Chapter 62: Arena Preliminary Rounds!
Seeing Ge Bai lecturing his pet beast, the man in the floral shirt nearby eagerly approached.
"Coach Ge, you can't just talk about your own pets, give us some feedback on our Youhu too."
It has to be said that the shameless look of that person in the floral shirt is really hard to look at.
Ge Bai was somewhat speechless. She didn't know to what extent other coaches commented on their sparring partners, or whether it was appropriate to be too harsh or too mild.
Seeing Ge Bai's hesitation, the man in the floral shirt quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright, please tell me what's wrong, don't be shy."
"Are you sure? Then I'll really tell you."
After thinking about it, Ge Bai decided to tell the truth.
"Mmm." The man in the floral shirt not only looked at Ge Bai expectantly, but also pulled You Hu, who was lying next to him, over.
"The training volume is too low, the gradual progression is too slow, and the pressure is not enough. We need to train harder."
Indeed, this kind of sparring with a training partner is far inferior to actual sparring where there is a winner and a loser and a risk of injury.
"Meow!"
Upon hearing this, Youhu immediately howled in dissatisfaction. He knew very well that sparring with someone at the martial arts gym was different from one-on-one practice!
Hearing what Ge Bai said, the floral shirt wilted a little, and he sighed.
"Sigh, I know, it was probably already very difficult to persuade Youhu to come to the martial arts school for sparring."
God knows how much he spent to appease Youhu.
It's not easy to persuade Youhu to fight a single 1v1 match, let alone to keep persuading him to fight one 1v1 match after another all day long.
Seeing this, Ge Bai stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone has their own destiny, and thankfully, he didn't need to worry about his own family.
She shrugged and told Oyagi and Chiyo to get ready. The woman in the floral shirt also called for Yuuko to return to the starting position and continue sparring. It's better than not sparring at all.
As soon as Ge Bai finished speaking, Da Liu and Chiyo became even more attentive.
The most captivating aspect of each round always lies in the responses of Chiyoken and Ooyagi after their spatial teleportation.
Although he didn't just go through the motions with Youhu, he seemed like a mere extra in the sparring session between the three pets.
Two hours had passed, and Youhu was more excited than anyone else. Ignoring the beast tamers, he rushed straight out of the training ground and stood at the door, howling and shouting for the flower shirt to hurry up.
Ge Bai shook his head helplessly; the lynx was beyond help.
The intelligent and beautiful beast tamer Zhou Er and her little sunflower cockatoo had arrived long ago. While waiting for Ge Bai outside the training room, they watched a few rounds of Youhu's sparring.
As soon as this ended, Zhou Er brought the flower goose in.
"I just saw your weeping willow and this orchid being used as sparring partners for the lynx. Would you mind paying extra? We'd like to switch to this model as well."
Ge Bai was naturally happy to agree to Zhou Er's request.
"No need to pay extra, just stick to the original agreement. The main thing is that I want to play with my Chiyoharu Gladiolus too."
Zhou Er pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "I have one more small request. Please communicate with Chiyo Haruka Ran and ask her to freely transfer skills instead of transferring all skills that cause spatial distortion to Chuisi Guliu."
Ge Bai was surprised; she remembered that this spotted goose also disliked training.
But she didn't forget to carefully explain Chiyoran's Chiyo Sword to Zhou Er, "If you get hit, the injury won't be light."
Zhou Er nodded affirmatively, and casually stroked the head of the spotted goose, which then let out a soft quack.
"Eek!"
"No problem, I've already talked to Hua'e. It's easy to book a healer at Yunhe Martial Arts School. We can afford this kind of injury."
"Pressure makes you progress faster."
Since we've made it clear beforehand, let's do it this way.
Ge Bai summoned Xiao Tao.
The three pets, no, the four pets, were having a great time training in the training ground.
Hu Ming from Yunhe Martial Arts School heard that Ge Bai's client had made an appointment with a therapist, so he came over to check on things, feeling a bit uneasy.
Just then, Ge Bai called out to him.
"Does Yunhe Martial Arts Academy have pets that have just passed the Transcendent Realm, um, just reached the first rank, to serve as sparring partners?" Ge Bai was actually more used to using the new terminology of pet levels, but considering that the Alliance had not yet made it public, he changed his words.
Hu Ming was somewhat surprised. "Does it have to be a pet that has just reached the first tier? Is it to be Da Liu's sparring partner? Isn't the level a bit too high? The first tier is completely different from the zero tier."
Ge Bai nodded. She hadn't forgotten the system task: defeat and repel 10 Tier 1 pets. Her completion rate was still zero.
Only 13 days left.
If this task was already quite difficult for Ooyagi and Momo, now that Chiyo is involved, it's not so far out of reach.
Hu Ming frowned and pondered for a while.
"As far as I remember, the martial arts school has a Tier 1 beginner pet registered as a sparring partner. I need to check the specific level and attributes. Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Hu Ming immediately turned around and went back to the front desk, and soon brought Ge Bai a form.
The information for the two pets is listed above.
One of them was the green-shelled water turtle she had seen on her first day at Yunhe Martial Arts School, a Level 3 Transcendent Realm turtle with main attack skills: Water Arrow and Shell Spin. Note: Excellent defense.
The second one is a Frost Sprite, Level 4 of the Transcendent Realm, whose main attack skills are Blizzard and Frost Rain. Note: Excellent agility.
There weren't many options available, and in fact, Goba wasn't particularly satisfied with either of his opponents.
The green-shelled water lizard has a very thick shell and is not used to attacking.
Although the Frost Sprite is described as having good agility, it actually goes into a semi-invisible state after casting its skill, making it difficult to catch.
Although it's not that they can't handle it, if they could choose their sparring partners, Ge Bai would still like to select a higher-level opponent that Da Liu and the others are more comfortable fighting.
"Currently, only these two pets in the martial arts school meet your needs." Hu Ming saw Ge Bai frowning and felt somewhat helpless.
"Gebai, what are you looking at?"
Just then, Little Chili's clear voice rang out.
As soon as Ge Bai looked up, he saw a bright red chameleon bouncing and hopping towards them.
She patted Hu Ming on the shoulder, then moved closer to Ge Bai and peered at the paper in Ge Bai's hand.
"Are you choosing a sparring partner? A level one one? It's only been a few days, and Da Liu already needs a level one sparring partner?" Ran Caijiao recognized this as the Yunhe Martial Arts Academy's sparring pet standard information sheet and immediately guessed what Ge Bai was up to, exclaiming in surprise.
Ge Bai didn't explain in detail, and said perfunctorily, "I contracted a new pet beast and want to train a few pet beasts to work together, so that I can challenge the first level of beginner level."
After listening to Ge Bai's explanation, Ran Caijiao nodded, which made more sense.
"Martial arts schools have relatively few level 1 beginner pets. If you want to fight, I know a place that might be suitable for you."
"where?"
Ge Bai's eyes lit up.
Burning Bell Pepper didn't keep them in suspense any longer, "The city-wide preliminary rounds of the tournament have already started, didn't you know?"
District-level preliminary rounds?
Ge Bai was completely bewildered; she really didn't know.
Burning Pepper continued, "Hey, I'm so confused. You don't know, several high schools in Jinggang City have a rule that students who achieve certain results in the annual preliminary rounds of the tournament will receive extra points on their final exams. So there are quite a few high school students participating in the preliminary rounds, and they are usually at the first level."
"How do I register? What's the competition format?"
Gobai was very interested.
