but it shouldn't be a serious injury."
Pet battles are a great way to improve the skill proficiency of both sides. There are also many venues in Jinggang City that offer pet training for a fee, but the prices are not low.
It's common for pets to get injured during battles.
Most injuries will gradually heal after the pet returns to its spiritual space.
For more serious injuries, you can seek help from healing spirit plants or spirit beasts.
So getting a minor injury is really not a big deal.
As he spoke, Liu Hao looked down at the little monkey in his arms.
"Jin Rui, would you like to spar with Da Liu?"
"Just use your dodge skill to avoid the wind blades."
Jin Rui hesitated for a moment, then nestled in Liu Hao's arms without making a sound.
Da Liu's wind blade activation speed is not fast now; it takes nearly ten seconds to launch a single wind blade.
If both sides can practice together, it will be very beneficial for improving Da Liu's skills.
Hearing the commotion, Da Liu stopped practicing and watched intently, eager to try it herself.
Ge Bai saw through Da Liu's thoughts and tempted her from the side.
"Jin Rui, if you can get to Da Liu's side, you can even touch Xiao Tao."
The little monkey, who was initially hesitant, was instantly filled with fighting spirit when it heard that it could touch the peaches.
He jumped off Liu Hao, adjusted himself on the ground, and then prepared to sprint.
Seeing that Jin Rui was ready, Da Liu also poured his spiritual power into the willow branches, ready to unleash the wind blade at any time.
The two ends of the open space are about fifty meters apart.
In an instant, Jin Rui suddenly exerted force with his hind legs and leaped forward.
Almost simultaneously, Da Liu Feng Blade was unleashed.
With a snap, Jin Rui rolled to the right and narrowly dodged the wind blade, which almost grazed his left arm.
7 m.
Two wisps of monkey hair drifted by, the wind blade landed, dust flew up, and Jin Rui readjusted his posture before charging towards Da Liu.
After unleashing the first wind blade, Da Liu did not stop mobilizing his spiritual power and immediately began preparing for the second one.
Jin Rui then surged forward another 11 meters.
Meet the second wind blade from Da Liu.
The wind blade was thrown horizontally and low, aiming for Jin Rui's leg.
The little monkey leaped nimbly, but was still a bit too slow; a wind blade swept across his right leg.
"Chirp."
The pain made him instinctively cry out, and his movements slowed down.
Whoosh, whoosh, two sounds of air being cut, less than a second apart.
Ge Bai's eyes lit up in the distance.
What is this? A barrage of wind blades.
It seems that the sparring is indeed effective, and Da Liu is taking it very seriously.
The third wind blade struck Jin Rui's right front, forcing him to dodge to his left.
Unsurprisingly, Jin Rui's left chest collided with the fourth wind blade that followed closely behind, and he fell to the ground.
21 meters, four wind blades.
This was their first practice session, and this is how Little Monkey and Big Willow performed.
Seeing Jinrui fall, Da Liu also stopped.
Jin Rui patted the dirt off his body, rubbed his left shoulder, and got up.
She looked at Da Liu, then turned to look at Liu Hao, and gave Liu Hao a pitiful whimper.
Liu Hao felt a little sorry for him and waved to Jin Rui. The little monkey rushed to him, jumped into his arms, buried its head in his arms, and kept whimpering.
After all, it's still just a little monkey.
"Liu Gu, Liu Gu." Da Liu swayed her willow branches in the distance, calling out to Ge Bai with great pride.
"Bye-bye! Did you see that? I can cast two Wind Blades at the same time!"
Seeing Liu Hao comforting Jin Rui, Ge Bai couldn't be too happy.
He walked towards Da Liu, smiled and nodded heavily at him, and gave Da Liu two thumbs up from an angle where Liu Hao and Jin Rui couldn't see him.
Seeing this, Da Liu became even more excited, her willow branches practically swaying like a dog's tail.
When she reached Da Liu's side, she spoke to him softly.
"Da Liu, Jin Rui isn't an enemy, she's a friend who practices skills together."
"What we need to practice now is the accuracy and speed at which you swing your wind blades."
"Could you try to reduce the intensity of the wind blades as much as possible?"
Da Liu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Wind blade intensity? Bye-bye, do you mean to adjust the level of spiritual power infused into the willow branches? Or to adjust the force with which you swing the willow branches?"
Ge Bai thought for a moment.
"I think it's the intensity of spiritual energy. You can try it."
Da Liu obediently tried it, aiming at the stone wall where he had just tested the willow whip.
As expected, Ge Bai guessed correctly; the intensity of the wind blades varied depending on the degree to which the willow branches were infused with the wind.
She patted the branches of the willow tree, encouraging it.
"Alright, that's it. Next, try firing more wind blades."
Ge Bai believes that if Da Liu can unleash a certain number of wind blades, he should be able to develop new skills based on the wind blade skill.
Over here, Liu Hao carefully examined Jin Rui's injuries. There were some abrasions on the skin of his right leg, and his left shoulder had been hit by the wind blade, with obvious bruising and slight bleeding, but it was not particularly serious.
"Jinrui, shall we try again?"
"Chirp!"
The little monkey poked its head out from Liu Hao's arms, nodded, and responded with a firm gaze.
Gobai also came back.
"I've already discussed it with Da Liu, and we'll try to reduce the intensity of the wind blades as much as possible."
After explaining something to Liu Hao, he bent down and spoke to the little monkey.
"Jinrui, let's set some rules. From now on, if you get hit by a wind blade, you'll have to go back this way and start moving forward again, okay?"
Ge Bai looked at the little monkey with a smile.
The little monkey looked at Ge Bai and then at Liu Hao, and Liu Hao gestured and explained to him again in a low voice.
This time, he seemed to understand, and nodded to the two of them. Ge Bai rubbed the little monkey's head.
Liu Hao put him on the ground, and he stretched his left shoulder, preparing to sprint again.
After watching for a while, the two saw that Da Liu and Jin Rui's practice was becoming more and more proficient, and they felt relieved.
"Bai Bai, your ancient willow tree is truly amazing. The Sichuan golden monkey is already among the most agile pets, yet it couldn't even get close to the willow tree through the wind blades. It's simply incredible!" Liu Hao exclaimed sincerely.
"This is just the Wind Blade. Once it gets close, the Ancient Willow Tree also has a Willow Whip skill, right?"
"I reckon that any agile pet of the same level would have to step aside when it comes to your Great Willow."
Ge Bai was fairly satisfied with Da Liu's current practice, but he was also analyzing it seriously.
"I'm still far from it. Once I'm more proficient, I think I can cast both Wind Blade and Willow Whip instantly."
"Further efforts are also being made to address the issue of multiple outbreaks."
Swallowing hard, Liu Hao hesitated, watching Ge Bai intently timing the wind blades that Da Liu was about to unleash.
They still didn't say anything.
Thinking to himself: It really is Ge Bai, who has always been competitive since childhood.
Looking at Ge Bai's serious profile, Liu Hao suddenly had an idea.
"Who knows, Ge Bai might really become a very powerful plant master, even more powerful than many beast tamers."
In this nameless little valley as the sun sets, a young man named Liu Hao seems to witness the beginning of a new era for interstellar plant masters.
